RECOMMENDATIONS & TIPS TO HELP ALL BRAIN WARRIORS

A Brain Warrior lifestyle is chosen by those who are serious about their health, either out of desire or because they have to. Brain Warriors want to look and feel their best for as long as possible. Brain Warriors want to excel at work, in school, and in their relationships. Brain Warriors often begin this journey because they or someone they love struggles with a brain disorder or with chronic disease. Remember, the war for your health is won or lost between your ears, in the moment-by-moment decisions your brain makes every day.

Healthy School Lunches Kids Love

Every September, I’m bombarded with questions about healthy lunch ideas for kids. Let’s face it, the lunches provided by schools aren’t any better than most fast-food restaurants. Even calling them food is questionable. Then there are Lunchables – the Kraft created, pre-packed lunches that became all the rage in the 80’s and are still going…

I’m doing everything I’m supposed to do. I’m eating perfectly, I’m exercising, and I’m still gaining weight.” Sally had lost almost 60 pounds and she gained…
