Perimenopause: P2 :: Exercise That Suits Your New Body
If you are in your late 30’s or 40’s, it may feel as if your body is going haywire. Don’t fret, a lot of women are going through the same thing around this time. But it’s really hard not to feel as though you are isolated in your suffering. Many of women struggle from constant irritability, hair loss, feeling like you are always rushing, depression, anxiety, vaginal dryness, extra 10 belly pounds that won’t leave, painful sex and lack of libido. Let’s be frank: life sucks whe

The Healthcare System: Part 2 :: What kind of GP is best?
Finding a personal and family doctor is an important task. It is also difficult. If you have medical insurance, you may be limited in your choice. This is frustrating but you may want to think of alternative options that are out side of the box. Insurance be damned, getting the right doctor can actually save you time, heartache and money. How often do you see your doctor? Because it is such a hassle, most people only go when something is wrong. They don't want to deal with in

How to Get Through Long, Depressing Winters
Considering that I am writing this in May, It may seem a bit out of season. But my best advice is to bookmark this is write it down to prep for nest winter. I come from sunny Los Angeles and lived for many years in cold and rainy Berlin. I know that Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing. It often gets worse with every winter. First, let me say that there is NOTHING wrong with you. Winter is a hard time for everyone. It is the energy and nature of the season. It is repre

Minimalist Beauty: Face Cleansing with Oil
Its a basic principal in chemistry that "like dissolves like." Therefore, oil dissolves oil. I'm sure you have heard by now that oils cleansing is all the rage. Even Neutrogena has an oil based cleanser. I am super happy about that, I have been using this method happily since 2011. I was preparing for a long backpacking trip and kind of broke. At the time I was looking to make my beauty routine as portable as possible. At the same time, I needed to do it with product that I c

Have Some Damn FUN Already!
“What’s the point unless you are having a good time!?” This has been my unofficial motto for years. Why kill yourself in the gym, why work long hours, why wait in line unless you are going to enjoy this life. I truly believe it too. What is the point of doing what you are doing unless you are having a good time. You may or may not remember the very telling headline of our time Man Goes to Mexico to Kill Himself, Ends up Spending a Week Banging Hookers and Doing Cocaine, Decid

How to be Sick
Seems odd, but some of you really don't know how to be sick. This seems to be a lost art today. The truth is, if we knew how to treat ourselves when we got sick, we would likely get sick less often. Human are the only mammal on earth that get sick and keep going. Every other animal retreats to a cave to fast and hibernate for three days. Sickness is a sign that you need to rest. We are guilted into this fast paced world where you are expected to keep up with thing all the tim

The Gym 101: P13: Recovery
Most of us long for a good looking physique and desperately scramble trying to get one. Too much scattered effort and not enough results are the fruits of lack of knowledge. There are many things that go into being well trained and it not just weightlifting and running. When you InstaHeros say its a lifestyle, they are right. You cant take the average american office worker and just tack on 45 minutes of gym time to 5 days of their week. While it will make some benefits, what

The Gym 101: P6: Mensuration and Muscle
Your period. Yay! Not the thing most women think of but coming from a woman who has lost her period for two years, I am grateful every time I have it. We should really honor out cycles as it tell us SO MUCH about what we are capable of, our current hormonal health and it gives us a tell about our bodies performance. It is a signal of our super power as women. So start working with your period and make it work for you. For women, making your training work for your cycle is jus

Beauty is Self-Respect
I believe it was Marilyn Monroe who once said “True beauty is learned.” I have always believed that and taken in to heart when caring for myself. We live in a culture where, up until recently, women are have been told that only skinny, blonde and blue eyed was beautiful. And if you weren’t, then beauty came from within. What a crock. Beauty lies somewhere in between. Beauty is weird, it is unique, it is graceful and it is lingering. Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder -

Clear Pores, Calm Joints, Reduce Scars and Quell Infections without Breaking the Bank: Beauty on a B
As a Los Angeles native, one of the things that gives me great joy is watching the modern health movement turn more towards natural remedies and preventative maintenance; formerly known as “Hippy Sh*t.” This is a great shift for us: for our health, for our planet and for our wallet. At their worst, most ayurvedic treatments do nothing and cost very little. At best, they actually help that is ailing you, produce less waste than single-use, overly packaged goods and give you ow

The Sweet Honey of Sleep and Not Dying Early
The reasons we can't sleep at night are usually the same reasons we don't truly live during the day. Michael Xavier Sleep research has been painfully scant through the last century. Outside of the “What Happens When We Sleep” physiology basics we learn in middle school, deeper knowledge about sleep is pretty sparse. I talk alot about sleep and recovery. Maybe because I have always been someone who requires more sleep than most. I try for eight to nine hours a night, happening

Smell Nice, Look Good and Perform Better
In an overstressed world, we need to talk a lot about recovery. In my last article, I talked about how important self-care and recovery is in a fitness program - if you want to effectively losing fat or gaining muscle and athleticism. I’d like to share with you one of my favorite methods of self care: a bath. Yes, some old-skool shit but a bath does wonders for mood, skin, muscles and nervous system. If you are trying to get the illusion of great skin through Kardashian conto

Help or Harm? Your Workout
The more I learn about coaching and training, the more I end up telling people to take it easy. It seems butt-backwards in the pursuit of fitness to down-shift. I am shocked how frequently I tell people to do less, to set boundaries and to schedule an hour for themselves - yet it must be done. Our westen, christian society values Hard/Long Work. In America, Hard/Long Work - not deep work - has become our new god. Even in making ourselves happier and healthier, modern busynes

Making Nutrition Simple: 5 steps to Easy Eats
Everyone thinks that going to the gym is hard - but, it’s not. You show up, put some effort in and get out. Maybe even you lift with a buddy or play sports with a team. This is enjoyable – 30 minutes, one or two hours a day and it’s over. But if you want to lose weight or get abs, you might suffer a bit in the kitchen. Let’s talk about ways to make this part less difficult- NOT easy, but LESS difficult. Start cooking with nutrition and not taste in mind If you are still going

Beat Stretch-marks and Exfoliate like a Beverly Hills Pilates Mom
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big believer in organic beauty routines. I am not talking about expensive high grade products, but natural produces such as coconut oil, lemons and baking soda as part of our daily hygiene and beauty routines. It's affordable, easy to access, and easy to travel with and it cuts down on the amount of products and bottles that are stored in the bathroom (this I am the biggest fan of).
Many women stuffer from stretch marks after giving bir

Thick Fit: It’s a Thing and it’s Sexy as Hell
You know all of those magazines that feature only skinny women? Well, there are a couple of reasons why those have been the prominent body type of high fashion and it has nothing to do with health or beauty. Even fitness gurus are lying to you about their bodies - you can't get a Fit Mag cover with 15 minutes a day of exercise. My main concern is for those of you who take these aesthetics as truths; who are ashamed of your thick, sexy thighs and soft hips. Who hate their nat
