#showmeyourbits How do YOU keep track of your daily nutrition (consumption) and exercise? Do you have a tracking device? Do you wing it? Accountability is the “buzzword” these days. People pay big money to coaches, online or otherwise, and even doctors...
LOVE other women… There seems to be a “move” underfoot about Body Positivity, don’t you think? GREAT NEWS!!!! But we have a WAYS to go. It’s an online thing for the most part but I hope that will extend to REAL life, ourselves and others....
Do you ever feel defeated? This week was MY breaking point! Hadn’t recovered from things the past few…years… let alone to now have my hard drive crash, *new* medical issues, work, the house, bullying… . And felt like I’ve been operating...

I had microneedling done for the first time the other month. Surprising that it was my first time given that I like to try things (duh) and especially things that could potentially help with my skin issues. There’s a lot of confusing information on what this...
There is an ongoing battle as to WHAT time is the BEST time to exercise. As if we regularly have a choice, though! For weight-loss or fat loss purposes, the science supports morning workouts- preferably in a fasted state. (Yes, I do intermittent fasting & have...
This is so incredibly important I want to ROAR (hence the lion in the pic). The other night when I went to TAKE (Yassssss) yoga, I thought, “Please don’t let anyone be in competition with me tonight…” Because the last several classes I was next...
Yep! I’m kicking it up (^ see pic) in the name of “science” And aesthetics! SculpSure is NOT the same as cool sculpting. I know it’s confusing; both treatments aim to permanently rid you of fat cells in those “stubborn” areas we ALL...

Internet world, meet my friend Rick. ( @endopharm79 ) We bonded on Instagram over a nerdy love of research, health, and helping people. We both have seen, heard and done some sh*t -and have the OCD to prove it! And we’re not often at a loss for words…a lot...
