I’ll never forget the day I wore my hair pulled back with a headband and my coworker called me out for having a big forehead.

I had been self-conscious about it before, but that day made me feel ultra self-conscious moving forward.  My dreams of growing out my bangs for more long, luscious locks around my face and less work in the hairstyling department quickly vanished.

At the time, I had no idea how insightful my forehead would be about my health.

Sometimes what we take for granted or hate most about our bodies can hold the most valuable clues about our health.

For example, the extra weight you might have put on around the middle can be a big clue for blood sugar imbalances, toxic exposures, chronic stress and cortisol hormone dysfunction.

Or weight gain in your “lady parts” (aka breast, hips and butt) strongly correlates with excess estrogen circulating in the body, which can be true for both women and men.

And early signs of gray hair is linked to high stress and low levels of glutathione in the body, which is the body’s master antioxidant and detoxification nutrient.

When is comes to your ideal health and weight, your body holds all of the answers.

Western medicine takes more of a “let’s stop the issue” and take this pill for that approach instead of checking in with the body to understand where it’s coming from or what is causing it.

That’s why it’s so common to get prescribed a medication, such as birth control for acne, only to have it partially resolve the issue and for something new to pop up.  It’s like chasing holes in a sinking boat!

This western approach works perfectly in acute and serious situations such as car accidents or catastrophic events when measures need to be taken immediately to stop the bleeding and save a limb or life.  But they aren’t effective for the common chronic health and weight issues that most of us face on a daily basis.

We could spend hours breaking down all of your body parts and what clues they hold about your health.  Correlating body parts with symptoms and nerve meridians have been a main focus in eastern medicine practices such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries.

For today, let’s just focus on the little nuggets about your health that your forehead might have to share

In this week’s video and blog, I share 3 super clues that your forehead might be holding about your health and what you can do with the information.

These 3 clues will give you insights about your digestion, liver  and detox capacity, hormonal balance and thyroid function.

Super Clue #1 – Metabolism & Thyroid Function
I first learned about the forehead’s correlation with your health status when I started studying thyroid conditions on a deeper level.

Hair loss in the “widow’s peak” area of the hairline or forehead points to a sluggish thyroid usually indicating hypothyroidism or Hashimotos.

Missing the outer 3rd portion of your eyebrows (also in the forehead region) is another strong clue indicating low thyroid function that should be investigated.

Super Clue #2 – Digestion & Gluten Sensitivity
I was fascinated when I heard Dr. Tom O’Bryan (one of the pioneers in gluten sensitivity research) quote a study that connected the dots between the size of your forehead and your susceptibility for gluten sensitivity.

In the study, they found that a large forehead directly correlates with having Celiac’s disease and/or gluten sensitivity, so much so that the study stated, “This sign along with the presence of other clinical signs and symptoms, should alert a physician to test a patient for celiac disease.”

I had cut out gluten long before hearing this, and I was never diagnosed as being Celiac, but after hearing this is all made sense.  I had a large forehead indication and increased sensitivity or potential autoimmunity related to gluten, and that’s why I felt so much better with gluten out of my life.

Super Clue #3 – Liver & Detoxification
You may have heard the old-wise tale about how acne in specific areas of the face can correlate with your diet, stress, dirty hands and allergic reactions.

Well there’s actually some truth to this.

According to the nerve meridians used in eastern medicine, the area of your forehead is linked to your major detoxification organs such as you liver, gallbladder, kidneys and bladder.

Acne on your forehead can indicate a back-up in your body’s ability to detox and process toxins or excess hormones, such as estrogen, adequately.

When I was in the throws of healing Hashimotos, detoxing from toxic mold and estrogen dominance I had forehead acne for the first time in my life.

And even more interesting, on an emotional level forehead acne can be related to anger, anxiety, fear, frustration, worry and grief!

On top of it all, all of these clues can also be connected!  

In order for your thyroid to function at full steam, your digestive tract and detox organs need to be running effectively.

An inflamed digestive system from gluten sensitivity will allow more toxins into your bloodstream, leading to liver overload and then taking your thyroid down with it.

And the vicious cycle could go on and on and on.

Next time you look in the mirror, take a closer look at your forehead to see what it might be saying about your health.

If you notice any of these clues that I mentioned, you’ll want to…

• Do a food sensitivity and gluten reactivity test to verify if these are issues for you
• Test your thyroid to see if your thyroid hormones are in optimal ranges
• Boost your detox capacity with some high quality liver support supplements and naturally detoxifying food such as beets, dandelion greens and cruciferous vegetables

I’ve learned to love the size of my forehead because of the valuable insights and empowerment it’s given me about my health.

And as many of my clients and I have experienced, it may not be possible to change the size of your forehead but you can learn to appreciate the health knowledge it has to offer, and it is possible to get your thyroid, digestion and detoxification back on track so you can have your luscious hair and clear skin back.

Share this with a family member or friend who might find it useful too!

And as always, if you want to get your hands on the right lab tests and resources so you can find the missing pieces of your health puzzle and get back to feeling like yourself again, schedule an Ideal Health & Weight Discovery Session with me today here.

I’ve basically been a high performer right out of the womb.

When I was in kindergarten, I remember getting mad at my teacher for writing my name on my paper because I knew how to write my name already when the rest of the class didn’t.

I was student body president in 6th grade.  I took advanced classes in elementary, middle and high school while playing varsity sports and graduating with straight A’s.

In college I juggled a full time class schedule, internship, social life and part time job – I was “doing it all.”

And I’ve always excelled in every job I’ve had, climbing the management and career ladder quicker than most of my peers on top of throwing some of the best social gatherings and taking care of a sick mother.

Can you relate?

Now that I know what I know now about health, and how “doing it all” is what drove my hormones, immune, digestion, detoxification, energy and nervous system into the ground, I would certainly go back and do things a little differently.

It’s easy to get caught up in this fast pace millennial world pursuing success and peak performance while sacrificing your health.  It almost seems expected in order to make something of yourself.

But I’m here to tell you, there is a way to have it all without sacrificing your health completely, and yesterday I went live on the Driven Millennial Summit with Mia Christina Sarno to give you tips about how you can do life differently so you can perform and preserve your health at the same time.

And you’re in luck, you can still catch my live interview for the next 24 hours!

Let me introduce you to the passionate powerhouse, Mia Christina Sarno, who is driven to change the way millennials, and those of us impacted by the millennial age, prioritize our health.

She started Firewave Wellness, a digital platform for healing, vitality, and holistic health and I totally resonate with the movement… she’s supporting people around the world in decreasing stressful habits and transforming their mindset around health to make being productive (while maintaining health) easier.

You see, Mia also experience burnout, just like I did, as a result of trying to “do it all” – getting good grades, climbing the career ladder, being strong for others and striving for the ideal body.

We both recognize how the mode of the millennial age can drive people like you and me into health catastrophes.

This summer, Mia and I collaborated to provide you with super fast and simple tips to help you keep your health at the forefront while pursuing success in your career and peak performance in your life.

As you know, I want to support you and provide valuable insight whenever I can.

Mia has started a new show, The Driven Millennial: Fast and Easy Tips for Peak Performance without Burn Out, where I and other health experts get to share our stories and passion for health in a unique format that will encourage your heart and leave you with real TOOLS FOR HEALTH.

So let me ask you…

Do you want to go down the same road Mia and I did, or would you like to take a shortcut to the successful healthier super highway?

Or would you like to re-route yourself in that direction and reverse the health issues you might already be facing?

And what would it be worth for you to get better performance in your career, family, life? Even 1 take-away can change the way you perceive health. It’s that easy.

How often do you hear or say the phrase… “it must be a millennial thing”?

Whether you’re a millennial or not, your health has been impacted by the technology and social advancements of the millennial age.

Let me ask you a few questions…

• Would you like to do more faster, with more peace?
• Would you like to have the time to actually accomplish all the things you want to do?
• Would you like to have the energy to jump out of bed, EXCITED for the day ahead?

If you said yes to any of these then you’re suffering from the impacts of the millennial age, even if you aren’t a millennial, and there’s a very important person you need to meet.

Let me introduce you to a passionate powerhouse, Mia Christina Sarno, who is driven to change the way millennials, and those of us impacted by the millennial age, prioritize our health.

I’ve always prided myself on being a healthy eater, but what I realize now is that how good you eat doesn’t matter as much as you think.

As a kid I grew up with a garden, dinner was always balanced with a lean protein, vegetable and starch, and I had to clear my plate before I could have dessert – making sure I ate all the “good stuff” first.

In college I did my best to carry-on the good eating habits my parents had taught me, and although I wasn’t perfect I definitely ate healthier than the majority of my peers.  Plus, I hit the gym regularly to offset my indulgences.

But my weight was always up and down despite my healthy eating and exercising habits.

As I entered my mid-twenties I was determined to get my weight under control and have the body of my dreams, so I signed up for my first fitness competition.

I cut calories, I trained harder than ever, I ate small meals throughout the day and I drank gallons of water.  My daily food intake usually included oatmeal and berries, yogurt and berries, a protein bar or shake, and chicken breast with a vegetable such as broccoli or zucchini for lunch and dinner.

Super healthy right?

And on competition day I was the smallest I had ever been, a lean 125 pounds at 16% body fat that only lasted for a few days.

Sure I looked great on stage, but the second I relaxed on my diet and training routine after the show I ballooned back up and weighed more than I did before training for the competition!

Along with the rebound weight gain, my fatigued and seasonal allergies intensified.  I could barely keep my eyes open in the afternoon after having a double Americano and the second the seasons changed my head would fill up with fog, congestion and pain from earaches.

At the time I didn’t connect the dots between my fatigue, weight gain and seasonal allergies so I just kept trucking along and decided it would be a good idea to do another fitness competition to get my weight back under control.

This time instead of cutting calories so drastically I tried carb cycling, meaning I would eat less than 50 grams of carbs per day for 3 days then I would have a high carb day of 120 grams, and repeat.  My food included way more protein and vegetables, and way less fruits and grains.

I did more Olympic lifting and I pushed myself even harder.

My muscle gains were great.  I stood on stage at a lean 130 lbs and 16% body fat, feeling good in my body but still struggling with fatigue and allergies.

But just like before, my results didn’t stick.  Most of the weight came back, I was still tired all the time and plagued with severe seasonal allergies.

I questioned myself, and all that I knew about diet and exercise.  I was the healthiest person I knew but I didn’t feel or look like it.

I went searching for answers and that’s when I started to realize how good you eat doesn’t matter as much as you think.

In this week’s video and blog, I want to help you better understand the link between diet and getting results, and why how good you eat doesn’t matter as much as you might think.

When I found the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) Course, all of the pieces fell into place.

I studied fitness, nutrition and health in college but not a single class addressed the actual functional components or importance of diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction and supplementation and how all of these pieces worked together like the FDN course did.

What I came to find is that…

Your diet is only as effective as the rest of your lifestyle.

You could be the healthiest eater in the world but if you’re burning the midnight oil, over or under exercising, and dealing with a ton of physical and emotional stress, your healthy eating efforts fall to the wayside.

The body is a complex network of systems that all work together.  If you want your healthy eating habits to be effective for weight loss, increasing your energy or resolving other health issues, then you need all systems online and working right.

You have to learn to value sleep and stress reduction as much, if not more than, diet and exercise.

Focusing on diet alone may get you some results; maybe you’ll lose a few pounds, notice a small increase in your energy or some symptom relief but eventually progress comes to a halt unless your lifestyle also supports your healthy eating habits.

For example, one night of poor sleep or going to bed late can have significant impacts on your body’s ability to balance blood sugar and your hormones, both of which directly correlate with weight gain or weight loss resistance.

Over exercising or exercising too intensely when you’re body is already depleted and tired also directly impact hormone balance, which will dictate your weight.

And then there’s emotional stress.

When you’re stressed, your stress hormone cortisol goes up and surges in cortisol have been linked to weight gain right around your midsection (the “spare tire” effect).

I was guilty of all of these things.  I stayed up late, worked long days at a stressful job and constantly pushed my body beyond its limits when it came to exercise, and my functional lab tests showed it!

My cortisol was out of control, my sex hormones were low, I had a congested liver and some pretty nasty bacteria growing in my gut.

It was no wonder why I felt fat, tired and broken down even though I was eating healthy!

Ok, so here’s how I finally got my weight and allergies under control, and my energy back once and for all…

I shifted my focus to be equal parts diet, rest, exercise and stress reduction by:

• Paying more attention to what foods made my body feel good
• Setting a goal to be asleep by 10pm at least 5 nights per week
• Incorporating 1-2 days of restorative exercise such as beach walks and yoga
• Creating a daily mindfulness practice using a variety of meditation and breath-work tools

And I also worked on restoring function to the different systems of my body using functional lab testing as my guide.

Now my healthy eating habits are as effective as they can be, and one or a few days off my normal eating routine doesn’t throw me completely off course.

I’ve seen a similar story over and over again with the clients who have come through my health coaching practice.

They’ve tried various diets such as Paleo, Whole30 and Keto but get little to no results because it’s the only thing they’ve been focusing on, and their lifestyle wasn’t supporting the expected results of their eating habits.

But once we run some functional lab tests to identify their healing opportunities and get them on a more personalized plan with a balanced focus, the weight starts falling off, their energy instantly goes up and any other health issues start to diminish or go away completely.

If you’re frustrated with the lack of results you’ve been seeing from your healthy eating habits, then let’s explore what’s holding you back.

I’ve always been a determined, driven and career oriented person.

I moved up the corporate career ladder at a young age and found myself managing a multi-million dollar fitness facility at the age of 26 only to become burnt out from the 12 hour days and frustrated with the limited impact I was actually having on people’s health.

I then landed myself in a VP of strategy role with a corporate wellness company, only to once again reach burn out and hit a wall of frustration when it came to really having the kind of positive impact I wanted to have.

And all along the way I sacrificed my own health in pursuit of a career that didn’t actually light me up at the end of the day. I was left feeling frustrated with work, fat, tired and sick all the time.

Luckily a mentor of mine introduced me to the idea of being a health coach, and not just any kind of health coach, but one who could make a really good living doing what I loved.

A career as a health coach checked all the boxes…

• Freedom to set my own schedule and travel
• The ability to work from home and focus more on work-life balance
• Doing extremely rewarding work helping individuals on a deeper level

I enrolled in the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® course back in 2012 and I’ve been a full-time health coach making a good living doing what I love ever since.

Becoming a health coach not only brought joy back into my work life, but it also helped me heal my own health issues such as skin cancer, adrenal and gut dysfunction, Hashimotos, seasonal allergies, resistant weight loss and mold illness.

It was the best decision I ever made.

If you are passionate about health, want to help others on a deeper level, improve your own health and make a good living doing work that is extremely rewarding, then maybe being a health coach is for you too.

I’ve seen many people make a complete career change, going from being an engineer or stay-at-home mom, to becoming a hugely successful health coach.

What you do for work directly impacts the status of your health, so do what lights you up and your body will thank you.

The summit is already happening and it’s awesome!

Becoming a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, aka functional health coach, was the best decision I ever made for my health, happiness and career.

My decision was inspired by the health issues I faced at a young age…

…diagnosed with skin cancer at 26
…worsening seasonal allergies that would take me out for days and weeks
…chronic fatigue, struggles to maintain a normal weight, migraines and joint pain

All of which have been completely resolved using what I’ve learned as a health coach, and no thanks to the traditional medical approach.

I left the corporate world officially 5 years ago to pursue a full-time career as a health coach helping others to resolve their health issues and get back to feeling like themselves again just as I did.

The road to becoming a health coach and building a thriving full-time practice has been a bumpy one, but I did it and I continue to grow in so many ways!

Summer is officially here stirring up all kinds of judgements, criticisms, wants and desires related to how you feel in your body.

Do you ever find yourself wondering why you don’t have energy to do the simplest tasks such as putting away the laundry, riding bikes with your kids or paying attention to a conversation.

Does getting dressed every morning feel like internal warfare with yourself – you put something on, criticize yourself in the mirror and change your outfit a million times until you find something that doesn’t make you feel like a stuffed sausage?

Do you wish you could just feel like your old self again?

…the energetic, clear-minded, great skin, creative, in-shape, productive, pain and bloat free person you used to be.

I know. I’ve been there, and many of the clients I’ve worked with have been too.

There once was a time when I felt like a stranger in my own body.

Acne took over the radiant skin I was always so proud of.  Extra weight or bloating hid the muscle tone I worked so hard for and drastically reduced my outfit options.  Low energy limited my ability to basically show up in life; to be the social butterfly I had always been, to be present or creative in my work and at home.

And all I could think about was a time when I felt physically and mentally fit.  I didn’t have any self-imposed limitations. All I wanted was to find myself in that place again.

If you feel this way or have ever felt this way, can I get a hell yeah?
(if so let me know below!)

I struggled for a while before I figured out how to get my body back for good – but I did get it back and you can too.

The first thing you need to know is, there is WAY more to getting your body back than changing your diet and exercising.

And the second thing you need to know is, it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Diet and exercise are just two pieces of the puzzle when it comes to feeling like your best self, but they are only effective when the body is running on all cylinders.

Think of it like this…

If you owned the highest profile performance vehicle available in the world, filled it with the highest quality fuel and tried to take it from zero to sixty in 30 seconds with a clogged air filter, empty oil canister, imbalanced tires and sketchy electrical system what do you think would happen?

The car wouldn’t perform as expected right?

This is similar to what happens when you try eating right and exercising, but get little to no results. There’s something going on underneath the hood reducing the efficacy of your efforts.

In this week’s video and blog, I want to help you understand what is potentially going on underneath your hood so you can get your body back for good.

Have you ever caught yourself staring in the mirror wondering how you got here?  Wondering…

…where all the weight came from?
…if everyone else notices the circles under your eyes?
…how you’re going to make it through all your meetings today?
…what would happen if you just went back to bed and hid under the covers?

You see, so many others have felt this way too but they have also found a way to get their body back for good with the right lab testing and guidance.

What you’re experiencing did not happen overnight.  Feeling out of place in your body is something that has gradually occurred over time amongst the shuffle of work, kids, responsibilities, travel, stress and anything else going on in your life.

Feeling uncomfortable in your own skin happens when…

• Your hormone system go haywire
• Your immune system gets weak
• Your digestive system is dysfunctional
• Your detoxification system doesn’t work
• Your energy system gets slowed down
• And your nervous system sends mixed signals

In order to get your body back for good, you’ve got to get it all of the systems of the body running right, just like a high profile performance vehicle should be.

If your expensive high profile performance car wasn’t running right what would you do?

You would take it to the best specialist around for a thorough evaluation that would include a variety of diagnostic tests to check every aspect of the engine, fuel lines, tires, pumps and more.

To get your body back for good you’ll want to do the same thing so you can understand what is going on underneath the hood; what’s happening with your hormones, immune, digestion, detoxification, energy and nervous system so you’ll know exactly what steps to take to restore function and feel your best again.

Here’s the caveat though…

Running typical blood tests with your general practitioner, or even some specialists won’t get you the answers you’re looking for. (To learn more about why typical blood tests don’t tell you squat, check out the replay of the webinar I did here)

In order to REALLY see how your body is functioning, you’re going to need to run functional lab tests that provide deeper insights about function!

The good news is, these functional lab tests are super easy to do.  Most of them are urine, saliva and stool based making it convenient for you to do them in the comfort of your own home.

And based on these functional test results you’ll receive guidance on exactly:

• What foods are right for your body
• How much sleep you need and when
• What type of exercise will get you the best results
• Which stress reducing tools would be most effective for you
• And what toxins or other environmental factors you should minimize to boost your health

Now doesn’t that sound pretty straight forward instead of guessing about what you should be doing to feel good in your body again.

Running functional lab tests is what gave me the insights to get my energy back, get my weight under control, clear up my skin and think clearly again when I wasn’t getting the results I wanted from diet and exercise, or my doctors.

Running these types of lab tests is what has helped so many of my clients uncover hidden healing opportunities such as:

• Estrogen dominance
• Insulin resistance
• Cortisol dysfunction
• Liver congestion
• Poor thyroid function
• And intestinal parasites, bacteria and yeast overgrowth

Those were standing in their way of feeling like their best self despite their diet and exercise efforts.

And using the data from these lab tests to guide recommendations for diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction, supplementation and toxin removal is exactly how clients of mine such as…

…David, lost 40lbs without engaging in a structured workout routine and is able to sleep through the night…

…Jene, was finally able to control her MS symptoms naturally and now can keep up with her grandson…

…Will, is now more relaxed in his decision-making process and can handle even more workload and challenges…

…and Desiree, began to own her worth, which improved her confidence when navigating restaurants and medical professionals.

See, it is possible to feel good in your body and like yourself again!  All you need is the right lab tests and resources to steer you in the right direction.

If you want to get your hands on some of those lab tests and resources so you can feel like yourself again (or for the very first time), then schedule a complimentary Ideal Health & Weight Discovery Session with me here today!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know we have an epidemic of autoimmune and other chronic diseases, particularly in the Western world.

And it’s highly likely that you are suffering from this epidemic personally or at least know someone who is.

It upsets me to say this but devastating health issues have become so common, that most people have accepted them as “normal.”

The long list of symptoms associated with autoimmune conditions and chronic disease is alarming and can cause anyone who’s dealing with them to feel alone, anxious, and helpless.

If you can relate to this personally, or know someone who can, I want you to know something…

… you are not alone and it doesn’t have to be this way!

I’ve been there.  I have come back from an autoimmune condition, chronic fatigue and other health issues, and I can tell you from personal experience it doesn’t have to be this way.

Aside from my own healing journey as proof, there are several populations around the world where people are virtually free of autoimmune and chronic health issues.

There are areas where people not only live well into their 90s and even 100s but they do so with exceptional health, vitality and energy.

Imagine if you could travel to these places and learn from these extraordinary people who have in some ways found the fountain of youth. Imagine if you could then discuss their lives with the top experts in the health and wellness world.

Imagine the insight you could gain from these discussions.

You would learn the fundamental lifestyle factors that allow these healthy people to be free from disease, the same principles I have adopted into my own life to reverse Hashimotos, restore hormone balance, lose weight and get my energy back.

You too would learn how to apply this ancient wisdom to your modern life.

A life free from the symptoms that hold so many people back from having the energy and happiness they deserve.

If you’re like me, the thought of this probably brings you great excitement.

That’s why in this week’s video and blog, I’m so thrilled to tell you about my friend, Jason Prall and his amazing project!

Jason and his film crew, traveled the world to research and intimately understand the solutions that allow certain people to live very long, healthy and happy lives.

And now he’s inviting you to experience this remarkable journey, to learn from the healthiest and brightest minds in the world, in a first-of-its-kind, 9-part documentary series – FOR FREE!

Watch The Trailer Here.

In this documentary, you’ll visit some of the most beautiful places on Earth, speak to the vibrant and spirited people who live there and be moved and inspired by their stories.  It’s breathtaking.

Then you’ll sit in on Jason’s private meetings with the world’s leading health experts, authors, doctors, and healers.

You’ll be there as they discuss the fundamental principles that afford these people such wonderful, healthy lives – the same principles I have adopted into my own life to reverse Hashimotos, restore hormone balance, lose weight and get my energy back.

You’ll gain a deep understanding of how you can implement their knowledge into your own life to get incredible results too!
