We all know that chronic inflammation is not good for us, but did you know that it can also be tied to the development of cancer?

I had learned that chronic inflammation could be harmful to our bodies back in Pharmacy School, but I wanted to delve deeper into what exactly was chronic inflammation, what caused it and how was this different...

Throughout the years, I’ve dabbled with journaling off and on. After watching a couple of my favorite YouTubers talk about how it’s an integral part of their morning or bedtime routine, I decided to make more of an effort to incorporate this practice in my morning routine.

I can’t say that I’m super consistent with...

I’m one of those people who can’t sit in one place for more than an hour or two… I start getting ansty and I simply need to jump up and move around for a bit. That’s not to say that I can’t sit through a movie, but I do have a harder time in a movie theatre versus at home, when I can take a walk break...

Cleaning our homes is one of those necessary tasks that many of us don’t particularly enjoy. That said, many of us also don’t enjoy living in a dirty home! So, we go out and buy the required cleaning products to make the task easier.

But did you know that most commercial cleaning products contain synthetic fragrances and toxic...

We all know that vegetables are good for us.  It’s been drummed into us from a young age to “eat our veggies” or “eat our greens”. Even a child would not argue against this.

leadership coaches…

but not cancer coaches. ‍

I was first introduced to meditation when I was in high school. A family friend had invited a meditation practitioner named Soma to stay at their house for a week to teach them how to meditate. They also invited my own family over to learn this fascinating and powerful mind-body therapy.

She taught us of all the benefits of...

I joined my first yoga class back in University. Back then, I joined yoga because I wanted to explore this fascinating practice as a way to keep me grounded during a hectic University schedule!

Also, I had several friends and classmates raving about the sense of peace and tranquility that yoga brought to them. After attending a few yoga...

I used to use a lot of beauty products… body creams, hair products and a very specific makeup routine in the following order: primer, foundation, concealer, highlighter, eyeliner, mascara, lip liner, lipstick and setting spray. At the time, I thought nothing of applying all of this stuff on my skin every day.

That all changed when...

Help! I Have Cancer... What Should I Eat? 

I’ve often wondered about the perfect human diet, and whether one actually exists. Nutrition has always been a fascinating subject to me and throughout the years I’ve found myself reading more and more about this topic.

Why is it that some people can eat in a certain way and appear...

The world of coaching is exploding and today you can pretty much find a coach for everything. There are life coaches, health coaches, business coaches, career coaches, leadership coaches, and of course, sports coaches.

But have you ever heard of a cancer coach? Now, you may be wondering, what on earth is a cancer coach and how...

Here’s an alarming statistic! Cancer is predicted to be the leading cause of death in every country of the world by the end of this century.
