This month I would like to share two separate articles I came across, both focused on brain health, albeit different aspects of it. First, the Covid-19 pandemic provided an opportunity to study the impact of socialization on our brains. Humans are, by nature, a social species. According to a meta-analytic...

Testimonials
Lisa’s weight loss plan really gave me a new insight to healthy eating and living. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January 2015. Healthy living/easting/exercise has become very important to me and my family and this program really helped me get even more on the course with this and helped me lose weight.

When I heard about the 10 Day Weight Loss Challenge, I wasn’t sure if it would be a good fit, since as a physician, I understand nutrition and health (and therefore knew the dangers of fad diets, etc…), and I do my best to exercise (though not always enough).
But as a single mother of 2, it’s still very challenging ti “fit in all in” (including cooking healthy meals for my children) due to my busy schedule. And when my time is short, bad habits crop up and weight gain follows.

I just wanted to say you were amazing through this 10 day process!
I learned so much from you! You were very thorough in all areas of the challenge and got back to us in such a quick manner with our questions.
It was a great jump start into a more healthy life style that’s for sure!

I LOVE the recipes, simple, few ingredients, appealing.
I like the idea of using the list of staples you provided when i was tempted to cheat!

I worked with Lisa to develop a holistic wellness plan that has allowed personal growth without having to completely change my lifestyle. Her programs are designed around your personal needs, so I always feel like I've gotten the most from my sessions and leave with manageable goals. Lisa's three-prong approach to wellness (fitness, nutrition and health) is helping me live a balanced and grateful life.

I’ve been through the ringer with different dieting plans through the years. Some helped me lose weight and some didn’t – but it didn’t matter because I would always gain it back.
I didn’t know if this 10 day Weight Loss Challenge would be the answer since everyone says they have the “BEST” way to lose weight.
But this one seemed to be more doable – like instead of starving myself, keeping track of calories (“been there done that – VERY annoying!”) and things I know I wouldn’t stick to.
Jill W, Park, NY
Lisa, you have been a very positive role model for me!
Through the exercise and diet I’m becoming healthy and more positive about my life!!!
Thanks!
