This is from  Dr. Joseph Pinzone: “Don’t eat so many sweets, your teeth will rot out of your head!” I remember my mom telling me that growing up, but she never breathed a word about a worse offender: Diabetes . Diabetes affects 26 million Americans according to the CDC, but worse: 79 million Americans are currently suffering from Pre-diabetes (Metabolic Syndrome). But there is good news, Pre-Diabetes is reversible. Dr. Joseph Pinzone – an Endocrinologist, the CEO and Medical Director of Amai Clinic , and the Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA – regularly treats pre-diabetic and diabetic patients. Amai Clinic is particularly apt at reversing diabetes, mainly due to the fact that Dr. Pinzone employs fitness trainers and a Registered Dietician on staff to work with all patients as a supplement to his medicinal interventions.   Doctors nonchalantly “prescribing” diet and exercise is quickly b...

I love smoothies in the morning, after a workout, or as an afternoon snack. You can throw all sorts of healthy goodness into the  blender, and come out with a delicious and satisfying drink. If you're getting bored of your old smoothie recipe, here are some great ideas from bodybuilding.com I personally love to get some greens in with a handful of raw spinach. Add some mangoes, almond milk, half a banana and maybe some blueberries. What's your go-to smoothie?

Do you ever do HIIT training? What's your favorite High Intensity Exercise?

I wanted to share a link to a great naturopath here in North Vancouver. Her name is Dr. Sacha Elliott and she's at the Lynn Valley Town Center. Check out her blog here: http://drsachaelliott.com/2012/06/25/naturally-thinner/ Thinking of going with a naturopath? Dr. Elliott is a great choice! If you already see a naturopath, what made you choose that type of doctor over a traditional Western doctor? Have a great night, Nicole

Here is the synopsis of Bel Air Bodies, my new novel available on Kindle . Amy Morgan is 32 and is struggling to make it in the high class community of Bel Air. She’s tired of being a single mother with no doting father at home; and dating the same types of guys is getting old, but she can’t seem to get her act together when it comes to finding the right man. Meanwhile, her friend Mandy is having -trouble too. Her attempts at getting pregnant are falling short, and her best friend has moved out of the state to run her own personal training studio.
