Lots of practitioners participate in a lot of different advanced training programs.  The real measure of benefit and success, of course, is not what you have studied but rather what you are able to DO with what you learn.  I have seen many coaches frustrated with having invested in program after program that didn’t have […]

This video is aimed at helping the Health Coaches among us but it can really be very useful information for all practitioners. I offer some really valuable insights into how I personally grew my health coaching practice and how you can grow your practices as well. In this video, after the intro (around 4:15), I […]

I actually love aging.  Seriously.  Life gets better and better. Each year just brings more adventure, more fun, more opportunity, more wisdom, more freedom, more comfort, more gratitude and appreciation for Who I Really Am. I haven’t, however, always been so celebratory – or even peaceful – with myself.  I spent a lot of my […]

Magnesium is required to convert Vitamin D into its active form in the bloodstream.  As a result, Vitamin D supplementation (especially  high-dose) may actually cause or exacerbate magnesium deficiency.  It can be an major disruption in your quest to create a wildly-satisfied client if someone who begins using  a Vitamin D supplement suddenly starts having […]

  Our clients often come to us looking for interpretation guidance – and perhaps a bit of sanity – in light of the mounting wave of sensational medical media headlines.  This installment from Forbes (“Gluten Intolerance May Not Exist”, 5/15/14) quickly triggered more than a dozen inquires from my own clients.  Especially when someone has […]

 With new clients, there are two high-impact symptoms that I prioritize and address rapidly and aggressively:  constipation and insomnia (or poor-quality sleep).  To become wildly satisfied clients, they need to see major results – and fast.  Helping your clients to get quick relief increases their confidence in you as a practitioner and also their faith in […]

  Typical anti-histamine medications can leave our patients and clients feeling drugged, sleepy, or foggy-brained.  They can have other potent (but seldom publicized) side effects such as dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, or making an enlarged prostate or a yeast infection worse. I encourage my clients to avoid them whenever possible. Quercetin is a natural extract from […]

 I hope you found this quick clinical tip helpful!  Beta blockers are one of the most popular drug prescriptions for hypertension or chronically elevated blood pressure.  They are also prescribed for other cardiac challenges such as angina or atrial fibrillation (which is often caused by magnesium deficiency – but that’s another video for another […]

Q:  Tracy, what do you recommend to your clients who need routine over-the-counter pain medication?  Are there natural alternatives that really work?  And what’s the difference between drugs like Tylenol and Advil and Aleve?  I have heard that these are actually much more dangerous than we think, but I am not sure I can explain […]
