We live in a busy world, and most of us hesitate to take time for ourselves outside of one or two vacations a year.

Normal blood glucose doesn't always mean metabolically healthy. Insulin levels may tell a very different story.

When clients tell me they found Rolfing called “quackery” online, I usually know exactly where that came from. Wikipedia. In my latest blog I unpack how Wikipedia frames alternative healthcare vs. what an AI seach shows. This is the reason Wikipedia is quickly becoming irrelevant.

When a new client comes in and tells me they looked up Rolfing and read that it’s “quackery” and “pseudoscience,” I usually know exactly where they found it: Wikipedia—very unlikely anywhere else.

Been wrestling with chronic neck and shoulder pain? I’ve got a practical Rolfing approach that helps active people move better — for good. With 20+ years of bodywork and advanced Rolf Institute training, here are two clear steps I use: 1) Fascial release: I target tight fascial bands around the neck and upper back to loosen restrictions and reduce pain, restoring smoother movement. 2) Posture re-patterning: I guide gentle movement and hands-on alignment to retrain your posture so gains stick and your range of motion improves. Ready to feel less tight and move with more ease? I offer in-person sessions at 951 East 6th Avenue, Denver — come see how sustained work can change your daily activities.

I love pets — and I also love connecting the dots between what keeps them healthy and what keeps us healthy. In my latest blog post I dig into why meat, fat, and bioavailable nutrients matter for dogs and cats (and why carbohydrate-heavy or “grain-free” replacements can actually cause harm). Ever wonder why some pets gain weight or develop heart issues despite “premium” kibble? It often comes down to how foods are processed and what’s used to replace grains—legumes and starches can spike blood sugar and bring along lectins and anti-nutrients.

If you care about lasting movement and vitality — for your body or your companion animal — the basics matter: real nutrients, sensible choices, and awareness of how diet affects inflammation, energy, and tissue health. As someone who’s spent 20+ years helping people restore posture, ease movement, and reduce chronic tension through Structural Integration and myofascial work, I’m convinced nutrition and bodywork are partners in wellbeing.

Read the full article to learn what to look for on labels, what to avoid, and why organ meat and proper fats often beat flashy marketing. Got a pet with puzzling health issues or an injury that won’t quit? Let’s talk about how better nutrition plus targeted bodywork can make a real difference.
