There’s an 80% You’re Suffering From a Leaky Gut (And What to Do About it)

Dr. Axe is one of the nations leading physicians tackling the issue of gut health. According to Dr. Axe, 80% of Americans are suffering from leaky gut syndrome. Should we be concerned? What is Leaky Gut? We’re all aware that the gut refers to the abdominal region. Specifically, the gut is a long tube that begins at the mouth and ends at the anus. The gut is responsible for digestion as well as the absorption and expulsion of food. 90% of digestion and nutrient absorption occu

10 Expert Health Coaches Share Their BEST Tips

As a Health Coach I’m often asked, “What is the most important thing I can do to better my health?” This simple question often leads to a loaded response. So I wondered, how do other Health Coaches respond? Here’s what the experts are saying… Joe Wicks, The Body Coach recommends you “Ditch the diets.” Low calorie, quick fix diets aren’t sustainable. Fad dieting often leads to relapse resulting in weight-gain. When it comes to dieting, slow is sustainable. Adding in nutrient r

Comfort Zones Inhibit Growth

“Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most won’t so you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t.” -Warren G Tracy’s student After 5 years of residency, I was exceptionally comfortable calling Hawaii home. Nothing about Miami sounded comfortable. Quite the contrary actually, re-establishing home base sounded downright dreadful. Alternatively, complacency was NOT an option. 6 months ago I took initiative to start living as most won’t. Trusting

Aging Graciously

Last month I was privileged to participate in a long overdue family celebration. We met at grandpa’s in Old Town Eureka Springs Arkansas. While delighting the senses with a decadent spread of hors d’oeuvres and Argentine Malbec, we began discussing birthday festivities. Not so much as a casual mention of turning 35 sent my sister into roaring laughter. She turned to me and asked, “seriously Kate?” To which I appropriately responded, “what?” “You’re not turning 35,” she s

Aspire to Inspire

Having finally determined WHAT it is that I want to do with my life, I proceeded to ask, WHY? In the words of Simon Sinek, “why should I get out of bed in the morning,” and furthermore, “why should anyone care?” One must question the priorities of a nation that acknowledges fresh fruits and vegetables as the necessary bulk of a healthy diet, yet refuses to subsidize such produce. I am deeply disheartened by the inaccessibility of unadulterated food products within the United

10 Tips to Better Health while on the Road

Road tripping for the past 2 weeks has reminded me just how challenging it can be to eat clean, on the go. Billboards serve as an excellent tool in terms of navigating to the nearest Starbucks, fuel pump or fast food joint. Alternatively, I have yet to see a sign directing to the closest farmers market, Whole Foods or Trader Joes. I’m sure we’ll see the day. In the meantime, here are a few tips to ensure a healthy traveling body… 1. Prepare yourself– Pack wholesome snacks t

Eating for Energy

Before graciously bidding farewell to the incredible island of Oahu, it is imperative that I take one last pass at Kauai’s magical Na Pali coast. This majestic trail is nothing shy of fantasy! Eleven miles of rugged terrain is well worth the sweat in the presence of brilliant red rock, rich cascades of green, and electric blue waters. Having previously hiked Na Pali’s treacherous coastline, I am well aware that all provisions must be carried in and out, on your back. Clear

Run like the Tarahumara

What began as an egotistical sweat prompted by superficial pressure, has since transformed into an anthropological indulgence of self-discovery. What compels us to run? My run began in high school, undoubtedly in pursuit of thunder thighs and a banging booty. It sounded like a good idea at the time. No membership required, no assistance necessary, no structure, no equipment, just me, my shoes, and the open road. Like any other rebellious teen, I adamantly rejected Nike’s m

I’ve got the wandering eye…

IT’S A COMPULSION. It can’t be denied. It’s more than an itch; it’s a severe case of ants in the pants. It brews and festers; incessantly reminding, it necessitates relief. THE CRAVING FOR EXPLORATION is ferocious. It rejects fear. It insists on leaving comfort behind. It promotes passion. It promises growth, regeneration and renewal; and it always delivers! THE PURGE, is undeniably liberating. Stuffing the bare essentials into a suitcase fit to fly is humbling. Bidding

METABOLIC March

We all have a friend that can crush 5 animal style burgers from In-N-Out Burger and not put on a pound. Whereas others of us pack it on within the first bite. Why is that? Aside from human variability of size and stature, this is a prime example of our metabolism at work. Essentially, metabolism is the chemical process by which the body utilizes food in order to generate energy. Quantitative measurements of metabolism can be tricky due to variables such as age, gender, an
