How important is proper nutrition? Let’s start with the cardiovascular syste.

Patience is Positive

Posted in Books, Food, General, Health, Nutrition, Vitamins

Patience is such a positive quality to possess. I know I have a long way to go myself in learning to employ it. It is a valuable tool when we have dreams and visions for any area in our lives. I recently read a small book called “Stop Treating Disease, Start Building Health by Steven […]

Spring Fling

Spring, yeah! If you are like me and most of the people I know, you can’t wait for the cold dark winter to end and spring to begin. Spring, the days are brighter and start to get longer and so much new life begins. The season itself is motivational.  So how about spring cleaning your […]


Valentine’s Day

Posted in Exercise, Fitness, Food, General, Health, Nutrition

I believe most people love to have a reason to celebrate. Valentine’s Day for many means a card, box of candy and or a dinner out including alcohol and dessert. Sometimes we need to make an effort to make new traditions and habits. I am firm believer that we should be able to enjoy some […]

Introduce your young ones to nutrition with my fun coloring book

Posted in Books, Food, General, Health, Nutrition

It is so important that our children get a good start with nutrition for optimal health.  From infancy to adolescence, a healthy diet is so important. I cannot stress enough the importance of a good immune system. We are constantly bombarded with negative energy from our environment. Computers, televisions and chemicals in the air and […]


Reading Labels

Reading labels on food items can be confusing. No doubt some of the vitamin names sound just like bad chemicals! Just keep your life simple and train yourself to enjoy eating natural things. YES, you can! Eating is a matter of habit. If you were born somewhere other than America your original diet would have […]


Own It! ask for help

Posted in Books, Fitness, Food, General, Health, Nutrition

Homeostasis is a word used to define balance.  Our bodies have regulatory mechanisms of the organ systems who are at work in our internal environment to bring about this balance. It is an endless job and we can either cooperate or hinder this effort. So many of the ailments and diseases we have become accustomed […]



“Darla is a great trainer and fitness coach. When I first became a client, I was recovering from a shoulder injury. She made sure my routine was appropriate and continued to coach me to greater levels of stamina and strength. And, the cool thing is that she truly cares about what I want to accomplish. Now four years later, my doctor informed me that my “age markers” were those of someone 20 years younger than my chronological age.”
