My goal is to provide accurate, useful information and support people’s efforts to control their blood sugar and improve overall health and vitality.                                         

Aging is a natural part of life. However, eating well, exercising, managing stress, laughing often, and taking care of yourself can dramatically slow down the aging process. 

I’m 57, and thanks to a ketogenic (very low carb)  lifestyle and gentle exercise, I feel better than I did in my 30s. I enjoy reading, writing, and spending time outdoors in beautiful South Florida.
