Do you have the guts to do what it takes to live your best life? I’m not talking figuratively here -- I mean literally -- are your bowels in order?

80% of our immune system is housed within our gut. EIGHTY PERCENT!! Or if you prefer your information delivered to you pinkies up...the gastrointestinal system plays a key role in the complex mechanisms of immunoregulation.  

So if your gut health is compromised it’s pretty safe to assume that you aren’t feeling your best. And if you aren’t feeling your best how are you suppose to enjoy the quality of your life or be the top performer at your job?

When working with my clients I usually start by investigating their digestive track before moving on to other areas of their life. And not just because I still have the humor of a 6 year old -- fart...

You know that feeling of excitement you get when you start a new job, decide to pick-up a new hobby or start dating someone for the first time?You can’t stop telling everyone about it and you invest a lot of money into a new wardrobe or supplies.

You feel fueled by a new found love for life only to find that after a few months you’ve come crashing down from your high, completely unmotivated to continue on.

This is called the dip. The crash. The “now what the hell do I do?”.

Seth Godin coined the term "The Dip" in his New York Times bestseller of the same name. It resonated so deeply with me that I couldn't wait to share it with all of you.  

The dip is the point where you are faced with a tough decision -- quit entirely or forge ahead to higher, more stable, more successful ground.

You’ll find me backstage, stepping over groupies on the tour bus to whip up our gangsta juice (what we call our power smoothies) before my clients go on stage in sold-out stadiums around the world.  Trust me, when touring the globe you need extra special nutrients to stay on top.  

But truthfully, don’t we all just want to stay on top of our game?

So It breaks my heart when good people, trying their best to up their health, get duped. I’ve seen it happen to my friends and co-workers again and again - I call it smoothie sabotage!

We’ve been told to eat more fruit and veggies, so many of us whip up a smoothie because it’s easy and tastes great - thinking we are helping ourselves out - when really, we are secretly sabotaging...

It’s time to bust a myth, ready? NO ONE IS SELF-MADE.

Nope. No one.

Sure, lots of people pull themselves out of tough situations, harness the energy to over come big things, or create a life they love. But none of them did it alone. Not one.

As the resident health coach for a few A-list entourages, I’ve done my share of globe trotting, talk show green rooms, product signings and lived on too many tour buses to count. Why? 

Because my clients, super-duper stars, require an entire team to perform at such high levels. 

And so do I. And so do you. But not the way you might be thinking - your entourage is unique to you.

Call it your entourage, your choir, your flock, your “inner - circle”, we all need people and resources to keep us on track, relaxed, and resilient when the s* hits the fa...
