Happy November, everyone! How did we get here so quickly? I swear, as soon as we get to Halloween, it is like a fast track of crazy holiday schedules for all of us.
I wanted to share a few things that I am loving right now that might also help us survive the holiday chaos. These are in no particular order:
I hope you’ve all been listening each week to my “Nina’s Got Good News” podcast. If not, what are you waiting for—subscribe here! Thank you to so many of you who are supporting my podcast movement to share good news.
This week on a brand new episode, my beautiful cousin Lisa Cummings stopped by to share so much of her goodness with everyone. She is a Certified Health and Nutrition Coach, and a Detox and Wellness Expert. In my opinion, once you know her, you just want to listen to everything she shares. In other words, my cousin knows best!
Happy spring everyone! As the weather begins to slowly change (I am still waiting for the weather to warm up here in coastal Connecticut—I know it’s coming soon), so does my appetite for trying new things.
From food to fashion, here are five things I am totally obsessed with right now. Here they are in no particular order:
Although summer has come to an end, I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful, hot months with friends and family!
We had lots of beach time and lots of quality family time, but now we are ready for the school year to start (as I’m sure many of you are too).
Throughout the summer, people have been asking me and my husband how he is losing weight, and what exactly he is doing. He really does look so great, and I could not be prouder of him. That was the main reason for this blog post—to share his success, and to share what is working for him.
I hope this helps others on their own journey. Cheers!

Have you been hearing all the latest buzz about beets? Those small, red, earthy and sweet vegetables seem to be everywhere. And it’s no surprise so many use it to make beet juice or beet salad (or even lip balm!), given its many benefits—from boosting the immune system with vitamin C and minerals, to supplying the body with fiber, manganese and B vitamin folate, which helps reduce the risk of birth defects. And that’s not all, beets have amazing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, detoxification and energy-boosting benefits as well!
Since we recently moved to a new house, I thought it would be a good time for us to re-think what cookware we are using in our kitchen. I am trying to be more aware of what toxic chemicals are being used in my household. You’re probably thinking what’s not to love about non-stick cookware? It’s easy to clean and cook on, plus it seems that it doesn’t darken or blacken as fast as other cookware does. But did you know that when pots and pans made with Teflon are heated above 350 ºC (662 ºF), the primary chemical in Teflon, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), “begins to degrade, releasing fine particles and a variety of gaseous compounds that can cause damage to the lungs when inhaled“?
According to recent studies, these toxins are accumulating in human blood dangerously fast, and the problem is that they are leading to chronic disease over time.
We all know that keeping fit and eating healthy in your 40s and beyond is harder than when we were in our 20s and maybe even 30s. Sometimes, it’s not until we reach our 40s that we start to realize the importance of health, especially in terms of the foods that go into our bodies and get absorbed into our systems. We become even more conscious than before, because let’s face it—we have family plus kids we want to be there for, for as long as possible.
You know that saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”? Well the same can be applied to avocados! My favorite superfood is the avocado, which is full of nutrients and health benefits for any age.
I recently learned from health and wellness genius, Dr. Frank Lipman, that we should all eat one avocado every day. I am hooked! If you’re looking for a food loaded with good fats, will keep you feeling fuller longer, and want something solid to help with weight-loss, I highly recommend avocados, and here’s why.
