Mental heath is more than a diagnosis or a mental illness. It's about taking the time to proactively engage in positive experiences. For some, there is an element of implementing strategies to manage a mental illness and for others its self maintenance and self care.

I have many distinct recollections of my mother uttering the words, "you're too young to understand", or "you'll understand when you have your own kids". Sure enough, some of the occasions where my mother uttered those words are certainly true. The part no one tells you though, is just how many things you wish you could go back in time and tell your younger self.

Every now and again a story makes the media because there has been a tragic death as a result of supplement use.

So my heading is a little bit click bait. This isn't at all about a miracle body sculpting diet program. I decided to share something personal with you because it is a subject that a lot of my clients ask about.

Its the question on the lips of every mother that ever lived - my child refuses to eat vegetables, what should I do?

Really, in the absence of a specific and diagnosed nutrient deficiency, such as iron, I don't focus on single nutrients with my clients.
