Tools to Get Healthy in the New Year {plus a giveaway}

First, let me say that there is no shortcut to getting healthy, nor do I espouse militant views about what constitutes healthy. I believe that everyone has to carefully weigh the evidence and listen to their own body type and take into consideration lifestyle and make their own choices.

I wrote earlier this year about taking a class on integrative nutrition, and I have started seeing a health coach. Through this process it has become clear to me that it is so easy to think, “I can’t do this,” and give up entirely, even after having seen some success. But you know what? Making better decisions, even if it’s not the “best” decision, can make a huge difference. I’m not ready to write about my journey quite yet, but I did feel the need to say that before I provide links to very informative sites that have a lot of great information. I do NOT want to contribute to anyone feeling guilty and giving up. OK? OK.
