See, that’s just it. You never know WHAT you’ll hear on A Closer Look! Mary Ellen Psaltis was our guest on Thursday and we covered a lot of ground. Including that in your own backyard! Mary Ellen is a nutrition and wellness consultant, so we decided to kick off the new year talking about how to increase our well-being. Mary Ellen reminded us of some ideas we might have heard before (but forgotten) like keeping a gratitude journal… and gave us some ideas we KNOW we’ve never heard before! (Wanna lose weight? Get yourself some red wigglers!) Here are some of the tips she gave us:
- Every day write down 5 things for which you are grateful in a journal. Do not repeat. (Mary Ellen writes down such things as clean sheets on her bed, or a nice hot shower).
- When it comes to losing weight, become a label reader. No more Hydrogenated oil! (or partially hydrogenated)
- No more High Fructose Corn Syrup! It’s empty calories and your pancreas may have issues with it.
- Keep a recycling worm bin at your house. WHAT? Yup. Mary Ellen says that those red wiggler worms like to eat non-protein discarded food products (think orange peels and old lettuce). And if they don’t get enough to eat, they’ll die. Now you don’t want those little fellers to pass on, do you? So eat lots of fruits and vegetables to keep them happy and healthy! Yes, it’s losing weight by guilt, but if it works…..
Other ideas from Mary Ellen include simply smiling at people (it’s contagious) and remember, it’s not how MUCH you give, but rather THAT you give, when it comes to helping out others.
Find out more about Mary Ellen and her book, 12 Spiritual Vitamins, by clicking here. And keep an eye out for her new book coming soon: Gaining Thin. I like that. A whole new spin on the weight thing. You’re not losing anything… you’re Gaining. And that’s a positive way to look at it!
Coming up this week on A Closer Look… Jake Steinfeld (Body By Jake) gives us the inside scoop on steroids in body-building and how he started the personal trainer craze. Then Dr. Keith Ablow talks about finding our truths. Both interesting guys and sure 
to make a show that will give you lots to consider. I hope you’ll join us this Thursday at 1pm PT, 4pm ET. Go to www.ACloserLookRadio.com for more info.
And start infecting others with your smile!!
