Have you heard of Orange Theory? It is the new fitness rage. My sister-in-law and niece are big advocates. The family met in Philadelphia for the start of the 4th of July weekend to celebrate my nephew’s birthday. As the trip approached, my niece Sam texted me that she signed us up for the Saturday […]

Acupuncture and Me
August 2nd, 2015 
LeeAnn Over the past several years, I have experimented with more holistic approaches to my health concerns from complex regional pain syndrome treatments to regular visits with nutritionists, chiropractors, and massage therapists. The one that I purposely avoided? Acupuncture. When I was in college, my roommate had an aunt (in-law, I believe) who was … out […]
Mid-Clean
January 27th, 2013 LeeAnn I am now more than half-way through the four-week Clean program. How do I feel? I feel … wait for it … clean. Honestly, I feel pretty phenomenal. The biggest changes that I have noticed are (i) my level of energy is extremely high; and (ii) I have a clarity of thought that I don’t […]
Coming Clean
January 3rd, 2013 LeeAnn Have you heard of Clean by Alejandro Junger, M.D.?

January 31st, 2012 LeeAnn There are many healthy living bloggers who daily document what they eat. I love to surf those sites at night, looking for new ideas for dinner. I could never blog consistently about my own daily diet as the amount of repetition is extremely high. However, I often get questions, being a vegetarian, about what and how much […]

January 23rd, 2012 LeeAnn Due to the year-end rush at work, the holidays and travel, I got behind on my visits to my chiropractor. Last Thursday, about mid-day, my lower back sent me a clear message that it was going to ruin my weekend if I did not address it. FAST. So on Friday, I went to see my chiropractor, Dr. […]
Surviving December
December 6th, 2011 LeeAnn December is somewhat tortuous for me. The type of law I practice (commercial finance) is extremely busy around year-end. Everyone, for various reasons, wants to get the deal closed before January 1st. While the poor economy has significantly slowed down the volume of my work (which is not necessarily a bad thing), there is still a year-end push. […]
Oprah’s and My Favorite Things
November 17th, 2011 LeeAnn Fall is in the air, even in Savannah (kind of, sort of – it is eighty degrees today). For many of you, this may evoke thoughts of changing colors in the leaves, pumpkins, crisp clean air and winter clothing. Not me. I start to wonder what Oprah Winfrey is going to have on her Favorite […]
