A few things happened

Hi Reader,

It's been a while since my last email. August 2025, to be exact (gasp).

I'll spare you the prose. Here's the short version:

  • My chihuahua, Lobo, passed away in January. He was my best friend and constant companion for 15 years (and the star of that last email's photo). He was ready, and literally went out with a smile.
  • I turned 50 a few days later. I'm still not sure how, but the math checks out.
  • I rediscovered skiing, in the worst snow year Colorado has seen since 1984. Timing has never been my strong suit.
  • I passed my exam and am now a certified Applied Functional Medicine Practitioner! Very proud of this long-overdue milestone.
  • After a visit with family in New York, I came home and started rebuilding my business from the ground up, beginning with the website.

All this to say, I'm officially relaunching One Body One World.

It has a new look, a new model, and new ways to work together. The idea behind it has been living in my head for a very long time (since my days at NYU, honestly), and now it's finally getting out into the world. When you see it, I hope you'll recognize the logic it grew from and the value it offers.

If you have a moment, hit reply and tell me what turn in life you're most excited about, I'd love to hear from you. I read every response.

Here's to the next turn,

One Body One World · Newsletter Two terrible decisions Hi Reader, According to all standard business advice, I'm making two terrible decisions: Launching my most accessible program first. Breaking the first rule of marketing: making a program that's good for everyone. (Good for everyone doesn't mean right for everyone. More on that in a minute.) It's called the Healthy Foundations Collective. It's a year-round health coaching community for doing the things you already know you need to do, but...
