Here’s a controversial statement from a health coach – your diet cannot solve your problems. However, when you put together a healthy diet with positive lifestyle, movement and stress management techniques, it sure as hell can make all the difference, in fact, it elevates the others.

Finding it Hard to Concentrate? Your Diet Could be the Reason Why

As a typical Virgo I struggle with this notion every day, my natural instinct is to have everything in my life “perfect”.
