Toolkit forWellness

"Toolkit for Wellness" was born from my passion for health and my desire to answer the many questions posed by my high school students and fellow teachers. This book is a comprehensive guide to understanding and improving your health through natural means. It addresses common health concerns and provides actionable steps to enhance your well-being.

Key Takeaways

Control Over Health

We can control more about our health than we thought.

Small Changes, Big Impact

Improve your health one meal, one breath, one movement at a time.

Digestive Health

"At last, an easy-to-understand explanation of how the digestive system works and how different foods react with our bodies."

Behavioral Tweaks

The successful way to change our behaviors is to make small tweaks, piggybacked onto regular habits, and apply them consistently.

Daily Exercise

Effective exercises can be worked into daily routines—even while waiting for the coffee to brew.

Anti-Inflammatory Living

All diseases are rooted in inflammation. The goal is to lead an anti-inflammatory life.

Toolkit for Wellness

All day long, ask yourself if what you are doing or eating is doing your body good.

  Control starting inflammation by eating right foods, and you will control one of the first dominoes from ever falling over toward disease!

  Clearly, in every single solitary thing I do, I have the choice to engage my brain or not.

It offers practical guidance, stress-reducing activities, and essential conversations to ease the caregiving journey.

Key Takeaways

Support for Caregivers

The caregiver is not alone.

Step-by-Step Guidance

With this caregiver book in hand, they are not faced with reinventing the wheel at every turn.

Stress Management

 The caregiver does not have to master everything at once. Breathe. Do one thing at a time. I’ve got their backs.

Immediate Relief

I share 2-5 minute activities that will instantly lower stress levels.

Family Conversations

Talking Points for The Conversation can get that difficult family talk started with ease and result in less guesswork for the future and smooth life transitions.

Practical Tools

When emotions are raw and energies spent, the Business Side of Dying Checklist is a handy tool to guide families through the overwhelm of what to do next.

The Caregiver Series

You can be spared a lot of trial-and-error, as well as fumbling mistakes, because you will already have some 'tricks in your bag' to make home care for your bedridden loved one so much easier for both of you.

The Caregiver Series

   If it’s wet or used to be wet—and it’s not yours, don’t touch it without gloves!

   During sustained declines, keeping your spirits up requires consistent effort on your part, in scheduling outings, proper coverage for your absence, and in calling in friends for visits during your meals.

   The mind believes what we tell it.

   Living our lives today does not dishonor those who no longer live here with us.

   It’s okay and proper for you to wash your face first thing in the morning…Unless you are waking up to a major problem that needs addressing, wash your face first.

   We must love, accept, and value ourselves first, to have a healthy love for someone else. That’s an ingredient so many caregivers forget in their desire to be totally available for their loved one, but water cannot be poured from an empty vessel.

   The time will come, however, when you will enjoy a beautiful day for what it is—a beautiful day with you in it. It will no longer be a beautiful day without your loved one, but just a beautiful day with you in it.

Toolkit for
Caregiver Emotions

So much of the therapeutic focus is on the patient, leaving caregivers to fend for themselves. This book represents the caregiver’s voice – recognizing their emotional and mental health needs – and provides the helping hand they need and deserve.
