The Secret to health and Longevity!

What does it take to live a healthy life until the age of 122?The secret is in your mind and thoughts! I work everyday with all sorts and ages of clients. Clients come to me, to help them get and live pain-free. I love working with my clients and a big part of what I teach them is that they already have everything they need to live pain free. It is up to all of us to do what makes us happy, find joy in everyday life and live in the moment. Eat and drink what makes us happy. The person that eats the hot dog and beer and relishes it- is better off than the person who is eating boiled fish and steamed vegetables and hating every bite! In the words of the late Jeanne Calment " if you can't do anything about it, then why worry about it!"Did I mention that she smoked everyday.

Promoting a Movement Based Life

Promoting a Movement Based Life You have heard it before; sitting is not good for you! We all know sitting is not good for us but most of us spend our days sitting for most of our day. As clients of Functionetiks you all have a designated time each day that you work on your function. Your individualized menu. This is amazing and makes everything you do for the rest of the day a bit more functional. How functional can you be if you spend the majority of the day sitting? It wasn't long ago in our history of humans that our survival was determined by our ability to move. As humans we are designed to move; we can walk, run, jump, climb, carry heavy objects etc... In the past we did not have to think about it movement was built into our day. Today our modern life dictates that we sit. So I challenge you to change that, think of ways to increase movement throughout the day. Stand up when you are working on your computer (stand on both feet with weight equal) Sit down on t...

Vegan Lasagna

Vegan Lasagna This is my go to recipe for Lasagna, it is gluten free, dairy free, and meat free. Since it is summertime I made a fresh low cook tomato sauce, in colder months I would extend the cooking time of this sauce to yield a depth of flavor. For a warm summer night this was delicious. First I sautéed the mushrooms onions and garlic - then I add tomato paste and canned tomatoes. I love these tomatoes I find them at Whole Foods. While the sauce cooks a bit I sauté grated zucchini and frozen chopped spinach until there is no moisture left. To make the creamy filling we crumble organic firm tofu, vegan cheese,onion powder, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, chopped fresh italian parsley,salt and pepper and flax meal eggs. Assembly is next with sauce on bottom of pan, followed with uncooked noodles, cheese mixture, veggies, sauce and repeat. I didn't precook the noodles and it turned out just fine. We did not get a picture of the final product, th...
