Hangry by: Kelley Seriano

Like many of us, I also have a busy lifestyle, which I thrive in – go, go and go! Although I am thriving, I sometimes forget what I preach to my client base about nutrition. While traveling this week for work, I had the opportunity to feel some serious Hangry. Hangry can be defined as […]

The Neuroscience of Mindful Eating by: Cynthia Beard

One of the things we teach with Neurosculpting® is that we can incorporate other beneficial practices into our daily lives along with meditation.
