If you are what you eat, what are you today? Chocolate eggs, Peeps, something filled with peanut butter? Well don't fret it's ok to eat junk once in a while but if you want look and feel your best, sometimes it's the smallest choices that make the biggest differences. So ...

I can tell you this the liquid protein I take every night has made a huge difference in the shape of my body and that is without a huge fitness push. However if you are looking to really tone up, shape up and make a big impression on the beach we have the answers to the questions you've been asking.

We wake up..turn on the coffee and get our day started!  Imagine not having that morning kick, sad ain't it?  Well good news you don't have to quit because it helps you...what?  How?

I am sure the first thing that popped into your head after reading that headline was YES! Do you remember back in pre-school and kindergarten how nap time always seemed like such a drag? When you were little your Mom always wanted you to take a nap remember that? I think it is the ultimate sign of maturity to know that a nap is needed. I can tell you from my experience not only are naps needed but

If you wake up in the middle of I-10 with cars buzzing by you really fast you probably needed more sleep. If you're in the middle of that operation and your head falls into the incision, you probably need more sleep. If you're at your child's school play and you doze off, well you're probably just a parent doing the best you can do. Lack of sleep is a  major problem in America, here are some signs

For me it happens right around noon, that by the way is end of my work day. I start my morning at 1 am, get to the station about 2am and goof off here pretending to work until noon. Then my batteries just run out. I might try to take a nap but the fact is I still have most of my family day left before me. There are chores around the house, kids to pick up from school and a lot of phone calls and e

It's the classic Hollywood scene, the middle age man jumps up from his desk clutching his chest. He falls over as the paramedics rush to revive him. Heart attacks, for some reason we only seem to think of that being a man thing. The truth of the matter is, heart problems are just as big a deal for the ladies. We've found some new information we'd like to share on keeping your precious heart beatin

Before your next grocery visit make sure to take a look at this list..it contains: veggies, fruits, and other produce (you may think are helping and healthy, but check again!)  I never would have thought any of these could be bad for me!

Look into your eyes frequently.  No I'm not making fun of the fact that it's Valentine's Day and you've been staring at into your "loves" eyes!  I mean really look into your eyes, they will tell you things about your health you didn't know!

You might be listening to Tracy Wirtz on 97.3 The Dawg this afternoon wondering, "hmm I know I have heard that voice somewhere else". Well you not only hear that voice but you see her face on KATC TV 3's Good Morning Acadiana weekday mornings from 4:30 to 7:00 everyday. One of the features that Tracy is known for is her "You Gotta Move" series that you can see every Wednesday o

Your eyes are watering, your nose is stuffy, you just don't feel that great, must be springtime with all the pollen in the air! Nope, it's the dead of Winter and if you are like me and suffer allergies this actually is our prime time  to feel at our worst.

This is the month that a lot of us turn our attention to our hearts. With Valentines Day fast approaching it is easy to see why February was chosen to celebrate that mass of muscle that keeps us pumping every minute of every day. If you have seen Tracy's "Gotta Move" segments on KATC TV 3, you may have noticed that "Gotta Move has Gone Red" ! Heart disease is responsible for fa

So many diets consist of ( No carbs) ..Well I am taking a Dietetics class at UL and guess what, no carbs may make you lose weight quick, but it's not good for you!  You need carbs for energy, according to my teacher.  So what are the good kinda carbs?

You probably heard that Starbucks is now offering a new bigger size of coffee that's got an even stranger name. I think they call it the "Trenta". Which I think is Italian for "Half Gallon". I love coffee, heck I wake up at one in the morning, I know coffee, I don't give blood, I slow drip it through a filter. You get the point. But when is it too much for the system? Well let'

You've probably noticed that when Tracy Wirtz is on Good Morning Acadiana every weekday morning at 4:30 she always looks stunning. But would she go to the Wal-Mart without her makeup on? Would you run out to the Shop Rite at 11pm for a gallon of milk without your makeup? This is what Tracy is talking about on 97.3 The Dawg this afternoon.

Relationships, commitments, love, understanding, tenderness and who gets to use the remote control,those are all big issues when it comes to having a loving relationship that lasts. Ladies you probably don't think men see anything other than your lovely physical attributes and you'd be right (no reason for me to lie about it). But we are also looking for more than soft round curves, luscious pouti

Just feeling blah, down in the dumps, got the blues, we all know what that means. It means we aren't feeling our best. How do you know when your just having a bad day or if it is a sign of something more serious? I think we all have a little let down after the holiday season but if you are having trouble breaking out of that "funk", I hope you will take a few minutes to consider the advi

It seems like every year we hear of some amazing new food, juice or fruit that our ancient ancestors ate to stay healthy in a more unforgiving time. Well it won't be too much longer until you will see Dr. Oz and Oprah gloating over this amazing grain of the Ancient Inca's. Is it really all that? Is it really all that money that it's going to cost you to try it?
