Baby Steps….
Let me preface this post by saying that I am not neurotic about the way I eat, but I am conscious about what I put in and on my body. There are people who have questioned my happiness due to my food choices – they think I am miserable because I am so restrictive. In…

Water…the Natural Healer?
What if I told you that there was an all natural way to prevent or cure various ailments or disease? And what if I told you it was free? I’m talking about water! Did you know that 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated? Really?! All those aches, pains, lack of energy…it all points to dehydration. …

Do NOT look for the white check mark
I stumbled upon a recent General Mills commercial the other day and never realized just how misleading they were. They claim to deliver vitamins, minerals, whole grains, and calcium…part of their logo now shows a large white check mark to indicate that it contains ‘whole grains.’ Their ads show kids wearing medals and flexing their…

You Are What You Eat
I just watched the documentary, Food Matters, on Netflix…it’s been on our instant queue for a long time, but got lost in the mix of 130 other videos. I’ve seen a number of documentaries over the past few years that stress the importance of a healthy diet – all very good, but I didn’t really…

I’ve heard throughout the years…

I am NOT a hypochondriac!
Do you remember the Seinfeld episode when Elaine thinks she has rabies? “Oh oh, listen to this, this is not good, listen to these symptoms for rabies: anxiety, irritability. I got those, I’m irritable!” Just by reading the symptoms, she starts to believe it’s describing her…trouble swallowing, headache, etc. I remember when I was going…

A great combination…
As I mentioned earlier, I suffered from numerous painful health issues…but thanks to some amazing superfoods, the pain has vanished. The two biggest contributors to my recovery are Shilajit and MSM. Shilajit is a herb used in the Indian system of medicine (Ayurveda) and contains at least 85 minerals in ionic form, as well as…

Pain free and loving it!
So I’ve come to find that knowledge really is power and one should never stop learning new things…especially if it could lead to a better you. I, in no way, claim to be a nutritionist, or an expert on being healthy, but over the past few months I have overcome numerous health issues…some that I…
