Our bodies are powered by sugar (but it doesn’t have to come from the white stuff!!) Our cells use sugar for energy (they also use fat- but that's another conversation). So on some level we need sugar but we need the proper balance of water, salt, nutrients and unrefined sugar, and therefore when we have an imbalance it can cause serious biological problems which we are currently seeing such as diabetes 2, insulin resistance and metabolic syndromes.  Our brains are hard-wired to crave sugar but

To drop weight and fat we need to see what's up with our metabolism, and unfortunately many of us are wrecking it by trying to lose weight quickly and eating foods that are harming it.  Here are 3 mistakes we may be making and some tips to set us up for success. Mistake #1 - Focusing on Calories instead of Hormones The calorie model is outdated but still so many peeps are counting calories.

I went to a talk about 4 years ago about health and at the end of the talk, the nutritionist mentioned Juice Plus+ and how amazing these non-gmo plant concentrates were. I scoffed at the idea because I was juicing and making green smoothies and seriously, why would I add these to my diet when I was eating fruits and veggies. As I drove home, her words started to sink in  packed with antioxidants from real whole food  30 types of fruits & vegetables each and every day  all natural ingredients

Let's turn you into a fat burning machine. It won’t happen overnight but it will happen when you follow these tips and have patience. Your body can burn either sugar or fat for fuel. Most of us have weeks’ worth and maybe even months’ worth of fat stored to burn as fuel, but nearly all of us have only about 12 hours of sugar to burn.  You can lose weight without shrinking your fat cells - this is so common and won't get you long term results.​ ​​ After that 12-hour window, your glycogen stores

For years I went in and out of taking fish oil but it just never sat right with me. Whether is was the fishy after burbs or knowing that our fish population is in dire needs (or pumped up on plastics – read more here , I just stopped and waited for a better alternative. I knew we always needed Omega 3’s because our bodies DO NOT produce them, but what I’ve also learned is that we need a balance of omegas which is not present in a fish oil!!

I’ve been chatting about GMO’s in my classes for about 9 years. I’ve been ridiculed for oil pulling as a way to naturally whiten my teeth. I’ve

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” -Hippocrates, father of medicine, 431 B.C.

I get asked about cancer quite frequently.  I have clients, friends and family members who have it, had it or want to prevent it.   I had precancerous cells removed from my cervix in my 20's. I remember that they NEVER asked about my lifestyle choices or even
