Let Food Be Your Medicine!

There’s a saying that goes … “Let Food Be Your Medicine!” Does that mean you shouldn’t ever take a medication again?  Absolutely not.  But know that incorporating whole, real food into your diet will help with an illness or medical condition that you currently have.   You will begin to feed your body with those […]

What Category Does Your Food Fall Into … safe or poison?

I cannot shout this statement from the roof top enough! We, as a Nation, have fallen into the trap of purchasing toxic food that bring on dis-ease and then we are made to believe toxic medication will bring healing or protection to our body. Have you bought into the fear? Fear was so instilled in […]

Sweeteners in Our Food!

As I move along on giving you strategies for building a strong and robust immune system, I would be neglect if I didn’t talk about sweeteners.  It’s a hard subject because sweeteners are such a main staple to our diet and a “sweet one” at that.  But a diet high in sugar is damaging to […]

Keep All Your Medical Information in One Place

A few years ago, from 2012 – 2019, my sister and I were our parents Power of Attorney (POA) and Medical Representatives.  This meant we were to help navigate their finances and medical care.  Both my parents had several medical issues and were either in the ER or a Doctor’s office often.  When they would […]

Supporting Your Immune System with Herbs!

I don’t know about you, but I try to avoid putting any chemicals in my body as much as possible or at least intentionally.  I wanted to share with you the history of how we moved from natural healing and Naturopathic Doctors to a “pill for an ill” and Traditional Doctors but I cannot locate […]

Understanding Your Immune System

I am continuing my discussion on building a strong Immune system and I’d like to take some time to explain what our Immune system is and how it works. Think of your Immune system as the “police” of your body.  It is there to protect you from any invader that might be trying to take […]

“The pathogen is nothing, the terrain is everything!”

Recently I saw an interview with Alfie Oakes from a grocery store/restaurant/bar called Seed to Table in Naples, Florida.  It was a powerful interview, and I was so pleased to see that there are businesses promoting and selling food that nourishes people.  It was refreshing to listen to this gentleman talking about how serious he […]

Carbs or no Carbs?

Do you love carbs … like bread, crackers, rice, potatoes, and fruit … yes even fruit?  I have to say my weakness would be crackers.  I LOVE cheese and crackers for sure.  Fruit also is one of my staple foods especially in the summer when I can get organic blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries and […]

Clean, Simple, Real Food!

My son has been telling me to go to a new Grocery Store that opened around the corner from his girlfriend’s home for months now.  I do my shopping at Whole Foods and online because I found when I used to try to shop at traditional grocery stores, I always had to go to Whole […]

A Definition of Medicine … a different perspective

We’ve grown up to believe that medicine is that pill or liquid you take for a specific illness.  On many levels that is true but how about if we take a broader perspective on what the definition of medicine means. I love this definition: “Medicine is about the way you live your life.” Dr. Judith […]
