Although adrenal fatigue represents a physical energy breakdown, it can be brought on by any kind of stress - physical or emotional. Many types of stress, if severe enough or of long enough duration, can result in adrenal fatigue. Essentially, stress depletes vital nutrients faster than they can be replaced by your normal dietary intake. You will need two to three times the amounts of nutrients. As the body's nutrient reserves become depleted, the energy producing glands, the thyroid and adrenal glands, are unable to function normally (maintain homeostasis) and symptoms begin to appear, or present symptoms are magnified. An inadequate diet and excess processed foods, can hasten…

Acai Superfood Bowl Most mornings I drink a green smoothie. However, sometimes I want a change so I switch it up with either an acai bowl or overnight oats. Remember that these ingredients can be changed up based on seasonal availability so get creative. I also vary my omegas foods from chia, flax, hemp or whatever form I have available. Eating a variety of foods is key as it gives you a wide spectrum of nutrients plus eliminates food intolerances. Enjoy and be healthy. As always, purchase all ingredients local and/or organic. I use the One Degree Organic Foods gluten-free oats as they go the extra mile and…

Help Concept Hands reaching out to help each other with light flare

There are a hundred ways to learn to swim and one very easy way to drown, and that is by being unwilling to admit you’re drowning in the first place. I love this quote by Rachel Hollis from her book, Girl Stop Apologizing. This specific chapter is about women asking for help or the lack of asking for help. So I started reflecting on all the help I’ve had in my business throughout the years. I’ve had numerous people comment on how much I have accomplished in life and business but until this moment did not correlate these accomplishments to the help that I have received. I know…

As I was cleaning out cabinets, I decided to glance over the ingredient list of some hair care products that I used to use. To be honest, it scared me. I used to put these on my body and didn't think about the impact to my skin, lungs or other vital organs! Think about the personal care products that you and your family use on a daily basis...lotions, shampoo, conditioner, soap, sanitizer, nail polish, baby soaps, make up, perfumes/colognes, deodorant, toothpaste, laundry detergent. EWG.org (Environmental Working Group) concluded in a study that on average people use 9 personal care products daily and applied an average of 126 unique…

After completing a food intolerance test, I learned I was intolerant to all sugars (honey, agave, etc) and dairy so I needed to find substitutes. My goal was to go sugar free for 4-6 months and at about month three, I wanted cookies! I found a recipe, made a few modifications and finally came up with this! Like pure stevia sweetener, the monk fruit sweetener is highly concentrated so a little goes a long way. The key is using pure monk fruit to elminate fillers. My favorite is pure organic monk fruit sweetener from Julian Bakery. Ingredients: 1 cup of Almond Flour 1/2 tsp Organic Pure Monk Fruit…

Did you know that according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC ), swimming is the fourth most popular recreational activity for all ages in the United States? For kids ages 7-17, it is the most popular. However, do we ever consider how clean the water is that we swim in? How polluted are our oceans, lakes and rivers? As we talk about all the chemicals that we come in contact with every day from cleaning products to personal hygiene, it started me thinking about the water in which we swim. What about chlorine in pools? According to the CDC, 1 in 8 routine pool inspections…

Taking Life for Granted

My husband and I recently enjoyed our annual vacation at the Omni Hilton Head Resort. It didn't take long to realize how we are taking life for granted. A few inconveniences happened during our trip, which left me a bit frustrated, and truly perturbed (this had nothing to do with the hotel or service because the staff is amazing). It was no sooner than this happened that God created an opportunity to help me put life into perspective. I was exiting our room and saw our room attendant. She saw me take our dog out and asked if she could clean now. I said yes please, as our…
