Is Your Dream Dust in the Wind?

You created that goal to realize your dream. You signed that agreement and made a commitment. You were so excited (as my friend Chris says, “running around like your hair is on fire” excited) and then one day it died.  Kansas (the musical group, for the young people) said it best, "All my dreams pass before my eyes...like dust in the wind."

Health Issues from IBS I remember like it was yesterday waking in the middle of the night in extreme pain.   Many nights were spent lying on the bathroom floor in tears.  The dilemma was “not knowing which end was up” as my dad would say.  Would it be vomiting from the pain and constipation or would it be diarrhea?  The options were not good!  My life and career were impacted as I would schedule my travel dates around my menstrual cycle as I knew the symptoms would be most severe during these times. It seriously impacted my ability to function at home and at work. What is IBS? IBS…

The Plan Diet, Is it safe?

A B Renewed Wellness Solutions follower asks: Hello Bonnie. I am very concerned about a couple of my friends. They are in the third or fourth week of "the plan". It's a strict and perilous diet where you measure certain food items according to their reactions in the body by eliminating extracting certain foods to determine if for example its the potatoes or the pastas and or the bread that makes one gain weight and only organic foods are to be eaten.
