My Journey through a Toxic World: Part 1

by guest writer Angela StClair After Dr. Bonnie Schnautz ND suggested I read the New York Times article “The Lawyer Who Became DuPont’s Worst Nightmare,” I was appalled, saddened, and ready to spark an awareness that impacts positive change to our environment and our bodies! This lawyer committed 16 years of his life to expose a company’s use of the harmful chemical PFOA. The company, Dupont, knowingly used PFOA for over 5 decades, despite it making employees and community members sick. “Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), also known as C8, is another man-made chemical. PFOA has the potential to be more of a health concern because it can stay in…

Top 10 Ways to Kick Colds & Flu Forever

Colds, flu, and sinus infections have been a part of history for our family. For me, it has been over 15 years since I've experienced any of these unpleasant conditions.

Natural Solutions to Adrenal Fatigue

In 2013, a client came to me sharing that she had been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue.  I had worked with clients that had various health challenges but this was a new one. She was already eating clean and working with an Integrative MD so this was going to be a challenge. The only unique factor was her stress level was extremely high as she was experiencing extreme burnout in her career. To be honest, her symptoms were puzzling.  I kept trying to figure out exactly what it was she was feeling but I just couldn't connect to her symptoms. Usually my clean eating, resting and supporting the digestive process was the answer but in this…

Health Concerns with Genetically Engineered (or GMO) Foods

In the late 1990's I was diagnosed with a plethora of health issues, from allergies, asthma, Irritable Bowel Syndrome  (IBS), severe hormonal imbalances and depression plus ongoing bouts with flu, sinus infections, etc. Ironically in the 1990's, Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) or Genetically Engineered foods were introduced to the public. Genetic engineering (GE) is where scientists take genes from bacteria, viruses or other sources and inject them in the DNA of a plant. A plant that humans would consume. 80-90% of soy, corn, canola and sugar beets produced are GE and these are found in 75% of our food supply. Another concern in our food system is the level…

Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Salad

Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Salad

My son made this for me on Mother's Day which was a wonderful gift!
