No Sodium Taco Seasoning

No Sodium Taco Seasoning

No Sodium Taco Seasoning Finding no sodium taco seasoning in the store is almost impossible. So I decided to start making my own that contains real ingredients only.  Also, you'll know that this seasoning does NOT contain preservatives and unsafe additives, dairy or whey that the store-bought packets often do. This is an ingredient list and nutritional facts of a conventional taco seasoning packet. The sodium is 16% (yikes) plus whey (What the label doesn't tell you: hormones, antibiotics, GMOs, glyphosate) and potato starch (more GMOs and glyphosate). The levels are only assuming you eat two tacos. Each time you make a healthier choice, you are protecting your…

A Remedy for Clarity and a Decisive Confident Mind

A Remedy for Clarity and a Decisive Confident Mind Fact:  Your body’s physical health is interconnected and cannot be separated from your body’s mental health. One affects the other. A large portion of my CNHP training last week focused on the emotional aspect of healing which I found absolutely fascinating.  I learned about energy and frequency and specifically about Bach Flower Remedies.  Our class was able to create our own remedy that addressed our personal emotional challenges. ( Making the remedies took me back to my days as a lab technician working for Bristol-Myers Squibb.)  It was so much fun and empowering to learn additional ways to take charge of…

Pinch me, I’m dreaming.

Pinch me, I’m dreaming. It is only Day 2 of 8 of my CNHP (Certified Natural Health Professional) training and I’m beyond words with what I have experienced. I can’t decide which is more incredible, the training or the people I've met. And yes, I’m already getting so attached to these people in two days. But, when you are spending 8-12 hours a day, it’s hard not to. My roommate has already dubbed me the “social bee” which she tells me she greatly admires. She says in her sweet Hispanic voice that, “she is working on it” (becoming more social). I have met so many beautiful people like…
