Benefits of Food Rotation When exploring the benefits of food rotation, let's review the number one reason why which is to reduce chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is a prolonged and persistent inflammatory response in the body. It can be caused by a variety of factors such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, smoking, stress, and certain medical conditions. When inflammation becomes chronic, it can contribute to the development of serious health problems, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. The term "silent killer" is used because chronic inflammation can progress silently within the body for years, damaging tissues and organs…

Food sensitivity testing (also called food intolerance), is highly beneficial to uncover hidden conditions and symptoms. I have clients that end up with high sensitivity to what we consider highly healthy foods such as beets or blueberries. Of course, beets and blueberries may be good for 80% of people. However, if you are one of the 20%, then clearly it is not the right food for you and will do more harm than good. “The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.”― Ann Wigmore Is food sensitivity testing the same as food allergies testing? Exposure…

If you are searching for natural solutions to psoriasis, there is hope. I've seen dramatic improvements with clients by incorporating dietary changes and enzyme therapy. Don't let anyone lead you to believe that medication is the only answer. What is Psoriasis? Psoriasis is identified by excessive cell replication. In affected areas, cells reproduce at 1000 times the normal rate, exceeding even the rate of skin cancer. Normal skin regenerates itself every 28 days. In psoriasis, this process occurs every 3 to 4 days. As the skin reproduces new cells at this rate, the the area becomes red and inflamed and can rise to three times its normal thickness.…

Understanding the 24 Hour Urinalysis is key to balancing the body and reducing stress from tissues and organs. The key insight is determining optimal digestion. I work primarily with women who typically want to balance their hormones and lose weight. The number one insight to understanding their health is that it is extremely difficult to balance the hormones until we balance the gut. Truly, balancing the gut is the first step before working towards rebalancing the body from any health condition. The 24-hour urinalysis collection provides information on what a person can absorb, assimilate and digest as well as nutrient deficiencies. The test is prognostic, not diagnostic. These…

Day 3 of my detox has been another new experience. The headaches have subsided, except for one very brief one. However, my tongue was heavily coated and white. It was quite disgusting and now I wish I had taken a photo of it. The hunger wasn't a problem at all but, I was sick of drinking the same thing. I realized I'm such a variety girl. I don't do well eating or drinking the same foods over and over. I love all juices but was losing my desire for these quickly. I made it through each of them deciding to pass on the final Mean Green juice. I…

The dangers of MSG. Some people think MSG or Monosodium glutamate is a preservative or that it contains a nutritional value. MSG is used in the food industry as a flavor enhancer. If you have to enhance the flavor of something, maybe ask yourself why would they need to enhance it. Maybe it's not real food. Real food shouldn’t need much enhancement. In fact, chemically MSG is an "excitotoxin" or neurotoxin that has a negative impact on the brain and nervous system. Some of you may remember we learned that "according to Neurosurgeon, Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D. these have been labeled excitotoxins because they over stimulate neural (brain) cells…

How Deodorants Cause Disease? It sounded a bit crazy to me as well when I first learned this. Did you know that where we place deodorant there are over 20+ lymph nodes? WHY is this a concern? What is the Lymph Node's purpose: Lymph nodes filter substances that travel through the lymphatic fluid, and they contain lymphocytes (white blood cells) that help the body fight infection and disease. Axillary lymph nodes are commonly involved in breast cancer because of their proximity to breast tissue. The body's cells and tissues dispose of waste products in lymphatic fluid, which lymph nodes then filter. During this process, they catch bacteria and…
