Black Bean Mango Quinoa Salad

Black bean mango quinoa salad is my go-to for lunch. Why do I love this, let me count the ways...mangos, avocado, cilantro, etc are a few reasons! Because quinoa is a complete protein, you can serve it as your main meal. There are so many health and environmental benefits to eating quinoa. I love incorporating quinoa dishes into my week as it digests easily which keeps me feeling energized. It's a great Meatless Monday (or Tuesday, Wednesday, etc) option to make the transition to eating less meat. As always, purchase organic in everything when possible. Approximately 90% of everything we purchase is organic or grown naturally. It's how…

Who is Sabotaging Your Happiness

Have you considered who is sabotaging your happiness? Or who is preventing you from your ability to find joy and peace or think positively? Some of you would argue that you feel you are a happy person. However, I’m learning that after digging in deeper, people are shocked to find out that they truly aren’t living a life of joy. They are being tricked into thinking they are by those who want them to believe it’s for their good to be skeptical, cynical, or judgmental. Many of us may blame the government, the economy, world leaders, schools, spouses, etc. I agree they are making life a bit more…

Day 3 of My Detox

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…

Reasons to Consider Neurotransmitter Testing

Reasons to consider neurotransmitter testing. Not sure if you should invest in this type of health testing? I've been helping women for years and I've honestly found few women who wouldn't benefit. But, I'll let you decide. Did you know 85% of our health issues are related to our emotional health? Most practitioners don't even consider this when putting together a plan for rebalancing the body. When we work holistically, we always consider the three key areas of stress in order which are Emotional, Nutritional/Chemical, and Physical. Our goal is to reduce the stressors we can on our bodies in these areas. If you are feeling the effects…

Hip Issues in Bulldogs

Hip Issues in Bulldogs Hip issues in bulldogs are more common than people know. Medium to large breed dogs such as bulldogs can be prone to hip dysplasia, where the socket portion does not fully cover the ball portion. As a result, the joint degenerates, causing the dog pain and making it difficult to walk. Watching our beloved fur baby struggle with hip and joint issues was so difficult. What Causes Hip Dysplasia in Dogs? Hip dysplasia is a genetic disorder, so genetics is a key factor to consider when adopting a breed. Large breeds are more likely to suffer from hip dysplasia. Breeds such as Great Danes,…

We Need More Empathy

We need more empathy. Many have thoughts and beliefs around what’s right, following the "appropriate" protocol, and what’s not right during this season of what is being called a pandemic. Everyone has an opinion which we are all entitled to. Sadly, during this time we are getting mixed messages from the “experts” and/or media.  So obviously no one really knows the truth or at least those who have a voice in the media may not be our best resources. Unfortunately, we have many that are experts in the field that don’t have a voice or are censored when they attempt to voice it. We hear that any mask…

Adrenal Fatigue: How Does it Develop

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…
