B Renewed is Turning a Vision into a Reality, One Step at a Time.

When I began B Renewed Wellness Solutions, it was a calling from God to take a leap of faith and share what I learned from my own experience about nutrition and natural healing. As I have followed that path, my success has grown from an office in my home to my next adventure, opening the B Renewed Wellness Center in Evansville, Indiana. Locating the B Renewed Wellness Center in a professional building allows me to expand my practice and offer more services to our community. Over the past 30 days we have made great progress, and I have learned to appreciate the challenges a contractor, like my friend…

How to Eat Healthy While Traveling

A big challenge for everyone is eating healthy while traveling and since the holidays are upon us, I thought it would be a perfect time to share some of my tips.  For most of us, the holiday season comes with a mixture of emotions, both negative and positive.  It's a stressful time of year: holiday traffic, over-crowded stores, last minute shopping, family drama... people fall back into old habits. You might think "there are no healthy options available", "not enough time", or "my emotions got the best of me", but these are all excuses and not the truth.  Well, I have good news!  With my three simple rules…

Health Issues From Eating Genetically Modified Foods

Opt Out of the Genetic Engineering Experiment! If you have not educated yourself on understanding genetically modified foods, then you should start now and keep reading. The first question is what is a genetically modified food? Monsanto takes DNA strands from insects and insert this DNA into food crops to make them more resistant to pests. GMO corn, for example, is designed to explode the stomachs of insects when they eat it. When we eat the GMO plant, or the flesh, milk or eggs from those animals that did, we bring that mutated insect DNA into our bodies. Who could think that this same effect wouldn’t impact the cells in…

Saying Goodbye to the Smalec Family Farm

Saying goodbye is never easy, whether it is a person, place or thing.  This week, it was a place that I said goodbye to; the forty acre farm we owned for over sixty years (since 1952) located in Elsie, Michigan. Across the forty acres included our three-bedroom, one bathroom farm house that held all eight of us. We also had a barn, garage and a chicken coop.  At one time we raised chickens, pigs, cows, rabbits, cats, dogs and even a pet raccoon. Our chickens were the original free-range, long before it was chic to eat organic.  Free-range back then meant dodging chicken poop in the back yard,…

Six Signs That The Body Needs Enzymes

Before we look at the six signs of needing enzymes, we should review exactly what enzymes are. What are Enzymes? The three types of enzymes include those made in the body, those found in raw food, and metabolic enzymes responsible for all biochemical reactions in the body. Enzymes are protein substances produced by living cells.  Besides performing all of the biochemical reactions in your body, they also digest food and allow a healthy inflammatory response. Healthy inflammation is a normal function that allows the body to protect itself from foreign invaders and repair injured tissue. Food enzymes are found in all living substances, including raw foods.  However, most…

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." My first question is, why did this happen? Why did the dream fade?  You pictured yourself finally out-of-debt, in the convertible sports car or on the beaches of a remote island, and the dream suddenly became dust in the wind. Well, “why” is the question, but…
