Are you looking for a delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Fudge without sugar? Here it is. The secret ingredient is the natural sugar in dates. This is super easy and won’t leave you with a sugar hangover. When buying nut butters, always look for brands that are organic and contain no additional oils or sugar. The only ingredients should be nuts and a small amount of salt. I love nuts so I added pecans or walnuts. The walnuts are a great source of omegas as well. For protein, I love the Chocolate Power Meal from BodyHealth as it’s clean, plant-based and full of amino acids. Ingredients1 cup all natural almond butter10 pitted dates1 scoop Chocolate…
Gluten is a compound protein that composes about 80% of the protein found in wheat, barley and rye.

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. Some of the benefits of less sick time include more quality time with my family, productive time in my business, hundreds of dollars saved in toxic over-the-counter and prescription medications and much less misery in general! Obviously there are no guarantees but these are things that have worked for me and many others have experienced the same success. I don't buy into the germ theory as I'm around sick people quite often. And, if this theory were true, then why…
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…
