Studies have shown that poor gut health can contribute to inflammation, which in turn can exacerbate joint pain and conditions such as arthritis. As our understanding of overall health deepens, the intricate relationship between gut health and joint pain has become a prominent area of interest.

Understanding Enzymes and Probiotics

Your Body Temple or Garage

Your Body Temple or Garage Is your body a temple or garage? Stop what you’re doing and ask yourself, “Am I treating my body like a temple?

Black Bean Lentil Tacos

Black Bean Lentil Tacos

Black bean lentil tacos are a high-fiber meatless alternative to traditional tacos. They are also more economical and quicker to prepare than meat tacos. I wanted to share my favorite brand of gluten-free wraps. They are Siete brand and found in the refrigerated section of your healthier grocery store. They also have chickpea and almond flour versions. Or instead of using gluten-free wraps, I love this on a bed of greens, organic of course. It can always be served over organic rice or quinoa as a taco bowl.  Speaking of, like always, use organic ingredients to lower your toxic load. Being primarily dairy-free is important to me as…

What’s destroying your gut health is a popular question. So many people now realize that gut health is foundational to our overall health. It’s even been called our second brain!

Natural Solutions to Psoriasis

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.
