Your Body Temple or Garage

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…

Reasons to Consider Neurotransmitter Testing

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…
