My 3-day Cleanse Journey

It's day one of my 3-day cleanse which started with a 2.5-mile walk on July 4th. What a perfect day to celebrate freedom from toxins! Instead of focusing on what I won't be eating, I'm focusing on the benefits such as mental clarity, focus, and increased energy.

My Dog Drinks Green Smoothies (or My dog eats better than most people)

My Dog Drinks Green Smoothies (or My dog eats better than most people) If you haven’t met Beau you would love him.    He is our 10 year old boxer.   Many of my friends and clients have because he works with me daily. Beau was diagnosed with cancer (mast cell tumor successfully removed) about 5 years ago and since then, we’ve changed his diet drastically.  He has a clean bill of health now! We were feeding him the vet recommended food which when reading the ingredients I realized wasn’t all that healthy (cereal based not protein). So Beau started his wellness journey. He now drinks about ½-1…
