Non Dairy Tomato Soup

Non Dairy Tomato Soup

I found a classic milk-based recipe and converted it to non dairy tomato soup. Tomato soup evolves such strong positive emotions from my childhood. Nothing says home more than grilled cheese and tomato soup. I'm pretty sure I lived on it growing up. Hmm, maybe that's why I'm gluten and dairy intolerant?! However, we did throw in a few grilled peanut butter sandwiches along the way. Do you have a favorite food or foods that bring back positive memories of home? Not only did I convert to dairy-free but also gluten and oil-free.  You never know when you healthily a recipe if it will convert as well. I…

Food Sensitivity Testing

Food Sensitivity Testing

Food sensitivity testing (also called food intolerance), is highly beneficial to uncover hidden conditions and symptoms. I have clients that end up with high sensitivity to what we consider highly healthy foods such as beets or blueberries. Of course, beets and blueberries may be good for 80% of people. However, if you are one of the 20%, then clearly it is not the right food for you and will do more harm than good. “The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.”― Ann Wigmore Is food sensitivity testing the same as food allergies testing? Exposure…

If you use essential oils in your home, you will love these essential oil diffuser blends! If you don't use essential oils, let me share what the hype is all about. In short, they have a ton of uses.

Natural Solutions to Psoriasis

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. Don't let anyone lead you to believe that medication is the only answer. What is Psoriasis? Psoriasis is identified by excessive cell replication. In affected areas, cells reproduce at 1000 times the normal rate, exceeding even the rate of skin cancer. Normal skin regenerates itself every 28 days. In psoriasis, this process occurs every 3 to 4 days. As the skin reproduces new cells at this rate, the the area becomes red and inflamed and can rise to three times its normal thickness.…

Strawberry Energy Bites Recipe

Strawberry Energy Bites Recipe

The hardest part for my clients is giving up sugar, sweets, and desserts. So I like to offer alternatives to dessert that contains cleaner ingredients. Most cakes, cookies, or any sweets contain either genetically engineered corn syrup or hydrogenated oils on top of high amounts of sugar. Strawberry energy bites are a wonderful healthy guilt-free treat you can feel good about putting in your body! Incorporating fruit or other plants is always the best choice with desserts. Strawberries contain a broad array of nutritional benefits. Strawberries are packed with vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and K, folate, potassium, manganese, and magnesium. They are low-calorie, fiber-rich, and abundant…

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…
