Natural Solutions to Adrenal Fatigue

In 2013, a client came to me sharing that she had been diagnosed with adrenal fatigue.  I had worked with clients that had various health challenges but this was a new one. She was already eating clean and working with an Integrative MD so this was going to be a challenge. The only unique factor was her stress level was extremely high as she was experiencing extreme burnout in her career. To be honest, her symptoms were puzzling.  I kept trying to figure out exactly what it was she was feeling but I just couldn't connect to her symptoms. Usually my clean eating, resting and supporting the digestive process was the answer but in this…

No Sodium Taco Seasoning

No Sodium Taco Seasoning Finding no sodium taco seasoning in the store is almost impossible. So I decided to start making my own that contains real ingredients only.  Also, you'll know that this seasoning does NOT contain preservatives and unsafe additives, dairy or whey that the store-bought packets often do. This is an ingredient list and nutritional facts of a conventional taco seasoning packet. The sodium is 16% (yikes) plus whey (What the label doesn't tell you: hormones, antibiotics, GMOs, glyphosate) and potato starch (more GMOs and glyphosate). The levels are only assuming you eat two tacos. Each time you make a healthier choice, you are protecting your…

Busyness is Based in Fear

I recently listened to an audio (How Did I Get So Busy) by Valorie Burton that really moved me. It was an aha moment learning that busyness is based in fear. My goal this year is, believe it or not, to do LESS.  Don't get me wrong, I want to help more people but want to find ways of reaching more without overextending myself in the process.  I have come to the conclusion that if I don't practice self-care, I will not be able to serve those who need it most. Busyness is often based on fear.  I heard the words but never really equated busyness with fear.…
