If it wasn’t enough that Prop 37 (GMO labeling) failed in California, now Obama has signed the Monstanto Protection Act. I can now officially say that the government is NOT concerned with your health. Who cares if GMOs are linked to cancer, infertility, and gastrointestinal issues- there are profits to be made! If you haven’t already, [...]
I just made the most amazing veggie wrap ever! So good I had to blog about it! What’s in it: Hummus, shredded carrots, red bell peppers, sprouts, cucumbers, red onion, and avocado, with a lime dressing wrapped in a collard green. All organic of course. And everything is raw- except for the hummus. This wrap [...]
It’s been a little while… About 2 months to be exact! And although life went on for the 20 people who actually read this blog (haha!) it felt like an eternity for me! I had to fight the temptation to just write… about… anything… due to some sort of perceived pressure to keep you guys happy [...]
A few days ago I ate a slice of pizza in secret. Yes, I was totally parked on a dark street corner rubbing my hands together, relishing in what I was about to carry out. And it was a real slice of pizza. Cheesy, gluten-y… you know, the kind with a little pool of grease sitting [...]
Well… I am ecstatic to say that yesterday was the last day of my sugar fast! Yup. It ended on Thanksgiving. And yes, that means that I did not partake in any dessert. But, amazingly, I did not feel like I was missing out on anything! And really, this is what this whole fast thing [...]

I know this is a natural health blog, but with the elections just around the corner, I couldn’t help it! Plus, you’ll see, politics and health freedom go hand in hand. Health freedom refers to our freedom to use whatever medicinal products or interventions that we choose- whether they be natural, holistic treatments, or conventional treatments [...]
Each meal is an opportunity. An opportunity to fuel your body. Healthy food keeps us strong, energized and looking our best. Some of the best foods we can eat are known as superfoods. These include vegetables such as kale and broccoli. Nuts such as almonds and walnuts, fruits like strawberries and blueberries, and omega 3′s like salmon and [...]
I recently wrote a post about why modern wheat is so bad for us. So in case you are looking for alternatives to wheat, let me introduce you to spelt. Ok…yes. Technically, spelt is wheat. But it is a more nutritious, more easily digested form of wheat! Did you know that until about 1920, most of the [...]
GMOs are killing us. Do you care? GMO stands for genetically modified organism. Another name for GMO is GEO (genetically engineered organism). GM (genetically modified) food is also a common term.
