Get that CRAP Outta You!

How often do you have a bowel movement (poop, take a dump, drop kids off at the pool, boo-boo, make a stinky)? Take a moment and think about it. Ask yourself how many times have you crapped this week? Okay, what about today?? Trust, I get it, talking about bowel movements often makes people squeamish […]

Oh, So You are Detoxing, Huh?

Yep, it’s that time of year. You know when everyone is ‘detoxing’ or talking about needing to detox. But what the heck is detoxing and what does it even mean? Honestly, years ago, I knew detoxing to be what happened when you wanted to break your addiction to drugs and / or alcohol; however, like […]

Oil Therapy

I love essential oils. Those who know me, realize this and those who look at my life (from the outside) can assume that and be correct. I use essential oils topically, mixing them with shea butter and various oils like coconut, macadamia, jojoba, almond, and others. In addition, I use Young Living’s Vitality line of […]

What is Your Body Saying?

An important component to health and wellness is the understanding that our body is not a compartmentalized structure. Every system, organ, vessel, bone, ligament, everything… works TOGETHER to make things happen. In western culture we are often taught to see our body parts as being separate and not interconnected in their functionality. For example: the […]

The Beauty of Being Unique

I am grateful that our Creator is not a manufacturer of duplicity, rather originality. It is great to know when putting thought into ALL of creation there were distinctions given to all things. No leaf or snowflake is ever the same, there are different spots on each leopard and the countless variations of the human […]

Let’s Talk Protein

It is interesting the amount of concern people have regarding protein consumption when it comes to plant-based eating. However, when someone is consuming ribs, fried chicken, burgers, pork chops, turkey legs, sausages, bacon… and so on there is little concern about high blood pressure, high cholesterol, constipation, heart disease, or cancer. And trust I know […]

Foundational Support

The foundation of any structure (or relationship) is important. In order to build something solid that can withstand adversity and hard times, the foundation MUST be sure. So when considering any lifestyle modification, we must do so with a foundation of solid information. I am very big on research and always in search of: who, […]

Nitro Boosted

Most often when I work out it is in the evenings, after a long day at work. I am often mentally drained and not interested in putting in additional work. However, I have goals. Life goals. And in order to attain those goals, I have to move this body. I am not into pre workouts […]

Vegan Awareness Month 2016

So today history was made, literally. Mayor Nancy McFarlane of Raleigh, North Carolina issued a Proclamation declaring October 2016 – Vegan Awareness Month. When I saw this I was super excited because there are so many misconceptions about being vegetarian, vegan, and / or plant-based. Prayerfully this will allow information to be disseminated that dispels […]

Food Matters

Listen, regardless of what you want to believe, what you ingest matters. What goes into your mouth affects how you think, how you feel, how you function, how you smell, even how you sleep. Although we have not been taught to think this way – food gives life or brings death. Take a moment and […]
