Did you know that around half of your body is made up of microbes? In fact, there are over 100 trillion of them living on or inside you – and collectively, they may weigh as much as five pounds! Every individual has a unique microbial composition – like a fingerprint – that communicates with the rest of the cells in the body. Research has shown that these single-celled residents are linked to almost every chronic disease and condition – as well as... Read More

Edit Your Routine Using Natural Solutions

Between all the things we do, and the sources we aren't aware of, we are exposed to toxins daily. Every breath, every bite we take, every minute we stand under the sun, and every chemical (natural or synthetic) that we come in contact with while cleaning our homes exposes us to substances that can negatively impact our health. While other countries have taken action to protect their citizens from chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm, the Food and Drug Administration... Read More

Aromas of the Season

I love the aromas of the holidays as it filled with so many fond memories. Did you know that your sense of smell can transport you back in time? I'm going to get a little nerdy here to explain how our bodies process these aromas into memories. When we come into contact with an aroma, or molecules from volatile substances wafting through the air, the neurons in our olfactory receptor cells send a single to the part of our brain called the olfactory bulb. The olfactory... Read More

Being Grateful & Appreciative

Being Grateful Appreciative Have you ever noticed when we are in a joyful or grateful state of mind, that everything seems to roll off our shoulders? When life becomes too much, I remind myself to look around and listen. I ask myself, "What do I see?", "What do I smell?, What do I hear?
