I don’t know about you, but I get tired of feeling like I’m harping about health, health, health. And much of the time people either look at me like a deer in the headlights, completely deny what I’m saying, or just don’t acknowledge what I have to say. So, rather than another blog that [...]
I’ve been spending a lot of time with this topic lately. In my own health journey, it has played such a big role and it isn’t being talked about a lot. I mean we talk about stress and how it contributes but none of us women really stop long enough to pay attention. Let’s talk the Type [...]
I know you feel crappy. That’s a nicer word isn’t it. You probably feel some days like your life is gone and you will never find it again. It feels dire and you have no energy or even willpower to try to make it better anymore. What could there possibly be to feel thankful for? Even in [...]

Hi there. I think I have exhausted sleep even though we haven’t quite completed the month. I wanted to spend some time talking about Chronic Infections. I have referred to chronic infections as a trigger for autoimmune. Usually when I talk about chronic infections I am speaking about [...]
To start, I know this picture doesn’t have anything at all to do with digestion in the body but this was the first picture that popped up when I typed “Digestion” into the search bar so I’m going with it. It is necessary for food to be broken down into nutrients. The body uses those [...]
I have spent the last couple of blogs talking about digestive issues, how to eat to improve them. Specifically, the Paleo diet and what that is but I haven’t talked about why Paleo. Paleo is an ancestral diet. Our ancestors evolved on a Paleo diet. Our bodies developed over time eating [...]
