Your Thoughts About Healthy Foods
Quick–when you think of “healthy food,” what comes to mind? Is it flavorless, gummy, chemical-tasting, oddly crunchy, with basically no appeal to anyone?

If you think you can’t change the way you eat (Part 1)

Seven things I’ve learned about how to change for good (Part 1)
Back when I struggled with candida symptoms that ravaged my skin, my sinuses and my digestive tract, I ignored it all at first.

There were […]

Living with Less
With limited access to stores, restaurants, entertainment and basically all of the usual amenities we are used to “normal” times, it can be frustrating to feel limited in what you can do or buy, and whom you can see in your day-to-day life. I’ve heard from so many people that they are feeling stressed and […]
Easing into the “New Normal,” Part 2
When you think about our “new normal” at the moment (during the COVID-19 pandemic), what does your daily life feel like to you? Is it very different from your life before “sheltering at home”?
