Body and metabolism “resets” have become a pretty hot topic. Now, there are a variety of ways to jump-start your metabolism, but intermittent fasting is one of the most effective. Here's how you can use intermittent fasting to help reset your body and your metabolism.

Research has shown that mindful eating is the healthiest way to eat; because you are putting thought into what you’re eating and how you are eating it, your eating habits, digestion, and overall health will benefit greatly.

Collagen supplements have become increasingly popular in the clean-eating movement, and for all the right reasons. Not only do they provide protein for soothing achy joints and nutrients for rejuvenating your skin, but they may also improve your gut health and boost your energy levels, as well.

Enter health crisis after my youngest was born…. The gift that came wrapped in really ugly wrapping paper. And a MAJOR wake-up call when it came to my overall wellbeing (and nutrition). EVERYTHING changed for me after that event. I had no choice.

….when I was fighting my way through COVID, two of my neighbor-friends were angels on earth and cooked nutritious, healing foods for me. These meals were loaded with fresh herbs, spices, and a variety of fresh veggies.

I learned a lot from these two women. You see as one grew up in Africa and the other in India. In their cultures, food, herbs, and spices are used as medicine. This is something I wholeheartedly believe in as well, but they were gung-ho on loading my body up with their first-choice medicinal goodies. I’d like to pass along 3 things that these beautiful women taught me.

….chronic S-T-R-E-S-S leads to a lot of problems – and one of the first things to be affected is your health. And guess what? Your physical health is not the only thing affected by stress…. Your emotional, mental, and spiritual health can all be touched too.

I’d like to give you 3 practical tips to managing stress that you can implement right away. There is so much more, but let’s just start with 3 to keep it simple (cause’ I’m alllll about simplicity!)

Anyone else deal with unpleasant “after effects” of eating? Yep. We love good food in this house. LOTS OF IT….But it doesn’t always love us back. Sometimes after eating even the healthiest foods, you can end up feeling bloated and gross. What’s the deal with that? Really? Must you really have to choose between eating the foods you love or living in yoga pants (unless you WANT too) so you’ve got the room to ‘expand’ after eating certain foods?

CBD oil ain’t just for anxiety. Nope. It’s good for SO. MUCH. MORE. Like helping to alleviate digestive issues.

If you want to lose weight fast, you need to have your hormones working for you, not against you. Today I want to share a few food choices, supplements, and practical ways to boost the performance of five key hormones so you can ramp up your fat loss and get rid of the not-so-sexy muffin top!

“Thanks, ‘Rona…..for giving me a muffin top and bigger butt.”

Yep, if it’s one thing that I've been hearing a LOT about lately is that women are getting bigger booties, more muffin top and puffier faces because they are eating, eating, and eating some more to help them handle the stress of COVID. Yet, overeating doesn't just have to come from this global health pandemic.

The first step towards making improvements to your daily eating habits aren't necessarily about taking things OUT of your diet. It's really more about adding in what's been missing.

When your hormones are all over the place, it can cause things like fatigue, weight gain/loss, insomnia, changes to your appetite, irregular periods,  anxiety, depression, low libido, digestive problems, and even hair loss….

Listen, I get it. We are in the middle of a freaking pandemic and for a lot of people, including MYSELF at times, the wheels have fallen off the wagon. 

If you, your family or friends still aren’t really sure what this virus actually IS, don’t worry, you’re not alone.

The question at large right now is this: how can you actually be at home (with kids there too), not spend the entire day throwing food down the pit (aka stuffing your face) and actually continue being a productive human being during the (pretty much) forced lockdown?

Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you more than likely know that there is a bug going around called “Coronavirus” (COVID-19). It’s scaring people and causing them to go ape $&^%, thus, putting Target completely out of hand soap and hand sanitizer….So how can you boost your immune system? The most important thing (after washing your hands) is filling your belly with immune-boosting foods…and then minimizing the ones that drag down your health (and your energy level). 

WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH PROBIOTICS AND YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM ANYWAY? According to scientists, the human gut has up to 100 trillion bacteria. Yes, you read that right. And those 100 trillion bacteria are vital to your health.
