We live in a society of information overload, at a time when everyone seems to have a strong opinion about what is the healthiest, most nourishing diet. I’ve shared before about how confusing it can be to figure out what we’re supposed to eat. But the truth is, it’s pretty simple. By using whole foods...
Did you know that the d-limonene constituent found in many citrus fruits has an acid neutralizing quality? I know it seems counter-intuitive that fruits like lemon and lime can actually offer relief from stomach upset, but it’s completely true! And it’s one of the reasons why I never leave home without a few packets of...
GMOs are a topic for which I am very passionate. I believe we have a right to know what’s in our food so we can make informed decisions for our families. I realize this may be a divisive topic, but my goal is simply to bring more awareness about the potential health concerns of GMOs. ...
