The Progression of disease – Beginning to End (Autoimmune and Cancer)

atherosclerosis

To begin discussing how disease starts, we need to think back to the very beginning… the moment of our conception. We are all given a set of genes passed down from our grandparents to our parents and then to us. Genes represent molecular blueprints necessary in manufacturing the complex proteins that provide for the cell’s structure and function. Defects in genes (aka mutations) may greatly impair the quality of one’s life. Continue reading “The Progression of disease – Beginning to End (Autoimmune and Cancer)”

CANDIDA & KETO FRIENDLY CHOCOLATE MINT SMOOTHIE

KETO Chocolate Mint Smoothie

Smoothies are one of the best ways, in my opinion, to get LOADS of nutrients at one time while being gentle on your digestive system. Smoothies are pre-broken down (aka pre-chewed) and therefor require very little effort on our digestive system to break them down and absorb all the amazing nutrients in them. It’s why I drink a smoothie EVERY DAY! Continue reading “CANDIDA & KETO FRIENDLY CHOCOLATE MINT SMOOTHIE”

How to Keep Children’s Microflora in Balance Naturally

Healthy Children

Being a mom of 3, I know how hard to is to make sure your child’s microbiome is in perfect balance at all times.

Healthy Cold brew Freezie

Starbucks Frappuccino’s used to be my go-to Summer drink a long time ago. I stopped drinking them as they are full of sugar, dairy and other not-so-healthy ingredients.  I am not a big coffee drinker as it is quite acidic and I like to keep my body as alkaline as I can. That being said, sometimes I crave the taste (or is it the energy?) and like to have it as a treat here and there. Continue reading “Gut-Healing Frappuccino Freezies (Coffee-Free Option too!)”

Healthy Mexican Quinoa Chili

Healthy mexican chili

I don’t eat chili too often because the heavy tomato base is too inflammatory for my body as I had several autoimmune diseases. I also am against using ANYTHING from a can, especially tomatoes as they contain heavy metals, BPAs and other toxins. Because of that, I make my own healthy and less inflammatory chili from organic fresh tomato, soaked black beans, organic corn (I like something sweet in my chili) and sprouted quinoa!
