Healing isn’t perfection +5 easy steps towards better health TODAY!

A small word of encouragement for someone looking from the outside in to the window of making a change for their health: 

Healing isn’t ALL or NOTHING! 

Change can come from small steps starting where you’re at, then working towards YOUR greatest potential! What it takes for one person to feel better may not be what it takes for you. Extremes are not apart of a healthy lifestyle. 

That means abiding to a way of healing + living that is causing you more stress than before is not conducive to your goals!

Yes, making change means sacrifice, but it shouldn’t feel like a struggle every single day. The only plan that will work for you, is one that is sustainable and fits your lifestyle.

ANY little (imperfect) step you take today will result in tremendous benefits in your body and feeling better tomorrow!

That doesn’t mean you have to climb up the entire staircase.  

Just up one step at a time, at your comfort level, at your pace, until you see the results you’ve been looking for.

The Truth About Protein!

One gram per pound, animal protein or a shake at every meal, and protein first thing in the morning! Does this sound like you? That is not your fault! This is how we are taught to nourish our bodies! This way of eating is what I did for years thinking it was my body that was broken and not the countless diets I had put myself through. It took me 27 years of living to find what would heal my body and give me a body I love to live in, one that feels good and looks good. For real change to occur I had to abandon the protein trap that was misleading me for years and keeping me sick.

Chronic dehydration + living water 💦☀️🥒🍓

How I stay hydrated and healing in this summer heat..

Just plain ol' filtered water simply does not do the trick! Our bodies need LIVING WATER and active enzymes to properly hydrate and restore.

The majority of people today are chronically dehydrated whether we realize it or not. You may not even feel thirsty, just sluggish, tired, tight head, achy body/joints, etc.

Why are we so dehydrated?

The Gluten & Dairy Gossip: are they really THAT bad for you??

We’ve all heard the rumor. That gluten and dairy are “bad” for us. We’ve all sat next to someone at a restaurant who asked their waitress from the gluten free menu and then proceeded to order their salad with no cheese. Is going gluten and dairy free just another fad craze by health nuts or is there some real substance behind this movement?
