I was walking around in our pasture the other day and the wild apple trees are dropping their fruit, the blackberries are juicy and sweet. Mother Nature has everything set up to create an eating frenzy. For the critters that need to survive winter and live off of their reserves, this scenario is perfect. Once […]
A few Fridays ago my guts were tied up in knots. It had been a busy week and I had company landing in for the weekend. My stomach and chest felt painfully tight. It was similar to how you’d feel before going for a big job interview or before a public speaking gig. I tried […]
Daphné reached out to me with energy issues and cravings. Her sleep wasn’t great and she occasionally felt foggy and forgetful, especially if she was feeling hungry or skipped a meal. Daphné is a beautiful and dedicated young teacher that loves her new career. While discussing her goals, she made it clear that she didn’t […]
The friends I’m referring to are the bacteria and microorganisms that make up your gut microbiome. What were you thinking?

The recipe that I’m about to share (or some version of it) has been my go-to for quite a while. Stir fry is called fast-food at my house and […]
The pandemic was an eye opener. Looking back has really allowed me to see just how much of a hit I took, like so many small businesses. I’m getting back up, but my business legs still feel wobbly and vulnerable. I’m guessing that a lot of that stems from fear. Fear because my livelihood was […]
I have a friend that owns a beautiful luxury car and she always gasses up with the expensive, high-test fuel. Sometimes when we go on long car trips, Hughie puts the high test stuff in our car, and we don’t drive a luxury car. He tells me that it helps clean out the motor, avoid […]
