Humans are fascinating, well life in general is. Every day I marvel at the intricacy of life itself and that is no different than the human body.

There seems to be a theme running in the holistic health world today where more and more we tend to look at the body as one living organism rather than broken into separate components. Granted there is a time and place for that but at the end of the day, we have to see how our body is working together as a unit. Even when one system gets sluggish, it tends to affect numerous other systems. That's...

No one likes to think about it, I mean it's our home. A Place of shelter and comfort, a place of rest. Yet, I think the question, "is your house making you sick" is definitely valid, especially if you have a "mysterious" illness that you can never seem to shake.  Whether you think you struggle with mold or not, the scary statistic is they estimate over 85% of buildings in America have some elevate...

Two years ago I found myself on a high, or a high in the world of nutritionist status. I had finally figured out an eating plan that seemed to be working. I had energy {or so I thought}, I had lost the majority of the baby weight I carried for over a year and I had just completed a half marathon. Yet, what I didn't realize that while my external appearance seemed to be paying off my internal show...

Back pain runs in my family. In fact, I'm not immune to it having my own share of back struggles well before the age of 30. I often question what my life will be like in 30 years if I already struggle with pain. I have a feeling I'm not alone.

I have yet to talk much about the nitty-gritty of losing my health and fighting to get it back. Actually, it's been less of a fight and more of a learning process. The short story is I was doing everything right, eating well, exercising and living the traditional busy life of hustle. Not to mention raising three little girls all under the age of six. I was doing it, chasing the shiny objects all w...

Unhappiness. Some say it's our greatest epidemic of our day. In fact, statistics show that nearly 50% of Americans are unhappy at work and less than one-third of people describe themselves as "very happy." That means that nearly 70% of the American population are considered unhappy. To me, this is one of the most startling statistics we are faced with. Not just because the majority of the populati...

A question I've pondered all the way back to my pre-adolescent phase; how to get rid of body odor? The thought {and smell} of body odor takes me back to my 6th grade classroom. The time and place when everyone starts to smell but no one knows how to take care of it. Only to soon be masked through the 7th and 8th grade by body sprays, perfume, cologne and every other measure that is humanly possibl...

There is a lot of hype around detox diets and cleanses. While the stigma holds out that most detox for a quick weight loss scheme, I think it is due time we talk about how detoxing is so much more than that. In fact, it is essential and critical that our body detoxify itself daily. The good news is we have plenty of mechanisms to help us do this. The bad news is the "traditional" lifestyle can slo...
