For women, mid-life can be a season when all of a sudden it feels like our health is on a downward spiral without us changing a thing.

Listen in as I share the research on foods, supplements and exercise methods that are providing women with relief from the long list of unpleasant symptoms that can accompany this stage of life.

Lately it seems like everyone is talking about seed oils and how terrible they are. Listen in as I share my take on it all after digging into the relevant research.  Further, fat can be a confusing topic - what's good, what's bad and what type of fat is best? This short episode will tell you everything you really need to know to take the next step to optimize your health.  My husband and I loved how the Holistic Holiday at Sea cruise taught us so much and left us feeling inspired to do better! But finding the the time and resources to make this happen was no walk in the park and simply not a reality for many of us in the thick of life!  A great alternative is the Food Revolution Summit coming up the last week of April. Many nutrition experts from different fields will share their research and answer common questions. The first summit I watched 9 years ago was so inspiring and motivating for me to make lasting and powerful changes. You can catch all the talks for free for a limited time, or you can purchase them to watch later at your convenience. Owning the summit can be a great way to plan your own Holistic Holiday wherever you choose, and set aside the time to immerse yourself in this life-changing information.  I loved doing this with a parenting course I was unable to attend in person. For a fraction of the time and money, my husband and I were able to soak up the information we needed and begin using it much sooner than had we waited until we could do the in person option.  Register Today!

We've been very fortunate to make it this long without needing an overnight hospital stay for any of our kids . . . until this month. Baby had some super nasty croupy breathing and we were grateful to get him the care he needed. It took some firm conversations to follow my momma instinct to leave the hospital when we did and although not in need of breathing treatments, baby was still plenty sick and could have easily taken a turn for the worse. I did everything I could to support his recovery at home and thankfully he was down to just some lingering congestion within a couple of days. Please note I am NOT a medical professional, just a mom who hates having sick kids! I've been fascinated with finding everything I can do to mitigate sickness and here are some of my favorites!

We have spent far too long as a society associating weight loss with deprivation and starvation! The thing I love about plant-based eating is that it allows a shift in focus from the quantity of what you eat to the quality. And by and large, focusing on the right foods often fuels weight loss just by working in concert with the body's systems to help it work more efficiently. This weeks podcast is packed with a handful of simple foods backed by research that aid weight-loss. The best part? The side effects are decreased risk of cancer, type 2 diabetes and improved athletic performance! This episode is short but packed with great tips!  And, if you've ever felt like you wish you could just talk to a real person who feeds their family this way, I am doing low-cost calls for a limited time! ​Click here to learn more.
