Her Holistic Home

Sorry it has been a couple weeks since I have posted an episode! I was out of town and then had to take a couple of weeks to just catch up on life! Today's episode is some of the tips and tricks we use to save money when eating organic and whole food based. Eating organic is expensive (no argument there) but there are some ways we have been able to save. These methods have allowed us to stick to our budget. Some of the products mentioned: Stasher Bags https://stasher.thj6q2.net/6vdzbThe banana bread recipe I use: https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/easy-gluten-free-banana-bread/Disclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below.

I have talked about discernment many times on this show but today I am going to question one of the widely popular books in Christianity today. I will say this, back in the early 1900’s psychology got a foothold in Christianity and while there are amazing pastors and institutions that are fighting back and trying to get back to what true biblical living and counseling was - the damage is widespread. We have to be very careful to bring everything back to the Bible. We also must question any techniques or methods and ask “where is this information from?” Many times it is just made up or based in psychology (which even leading psychologists will admit is not a TRUE science.) Of course I could go into even more on this but today I am talking about the 5 Love Languages. This book has helped cause so much damage in the Christian world today and I feel I need to address it. So buckle up and let’s go!Disclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below. I may receive compensation for using the links.

I personally have LOVED Naturepedic product. Not because they are a bigger name but because their quality has stood the test of time. I have several mattresses from them as well as mattress covers, and pillows.  Compared to other brands I have purchased, they last! I can also trust their quality. I know that when I am sleeping, my body is not being bombarded by chemicals (at least  not from my mattress and pillow!)Sadly, the President's Day sale I mention in this episode is over, but I would gather they will be offering another sale here soon (probably one for Memorial Day - maybe even sooner!)

The holistic community just like the allopathic community can be full of fear. As Christians we need to be very careful that we don't move from "taking care of our bodies" to fearing everything around us. In today's episode, I break down a little of the REASON for living holistically as well as talk about several different supplements I am trying in my home this year.  Here are some of the products mentioned in this episode:Water Filtrationhttps://www.theperfectwater.com/home-master-tmhp-hydroperfection-reverse-osmosis-water-filtration-system.html?aw_affiliate=eyJjYW1wYWlnbl9pZCI6IjIiLCJ0cmFmZmljX3NvdXJjZSI6Im5vX3NvdXJjZSIsImFjY291bnRfaWQiOjczfQEarthly - Gut Health Oilhttps://earthley.com/product/gut-health-oil/ref/LindseyPortugal/Seeking Health - Optimal Focushttps://www.seekinghealth.com/products/optimal-focus-90-capsules?rfsn=6802154.f79dc6&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6802154.f79dc6Earthley - Magnesium Lotionhttps://earthley.com/product/good-night-lotion/ref/LindseyPortugal/Feel Better Fasthttps://earthley.com/product/feel-better-fast/ref/LindseyPortugal/Vaccine Detoxhttps://earthley.com/product/vaccine-detox-herbal-extract/ref/LindseyPortugal/Disclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below.

I had the privilege of speaking with Leslie Nunnery the founder of the Teach Them Diligently homeschool conference this last week to discuss her new book Homeschool for the Heart. This book talks about what homeschooling should be about. As Leslie mentions, homeschooling is an amazing tool to accomplish a specific goal but that goal should be to disciple our children. Homeschooling is a tool to carry out our God given calling!Check out the links below to pick up your copy of the book and check out the TTD convention!Homeschool For the Heart Bookhttps://teachthemdiligently.net/homeschool-for-the-heart-book-offer/invite/Herholistichome/Teach Them Diligently Homeschool Conventionhttps://teachthemdiligently.net/invite/Herholistichome/Want More?

Today I am breaking out the different methods of homeschooling. Many homeschoolers come into homeschooling and really wonder where to start with all the options. This will help you breakout which style may fit you best. However, these are not cut and dry boxes and believe it or not, your style may change over the years! If you want to know more about these homeschool methods, I highly recommend checking out this post by Simply Charlotte Mason https://simplycharlottemason.com/five-homeschooling-styles/Also, attending a Teach Them Diligently conference to learn more about these styles! https://teachthemdiligently.net/invite/Herholistichome/Check out that link to attend a conference!

Dive into another biblical counseling topic - the topic of alcohol. Our nation has a major problem with alcohol. While Christians are "free in Christ" many have taken this to mean that they can just sin freely, especially when it comes to alcohol. While culture may not view drinking at a party or even getting drunk occasionally as wrong - we need follow what the Bible says. We are all sinners, but let us not use that as an excuse to just sin more. From a holistic perspective, most wine is also laden with chemicals and heavy metals and overall is just not that great for you. Check out the episode for more!Disclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below.

Today I am talking about some of the common toxic pitfalls during the holiday season and some easy ways to make them healthier. We all know this season is a time of massive amounts of sugar. However, even more dangerous are the dyes and chemicals that seem to be in every treat (especially ones for kids). Some of these treats can easily be made at home too! Disclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below. I may receive compensation for using the links.

Combining two topics today as I talk about holistic living from a Christian perspective. Sometimes it is easy to fall into things and not even take a step back and say "is this Biblical?" Many of these sins I committed too  when I first started rejecting the mainstream medical community and allopathic medicine and embracing more natural modalities. We have to be on guard in all areas of life and holistic medicine is no different. Through this episode, I hope you are encouraged to walk in truth and trust God for your health, your life, and everything. Mentioned: John Chapter 92 Kings Chapter 20Dirty Genes Book - https://www.seekinghealth.com/products/dirty-genes-by-dr-ben-lynch?rfsn=6802154.f79dc6&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6802154.f79dc6Disclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below.

When we hear the word idol we think of the baals that the Israelites went after, or the golden calf. We may even think about the little Buddha statues we sometimes see around. However, we have an idol that is much more sneaky. Paul talks about this idol in Ephesians. He actually calls those that practice this sinful practice IDOLATORS! I think this sin is very prominent in our culture today and sometimes we don't even view it through the severe lens that we should. Scriptures mentions: Ephesians 5 Disclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below.

Today I am breaking down the major arguments as to why people don't want to homeschool. I am challenging every person to analyze their hearts, their motives, and their goals. Are they aligned with God's goals?If you are already homeschooling  - this episode will hopefully encourage you in your journey and help you to evaluate whether the goal for your homeschool is what it should be. If you aren't homeschooling - this episode will help you to take a step back and analyze what your reasons are for not, and challenge you to truly think about the way God calls us to raise our kids. Disclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below.

As we walk in our faith as Christians, we have a calling. We have a calling to be discerning. This is so important especially for women. We are bombarded every day with different memes, books, articles. All geared towards women! Many of them seem innocent enough. However, when compared to what Scripture says - they fall flat. They don't teach what the Bible teaches, they teach what the world and psychology teaches. Everything must be compared to scripture. This is increasingly important in the day and age in which we live. Today I am talking about ways to be discerning and some major things to look out for. The Truth About Psychology Seminarhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E4dZ9Q_kqkDisclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below.

Today I am breaking down my favorite systems for water filtration in your house. I am not going to talk about ALL the possible systems, but these are the ones we use in our home. I am specifically going to address permanent systems not temporary or portable ones. I have had three homes all with different water filtration systems. I have researched a lot before choosing the ones I did for my latest home. I hope you find this podcast helpful in choosing which water filtration/purification is best for your home. Springwell https://www.springwellwater.com/product/water-filters/whole-house-water-filters/Home Master Hydro Perfection System (Affiliate) https://www.theperfectwater.com/home-master-tmhp-hydroperfection-reverse-osmosis-water-filtration-system.html?aw_affiliate=eyJjYW1wYWlnbl9pZCI6IjIiLCJ0cmFmZmljX3NvdXJjZSI6Im5vX3NvdXJjZSIsImFjY291bnRfaWQiOjczfQPentair Whole House Fluoride Filterhttps://tinyurl.com/5h7h78y3Disclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below.

I get questions all the time about what supplements we use or what supplement company to use. It is totally understandable! The supplement market is flooded and it is difficult to know which companies to trust. Then when you trust one company, something changes, and you can't trust them anymore. In this episode, I am just giving my opinion of my favorite supplement and herbal companies. This is not an endorsement of the company's political affiliations or even ALL of their products. I have tried to specifically tell you which products I use or have used (non-exhaustive list of course) from each. Disclosure: I am an affiliate for some of the links below.
