Sugar can be used medicinally to help regulate metabolism efficiently. It’s funny because, when we think about what we’ve been taught about sugar, using it as a medicine is not the first thing that comes to mind. I’m talking about fructose and sucrose, the sugars you get from fruit, organic table sugar, honey and below [...]
Why Go Gluten Free
Gluten free has become a popular marketing term in the food industry, and for some, a way of life. Many people are asking about it and demanding that more gluten free products become available in the market place and at restuarants. One reason may be that studies have shown gluten can cause inflammation in the [...]
Top 10 Ways to Stay Healthy In 2012 And Beyond
#1. Toss The Microwave. Microwave ovens emit radiation into your food as well as your surroundings. They’ve also been proven to change your food at a molecular level, so in other words, the food you put in the microwave will not be the same food that comes out. I can remember when I was a [...]
The Benefits of Winter Time Exercise
Now that we’ve entered the winter months, movement is just as important as it is in the summer, only it serves a different purpose. We need exercise in the colder months to circulate and move energy through the body. It also helps to warm and balance hormonal levels in the body. The best movements for [...]
The Many Benefits of Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is another one of my favorite super foods. It has natural anti-oxidants which can protect your body against free radicals.

How To Get 4 Meals From One Chicken
One of my favorite meal items is an organic rotisserie chicken, preferably pasture fed. Other than the fact that it tastes great and is easy to prepare (especially if you buy it already cooked), it goes a long way. I’ve been able to get at least 3 to 4 meals from one chicken for a [...]
Milk, The Original Super Food
Food allergies have become the latest diagnoses to people’s health issues. It seems every illness relates back to either a food sensitivity, allergy or a vitamin D deficiency. I was completely on board with this and have had first hand experience, until recently. The food elimination diet does have some validity and works short term, [...]
The Future of Organic Farming
Organic farming and food have become a wonderful trend in recent years. If there was ever a great trend to have, it would be more people getting interested in organics. My only hope is that it becomes less of a trend and more of a fixture in our daily lives in the coming years. Organic [...]
Gluten Free Living
Last week’s Demystifying Gluten Free Cooking workshop was a hit! My very first cooking workshop, held at Pure Energy Wellness Studios with Charli Vogt, was great! We had a blast and the food Charli prepared was fantastic. The group shared their experiences of living gluten free, how it effects them in their daily lives and [...]
Marathon Running, a Popular Trend
Marathon running is a growing trend. As you can see Marathon participation in the USA has gone from 4.6 million to 13 million in 20 years (1990-2010). See chart here. It seems like everyone and their mother are signing up for marathons lately. We’re all seeking to accomplish what seems like the impossible. Heck, [...]
