Things I won’t be doing for my health in 2022. . .
Drinking my urine, cold plunges, eating only meat, eating only vegetables, focusing on fasting a lot, living afraid of ‘germs’, trusting ‘the experts’,
You can do any of those things if you want to.
I just won’t be.
I’ll continue to ditch all the dogma and focus on what intuitively feels right to me.
The good news is, nature knows best if we learn nature’s patterns, rhythms and...

Your Inner Stress Barometer
In this episode, I talk about what I'm calling your inner "stress barometer" which notifies you when your mind and body are under too much strain.
Listen to Episode #89: Your Inner Stress Barometer : Find A JOY TO BE ME on iTunes, iHeartRadio, Stitcher or Spotify
When you become aware of your inner stress barometer- it can help notify you when you need to give your body more of what it needs. In order to restore your equilibrium you have to find the right balance in your life in order to restore harmony.
Does your body "act up" when you are stressed?
Do you get strange sensations that make you worry you might have something seriously wrong with you?
Do you listen to your inner needs when you are spread too thin, or do you "power" through it, depleting yourself further?
There's a line in the Lord of Rings in which Bilbo tells Gandalf that “I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.”

I also remind you about the hierarchy of minerals and how magnesium and potassium are joined at the hip so to speak.
It’s impossible to overcome potassium deficiency without first replacing magnesium and low potassium levels can increase urinary magnesium losses. So, I'm actually building upon all the past materials I've created and shared with you about magnesium.
Minerals work as a team. They run the show of your human energy system and they can't be underestimated.

Burnout is like being in debt
In this episode, I painted a picture for you of what it's like to be in burnout. It's very much like being in debt -starting with the missing minerals. We are all born into nutritional debt these days. This is important to acknowledge so we can do something about it, instead of remain in denial.

PODCAST: Bio-individuality (there are no one size fits all nutrition approaches)
In this episode, I talk about bio-individuality. A fundamental concept that I was taught when I attended the Nutritional Therapy Association and how I approach supporting all my clients. Bio-Individuality can help us embrace the profound beauty of a flexible, integrative approach to nutrition.

While we humans share many similarities, nature created each human being as their own unique microcosm. We are more remarkable for the ways we differ than for the ways we are alike.
Understanding the concept of bio-individuality as it relates to you will free you from the lunacy of the media saying one day that, greens are good for you, and the next day – they're bad for you. One day, coffee is helpful to keep you regular, and the next, it can kill you. Meat causes cancer vs. eating high amounts of meat is the...

Let's face it ladies, many of us are frazzled by life. We are juggling A LOT in burned out bodies without 'the tribe'. We've lost sight of what is most important - BEing nourished (in all ways).
