Yes, FREE time.
Time you don’t have to pay for with worry, guilt or sleep loss.
It’s time outside of the mental box, letting your brain go on Cruise Control and letting your guard down a bit.
And it’s probably the hardest thing I ask myself and my clients to do… (After giving up Tortilla Chips!)

Life is Motion… Everything moves and changes all the time.
Sometimes we change/move forward. Sometimes we regress. Sometimes we aren’t paying attention to where we’re going until we end up somewhere. And wonder…. “How the heck did I get here“?
I believe that HEALTH is this way. Most of us, including me, don’t pay attention to the big picture. We stay in the details of my headache today, or why my tummy hurts, or gosh this job is just awful, or why does she act like she hates me? We even believe that what we think is true!

One reason I’ve been successful as a health practitioner is that I often try things on myself before I ask others to do them. And, my own health is often in need of serious support, so any information I gather is good for me as well!
New types of lab tests, new styles of therapeutic healing, new supplements…. I want to check them out and report on them to my clients (and my readers).
So of course I started Neurofeedback sessions after my recent Interview with author and Nutritional Therapist Nora Gedgaudas. (Listen to our podcast here). Neurofeedback healed her chronic depression, and we spoke of how the new Cygnet feedback technology is so much easier for the practitioner to “tune in” to the person’s needs than the old style Qeeg feedback.

An excellent new book on Food, the Gut and Health.
“Digestive Health with Real Food” by French Canadian, Aglaee Jacob, MS, RD, is big, clear, full of info, and can be a good guide for your detective work on digestion, elimination (poop), and your health.
Agalee, like most of us who come forward to teach or write about natural health, has been through her own digestive struggles, and has put together a juicy resource book on eating, pooping, IBS, bacteria, fructose problems, probiotics and more. She offers guidelines on food challenges, supplements, choosing probiotics, and fermented foods.
Transit time? Leaky gut? Stress and the gut? SIBO? FODMAP’s? It’s all here, so you’ll have to read the book and/or listen to our Interview to get the details.
If you want info on the color and consistency of your stool, listen to us talk about green, gold, pale, floating, foamy and lots of other “poop” descriptors. Now how much fun can you have in a 45 minute show?
Oh, and there’s recipes too. Bone broth, gelatin, meat cupcakes, macaroons, apple pudding and other simple foods for healing tummies old and new. I asked Aglaee for her recommended gelatin source and she suggests Great Lakes brand. Nice to have an alternative to commercial stock that may not be good for us.
You can buy her book on Amazon or her website. And stay tuned – we’ll be offering a Giveaway of a copy soon!

I had a realization last week…
My blog needs more “ME” in it!
Bloggers write to offer advice, fun, ideas and support to others. We want to help. We want to love and be loved.
There are wonderful Mommy Bloggers, and fantastic Foodie Bloggers, and amazing Exercise Experts.
But that’s not me!
I don’t create recipes – I have no kids – and I don’t coach fitness. So who am I?
I’m a really, really good Natural Health practitioner, and, out of necessity, an incredibly experienced client of many of the natural health arts. I’m 61 years old, and I saw my first Naturopath 40 YEARS ago (back in 1973!). Everything was brand new, completely strange and enticingly unique. (Even the tofu, which fortunately I didn’t stick with, despite the hundreds of Soy Is Superior campaigns).
