Want to know how to stop eating junk food? First, discover what you're really craving, then look at what to do about it. Distinguish between true cravings (irresistable), casual cravings (you're not trying very hard), and food memory. I can have a mental food fest right now thinking about Reuben Sandwiches, but that's a memory from pre-Celiac days and not really a craving. Got it? So, think about the foods you crave.

Are Premium Supplement Brands Worth the Price?
I'm frequently asked if the premium supplement brands I carry are really worth the price and why these brands don't look familiar. Most of us are wary of brands such as Centrum, but beyond that, we're generally reliant on advertising and product display. Doctors don't usually know the differences between formulas any more than grocery clerks do. Premium supplement brands rarely sell through retailers. They're meant to be sold at natural ...

If you're in Texas or Oklahoma, chances are you feel pretty miserable during December and January. You need Cedar Allergy support! When cedar pollen releases, you can literally see clouds of yellow pollen bursting off cedar trees. It looks like smoke!

Salt Water Gargle and Nasal Flush
Do you do a salt water gargle? Do you use a Neti Pot for irrigating the sinuses and washing out pollen and mucous? Both work great for me when I'm sick and they are also handy all year 'round for allergies. A salt water gargle cleans out excess mucous in your throat and help kill germs too. My recipe is a little different than most. Try it and see if it works for you. HERE'S THE RECIPE FOR THE SALINE SOLUTION FOR SALT WATER ... Keep Reading >

How Love Heals… The Emotional Side of Healthcare
I'm looking deeper lately into some chronic health issues. Asking myself how love heals, and what is the emotional side of healthcare. I do know this.... When I get overworked, worry too much, or get caught in one of life's little traumas (leaky roof, sick animal, etc.) it can just get to be too much. Know what I mean? When we're under pressure, our immune system stops working. When we don't sleep enough, our hormones don't work. When ... Keep Reading >
