Andes Mint Smoothie
One of my favorite youth memories resides at the Olive Garden chain restaurant. After gobbling up as many breadsticks, “Olive Garden Salad” and minestrone soup that my tummy could handle, I’d top it off with as many of the Andes mints I could snatch, then somehow manage to pocket away more on the way out…

Just Breathe
Because our living ceases with our breath, we are all technically breatharians. This term, “breatharian”, becomes easily associated with quacky and crazy nature lovers who sit under trees half-naked meditating all day. However, just the thought of going 2 minutes with no accessible air to breathe would scare anyone. Humans can go many hours with…

Vegan Mango Lassie
This recipe started as a spin on a delicious shake in traditional Indian cuisine. I find it to make the perfect sip for transitioning to “EVERYTHING IS PUMPKIN SPICE” season, while still residing in a hot, semi-tropical climate. The key spice in this recipe is CARDAMOM! This singular use of a warming “carminative” provides a…

Homemade weekend waffles with chores will remain a forever foundational childhood memory of mine; something my mom made the conscious effort to make into a tradition. Just the sight of a waffle iron alone brings back memories of Saturday brunch that seemed to brighten up the thought of weekend cleaning duties. Here’s a fun yet…

Some terms come to mind that I’ve heard before: “Being emotionally constipated” or “Diahrrea of the Mouth” …. (Can I hear an amen?) Dealing with this normal human emotion healthfully includes supporting and…

Having the Guts to Heal our Heart
My recent dive into learning the art and practice of colon hydrotherapy has been quite the journey (and I’m just getting started!). The opportunity fell on my lap during somewhat of a stall in my own life, holistically speaking. Since I’m on the topic of colon health… and stalling in life, let me explain how…

Acute Skin Rash Remedies
In today’s world it’s not easy for the fungus not to be among us! This junk will linger dormant in our bodies, waiting to show its gnarly little face when we encounter times of chronic stress, emotional struggles, or if we decide to improve our health and eliminate toxins from our body. The big question…

Liver & Gallbladder Flush while Breastfeeding
I recently did a liver & gallbladder flush while exclusively breastfeeding my 4-month old infant. While heavily detoxifying the body during pregnancy and breastfeeding can harm a baby or mother’s health, there are health benefits to the mother & child when liver and gallbladder congestion is cleared with a flush.
