It’s no surprise that by our 50’s we females have osteoporosis. Too much SUGAR and highly processed foods, stress, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, fluctuations in weight, improper alignment, and lack of movement are all contributing factors, which we experienced a lot of growing up. And now we have to concern ourselves with the ramifications that come
“Sit up straight. You’re going to have round shoulders when you grow up.” Do you remember your mom telling you that all the time? Well, perhaps we should have listened to her instead of rolling our eyes, not because we would have prevented having rounded shoulders, but because sitting tall can help our digestion. Are
“My doctor says I need to lose weight and I should be exercising more. …if I don’t, I’m at risk for atherosclerosis, a heart attack, diabetes,…” Dave S. “I am concerned about my muscle tone and excess flab. Can you help me?” Nancy B. I hear quotes like these all too often. Again, we’ve fallen

Sunlight is the primary source of
In my last blog, I barely scratched the surface on the topic of glyphosate (a toxic herbicide that is the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup). Its ill effects on plants, animals and the human body seem endless. Once sprayed, it gets into our soil and water systems and eventually into our oceans, killing the healthy
Like me, you’re concerned about what’s in and on your food. We’re doing our best to select healthy, well-raised foods. We don’t want to be feeding our families foods sprayed with toxic chemicals. But most likely we are. In the late 1990s, industry discovered they could put a bacterial gene into plants to give them
