My clients continually say they want to take care of their bodies on a deep level. This can only happen when we reduce the toxins we consume – through what we breathe, eat, and put on our bodies. Commercial sunscreen is one of those toxins we should avoid. Of the sixteen UV filters approved by
One of my clients came to me after reading my Sunshine blog in which I mentioned how toxic sunscreen is and that I was ready to give it up. She was intrigued but still concerned about what to do. “I am fair skinned. I worry about burning. I generally wear long sleeves and long pants
In 2014, it was estimated that approximately 12% of U.S. deaths (340,000 persons per year) could be linked to inadequate sun exposure.1 And a 2016 all-cause mortality study found that avoidance of sun exposure is a risk factor for death similar to that of smoking.2 This only makes sense. 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

The actual author of the Serenity Prayer was Reinhold Niebuhr, widely considered the most renowned American theologian of the 20th century. The earliest reference to the prayer is found in 1932.

We all want to feel good about the way we look – we want to be stronger, leaner, and more alert! We want energy for ministry, kids’ activities, and taking care of aging parents. BUT we’re not going to achieve these desires with our sedentary lives. Even if we workout once a day, it’s only
The term “Natural Flavors” is a camouflage for everything under the sun – soy lecithin, MSG, extracts & ingredients from GMO crops,… What’s worse, some of these so-called flavors are being developed using aborted fetal cell lines. There are large companies whose purpose is to produce flavor enhancers and fragrances. They team with the big
My clients know they’ve been deceived by the food industry. They want to know all the labeling tactics so they can buy clean, healthy products for themselves and their families. First, know these companies don’t sell food, they sell commodities. They’re producing goods for profit, not for human nourishment. Labels tell one story – the
