Happy Winter Solstice! Winter’s officially here and will be with us until March 20, or the Spring Equinox. Now’s the time to “get back to your roots”, yes literally, but I also mean it figuratively. Let me explain… Winter is the season of restoring. During this season, you restore the physical body with warm cooked … Continue reading Get Back to Your Roots

But do you really know what it means? Do you really know how seasonal foods directly impact your health?
Firstly, there is a basic principle we need to understand:
Yes!

Again, yes! All disease, from arthritis to cancer, can be healed IF the body is given what it needs to heal!
Let’s take a look at dis’ease’ (haha get it?) from an energetic standpoint…
Balance for a human body comes from the earth. The earth is literally referred to as Mother Earth. She  nourishes us with her food and grounds us (literally) with stable energy.
This harmonious relationship was vital to our evolution as a species and becoming vibrant healthy human beings!

When it comes to the heart, we do NOT want a hot heart. This is a very dangerous condition and is what we known as “heart disease”, “high cholesterol”, “high blood pressure”, “heart palpitation”, etc. With these conditions, the heart needs to be cooled.
Another thing to understand is the heart is not a solo operator. And as amazing as the heart is- it’s just a pump. It’s not responsible for the health of your blood or cholesterol level.

But to be honest, the reason I never tried a Master Cleanse is because I … Continue reading Your Master Cleanse- How To

What if … Continue reading Perfect Fall Recipe
