I was once asked a question at a health freedom conference that truly stopped me in my tracks — and today, I want to share it with all of my female readers: What can a woman do to keep herself healthy? That’s a loaded question! My mind flooded with possibilities, and I had to pause and really reflect on what I believe matters most. After giving it thoughtful consideration, here’s what I came up...

  Today is National Cabbage Day — and I’m sure you’re jumping out of your chair with excitement. But stay with me. You’ve probably noticed I don’t usually spotlight one specific food.
