The holidays will soon be upon us! I’m already getting Black Friday ads in my emails, and of course the stores are brimming with Christmas decorations and supplies! Although the holidays are a time to share with loved ones and reflect on our blessings, unfortunately they are also a time when many people get run down, sick, and put on weight. But that doesn’t have to happen to you!  Because when you take steps...

  Although there are many “roads” that lead to disease (smoking, drug use, excessive alcohol use, having a nutrient-poor/junk food diet, chronic stress, and exposure to toxins), there is another one that very few people think of… But it’s arguably one the most common factors behind most illnesses! I’m talking about poor digestion. And if yours isn’t going along so well, you better be talking about it too. Fact is, you absolutely MUST have sound...

  Hippocrates, the Father of Modern Medicine, once said about 2,000 years ago, “All disease begins in the gut.” He was right on.                                                                             When you consider all that, your gut does for you, it’s easy to see why Hippocrates zeroed in on it as the hot spot of health (or lack thereof).

My boyfriend and I plan to be skeletons, and I can’t wait to see the costumes our friends come up with! I’ve had a lot of Halloween parties over the years and have made many different appetizers and drinks, but there are...

But if these script readers truly cared about reporting NEWS, how about telling people...

  October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and if I had my way, I would change that to Breast Cancer Prevention Month. Because billions of research dollars have been raised over the last several decades to “find the cure,” yet we are still faced with the fact that cancer is our number 2 killer. So, what have all these billions of dollars bought us?  Lots of pink ribbons? And unfortunately, it appears very little...
