I wanted to send you a few words of encouragement and positivity this week. Nobody has a perfect life in which everything is fabulous all the time. We’re all dealing with something at any given point in time. But how you perceive your situation and how you react to your situation is what ultimately makes the difference between a positive or negative experience.

I’m a big fan of...

I’m now back home in Dallas after a 2 week stint in the UK. Hitchin, England to be exact. You may be thinking, “I’ve never heard of Hitchin. Why would you spend 2 weeks there?”

Well, I had never heard of Hitchin either until a few months ago, and while this was a relaxing trip, it was not for vacation.

I went to Hitchin because that’s the home of the ...

I’m coming to you today from the UK, where I’ve been for the past week. It’s been a wonderful trip so far, and I can’t wait to share more with you when I’m back in the states.

While we’ve been able to do some wonderful sightseeing, we’re not over here purely for vacation. We traveled here for a purpose, and I’ll be sharing more details soon, so...

Lemon is one of my favorite essential oils because it has multiple benefits and uses. It’s a very cleansing and detoxifying oil, which makes it great for the home as well as your body.

Lemon is a powerful cleansing agent that purifies the air and surfaces, and can be used as a non-toxic cleaner throughout the home. Simply add a few drops of lemon to a spray bottle with water and...

We love smoothies in our house. My husband, Ben, and I both start our day with a delicious protein smoothie. It’s such a great, easy breakfast option when you don’t have a lot of time to cook. Also, neither of us are big breakfast people, so drinking a smoothie is satisfying, filling, but not overly heavy. Ben’s most favorite breakfast is a chocolate peanut butter protein...

Wild orange essential oil has quickly become one of my all time favorite oils. It’s such a beneficial oil to support your overall health. I used it for the first time only about 3 months ago, but I’m obsessed. I literally use this amazing citrus oil every day.

Not only does it have such a refreshing, energizing fragrance, but it offers numerous health benefits.

Like other citrus...

I recently had the pleasure to return to Health Geeks Radio to be a guest on their podcast for a second time. This time, we talked about the relationship between your gut health and your hormones, specifically, your adrenal hormones – cortisol and DHEA.

The HPA axis is what monitors and controls the production of cortisol and DHEA from your adrenal glands. These 2 hormones, in the right...

Essential oils are wonderful natural solutions to help support a healthy lifestyle. In this video I share 7 amazing ways to use peppermint essential oil.

Pure, therapeutic-grade peppermint oil is great for supporting healthy digestion, respiratory function, inflammation, and more.

It’s also pretty powerful. One drop of peppermint essential oil is equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint...

I imagine this topic of coffee enemas either intrigued you or freaked you out, or maybe a little of both. I totally understand. The first time I heard about people doing coffee enemas, I was pretty skeptical. Could that really be good for you?

I’ve had several clients lately ask me about coffee enemas, and if I thought they were beneficial.

Well, from much reading and researching,...

I love ice cream. It’s probably my favorite dessert. However, after removing lactose and most dairy from my diet several years ago, and then incorporating a paleo lifestyle, ice cream no longer had a home in our freezer.

I really didn’t miss it except for the times we’d be with family or friends and everyone was enjoying a bowl of creamy, delicious ice cream. But I knew, it...
