Do you meditate? I used to avoid it because I felt that I was a “bad meditator” because I couldn’t remove my thoughts. Turns out there’s no such thing as a “bad meditator” and meditation isn’t about eliminating thought. It’s about tuning into your thoughts and bringing yourself into the present moment which helps you find calm, peace, and...

It’s springtime, which means spring cleaning and cleansing! There’s something about the shedding of our winter coats that prompts us to clean every nook and cranny of our living spaces.

After hibernating all season long, spring time is cleaning time, but with all those chemical-filled products on the market, how can you deep clean without running the risk of introducing toxins into...

I’m coming up on my 3 year anniversary since I went overseas for FMT treatment. In this video I share my updates and progress.

Over the years, I’ve received tons of emails asking about my progress and how the procedure worked for me. There are so many people considering this treatment and they want to know if it’s worth the investment.

The number one stressor in my life is worry.

I’ve written about worry before because...

Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a sweet tooth and I love chocolate. So, take it from a chocolate lover when I say, this mousse is amazing!

I can’t take the credit. My husband, Ben, created this recipe, and I have him make it for me quite often. 

Not only does it taste great, but it has zero added sugar, and uses natural monk fruit as the sweetener. This chocolate mousse is...

Studies have shown that less than 25% of people actually follow through with their New Year’s resolutions after only 30 days, which is why I don’t do resolutions. Only 8% of people accomplish their...

As someone who claims that “diets don’t work”, I’ve spent the last 15 years of my life on some type of restricted diet. For me it was different though. It was for healing purposes, not weight loss.
