Please tell me there I am not the only one who deals with dirty socks PLAGUING my floors? What is it about boys (do girls do this?) leaving their dirty worn socks just sprawled on the floor? 

I get so tired of asking them to be picked up, I just save my breath and do it myself! In the spirit of this conundrum, my socks poem.... 

Thanks for reading :)

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. - Maya Angelou 

Do you know what scares me most? 

The idea of not fulfilling my mission on earth. Not fully living my truest soul-expression. 

The thing is, EVERY human being on this planet has a mission, a unique and bio-individual purpose that we are specifically designed to be embody during our life. 

Our soul longs to be heard and expressed. This is the longing so many of us feel as a void that must be filled with things, whether it be handbags, shoes, shopping, amazon packages (you can see what I tend to fill it with), drugs, alcohol, even exercise or nonstop working habits. There are millions of things one can try and fill the void with… but it can and never will be filled. It will only continue to long and crave it’s full expression without shame, fear, and self-doubt. 

What keeps us from living this optimal version of ourselves? 

There are a few things I’ve...

This is one of the simplest Fall squash recipes ever!

Acorn squash is vibrant in color and packed with nutrients. This is just one of the MANY plants Mother Nature has blessed us with that not only tastes divine, but is SO good for us! 

The bright orange flesh is full of vitamins C, A, and B... it has minerals like potassium, magnesium, iron, and manganese, which are ALL critical for health!

It's also ample with antioxidants that protect cellular health. 

Acorn squash is also a great source of fiber, which we all need more of in our diet!

Fiber feeds our good gut bugs, and if you are in my 14-Day Gut Reset Program, this recipe is for you (just skip the maple syrup!). 

This recipe is almost like dessert!

It's sweet, savory, and easy to pair with a clean meat!

I could eat it all day long. It's also a perfect and versatile carb that can take place of other starchy veggies, and is perfect in both sweet and savory recipes. 

Okay enough of it's magnificence, let's do...

 If you aren't already familiar with GMO's this post is for you! 

GMO's are one of humans biggest mistakes. What was once thought would be an idea that changed the world and fed the hungry, became one of the biggest lies that the world has ever known. 

GMO's are not safe. They have been linked to numerous chronic diseases. Before we dive into the health detriments of these organisms and the chemicals that accompany them, let's get a better understanding of what they actually are. 

GMOs simply stand for Genetically Modified Organisms.

These are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a lab through genetic engineering. This creates combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.

Sound appetizing? No, this is the epitome of messing with Mother Nature. Which has NEVER ended well. 

While many countries like, Europe, have...

This is a simple salad that can be thrown together in a matter of minutes. It's so good for digestion and giving us the fiber we need for a healthy gut! 

 Kale has so many health benefits! It promotes detoxification, skin health, has tons of antioxidants, and has ample fiber... which we all need more of in our diets! Pair kale with lemon juice, also super detoxifying, onion, which our gut bugs love to eat, and extra virgin olive oil, the healthy fat... you have magic! 

The nuts add more healthy fat to help you absorb all of those amazing fat-soluble vitamins! 

The trick to making curly kale easier to eat, massage it with oil! It breaks down the hard fibers! Sautéing kale is also one of my favorite side dishes... I'll post that recipe soon too. 

Okay enough chit-chat... let's do this: 

 Ingredients: 

• 1 bunch of organic curly kale 
• 1/2 small white onion, diced 
• Juice from 1-2 lemons
• 4 Tbsps. grated parmesan
• 1/2 cup roasted pine...

It is estimated that 64% of Americans drink a cup of coffee every day! 

A study published in 2005 by researchers at the University of Scranton (Pa.) indicated that coffee was the number one source of antioxidants in the American Diet than from any other source. 

Our body needs antioxidants! These substances can help prevent or slow damage to cells caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules in the body produced by a reaction or response to an environmental stressors. 

Of course, I recommend getting your daily dose of antioxidants and nutrients from fruits and vegetables, but the fact is that only 1 in 10 Americans actually get enough fruits and vegetables in their daily diet. 

For the purpose of this post, we will focus on coffee and how to make the most of your morning cup of Joe.  If you have a cup of coffee everyday, this post may inspire you to up your coffee-game and take baby steps to make it healthier and infuse it with super...

The last few months I have spent a lot of time reflecting on my life... maybe it's all part of the midlife crisis phenomenon? I'm 41 and in the midst of a deep realization that my life is half way over! We won't focus on that... haha. 

Part of my process and growth has been discovering how I fell victim to the lies our culture doles out to us and the constant message that we all need to consume, consume, consume to be better, bigger, richer, have more status, and be enough. I lived for so long believing that it actually matters what people think of me and living lies is better than living our fullest and most authentic selves. 

Now maybe this is part of the midlife crisis? Self-realization? BUT why don't we just teach out kids to not even live in the matrix and become who they are meant to be NOW!? 

I truly believe there is so much unnecessary suffering and pain because of the false beliefs that we own and create our lives around. 

So, here are the...

Did you know that when we start supporting a more sustainable system and eat food that nourishes us we contribute to the healing of the collective and the planet. Too woo woo? 

One of the most common complaints I get from friends, family, and clients is that eating healthy is expensive, but is it really? What is the true cost of eating healthy... a lot less than eating like shit and experiencing a low quality of future life. Too blunt?

Being sick is expensive. Chronic diseases cost our country $3.7 trillion dollars annually and it's only going up from here. Unless, and I have hope, that we begin to create change by starting right with ourselves. There's never a good time to begin. It's always now... and now... and now. 

Okay, I got off on a tangent. Does anyone actually read blogs anymore? 

If you understand how to work the food system and do a little planning... you'll discover it's actually simple to eat healthy and not spend a fortune!
