I have a hard time staying focused and keeping my energy stable. It is time to give adrenals some love, as they deserve it as well as rest. Leaving for 10-day vacation in a couple of days, so that is the perfect timing too. In the meantime, […]
Breakfast for energy, weigh loss and balanced hormones.
Are you struggling with not having enough energy, blood sugar rollercoaster and hormones all over the place? I will show you how to make a healthy breakfast so you can banish all those issues! I know that a lot of people are struggling with not knowing what to eat for breakfast. Most of us are thinking that our breakfast is “healthy,” but in reality, we are consuming breakfast high in sugar. This kind of food is not nourishing, and it is not satisfying. To the contrary believe we grow up with breakfast doesn’t have to be full of […]

What is Your Menstrual Cycle Telling You About Your Health?
A woman’s nature is cyclic. Women are rhythmic. Everything about them is cyclic and variable. Many things can interrupt and influence this cycle. But, despite its fragility, the cycle is the most valuable barometer in a woman’s body. If our menstruation is out of sync, our body is out of sync. The majority of symptoms, such as heavy bleeding, no bleeding or what we call PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) can be easily regulated if we will only realize what influences that change. A major influencer is how we take care of ourselves. PMS is the most common health complaint […]
Do You Know What Raw Food is?
You probably don’t know what “raw food is”? I love Raw “cooking.” I enjoy the creativity it gave me, and the results are amazing.

My favorite berry smoothie!
Oh, the smell of the forest from my childhood is still so fresh in my memory. The mushroom picking and berry picking were my favorite summer activities. I miss it so much… As kids, we used to wait for school to end so the summer food extravaganza can start! We used to go and play in the forest, full of abundance, new fruits, new smells, and animals. Both fed my soul as well as my belly! Running around and playing in the forest and eating were my favorite things to do as a child. Coming back for berry picking, […]
Do You Want to Have Balanced Hormones? Start With improving the Gut Health.
Are you struggling with estrogen dominance, anxiety, candida, weight gain, a thyroid condition, hair loss and more? You might not be aware, but the gut health and hormone health are closely related. You won’t have balanced hormones if you don’t heal the gut first. It is important to realize that you are as healthy as your gut is. Hippocrates said, “All disease begins in the gut.” If you can’t digest and break down the food properly your body is not getting enough nutrients to function optimally. Our gut is a barrier, which lets things in that […]

Do You Know Why Your Waist Fat Accumulation Is More Important Than What You Weigh
You totally want to ditch your scale, don’t you? You may have this weird kind of relationship with your “weight”. I mean, it doesn’t define you (obviously). What you weigh can matter but only to a certain extent. Let’s look at your waist circumference (well…you look at yours and I’ll look at mine). Waist Circumference (AKA “Belly Fat”): Do you remember the fruity body shape descriptions being like an “apple” or a “pear”? The apple is kinda round around the middle (you know – belly fat-ish, kinda beer belly-ish) and the pear is […]
