So, instead of selecting another outfit, she…

What I Take for Immune Health (and what my kids do!)

I think everyone I know is sick right now.  Maybe it’s because I tend to frequent the highly germy little kid scene, but regardless, it’s that time of year!  I get asked a good amount what I take supplement-wise on a daily basis and what my kids do, so I thought it would be a good time to write about…

Day One of the Whole 30 Diet

I was recently telling my husband about a client I saw who had just completed the “Whole 30” diet. He was intrigued. Did they lose weight? What did they have to do? Were they hungry ALL THE TIME?? I explained to him the general rules: no dairy, no added sugar, no grains, no legumes, no alcohol, nothing processed, etc. (for…
