This website is dedicated to helping the reader towards better health by taking a holistic, natural approach with a special emphasis on the digestive system. For some of you, changes may come quickly, and for others, reaching your health goals may take some time, even years. The most important thing to remember is that no matter how long it takes, it starts with your first step. Do not be afraid to take that first step towards health, and keep moving forward!

It's finally starting to feel like we're home ❤️ This beautiful rug from @unique.loom arrived yesterday and it made everything come together. Now to find some curtains (@ikeausa here I come!) and maybe a few more plants (because #crazyplantlady ) and I'm gonna call this room done! . . (Swipe to see all the pics) . . . #farmhouseliving #hundredyearoldhouse #bedroomdecor #thisiswhatyoudowhenthetempiszero

You know how you can tell that you're a mom of growing boys? When you leave your warm fire and brave the record cold temps and icy roads to make a Costco run 🥶😉 Because if you don't, things gonna get real scary real fast! . . . #hungryboys #alltheywannadoiseat #isitspringyet

Are your genes dirty? . There's a simple answer to that question: if you breathe and eat and don't live in a bubble, chances are pretty high that to some degree yes, your genes are dirty. When our genes are "dirty" (whether they were born that way or our environment made them so), this can ultimately lead to chronic health problems, emotional and hormonal imbalances, heart disease, depression, obesity, cancer, and so much more. If you have a family history of these things or experience them personally, read on 👇👇👇 . Thankfully, we can help to clean up our genes and we DON'T have to be a "victim" of our genetics. Just because something "runs in the family" doesn't mean it's inevitable. We can actually change how our genes express! I find this fascinating!! . Over the next week, I'll be talking more about how we can optimize our health using simple steps (follow my InstaStories). And I highly recommend that you check out @drbenlynch and his book "Dirty Genes"! It will change the way you look at your health ❤️ . . . #dirtygenes #cleaninghacks #knowbetterdobetter

Tips for surviving daylight savings/"fall back" time change: Since the time is already changing tonight, it's a little late to slowly transition your body to an earlier bedtime over the course of the next week or so 😬 -- but that doesn't mean all is lost! Tonight, try to get to bed earlier than usual. Load your diffuser with your favorite sleep-inducing oils, and rub some frankincense all over your head. Over the course of the next week, if you're feeling sluggish during the day, try diffusing equal amounts of lemon grass, lime, and rosemary oil for alertness. Ningxia Nitro can help enhance your focus too. Stay hydrated. Take short power naps if you need to. Rub some AromaLife over your heart and the sides of your neck for circulatory support (studies show an increase in heart related events around the seasonal time changes). Make sure you go out and get some early morning sunshine to help your circadian rhythm to transition. And if you have kids, stick them in a warm bath with Epsom salts infused with lavender and cedarwood, rub them down with a massage oil containing lavender and cedarwood, and load that diffuser up with lavender and cedarwood in their bedroom. Because goodness knows that kids won't appreciate that extra hour of sleep and will be up with the birds tomorrow ... Grease them up, and you'll be smiling in gratitude tomorrow 😉 {Goodbye daylight ❤️ See you next year} . . . #daylightsavings #winteriscoming #darkdays #hanginthere #theresanoilforthat

I hate to be dramatic but this pear crisp could seriously be the best thing. Ever. I mean, it's ridiculous. (Either that I was just hungry. You decide 😉) . I had a bunch of pears going bad and attracting a hoard of fruit flies so I cut them up and looked online for a recipe. This is what I found, and I'm sure it would work great with apples too! . . 🍐Pear Crisp🍐 3 large ripe pears (or more) 1/2 to 1 Tbs. cinnamon Topping: 1/2 c. pecan halves, chopped chunky 1 c. rolled oats 1/2 c. almond flour 1/4 c. melted butter or ghee 1/4 c. maple syrup 1/2 tsp. sea salt Toss the pears and cinnamon together in an ungreased glass pie dish. Combine all the topping ingredients together and sprinkle over fruit. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350°F until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is lightly golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving (or just dig in ... It smells too good to wait!) . . . #ridiculouslygood #homebaking #delish

We may look at what others are doing and be envious of what they have, whether that's kids, a crazy amount of energy, "perfect" health, the cleanest most Pinterest-worthy house, or whatever. The thing is, most of us won't do what is considered "great things" by the world's standards. And we definitely won't do those great things each and every day of our life. But we can do small things in a great way every single day. When our kiddo comes to us with yet another story, we can stop what we're doing for a moment, have them climb in our lap, and listen to them. We can use whatever energy we have to the best of our ability, and we can rest with equal joy. Our home doesn't have to be perfect, but it can be a happy place because we work on making it so. We take time for those things that bring us joy, those things that are truly "more important". . People work their whole lives striving for "greatness" when they've really missed the point entirely. Greatness isn't a final destination. It's the way we live our life every single day. . . . .
