During the autumn and winter months and throughout the Holiday season, having friends and family over is one of these seasons' best parts. You may love coming up with what will be on the menu, or it may send you into a spiral of confusion. Whichever way you lean, there's one thing that is simple, delicious, and never disappoints -- hummus. Hummus is a healthy [...]
As someone who has beaten Stage IV Cancer without traditional protocols, I am ALWAYS looking for ways to bring my plant based, high alkaline high raw lifestyle into every phase of my day. You do not have to cancer to understand how important your immune system is. All too often I witness men and women going through life serious about feeding their mind and ignoring [...]
Since I have found the high alkaline lifestyle, after beating stage IV cancer without traditional protocols, I rarely eat meat, poultry or fish anymore. Thanksgiving is one of those exceptions. It is my favorite holiday and I adore being with my family and friends. I just love that we are all focusing our energy on being thankful and grateful. It is a powerful day and I [...]
The holiday season can be filled with excitement, wonder, parties and yes, stress! In times of stress, I always turn to my two most important areas of my alkaline lifestyle: green juice and alkaline water. Being aware that sugar is a real no-no for disease prevention, and everything else, finding ways to support ourselves is key. Tis the season to stay healthy and increasing both [...]
What's for dinner? Seriously, we are all so busy that often it is a last minute choice. Whatever is in the house. Enter.........chaos, frustration, guilt, weight gain, confusion and more. I hear and see this all the time. Smart, strong busy folks who are exhausted and running out of energy find themselves throwing in the towel by creating excuses and seeking other pathways of learning [...]
Preparing for travel can quite honestly, throw me in to a spiral for days. Three days prior to leaving, I am trying on clothes, making piles and changing my mind. Why is it that I feel so frazzled when planning my wardrobe? Then for these few days my bedroom has clothes, shoes and accessories all over. While I share this, I hope I am no alone! Interestingly, [...]
Sometimes we can become so overwhelmed by our day to day activities that even preparing a healthy salad becomes too much to think about and we find ourselves grabbing for something we retreat eating hours later and then we wonder why we have challenges shedding pounds. This is when crazy becomes our new normal. My mission is to take you from crazy to extraordinary! [...]
True confessions , I sing to my sprouts! Honest..just ask Nevin. While I was fighting for my life to beat Stage IV Cancer without traditional protocols, I attended The Raw Food Institute in October 2011 and met Lisa Wilson. It was here I learned about living foods and fell in love with sprouts. This is also where I was introduced to my green juice. [...]
What Do I Eat For Breakfast? Delicious Chia Coconut Pudding, of course! Chia seeds pudding is a fabulous way to get your day going. They are filled with iron, calcium, omegas, magnesium, antioxidants and more. This is a go to breakfast for me, usually a couple of hours after my alkaline water and green juice. It is refreshing, yummy and so healthy........of course, it is also very [...]
Creating a container garden on our deck began with flowers for color and design. Then February 2008 I received my diagnosis of Stage IV cancer! Yikes, everything changed. My healing journey led me to understand the correlation between food and health. My choices in food and water were immediate and obvious: alkaline water and alkaline mostly raw foods. Then in the Spring of 2008 [...]
