Hugs are EVERYWHERE and we’re just missing out on this unique, yummy and FULL-FILLING treat.
I love how Sandy Gingras redefines hugs in her book, 100 Hugs: A little Book of Comfort, “hugs are everywhere, in moments, in gestures, in cozy chairs, in kind words, in milkshakes, and mountain breezes within your grasp.”
Even more so, not seeing the transformational power of these hugs. She goes on to say, “every hug is a mini-healing, mini-affirmation, mini-step in the right direction.”
SO TRUE! Read More
Part of wellness is connecting with others.
The secret to connecting with people on a mind-blowing level is to give them exactly what they want.
What does everyone want?
Sigmund Freud said it boils down to two motives…of course, sex, sex, baby AND the desire to be GREAT!
Today’s post will focus on greatness. When you tap into the big secret of greatness, you can connect with people (and the world) in a whole new mind-blowing way that literally saves people from insanity. YES, INSANITY! So for the sake of sanity, please read on.

Don’t we get ALL EXCITED with a new year?
Forget 2015, and all the other years that were horrible with all the failures and upsets.
It’s a CLEAN SLATE! It’s time for a “NEW YOU,” right?
That’s awesome…
BUT I’m worried…
I don’t want you riding the New Year’s motivation and newly charged will power because it’s FAKE!
This temporary New Year’s High that always crashes a few days later, weeks, or months later.
So, I wanted to shine a new light, a new spin to the new year that’s everlasting…

I hear these questions from my clients, what can I eat? what can’t I eat? what is the best diet?
TELL ME, TELL ME! :)

Can everyone in this world eat the same perfect diet…ALWAYS…and feel AMAZING?
Not in the traditional sense, but yes if you redefine what perfect is.

I found something better than Viagra. It’s the best natural and organic Viagra alternative. It’s way cheaper too and great for your health.

So, I wanted to share with you guys, all the amazing benefits of it, including more blood flow going to help with those sexy parts ;)

Last week, France did just that.
I mean, look at those perfectly ripped brown spotted bananas! Prime golden nuggets, just being thrown away!
It’s no wonder that a third of the world’s food is tossed in landfills, which contributes to climate change instead of going to people who need it.
That’s why last week, France did just that—making it illegal for supermarkets to throw away edible food. Read More

Recently, I did some kickboxing, which I haven’t done in forever.
It felt AHH-MAZING!
*Pow Pow Pow*

The best part? This approach can be applied to everything outside of kickboxing too!
Ready to kick it up?

Kip Anderson, the filmmaker of “Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret,” thinks so.
It took me awhile to think so too.
Not because I didn’t know this information, I totally did! I have a Bachelors in Environmental Science, nothing he shares in this film is “new” information.
But because a steak tastes freaking AHHHH-MAZING!
I ain’t going to lie about it. I didn’t want to give up my plump and juicy medium-rare steak, that’s CRAY CRAY!
“OWWW…I feel good,” as James Brown’s “I Got You (I Feel Good)” so nicely puts it :)

Tired of having endless hunger cravings and unnecessary snacking?
Sick of thinking about food 24/7?
Recently one of our participants in the Living Mindful Eating‘s Eat Beautifully Method brought up this concern and was seeking advice and tips for healthy snacks since she was a snacker.
I FELT her. I had this same exact problem!
But then I challenged her, what if you don’t need to snack?
What if you can nip that hunger craving and eliminate needing to snack?
So I shared with her my secret weapon I discovered along my journey that easily helps control cravings and snacking.

Yes, I’ve given up the paleo life of enjoying organic grass-fed beef, hormone-free pork, cage-free chickens, and wild fish to NO MEAT AT ALL—also known as a vegetarian diet.

What the BANANA FLOWERS?!?!
Also called banana blossoms or banana heart, I feel like I have been living in a cave not knowing these even EXISTED.
Besides being these beautiful pieces of art—a deep magenta color that hang like tear-drop shaped pendants at the end of banana clusters—THEY ARE TOTALLY EDIBLE!
How SWEET is that?! I already eat banana peels, so why not the flower too! :)

I recently discovered the BEST FLIGHT FOOD EVER by mistake while traveling to Thailand that I must share with you all!
We all had airline food, and typically it just isn’t the greatest. Depending on which airline you fly, it can be either a step above or even BELOW CAFETERIA FOOD.
Thankfully, flight food options are getting way better. But, I still plan for the worst and pack healthy, nutrient-rich energy snacks to hold me over on a flight.

I have a slight confession…
I PEE IN THE OCEAN…and I want to challenge you to do the same thing too :)
Haha, yup! Before, I would feel like a bad person. Now, I am not ashamed about it.
That is because recently I researched into it to find out about it.
GUESS WHAT?!?!
Not only is it okay to pee in the ocean, but you become an instant environmentalist!

Let me share with you a CRAZY statistic!
Did you know that 60% of the Unites States population is dealing with at least ONE symptom of digestive dysfunction?
You name it — gas, bloating, heartburn, abdominal pain, candida, constipation, diarrhea.
I pretty much had ALL those symptoms for YEARS!
I was NOT a happy camper.
Being a food blogger for my site, Food Coma 911 did not help either.

I am so excited to share with you this post! It’s just jammed packed with goodies: a recipe, a 50% off coupon code, a cookbook giveaway, and an interview!
My fellow classmate, Michelle Vodrazka at The Institute of Transformational Nutrition has written an awesome e-cookbook called “Smart Snacking for Sports.”
It’s an awesome cookbook that fulfill the needs of elite and amateur athletes to prepare easy and simple real food snacks, so that they can perform well.
One of my favorite snacks from the cookbook was the Cheesy Kale Chips.
Those who are dairy-free can appreciate and might love nutritional yeast even more. It is a great source of protein, and super cheesy and tasty :)
You just pop these suckers into the oven and just forget about them for 25 minutes until it is time to take them out.
Once you dig in, you can’t image having kale chips without them being cheesy and oh so yummy.

Yes, that’s right. You are literally throwing away something that is so valuable and you don’t even know it!
BANANA PEELS!
Haha, YES – this girl just said banana peels! I know, crazy talk. I use to think the same thing. But banana peels, and the skin, rinds, and seeds of some fruits are loaded with ridiculously amazing amounts of phytonutrients. Hence why I grate the lemon peel into my Zesty Lemon Delight.

You may not know this about me, but I went through my own health struggle…
I suffered from IBS; developed random food sensitivities, even to things that are suppose to be healthy for you like garlic and artichokes; daily bloating and/or constipation; my hormonal balance was out of wack; and my skin was breaking out like never before! I was just a big hot MESS!
I was constantly researching and trying out ANYTHING to make myself feel better, to feel whole again. It didn’t happen over night, but over the years I was able to get myself back to being healthy, happy, and loving life again.
But you know what? It shouldn’t take years and years to get the RIGHT INFORMATION. Sadly, a lot of the information is just rubbish out there. Especially, the information put out by the media!
That’s why I’m super excited to tell you about this FREE event that is put on by my school, the Institute of Transformation Nutrition.
If you want to finally take back control of your own health and life with the right information all in one place, then you will love the Transformation Nutrition Summit, hosted by my amazing teacher and celebrity nutritionist, Cynthia Pasquella.

YOU NEED MORE OF IT!
In fact, you need to be loving that ish!
Don’t worry, I made the same mistake too! I listened to the crap that the media brainwashed into our heads that we need to limit salt intake or we risk getting anywhere from hypertension to heart attacks. Yikes! So of course just like everyone else – I avoided salt like there was no tomorrow. I read all the nutrition labels and would only buy things that had low or no salt added.
Thankfully, folks like Dr. Brownstein are talking about the conventional nonsense of limiting your salt intake. In this blog post, he surprisingly states that for 20 years his analysis of thousands of blood tests continue to show that most patients are salt deficient!
Did you know that adequate amounts of salt are needed to perform a variety of essential function, including thyroid and adrenal function? Mmmm Hmmm, so time to change your salt phobia starting today.

YES – that is CORRECT! LOVE vitamin D by showing MORE skin! Because you really ain’t doing your body any favors by just wearing your t-shirt and jeans.
I made the same mistake too!
I thought I was solid with vitamin D since a) I lived in San Diego, and b) I was quite active outdoors – exposing my face, forearms, and legs. But, then my doctor brought me back to reality by informing me that my vitamin D serum was 29.3 ng/mL. Ideally you want to sustain a level of 50-70 ng/mL year-round.
Basically…I lived in sunny San Diego and I had a vitamin D deficiency – that’s just CRAY CRAY! Even more crazy, it’s pretty much the norm without people knowing it.
