    Your bowel movements.

    Didn’t see that one comin’, did ya??  Seriously folks, this tip is a long time coming.  It’s one of the most embarrassing thing for people to talk about, and I’m still not 100% comfortable blogging about it, but it can’t be brushed under the rug any longer.  So many things about your health can be gleaned from your regularity.  What goes in must come out, so if you’re eating 3 times a day or more, and only “going” once every 3 days…something is amiss.  For...

    Get lots of duct tape?

    Sorry guys.  I don’t know a thing about earthquake preparedness.  However, I do know that if the Mayans were right, then I need to have a few more weekends like this past one before our time’s up!  The hubster and I took a trip to Boston to visit some friends and had such a great weekend.  Sometimes I forget how good it feels to re-connect with an old friend and spend time with people who are just “feel good” folks.  It’s good to break the habit of work – dinner – TV...

    Western society is backwards in many ways.  We eat too little for breakfast, and too much for dinner.  We sleep too soft and work too hard. We have government subsidies for the foods that cause the most chronic problems (wheat, corn, soy) and make getting life-saving vegetables more difficult than getting a life-robbing Big Mac.

    One large factor that could help reduce your risk of chronic disease is to take stock of your alkaline vs. acidic levels, in otherwords, your pH.  When our pH is too low, or acidic, we’re at risk for many...

    “I just don’t have the energy.”  Sound familiar?  I’ve been feeling this way myself recently, hence the lack of writing.  Everything just feels like a chore, and when it feels like a chore, I just don’t want to do it.  I’ve been lacking inspiration recently, mostly because I’ve been getting so downtrodden over the state of the world – debt crisis, greedy politicians, the FDA’s crack down on poor little old walnuts, Norway, and the usual rape and pillage that’s been plaguing us for...
