My husband is s pretty observant guy. And I like that.
As you could imagine we talk all the time about our observations of people's shopping, eating and health habits. We decide that really and truly, people know what they should and should not be eating but they don't think that it applies to their health. they get lucky and live until 90 or get unlucky and die young. The unfortunate thing is that it takes too long to see the affects of our bad behavior and by the time we do start to feel bad and get sick we think that it is natural aging or maybe a genetic defect. One of my husband's best comments to date on this subject came when we were discussing cars...which we do a lot....he made the observation that the vast majority of people take much better care of their cars than they do their own body You would never see a person pour Mountain Dew into the gas tan of even the most inexpensive car and expect it to start right up and drive on down the road. But that is what the vast majority of people do with their food. They dump soda, coffee, processed foods that contain chemicals, additives, dyes and foods and I use that term loosely and are shocked that they have cancer, heart issues, problems concentrating, sleeping, skin and digestive issues. They wonder why their kids have behavioral problems and can't focus and concentrate. Your putting Mountain Dew in your gas tank - come on! You sure want that car to run well make it to work everyday, carry you back and forth to the cape into the mountains skiing. Same hold true for your body. You will have to ride in it for the next 60-90 years. Yeah a longer ride is great but wouldn't you like it to be smooth and problem free? No flat tires, leaky radiators or transmission that's slipping - yeah the motor head is rubbing off, I know what these things are. 8-). This is not rocket science but what you eat matters. You have the ability to choose what diseases you get, how you feel, how you function and look. You have a choice. Dont' give that away. You deserve to be Healthy!

So I get asked all the time why women? Why digestion?
I grew up with three brothers, always held jobs where my boss and co-workers were men. Men are easy. They are fun, don't hold grudges and pretty reasonable. So why women? Working with women has a complexity that I adore. They tend to have issues that are not commonly seen with men. They are emotional, deep and want to be heard. When empowered to demand good health and given the knowledge and the support they need they excel in a way that is really exciting to see. There is a camaraderie that I can't find in men. Maybe because I am a woman. We have a universal experience that we share with all the women that came before us. We are giving and nurturing and need someone to affirm that our health holds an importance that our busy life seems to ignore. We need an advocate that gives us permission to put our health at the forefront of our priorities. A healthy digestion is a key to good health. Without the ability to absorb nutrients efficiently and eliminate waste and toxin we function at a diminished capacity reducing our potential to achieve are life passions and goals. I love to help women customized food and lifestyle choices that support their need to address their digestive issues in a natural and permanent way. My mission is to show women that conventional medicine does not always hold the most affective and natural remedy for their digestive issues. The body will heal itself if given the right conditions. I am here to support my clients to create those conditions. Let me know if I can help you. You deserve to be Healthy! Magnesium
In a perfect world, we would get all the vitamins and minerals we need from the food we eat. Well this isn't a perfect world and much of what we eat is nutrient deficient. I rarely recommend supplements to my clients though I feel very strongly about a few. Magnesium is one I whole-heartedly advise my clients to take. Having had constipation issues for most of my life, I set out on a journey to find just the right combination of foods, exercise, fluid in-take and supplements that would get and keep me regular. Magnesium is a huge component in that formula. Besides supporting the elimination phase of digestion magnesium does a ton of other important things to keep you healthy. The vast majority of adults are magnesium deficient. Here's why. Processed foods lack magnesium! Processing and cooking foods depletes many needed nutrients. You need a certain amount of stomach acid to absorb calcium and magnesium. Certain conditions as well as antacids deplete your stomach acids. Some foods are high in oxalic and phytic acid and block the absorption of magnesium. Junk food is lacking in magnesium. Food is grown in magnesium deficient soil. Many prescription drugs cause a magnesium deficiency. Here's what to do - Eat a portion of your vegetables raw. If cooking - steam quickly so they are still crispy. Avoid eating Swiss chard, soy beans, and spinach on a regular basis as they contain oxalic acid that inhibits absorption of some key vitamins and minerals. Avoid junk food. Support organic farming. They understand the importance of the health of the soil and so their vegetables are more rich in nutrients. Eat whole, organic fruits, vegetables and clean protein. Supplement your diet with magnesium. The power of Magnesium.... (and these are just a few...) Helps with anxiety, depression, adrenal health and serotonin production. Improve or eliminate muscle pain. Protects against the toxic effects of chemicals such as food additives. Is a blood thinner keeping things flowing and preventing vessel spasms. Relaxes head and neck muscles that make migraines worse. Helps to prevent muscle spasms of the heart blood vessels thus preventing heart attacks. Reduces calcium build-up in arteries. Increases bowel function which reduces toxicity and increases the efficiency of the absorption of nutrients. As with any supplements it is important to do your research into how they will interact with the medications you are taking as well how this supplement will effect other conditions that you may have.
