You’ll hear A LOT of “wellness” folks telling you to start a diet or do a weird cleanse or something that makes you think you need to change something about yourself at the beginning of a new year. Well you aren’t hearing that from me! Not this year or any year.

I bet you are doing GREAT and my only suggestion this new year is that you should focus more on YOUR own happiness! AND I’ve got two great suggestions to help you do just that in my latest column for The Herald-Dispatch!

Check it out! Psst… don’t tell HD, but this column is so important that if you don’t have a subscription and aren’t able to read it just shoot me a DM and I’ll send it to you for FREE!

I usually write a column this time of year suggesting that you stay away from things like harsh cleanses and too-good-to-be-true health trends. All that is still true this year,

We got our Novavax Boosters today! No prescription needed in basically all states at this point, WV included thankfully! No appointment needed, just asked for our preferred booster, filled out a tiny bit of paperwork and in no time we were all boosted up!

I have been fascinated by the plant-based adjuvant that Novavax, or Nuvaxovid as it’s called now, uses since before it was even available. They use a highly purified extract of saponins from the Quillaja saponaria, aka Soapbark tree to activate a stronger immune response from our body’s immune system. How cool is that? AND the data seems to suggest that this vaccine might even offer longer protection than the other options available.

Also we noticed much less temporary side effects with it, so we’ve chosen Novavax as our last three boosters! Unfortunately COVID is still around, but the options for protection are getting better! Talk to your doctor and see if this boost is right for you!

Here’s to more plant-derived ingredients! 🌱💉

Stay healthy and happy out there y’all!
