My husband and I have been obsessed with this salad lately. It's grilled chicken, blue cheese, eggs, avocado, cucumbers, and tomatoes on a bed of romaine. I make homemade ranch dressing to drizzle on top.

This is full of good fat, protein, and life giving goodness. It's a meal that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized.

Eating healthy can be delicious and beautiful.

As a Somatic Healing Practitioner, I can help you with releasing emotions from the body.

I have mind-body integration techniques to teach you, I can do craniosacral work on you , and/or you can come in for a somatic yoga session.

Another typical lunch of mine.

Raw milk, sourdough bread with alfalfa sprouts and hummus, and a salad with homemade dressing. Eating healthy can taste good and look good too.

Metals in our food can cause many symptoms of health concerns like neurological issues, kidney and liver concerns, cognitive decline, and cancer.

This post is not meant to be a diagnosis. It is just information for your further study on this topic if you choose.

Contact me if you would like to discuss how to heal from heavy metals overload.

Butter chicken! I show you this because I want to highlight that homemade is best. When making a dish like this, it's easy to grab the bottle of premade sauce off the grocery store shelf, but STOP and read the label first. If it's full of crap (I found one containing Polysorbate 80, which is known to cause many health issues), it is not worth buying!

Buy the spices needed for this dish and make it yourself. It actually tastes better than takeout and the store bought version.

Eating healthy can be delicious and beautiful to look at.

This is a typical salad I like to eat for lunch on most days of the week. It's arugula, spinach, cucumbers, egg, avocado, h**p seeds, sunflower seeds, and blueberries. I sprinkled on kelp flakes, salt, pepper, ACV, and EVOO to finish it off.

For all of my Jackson County followers, here is a list of the Interfaith Shelter's needs.

We’re so grateful for the way our community continues to show up for our shelter and those we serve. ❤️ With all the rain we’ve been getting lately, items like ponchos are especially helpful right now—along with the other essentials listed below!

You’ll also see some $10 gift cards included. We use these as small rewards when individuals reach milestones within their Progress Plans.

If it’s easier, you can shop directly from our Amazon wishlist and have items shipped to the shelter:

Thank you for helping us meet immediate needs. We truly couldn’t do this without you!
