So what is the actual deal with sugar and why does it hold such a tight grip over us? I’ve been asking myself this in preparation to write an article on how ‘god awful bad sugar is’. In my own reflections, maybe I do  do a little better.  I avoid processed, refined sugar and high fructose corn syrups.  I mostly bake with the more “natural” forms of sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, dates, and organic cane sugar, and make homemade treats for the family so that it’s my hand and choice in how much sugar pours into our food, but if I’m being honest, I still have way more sugar in my life than I know is good for me. So, where do I go from here?

“…when someone asks, “should I be eating this?” or “I always eat this. Is that bad?”, the answer should most always be “IT DEPENDS”. That can be annoying to hear, but it’s the truth when looking at bio individual health and taking a truly holistic approach.”

In the last 30 to 40 years, we’ve made some progress in the health industry when it comes to fats. There is A LOT of information to sift through about good fats and bad fats, and many contradicting studies too. We’d like to share a brief history of fat in the human diet, what we believe are the best fats and oils for our health, how to store and use them, and what to steer clear from.

How can we show up for ourselves and others with enthusiasm in our everyday lives?

We want to share some of our GO TO’s when it comes to amping up energy levels, preventing burnout and feeling whole again, so we can show up for ourselves and others each day. These tools we are sharing are simple, free daily habits you can start to introduce into your life. The impact of these small daily habits and intentions can be extraordinary.

Turmeric, also called “yellow ginger” is actually a part of the ginger family of plants and the part of the turmeric plant that we use for cooking or medicine is the rhizome of the plant, which is the fleshy root system. Turmeric is used in everything from the now trending ‘turmeric latte’, to teas, to curries, pastes, and poultices, as a digestive aid, for flaky skin, and for inflammatory conditions like psoriasis, dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disorders, to name a few.

We are what we eat. Well, not literally — we don't turn into a bag of potato chips when we smash that bag of Salt & Vinegar, but there is a direct relationship between how our body reacts to the foods we choose to eat.

TL; DR: Plant-based eating isn’t just a fad; it’s here to stay.

Plant-based diets are everywhere — it has become THE trend, a super cool way of life. What a shift! So, is plant-based just a TREND? Or is it something more?
