Statin Drugs
If you are on a statin drug to lower your cholesterol I beg you to watch Barbara Oneill videos and learn about the dangers of said drugs. Cholesterol is what our brain is made out of. Before these drugs were forced on people things like Dementia and Alzheimers were NOT what they are today. We…

Gratitude Day 26
I am very grateful that even though some days are a struggle I face them without medication. I use supplements, I take vitamins, but I have been off of all anxiety medication for 8 years now. There are days where I wish I could numb myself. I wish I could have the help that I…

Glow Up Guide
There’s this IG personality, Nicole Neesby, who I adore. She is a mom, does essential oils, comes from a big family herself… She’s a hoot and a half. I love seeing her content. Well a mutual friend started doing this dirty carnivore diet to heal her relationship with food and help heal her weight. I…

Sunblock
I am suspicious of sunblock. I am also a redhead which means the sun can be brutal. If I use sunblock I try to use the mineral sunscreen that’s less/non toxic and has fewer ingredients that are impossible to pronounce. The other day I was watching a video about skincare and the creator said, “Don’t…

Unpacking My Unhealthy Relationship with Food

Clean Fifteen (Fruits and Veggies)
As opposed to the dirty dozen, the clean fifteen are the safe (conventionally grown) fruits and veggies. The idea behind the clean 15 is that they are less toxic than the dirty dozen even when sprayed with pesticides. So if you don’t buy them organic it’s not going to be as much of a toxic…

The Dirty Dozen (Produce)
Have you heard of the dirty dozen in produce? This is a list of the most pesticide heavy conventionally grown food. When buying produce it’s a good idea to opt for non-gmo organic options. What do these foods have in common? They are directly sprayed, what you eat is the part touched by chemicals. (Meanwhile…

Women in Society
The other day I was listening to a podcast on fasting. Dr. Mindy Pelz is my current hero and she focuses on the different approach women need to take for health because men and women are totally different and have different needs. (Duh.) She said (and she said this as a card carrying feminist)… that…

Stardust – An app for women
If you aren’t a woman OR if you aren’t trying to learn more about women’s things to support someone you love, then this isn’t for you : ) I have an app, recommended by a friend, called Stardust. It’s a cycle tracking app. I love it. It is HILARIOUS. You can get a year of…
