Should you consider switching up your coffee game?

Did you know that coffee is one of the most liquids on the planet? I love coffee but it did not love me back and that is the case for most people. If you do not want to sacrifice your morning cup of jo, then read on!

This has been my everyday, saving grace staple! King is an organic coffee with 100% organic Ganoderma Spore powder. It tastes amazing and contains anti-inflammatory and mood-boosting properties. I consume 1-3 cups every single day, I bring it with me everywhere I go because I cannot miss a day!

Do you need to cleanse/ detox?

“If you have a pulse, you have parasites.” Dr Todd Watts creator of Cellcore Bioscience

It seems to be more often than not, the signs and symptoms of being infected with a parasite, heavy metals, or mold, can mimic common illnesses or health issues. The most common ones being autoimmune diseases, thyroid disorders, constipation (IBS), Lyme disease, SIBO, candida, adrenal fatigue, and the list goes on!

The SUPERFOOD you probably are not eating, ORGAN MEAT!

Looking back at my formative years, I think about the many memories (good and bad) that surrounded my family kitchen. Every night we’d come together to cook, eat and talk about our day. Sometimes we’d fight over who got the first taste of marinara, and other times, my dad would fry up some chicken liver and onions, and it would quite-literally clear the room.

Dad would wrangle us back and make us try it, “just once”, he would say. That small practice of giving new and unfamiliar things a chance helped to shape me into the cook and eater I am today. I attribute so many of my foodie obsessions to dad, from creamy pâté to briny raw oysters.

WINE that does not hurt our health, with a nutrition label to back it up!

Want to drink with no hangover or nasty side effects? Well, did you know not all wine is created equal. Just like the food industry, shortcuts start to take place when there is an increase in production. Commercially made wine can cause excess sugar, preservatives, and other harmful ingredients that are added to enhance flavor and aging. To be exact, the wine companies can legally use over 70 added chemicals AND what is left is your big fat hangover!

Spice up your VIDA with my new spices!

If you know me you know quality is a huge factor in anything I put in, on or around my body. From food to my sheets, it’s all about reducing toxins and increasing the good guys that boost our immune system, especially right now. Spices are not all created equal. Just like how you choose organic local veggies, wild-caught fish, grass-fed meats, it is same same. Have you ever considered your spice cabinet could be filled with toxins, heavy metals, GMOs, rancid ingredients, and inflammatory toxins?

The Skinny with Lauryn on Pregnancy, Fasting, Cravings, Keto, and Supplements

I am so excited to share an amazing interview with someone who introduced me to the world of blogging. I was able to connect with Lauryn and get the inside from the The Skinny Confidential, , whom I've been lucky enough to know for many years, about her nutrition and pregnancy journey. She's a badass entrepreneur, soon-to-be-mommy and someone who I look up to. We discussed morning routines, vitamins she's taking, her personal journey to getting pregnant, cravings, and her birth plan (or no plan) all topics that I talk about in more detail in my Mexican Keto Cookbook.

My Must-Haves For a Healthy Holiday Season

I find that as soon as summer comes to an end and the holiday season kicks off my clients start to stress about getting sick, gaining weight and what the heck to cook. Some rush into a new gym routine, others order take-out to save time, and the smart ones ask me what to do.
