FOOD IS MEDICINE
As science advances, the evidence supporting the notion that food is indeed medicine becomes more compelling. It’s increasingly clear that what we consume can profoundly impact both our mental and physical well-being. While many are aware that the vitamins and minerals in food provide nourishment, have you considered how your individual genetic coding influences which foods are beneficial for you and which ones you should avoid?

2-Pounds A Month: A Plan For Successful and Permanent Weight-Loss
If you think two pounds a month is not worth bothering with, think again. Studies have shown that weight gain in adults happens slowly, at a rate of approximately 1 pound per year. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that their bodies are changing and getting heavier until they’ve added 10-30 pounds onto their frame and wonder how it happened. A 5-10 percent weight loss can have considerable health benefits, including a five-point increase in good HDL cholesterol while lowering bad LDL cholesterol and decreasing one’s risk of heart disease. Losing this weight may also improve weight-related sleep apnea, lower blood pressure and reduce inflammatory substances circulating in the blood.

MY STORY
My journey into a healthy lifestyle started early, growing up on the California coast surrounded by various versions of “health food.” We indulged in the abundance of Southern California, feasting on avocados, citrus fruits, berries, and greens. Exercise was woven into our daily routine, living near the beach meant playing in the surf and biking everywhere.
However, adulthood brought health issues—stress, anxiety, and a declining diet. After giving birth to my son, I found myself fragile and lacking vitality. The turning point came when my son was four, and I faced a health crisis: MS, mercury poisoning, and a prognosis of wheelchair-bound life.
Later, Hashimoto’s disease and Lupus joined the mix, categorized as Autoimmune Syndrome. As a single mother, the need for health to sustain a job and care for my son fueled my determination to heal through diet and lifestyle.
