When I was at my sickest, or even now when I need better nutrition, I often lean on nutritional powders. They help my energy levels and my general health when my diet is not at its best. I also find them to be a great tool when traveling, as making the best food choices can be hard. Oftentimes, I did not get enough nutrition because I lacked the energy to prepare food, and other times it was because we needed to get to the store. This helps me fill in those gaps, and I try t

BPPV is an inner ear disorder that causes episodes of vertigo when changing head positions. It was an awful experience for me personally and seemed to come on after I had a viral issue.

Described by Healthline ( https://www.healthline.com/health/benign-positional-vertigo) "BPV is the result of a d

I do somatic therapy every week, as it's covered by my insurance. I wanted to share this tip because it really helped me. Before I took a trip, I was super nervous because I had not traveled for about 10 years and I was super concerned about how my body would handle it. I didn't want to slow anyone down or ruin one moment of my family's time. I admit I tend to be more of a hyper person, and my nervous system can get wound up very easily. Part of this is just my personality a

Sweet proteins are basically nature’s candy. They taste like sugar but dige

Supportive Oligonucleotide Technique (SOT) is a treatment for some infections. Over the last few years, it has grown in popularity as a treatment for Lyme Disease in particular. However, there are mixed and conflicting results and feedback on SOT for Lyme. We are always hopeful. We are not promoting or discouraging it's use but want to cover the subject for our members.

I love making soups. I use the crockpot and make a lot to cover several types of meals. I use broth as my base with herbs and garlic. I add veggies I have on hand and cook 6 to 8 hours. You can throw in meat of choice and shred an hour before serving. When I do vegetable soup, I puree the leftover and use as a healthy base for chili by adding additional seasoning and beans or ground beef/Turkey. Or I use the base and cook chicken in it the next day plus seasoning to

People always say I make the absolute best rice. Maybe this recipe is common knowledge but whenever I taste it elsewhere, I think mine is way better. Omit any ingredient you are sensitive to, unless it is rice, because then it becomes soup I think lol. 1 cup Jasmine rice lightly toasted in 1 1/2 tablespoon butter or plant based butter Then add: 1/8 cup chopped onion (I omit now and still equally delicious) 1 clove chopped garlic 2 cups veggie broth (or you can use chicken)
