Recently I was called to Jury Duty, involving a long early-morning drive to my downtown Courthouse and an uncertain number of hours away from home.  The problem?  What to take for food!

The solution?

The day before, I cooked two grass-fed burger patties. I froze one, and packed the other in a BPA-free plastic container with lots of veggies and some bacon.  Before I left the house, I put the frozen burger in another container with frozen green beans and a baggie of soaked and dried nuts (the best type of nuts, as the anti-nutrients are removed), and put it in a waterproof sleeve along with an avocado.  I added a plastic knife, fork, spoon, and napkins.

You may already know that elevated uric acid levels cause gout - painful inflammation of the joints, especially in the hands and feet.  But did you know that uric acid can serve as a marker for fructose toxicity?

One of the by-products of fructose metabolism is uric acid, so when you consume too much table sugar, high fructose corn syrup, agave nectar, sweetened sodas, or fruit juices, your uric acid levels rise. Elevated uric acid is thought to explain much of the damage fructose causes in your body.

You have supplements at home, right?  Do you know what each of them does? And when it expires?  If you feel an allergy attack coming on, do you know how to get to the right support easily?

The same is true for prescriptions.  They should be labelled as to what they are for.  I am continually amazed at how little many clients know about the drugs they are on - what they are for, if it's a high dose or a low dose, and what the side effects are.  But that's another story.....

Here's a baked omelet recipe using my favorite canned salmon from VITAL CHOICE .  I love their canned salmon, sardines, tuna, & macadamia oil!  You will too! Click the name to shop, or go to their link on The Store page here on my website. Enjoy!

I have read that 30 % of us have a genetic mutation regarding the inability to use the B Vitamin Folic Acid.  This is important for pregnant moms, but it also relates to every one of us and our predisposition to heart disease. Here's why....

Homocysteine is a dangerous byproduct of everyday metabolism in the body.  Normally, our B Vitamins break Homocysteine down and it becomes harmless.  But when our intestinal health is compromised from years of sugars, starches, antibiotics, acid-blockers and stress, we don't make enough B Vitamins, and the liver doesn't convert them properly to their active form.

One of my all-time favorite products is called OZENE.  The name has changed over the years, but the product has not.

Ozene is ozonated olive oil.  Ozone (similar to pure oxygen) is bubbled through extremely pure olive oil for several days.  The oil retains the ozone as long as it is tightly capped and refrigerated.
