If we can change thoughts at their root, if we can dissolve the burden of buried trauma, can we heal our disease? Louise Hays left us a legacy of tools to heal ourselves. One ...

How Did We Get ADDICTED to “HEALTHY” foods we eat EVERY DAY?

Many people tell me they’ve quit sugar. They eat “Healthy” foods like organic noodles, fried rice, granola bars, chips, and prebiotic sodas. These ultra high-carb foods instantly turn to sugar in the body. So I wonder “What’s the disconnect?” Last week I hosted friends for a week’s visit. They like to snack every 3 hours on sugar or carbs. I said nothing, but it was an AHA! MOMENT! Now I FINALLY understand. Every ADDICTION brings cravings. We feel “hungry” and want more FUEL ...

Xylitol, NOT a low calorie sweetener!

How is Xylitol produced? How does it affect the body? You deserve to know the truth to make an informed choice. ...

Myth-Busting “Natural” Sweeteners. It’s about FRUCTOSE, darlin’!

Is Sunlight Dangerous? For the past 50 years, doctors say we should NEVER be in direct sunlight or risk skin cancer. As a child I basked all summer with no sunscreen.

Uh Oh! Coconut Sugar is 100% Sugar!

Terrible news! Coconut sugar is 100% sugar! You won't feel a glycemic rush, as coconut sugar is relatively low in glucose. But here's the rub: The rest of the sugar is fructose! It's 100% sugar! Just like HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup), fructose in coconut sugar is a liver toxin that causes high cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes (Yup, our top epidemics).
