Did you know that the US vaccine schedule is among the heaviest in the world? Check this out…from infancy to 18 years old, people receive: 1950’s – 4 vaccines 1980’s – up to 20 vaccines 1990’s – up to 40 vaccines Today – up to 69 vaccines And honestly, what concerns me the most about this is that children today seem to deal with many more health conditions than they did 50+ years ago.

My Morning Essential Oil Routine
When my family and I first started using essential oils, I had no idea that they did more than just help with symptoms from sickness. I had a basic knowledge of how they could support our immune system, but we mostly used them for headaches, tummy aches and the common cold. However, a few years later and after a lot of research and a million bottles used…ok maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration…I can’t even believe the power that these ...
Homemade Gummy Candies
Homemade gummy candies are a wonderful immune boosting treat for kids, particularly because they are made with grass-fed beef gelatin. Gelatin is an incredible nutrient to help support healthy gut and healthy brain function, and because 85% of our immune system is located in the gut, this is especially important! These gummies are incredibly easy to make and can be flavored to your liking. Also, store them in the refrigerator to help ...

It started with my sharing with other cancer moms and how they could use the oils to help their mood and anxiety levels, as well as, to help their child minimize the side effects of treatment. This sharing turned into my teaching classes out of our home and inviting neighbors, friends and family to join in. And before I knew it, I ...
My Morning Power Hour
Did you know that a person's brain is at its optimal time to learn and be most creative in the first part of the morning when they have just woken up? Unfortunately, statistics also show that the majority of people start their morning off checking their phone, which immediately inhibits the mind's ability to be used at max capacity. I have also read and heard how some of the most successful people in the world start their mornings in ...
What Would You Do If Your Child Was Diagnosed With Cancer?
One week before Thanksgiving, 2013, my almost 3-year-old baby boy stopped walking. He had been complaining of back pain, leg pain and tummy aches off and on for about a month, but we shrugged it off as nothing more than the 'terrible two's." Then, one day he stopped walking...like he literally began crawling and would say his legs hurt too bad to walk. I remember walking into my room, closing the door and calling my friend and ...
How Eating More Fat Will Reduce Your Stress & Improve Your Libido
It should not come as a surprise that the current environment in which most of us live or work is stressful! Whether it is financial stress, the stress of caring for an ill family member, the demands of parenting, or high expectations placed upon us from our work place, we consistently are in a "fight or flight" mode. Ultimately, this contributes to poor physical and mental health. I have always prided myself on handling stress fairly ...
