Getting a physical with a CBC, insulin level and basic thyroid panel is great place to start. After that, baby steps of improvement on a daily basis create powerful change in a very positive way. Feel free to let me know if I can help in any way! Thanks so much, Hazel. Getting a physical with a CBC, insulin level and basic thyroid panel is great place to start.

Since I’ve never really shared the road that led me here, I thought it made sense to share a bit about my history. In the simplest terms, I do what I do because I love it. There is no greater joy than helping someone heal and regain health, especially if that person hasn’t been able to find help elsewhere. Have you heard the old saying about never working a day in your life if you love what you do? I’m living that dream. I’m incredibly, wonderfully grateful to have been given a gift that allows me to help others. For more information about my philosophy, read my post, How I’m Different from Other Practitioners.

Thanks! We buy deli meat that is preservative and nitrate free. Meijer groceries carry a version that is, as do most health food stores, Whole Foods, etc. I recommend using organic butter. I prefer unsalted unless the label specifically says sea salt was used. We store our "active" stick of butter on the counter and keep the backups in the fridge. When I can get it, I buy raw butter from local Amish farmers. It has an amazing taste and is loaded with enzymes and probiotics. I highly recommend it! There are a wide variety of non-soy dairy alternatives available. The most common ones include almond, coconut, hemp, oat, etc. I always buy the unsweetened variety and add my own stevia if sweetness is needed. Thanks so much! Those are all great questions! Thanks!

If you want to make sure the lunch meat you buy is nitrate-free how do you ask for it? what do you ask the deli person? What kind of butter does one look for? How do you store it? in the fridge or not? If one is to drink non dairy, one usually chooses Soy drinks. If not soy then what? I was aware of the deli meat thing you mentioned.
