Baby Steps to Heathy Living

Everyone’s idea of eating healthy is different and so are each individual’s tastes and desires. Then when you consider different blood types, possible food allergies or intolerance, and blood sugar issues, you’ll plainly see that “one size fits all” does NOT apply to the diet.

Anyone looking to this website for nutritional guidance will, at the very least, agree that the Standard American Diet (SAD) is truly making our bodies SAD. I created this website a few years ago as a “transitional” meeting place for those to find resources, get recipes, maybe even to spark a little curiosity.

You won’t find hard core rigid rules here about being ONLY vegan or going 100% raw. What you will find here is gentle reminders, inspirations, and hopefully contagious humor that will inspire you to treat your body with care.

I’m a firm believer that anything you feel too rigid about or any strict diet that leaves you feeling deprived will not serve your goals for achieving vibrant health. I also know that some people prefer to move mountains over night and some like to shovel their way through slowly at their own pace. Both of these can work beautifully when balanced in harmony.

I am in no way here to tell you what I think will work best for you… only your body knows that! I am here to share my enthusiasm and offer suggestions of fresh new ways to liven up your food. I am here to inspire you, to motivate you and possibly rock your “kitchen” world a bit.

In this section you will learn ways to transform a few favorite comfort foods that may be lacking a little on the nutrition scale, or may even be putting some unwanted pounds on your bathroom scale. Of course it’s the scale, not your food.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy your read. Most importantly: enjoy your body as you read, be grateful for the health that you have. Be grateful for the resources we have today and KNOW that you can achieve vibrant health. It is yours to have!

I am pleased to announced that my chef buddy, Judd Faircloth, and I have a RAW HOLIDAY recipe & lifestyle book that will be available here online November 1st. Find me on facebook for any Q&As you may have. I'd be delighted to hear from you!
