Dear nourishing hero Reader, How does a song go viral, or a new restaurant pick up customers so fast? The definition of collective consciousness: is a sociological concept that refers to common ideas, attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge that are shared amongst a social group, organization, or society.

Dear nourishing hero Reader, Why is it that some days we feel we can take on anything and then others we want to stay curled up in a ball? As an avid seeker, trying ANYTHING new to feel hope and satisfaction, and wanting to be saved from outside sources, health protocols, diets, the next NEW thing or you name it, I decided to lay down the seeking addict in me and replace this by learning and practicing self-trust. These manic emotions, anxiety, co-dependent insecurities, and desperate...

Dear nourishing hero Reader, I began my nutrition career, 30 years ago due to major digestive distress as a young person and adult. I claimed myself to be a digestion expert. Well, I have news for us, our hormones change EVERY 7 years, so what we once knew may have worked, may not now. And some of you may know, that healing and health isn't a straight line, it can throw us some doozy curve balls along the way. However, there is a WAY to detangle and problem-solve with ease. A dear friend is...

Dear nourisher Reader, I celebrated my 50th Birthday with heaps of friends in a beach house and a sunset sail around San Diego Bay on a sailboat. I wanted to embrace some extra decadence and to feel loved. CHECK! We had a satiating brunch consisting of quiche, watermelon, croissants, and homemade carrot cookies with cream cheese frosting from my Grandma's recipe book. I had friends come from all of the decades of my life. My kindergarten, high school, college, and all of the adventures in...

Dear nourisher Reader, I DID it! By accident:) So, I ate a great brunch the other day and then went along with my day staying curious if I was hungry or when I wanted to eat again. I had a handful of strawberries and cucumber, oh yay, and a kombucha. Then at 8:45, I decided to call it a day with “food”. I broke my light fast the next day with buckwheat bread a fun probiotic cream cheese, a few cherry tomatoes, and sprouts. Did I do it perfectly?!! Heck ya! Because we are the rules:) The old...

Dear nourisher Reader, What if someone gave you a six-month nutrition protocol and promised you it would work if you follow it? Do you believe it would work? Do you believe it may not work? I know these programs, they are awesome, well-researched, and have complete validity. So why don't we follow them? Do they feel too extreme? Or have we done them before and been let down? The emotional component may be missing or you shut down that part of you to just get through the program to achieve it....
