Oh, if I had a time machine and could return to when our kids were young, I would.

I made my life complicated because I made our meals complicated.

Let me explain: I became a mom at 40. I married Steve, who had two precious (most of the time ) daughters. So, I became an instant mom to two preteens, and as a bonus, I could finally use my nutrition training on my family. Hmmm...do you see any potential problems?

I would make elaborate, nutrient-dense multi-course meals. These meals were so much work that I was almost too tired to eat or clean the kitchen.

When the kids complained that the lunches I packed could feed three of their friends, it didn't faze me a bit.

But they were so much work!

We would order pizza if I was running late from work and couldn't make the elaborate meals. I couldn't seem to find the middle ground.

As I shared this story with today's podcast guest, Dr. Tabatha Barber, she explained that most of her meals can be put together in 20 minutes or less—I say YES to that idea!

Dr. Tabatha is the author of Fast To Faith, a best-selling book that contains her 20-minute or less recipes.

Ground Luxe

When I was forced into menopause with my cancer diagnosis, restful sleep NO LONGER HAPPENED FOR ME.

One of my podcast guests shared that he has become a great sleeper, partly thanks to grounding sheets.

After my skepticism passed, my desperation to sleep took over. I started reading articles, and I discovered that the science is solid. Studies have shown that participants using grounding sheets experience a significant drop in cortisol levels, leading to improved sleep quality and reduced stress.

What did I have to lose? I researched, found the best grounding sheets on the market for the best price, and bought them.

It took me a few nights, but I sleep much deeper now. I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling refreshed! I wish someone had told me about these sheets years ago.

I contacted the company, and they offered my community a 20% discount!

Air Dr.

I've been using the Air Doctor air purifier for almost a year and absolutely love it! I first heard about it from Dr. Mark Hyman, and even though it was a bit of a splurge compared to what I usually spend, I'm so glad I invested. Every time I change the filter and see all the gunk it collects, I smile, knowing it's doing a great job keeping my air clean!

And I'm so happy that all that gunk isn't going into my body ;)

What a treat to have Dr. Tabatha Barber, author of the best-selling book Fast To Faith, on the podcast.

She explained that our bodies function like a chemistry experiment. When we think in a certain way, we produce chemicals that can have positive or negative effects.

I don't know about you, but I do find it shocking that the thoughts I think can create chemical messengers in my body that can heal me or harm me.

You have so much more power than you realize!

We also discussed a topic near and dear to my heart, JOY.

Where's your joy? If we put everyone else first, that will steal your happiness.

Dr. T. explained that we get caught up in the lie that taking care of ourselves is selfish. She said that she felt God tell her that caring for herself wasn't selfish but SELF PRESERVATION.

Dr. Tabatha shared simple tips that can help you to change your mindset and increase your daily joy.

Please enjoy part one of this conversation and join us next week when we talk about 20-minute or less dinners, fasting, and her lifelong battle with depression.

In today’s episode, we are joined by my naturopathic oncologist, Dr. Laura James.

As you listen to our discussion, it's essential to acknowledge the whirlwind that accompanies a cancer diagnosis. For many, including myself, the speed at which treatment unfolds can be both a blessing and a challenge. The urgency of medical intervention, coupled with the support of excellent health insurance and the unique circumstances of the COVID-19 era, can lead to a swift entry into what is commonly referred to as the breast cancer industrial complex.

But what exactly does this term mean? It's a new concept that encompasses medical advancements, institutional processes, and societal expectations surrounding cancer treatment. While grateful for the prompt attention and care received, there's an underlying need to address the implications of this fast-paced medical industry.

For me, and perhaps for many others, navigating the breast cancer industrial complex has raised questions about agency, reflection, and informed decision-making. The speed at which decisions are made can sometimes overshadow the opportunity for thorough consideration, prayer, and seeking second opinions—elements crucial to holistic well-being.

Together with Dr. James, we'll explore the importance of empowerment in the face of medical urgency, the role of advocacy in navigating treatment pathways, and the significance of holistic approaches to cancer care.

Just Add Buoy

Companies contact me every week, asking me to try their products.

Honestly, I get food and supplement samples almost weekly!

Last week, a San Diego company called Just Add Buoy emailed me to ask if I wanted to try their electrolyte formula.

I said yes because I've been looking for an electrolyte formula (without tons of sugar, both fake and real and no dyes) for years.

They sent me some samples, and I must tell you how much I love them.

I'm trying the Hydration Drops, and they have 87 trace minerals, Ionic ocean electrolytes, and antioxidants. And, also important to me, NO SUGAR (FAKE OR REAL), NO ADDITIVES OR DYES. And it's non-GMO.

I like that it's flavorless, and I can add it to a smoothie or even my morning coffee without noticing any flavor change.
