I am a warm temperature gal through and through. I grew up in the south-central part of Arizona and moved to southern California a number of years ago, so my body has very little experience with cold weather – and I like it that way. I rarely turn on my AC in the hot summer […]
I am going to cut right to the chase here: I am absolutely, positively obsessed with Further Food’s Collagen Peptides. It is probably the number one product that I use the most regularly – I use it every single day without fail. Collagen is made primarily of three amino acids—proline, hydroxyproline and glycine.

Matcha contains L -Theanine, a phytonutrient that has the […]
Have you heard the idea that we can “starve” our cancer cells? I am not only talking about limiting the harmful foods that fuel their growth.
