I just love love love this product, and think it should be a staple for most everyone's supplement protocol. Even a seemingly perfect diet these days is void of so many minerals due to the depleted soil.

Bonus: Spanish Black Radish is a great source (one of the best) of the metabolites that make sulforaphane in the body (which aids in detoxification, liver support, etc). But another great source is Broccoli Sprouts! Check out my previous blog post all about growing your own broccoli sprouts in just a couple days at home! And of course, when in doubt, just eat your cruciferous veggies, which all contain these phytonutrients supporting liver health and detoxification.

Oh, and if you can't find organic livers in your local grocery store, I get mine from US Wellness Meats online.

In 2008, I was introduced to the company, Standard Process (SP), via a holistic healing wellness center where I worked at the front desk. I became familiar with the products, fell in love with their healing capabilities, and knew that I needed to learn more about them. So when I moved to Northern California in 2009, one of my first business moves was to open my own account with the company. Back then, I really only used the products that directly supported my fitness goals, like their multivitamin (Catalyn), protein powder (SP Complete), and the 21 Day Purification Program. But my knowledge quickly grew, as I followed some specific healing protocols that helped me overcome some of my own pretty crazy health issues that I previously thought only conventional medicine could help with.

Fast forward 16 years, and thousands of hours of learning, healing, practicing, and helping others later, and I received my first invitation to visit the Standard Process farm in Palmyra,...

As we enter "back to school" season, where within the first few weeks it seems like every child gets sick (and then brings it home to the rest of the house), it's important that we do what we can to boost our immune system. Yes, vitamins, sleep, and getting certain nutrients is super important for immune health, but did you know that MOVEMENT is essential as well? 

You mean, exercise is important for things other than weight loss?! 

If you've been with me long enough, you know that the benefits of exercise are so great, and most have nothing to do with our weight! One, sometimes forgotten, benefit of movement/exercise, is its relationship to our lymphatic system, and the resulting impact on our immune health. 

Your lymphatic system is a part of the body's defense against disease and plays a role in immune health. It filters waste products (like toxins and pathogens) out of our body, preventing the buildup of harmful substances in the body. Now, unlike the circulatory...

Poop is one of the first things I talk about with all of my nutrition clients, and we talk about it often (like, in every single session). It tells an important story of what's happening on the inside (of the digestive system). So, when my daughter (4 years old at the time) would go for days without pooping, I knew something was up. 

Was she just holding it in because she was scared of the toilet? Was she eating enough fiber in her diet? If you have kids, you know that fruits and veggies may not be their first  choice of snack! Was she drinking enough water? Was her spine out of alignment and she needed to visit a chiropractor? Those were my first thoughts, and the first things I tried working on with her. I tracked her water intake, we talked about if the potty was scary, we started seeing a chiropractor weekly, and I even added in some fiber supplements to her smoothies. And yet, with all of this effort, still crickets. No poop. She would go up to a week without pooping....
