In episode 9, I am sharing information about how to use certain herbs to help protect or recover from a cold or flu.

Things are getting pretty busy over here.  The amount of "free time" I can carve out is getting smaller but that always happens around this time of year.  I'm trying to really hard to keep up my weekly health podcasts but sometimes it get's hard so what I'm going to do is promise that I will do my best to get them out each and every week however, it is not likely going to be on the same day or same time slots.  Thankfully you can subscribe via iTunes or Follow this blog and you'll be notified when a new update occurs, that's cool!  I won't feel too bad since I won't be messing up your schedule by being late.  Thank you for innerstanding, this is all a process.  It is not easy to share on many levels, through many companies and nurture all your passions at the same time but because they are all important to me I am doing my best!

Since the "cold and flu season" is upon us I want to take some time to provide you with a few herbs that will either help strengthen your immune system so you can protect yourself from getting a cold/virus or at the very least help to make it go away naturally!  By keeping the herbs I share on hand you can make sure to "catch the cold before it catches you".

With that being said I hope you are able to take away a few tips that help you to improve your current situation because honestly, we can all use some help every now and then!

In episode 8, I am sharing information about how to go back to the health basics and build a strong foundation.

I missed you all last week; I took a week off to get acclimated to my new schedule and now I'm back in action!  There seems to be a surge in the number of people who want to "get healthy" however it is unfortunate because many of these people are looking for a shortcut or a quick fix, and they want to know the "secret" to being healthy, losing weight and having more energy.  In this week's Growing Closer to Nature podcast, I share my thoughts on how to achieve health and keep it by building a strong foundation which I believe is the "secret".

With that being said I hope you are able to take away a few tips that help you to improve your current situation because honestly, we can all use some help every now and then!

LINKS/TOOLS

In this podcast I talk a little bit about the following:

* Everyone wants shortcuts and to know "the secret", so what are they?

* Building blocks

* Start where you are

* State your main goal.  What does optimal health mean to you?

* Break your main goal down into smaller goals.

* What motivates you, we are not all motivated by the same things.

* What is the reason one person is able to accomplish their goals in what seems to be easy, while others struggle to reach their goals?

* Perspective

* Mindset/Attitude

* Effort/Actual work

* The ability to self-motivate and or reach out when you need motivation

* Be real, stop hiding, no one is perfect and though people may judge know that the only judgment that truly matters at the end of the day is that of your higher self.

In episode 7, I am sharing information about why putting labels on the way you eat could be dangerous and result in overeating.

First and foremost I want to continue giving thanks to the teachings of Dr. Sebi.  The truths he's shared with us about nature, plants, herbs, and life have given us more than enough.  It is up to each of us that hold plants/herbs in high regards, to continue paving the path that he cleared.

While I did not follow his teachings 100% I will never forget what he shared with us all.  As I travel down my path, I continue adding things that serve my body well and remove things that do not. I have made it my life's work to share the health benefits that nature provides and to help each person to find what is best for them to live a healthy, happy life.

With that being said I hope you are able to take away a few tips that help you to improve your current situation because honestly, we can all use some help every now and then!

LINKS/TOOLS

In this podcast I talk a little bit about the following:

* Dr. Sebi's passing and what it means to me

* Labels, what are they good for?

* Labels are a way to identify something

* Labels are great when they are on your food products

* Labels are not so good when they define who you are and what you eat

* Labeling the way we eat can cause stress and over-eating

* New offering monthly business ad space rentals for more information and to purchase.

In episode 5, I am talking about how to improve your oral health naturally.

*We apologize for the delay unfortunately, we were having some issue with our website this week and therefore this podcast is being posted a little later than normal.

 

I am sharing my story about the important lessons I've learned that not only prevent dental issues but can improve existing issues!  While the tips and information I share with you can definitely help improve your oral health, it is important to remember that health, oral or otherwise begins with what you are eating.  Eating the right foods will provide your body with vitamins and minerals necessary to keep your system in balance.  Please remember that sugar, any form (even from fruit and starch) depletes the vitamins and minerals you consume so watching your sugar intact levels is very important in the process of healing oral health, dental issues and any other health challenges you may be facing.

With that being said I hope you are able to take away a few tips that help you to improve your current situation because honestly, we can all use some help every now and then!

In episode 4, I am talking about how to eat well on a tight budget.

When you are trying to eat well on a tight budget sometimes it seems impossible but I assure you, it is not!  When I say eat well, I am referring to eating foods that provide you with the vitamin and mineral content which help to build, protect, and strengthen your body.  When I began my journey of eating well I had to undo a lot of bad habits and learn how to replace the so-called foods I craved with something that was beneficial and tasted just as good if not better.  After many years of trial and error, I have learned many techniques that have helped me to save a lot of money and eat only organic and nom-gmo foods.  In this episode, I break down a few of the techniques that I use and share how you can do it too.

With that being said I hope you are able to take away a few tips that help you to improve your current situation because honestly, we can all use some help every now and then!

In this podcast I talk a little bit about the following:

* Growing a few things you eat a lot of, like herbs

* Saving seed and regrowing from what you've already purchased

* Bartering and trading plants/foods and nonfood items

* Saving money by ditching the packaging
