The True Vitamin C = Connection

Last night my cul de sac had it's 7th annual XMAS caroling as a neighborhood and we went with a violinist and cell phone lights to each house and they would open their doors and then get dressed and join us. We ended up next door to just catch up and BE. Someone turned me on to the UTUBE “the lie we live”, have you seen it? My life has been so full and growing and organic and real that I have made myself into someone who doesn't fit into regular society. Funny. I am always amazed at this gift and [...]

We all want happiness. It’s personal. Yet somehow we inherit guidelines on what we perceive nudges it our way…  most of which are not personal at all. These are tribal, familial, cultural, and mostly corporate. This vision of happiness becomes knee-jerk, rather than necessary or thoughtFULL. I think a wise person looks out over their life, as their own curriculum, And sees what feeds their own soul. They honor the bigger picture. They spend elbow grease and time figuring it out. They don’t plow through the decades But take a breath to see the lay of their land. You can feel [...]

Pre-diabetic? Metformin is clearly PROVEN to BOTH prevent and delay progress to diabetes. It's silly to not try it. It is taken orally and takes a while to build up to the optimal dose.

Are you exercising more and eating less but still battling that bulge around your gut? You are not alone.

They are adding to obesity, type 2 diabetes and brain issues with our kids. And now, our guts inside and out. Fat on the outside and damaged gut bacteria on the inside! What are endocrine disrupting pollutants? Pollutants that lurk in the environment (in air, food and water) but can mimic and deceive our hormone signaling [...]

You can't just go to one doc and get all the answers. As much as your life is already on survival, especially at the time of a diagnosis, you need a village with some medical nutritional geeks in it. It's a lot of effort and more money and frustrating to find a good one. Like it is with finding a good person at any skill. But today medicine has changed. We each of us have to be our own patient advocate. If you want your best chance at being well, there can be no more delivering yourself to a doc and [...]
