Recommends

Over the past ten years, I’ve changed a great deal about my health. It’s brought me from barely walking at a size 22 to being in perfect health and achieving weight loss, energy, better mental health and a healthier happier family. I’m very particular with what I recommend to my community because it reflects my transformation. I’ve collected some of my recommendations for your family on this page.

NonGMO, Organic & Allergy-Friendly Food

When it comes to the food we eat, it’s a no-brainer. This is something we take seriously as a family. We want to provide the best we can and we want to make sure we do it within our budget.

Now when it comes to food, I recognize that it isn’t what is used to be. Chemical intensive farming practices have changed the health of the soil around the world. In fact, the UN estimates that we only have 60 years of good topsoil left. And if we continue on this pattern, that literally means in the future, we will need more water to get less food. As someone living in California, the salad bowl of the United States, I’m concerned. We don’t have enough water to feed all of you anymore.

But is the food less nutritious right now? Well, yes. This is why I believe in supplementation. That basically means that because the nutrients are different, the food we eat is less nutritious as well. We are literally starving even though we eat a high caloric diet.

MegaFood Multi-Vitamin for Women

Solgar Vitamin D
