Doubt!!! Doubt is one of the most natural things that our mind creates without fail. Doubt is an emotional process that your body goes through when your in the midst of trying something different, new or exciting.  At times doubt is an emotion that’s connected with negativity. Embarking on the journey to creating a healthy body and mind was a very challenging process for me. Who new that 9 years of healthy living would be a roller coaster of emotions. Learning and understanding my body, what it needed and how food effects the body was a lot to take in.  Understanding all the fad diets out here and how each diet can effect hormones, metabolism, mental health and physical health! My mind was a an emotional wreck of doubt at one point in time.  In those moments of doubt, I thought there was no way I can learn all this stuff, there is no way I could possibly teach it to others, but once I started, retained the information and took that knowledge in started to incorporate it i...

Listen I fell in love last week with Pita Chips! My husband took the family to Cava, we were out doing some shopping and of course the boys were hungry so we opted for Cava!  They have a very intriguing menu and because they had Vegan options I was able to get something delicious. So I got the Lentil Avocado Bowl! This bowl was so delicious, it has supergreens, roasted vegetables, hummus, avocado, Falafel. It just is so good and to top it off they added the pita chips!  I was in goodness heaven. The Pita Chips had me hooked. I just had to know how they made them. So I asked the young lady behind the counter and she said they are fried in Canola oil. My heart just sank, the disappointment I felt in that moment.
