One of the most empowering things I’ve ever done…

For several years of my life, I let a machine (for under $20 at your local Wal-Mart) dictate my self worth. Back when I was in junior high, I couldn’t even go near this machine. I was petrified of it. When I knew teachers at school were going to try and make me use it, [...]

Got my blood tested…what an eye opener!

Lou Corona, the guy that I mentioned in my last post, can look at someone’s blood and tell them what areas of their body need to be worked on. While visiting Otto in Orange County last week, I decided to take advantage and schedule blood testing with Lou. The results were REALLY eye-opening. First of [...]

Some of my go-to juice and smoothie recipes (for HEALTH and ENERGY!)

A lot of people have been asking me lately about recipes for juices, smoothies, and other energy potions. Here are some of my favorites: Lemon-Ginger Blast: I have this one every morning. Lou Corona was the one who came up with it, and the guy is a freaking BEACON of health knowledge. He’s 57 and [...]

My new love… tea!

Lately I’ve gotten really into different herbs (Mother Nature’s “medicine cabinet”) and the different things that they can do to help our bodies. It’s so interesting to me how I might get an herb because I heard it does one thing, but then feel additional things happening to my body. I’ll look it up and [...]

Juices And Smoothies 101

Juices And Smoothies 101

As you know if you follow my Twitter or Facebook streams, I drink a TON of juice (and sometimes smoothies). For my body (NOT EVERYBODY), juicing is better than smoothies at this time. That’s for a few reasons: – When you make a smoothie, all of the fiber from the fruits and vegetables is still [...]

Juice Fasting Update

I decided to quit the juice fast after 4.5 days. It just wasn’t working for me. I made the first video a few hours ago, and then spoke to my friend Joshua, who inspired me to add more – hence the 2nd video. (I’m sorry about the lighting the second time, I wasn’t thinking about [...]

Juice Fasting – Day 4

I posted this from my 5am – 9am experience: This morning wasn’t super-awesome. I woke up, sat at the edge of my bed for a while (because every time I got up yesterday I blacked out for a good 30 seconds), and got up. Luckily today I could see, so I thought today might be [...]

Juice Fasting – Day 3

Today has been the worst day by far. I woke up feeling great. When I stood up, I was dizzy for a good 30 seconds before I could see anything again, but once that passed, I felt fine. I had my green juice and then almost all of my liter of water with MSM and [...]

Juice Fast – Day 2

I read some people’s blog entries saying that Day 2 was the hardest day of all for them, so I prepared myself for the worst. That being said, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be. I woke up VERY groggy and dizzy, and could barely see when I stood. I promptly had [...]

Juice Fasting – Day 1

It’s only 4:15, but I’m thinking the end of my first day will probably be pretty soon. I’m still on east coast time and very sleepy. The dark conditions outside aren’t helping either. The first day of the fast went well. I woke up feeling hungry (I usually feel hungry in the mornings) and had [...]
