Bee Pollen: A Healing Superfood

Bee Pollen: A healing superfood!

This weekend I visited Evergreen Brick Work’s Farmers Market with my girlfriend. Since I was getting low on bee pollen (and I use it in my smoothies), I thought it was the perfect opportunity to pick some up from Bees Universe. I got chatting with the owner John and told him that Walker and I want to give all the guests at our wedding in September a jar of raw honey (to spread the love of course).

Coconut Crisp Topping for Fruit: Dairy-free, Gluten-free

Coconut Crisp Topping

As you might have noticed, we have a few hundred people doing the Eat Clean Body Lean online program otherwise known as 21 Days of clean eating and exercise.

Joyous Health Round Up: 5-11-13

JoyousRoundupSometimes I have a gazillion topics I want to write about on my blog and because of this, I don’t end up writing anything – ack! I’m sure other writers and nutritionists who want to share their love and knowledge of health and nutrition struggle with this too. Am I right?

On that note, I put together this blog post (and I am going to aim to do this every 2 weeks) to share the top stories that are not only in my mind but I know they are in yours too because I get asked questions that pertain to these topics often in workshops, on my facebook page and on twitter.

Here goes! I hope you enjoy my first joyous health roundup:
