Are you incorporating a wide variety of colors into your meals? If not, this is your sign to start!

Love is the most powerful emotion there is. It can move people to do extraordinary things, accomplish incredible feats of strength, endure almost incomprehensible pain and suffering, and bring us to tears in an instant.

Newsflash - It is not just about food. It is about a relationship you have with food. There is a connection between what you eat, how you eat and your connection to yourself.

You might think that your brain controls everything, but the truth is that it does not. Your gastrointestinal system is the true primary command center, disease fighter, and processor for your entire body.
