At the start of the New Year we decided as a team to see where our guts stood in regards to candida. We all had a few or all of the symptoms associated with this imbalance. We completed a simple questionnaire that assess the probability of having “yeast syndrome.” Check out our scores below!
Candida, is a yeast‐like fungus. It is a normal part of our bodies. Its growth is usually limited by our immune system and by the other microorganisms in our digestive tract, including a large number of health‐promoting bacteria.
If Candida is allowed to grow due to a weakened immune system, hormone changes, or disease such as diabetes, the balance between the Candida and the “good” microorganisms in the digestive tract is upset, resulting in intestinal candidiasis (also known as “yeast syndrome”).
This imbalance can cause problems such as

Simple Detox
Our bodies are amazing machines with detoxing abilities. Unfortunately, with the modern toxic load of day to day life it’s good to take some time and help your body detox. After many articles, google searches, podcasts, and my own experience this is a list of detox options most available to us all at a low price.
Tip #1. Water is our first line of defense when it comes to detoxing. Try and drink half your bodyweight in ounces. If you weigh 130lbs, you should be drinking 130 divided by 2 = 65 oz. of water a day.
Tip #2. another way to detox each month form heavy metals is by drinking a liter of FIGI water once a day for a week. FIGI water has ionized silica in it that helps gather heavy metals and eliminate them through your urine.
Tip #3. To add to the benefit of water add a lemon, fresh, food grade lemon oil or precut frozen will all assist in the detoxification of your lymphatic system.
Tip #4. Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is a silica product that has many health benefits and can go into any liquid r over food it has little to no taste and is great at getting rid of toxins. If you’re experiencing digestive distress due to a sickness or bad food, using Diatomaceous Earth every 3 hours will help to eliminate the issue.
Tip #5. Dry brushing is something women did years ago and the technique was passed on from mother to daughter. We’re bringing it back as a great way to detox your lymphatic system, bring life back to skin and maybe even help smooth cellulite.
Tip #6. Add a new regimen to your morning. Squeeze fresh lemon juice with Cheyanne pepper, and honey (optional) hot or cold your choice. This concoction can help with detox and light up your metabolism for the day.
Tip #7. Add a new regimen to you morning. Squeeze fresh lemon juice with Cheyanne pepper, and honey (optional) hot or cold your choice. This concoction can help with detox and light up your metabolism for the day.
Tip#8 In a half hour of our day we can fight depression, osteoporosis, diseases, and toxicity, by simply exercising. Blood coursing through our bodies produces Nitric Oxide our bodies own natural medicine. We are also, building bone and muscle, elevating mood, and detoxing our bodies. So get moving.
Tip #9 I know many of us survive on coffee. Green tea has many antioxidants to help with oxidative stress from our environment. Even if we substitute one of our coffees a day for green tea it would greatly benefit the toxic load on our bodies.
Tip #10. Many people buy organic fruits and vegetables. However, meat has by far more toxins in it than fruits and vegetables could ever have. Livestock store their toxins in their fat. If you want nontoxic food for your family start buying organic meat and to make it more affordable make an organic vegetarian meal once or twice a week.
Tip #11. The best way you can detox on a cellular level is by fasting 48-72 hours a month, quarterly or every 6 months. Your fast should be a water only and active fast. No sitting on the couch. The first day is tough but as you go you will begin to feel more and more alive. When we give or our bodies a food break we reset our immune system, our old and mutated cells die off and our bodies generate stem cells. This is not a weight loss solution as it can create eating disorders. This is a chance to reconnect with your body and feel better. Please make sure you speak to a medical professional before fasting. Be on the lookout for more in-depth information coming soon about fasting.
Benefits of Green cleaning is so beneficial in so many ways through out our home and lives. There out 2 products that I use in my home daily that I find the best and most helpful and fulfilling in more ways than just cleaning and they happen to be doTerra products, Melaleuca and On guard.
Melaleuca, my favorite, also known as “Tea Tee, is best known for its purifying properties. It has 92 different compounds and limitless applications. Its been used in countries for centuries, especially by the aborigines of Australia.
On guard is a powerful blend that supports health immune functions and contains cleansing properties, when used internally. It protects also against environmental threats and seasonal threats with essential oils known for their positive effects on the immune system.
Both of these amazing oils can be used together with sense of your choice to create the perfect cleansers for your home, for the season, for your friends for your mood. The great think about doing green cleaning is its safe for your kids, grandchildren, pets and yourself. I encourage everyone to look into these ways and can even be cheaper ways of keeping our home clean. If anyone has any questions please call me I enjoy cleaning and would love to help you get GREEN, and CLEAN….
