How do I cleanse my body, find out about spring fashion, and learn which foods eliminate sugar cravings?(Phew)...All answers are found in this 30 minute podcast!

Whether it’s fighting the flu and respiratory disorders or combating tonsillitis and urinary tract infections, horseradish is a condiment that can help keep you healthy. Nearly every part of the horseradish plant seems to have some medicinal value.

Horseradish contains significant amounts of cancer-fighting compounds called glucosinolates, which increase the liver’s ability to detoxify carcinogens and may suppress the growth of tumors.

Do you have a hobby that you love but may not be good for your health? Whether you enjoy fixing cars, woodworking, running, cycling or jewelry making. Your hobby may be stressing your respiratory health more than you know. For me, I love to paint with pastels. The vivid color in pastels come from cadmium and other toxic metals, and when applied, produce a lot of dust, not so great for my lungs. I have tried other mediums yet nothing intrigues me like the pastels. So despite the health risks, I slap on a face mask, ensure I have good ventilation, take herbal chelation for the heavy metals and love my time painting.

So what can you do naturally to protect yourself?

Style is something I thought was hard work and took too much time to cultivate, and time was something I didn't feel I had in excess. 

When I first meet Noelle Cellini, owner of the Style Academy,  she talked about style in such simple steps that it put me at ease and made it seem doable.

I would arrive home, go to my closet and test her nightly suggestion and find myself staring in the mirror saying "Shit, she's right!". 

I had been free of seasonal allergies for 13 years until recentlyI woke up to itchy pressurized eyes and a scratchy sore throat. It actually surprised me when I realized I was experiencing seasonal allergies again. I didn’t want to start the 18 day liver cleanse and have to wait that long to feel better so I came up with this 3 step protocol and it worked. My seasonal allergy symptoms went away within 5 days of using this 3 step protocol.

My friend Arne is a car guy. Not only does he own the A-team mobile (and on occasion dresses up like Mr.T) but he also has the guinness book of world records for the fastest hearse. Yes, that is actually a thing. When I talk about cleansing to my male clients I often equate our body to auto mechanics.

After years of giving advice to my clients on how to eat, I'm so excited to be getting in the kitchen with you. Too many times have I heard from my clients that growing up they were not welcomed in the kitchen or never encouraged to help prepare meals. It breaks my culinary heart to hear those words. I have such fond childhood memories that revolved around being in the kitchen that I believe that was why I chose to become a professional chef as my first career.

It had been intense, 6-8 hours of biking everyday for two weeks from the Pyrenese mountains through the hilly terrain of the Galacian province. I had never biked more than one day in a row and yet here I was cycling my way across Spain. This was physically the hardest thing I had ever done.  Here are a few thing I did to help take care of myself on this journey.

Seasonal allergies were just something I had to deal with, or so I thought, until I was introduced to natural medicine. In 4 months, by changing my diet and focusing on cleansing my colon and liver, all my seasonal allergies were gone.  Here are 3 things that I did that were most helpful:
