See more details here.

The body is a sacred temple, the house of your spirit, and life energy. If our physical body is not up to speed, we’re more likely to be tired, holding onto extra weight, and not be living to our full potential. Daily life can feel like a chore because we just don’t feel good and because our body systems are full of junk or blocked.

Just as we take our cars to the shop to clean the engine and get a tune-up, so do our bodies need to be cleaned and tuned-up with a detox from time to time. Continue reading “Why You Should Do a Detox”

A Natural Approach to Skin Wellness

We have all embarked on the health and wellness journey together by means of both visual and mechanical methods. Though some choose to only read wellness reports, others prefer practical approaches. It seems as though everywhere you turn there is a new method for treating skin issues.

Mon Sheree Fashion Review

If you’ve been following Real Nutritious Living for a while, you’ll know I’ve been fortunate in that I am able to share healthy tips, recipes and other info on television and speak at other live events. That said, every time I have an upcoming event I am left with my closet doors wide open, scratching my head wondering what the heck am I going to wear!!  We’ve all been there. Enter my lovely and ultra-stylish as well as super healthy friend, Sheree Trask. Sheree is the owner and stylist of Mon Sheree Fashion Consulting and she kindly offered her expertise in dressing me. I cannot tell you how thrilled I was!! I pulled some of my trendier pieces for approval and some things that have been hanging in my closet but I haven’t been quite sure what to do with or how to wear.

Why I am a “Flexitarian”

One of the most common questions I get once people find out that I am a Holistic Health and Nutrition Counselor is, “what do you think is the best diet?”  That’s a great question! If I had the right answer for everyone, I would be a billionaire. I believe in the concept of bio-individuality in that each person has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Continue reading “Why I am a “Flexitarian””

Weir Homemade Guest Blog

Hi! My name is La Tache and I am a new-ish wife and I love to cook! I grew up in a home where most every meal was home-prepared and we would all eat together. That being said, I hardly helped my mom in the kitchen, she is a very particular cook (I guess that is where I get my habits), so when I left for college I was pretty happy to have the Housing Dining Center (I know, have you ever heard anyone admit to that?!)

A little time for you each day…..

Yesterday at the gym I noticed a gal behind me who during the entire fitness class was on her phone texting and on Facebook. It got me thinking about how precious our time for physical activity is. This time is likely the only time we have each day for ourselves. A time to breathe, clear our minds, relieve stress and renew focus. This time is truly a precious gift in the world we live in, but how can we make the most of it? Continue reading “A little time for you each day…..”

As if we needed another reason to love cinnamon….

Cinnamon is tasty, so that in and of itself is enough to eat it right? Well Cinnamon is also chalk full of manganese, which helps with bone formation, metabolism of energy from nutrients and decreases free radicals in the body. Continue reading “As if we needed another reason to love cinnamon….”
