Meet "zombie cells"—damaged cells that refuse to leave, creating inflammation and slowing things down. Here's why researchers are paying attention and what you can do to support your body's natural cleanup crew.

Why Clean Air Is So Important

Just imagine yourself sitting on a beach …. maybe a more isolated beach where there's not so many people. Or, maybe you're walking or hiking on a snow-covered mountain. Or maybe you're just in your local area and you are enjoying one of the many hiking trails throughout the parks in your area. What is it about these experiences that you really, really appreciate? For me, personally, I can tell you …. besides being away from all the people and all the cars, away from the city.... besides all that, it is the fresh air that I am able to enjoy and breathe in. Because I know that air is clean.

But did you know 90% of the air you breathe is NOT from the "great outdoors"?

Strong for Life

Feeling weaker, more tired, or less steady than you used to may not be “just aging” after all. This post explores how muscle loss can quietly affect energy, metabolism, balance, recovery, and long-term wellness, often long before most people realize what’s happening. It also unpacks some of the common root causes behind this shift, from stress and poor sleep to gut issues and under-eating. If you’ve been trying to feel better but still feel achy, drained, or frustrated, this is a helpful reminder that the goal is not just to be smaller, but stronger.

The Real Source of Your Energy

If your energy crashes by midafternoon, your brain feels foggy, or you wake up tired before the day even begins, the real issue may be happening deep inside your cells.

My Freedom Journey

 
People, including doctors, thought we were crazy...all in our heads.  After all, how could normal, every day household and personal product smells affect your ability to function, to cause you to be incoherent and feel shaky inside, to have an emotional break-down?  Inside we were dying.  Outside we appeared normal. 
Fragrances were, and are, part of every day, normal life.....candles, laundry, cleaning, perfumes.  Everyone and their neighbor used them.  For us, we either had to isolate ourselves or suffer the following day or two with a toxic hangover.  Isolation is never a good option, especially with children.  During the summer it was impossible to go outside without inhaling someone's laundry or the recent lawn product application.  My husband was so bad one summer that he could eat constantly and, yet, still lose weight.  Every month I would get a sinus infection and/or chest congestion. 
Then came the food sensitivities and autoimmune disorders.  How could food cause my ears to be red and hot, my cheeks to flush, and cause my entire body to break out multiple times in a horrendous, red, itchy, inflamed rash only to burn when scratched and ooze yellow, sticky fluid?  Imagine, every day having gauze pads over the majority of your body under your clothes and hoping the rash doesn't drain so much that it soaks through your clothes.  It would take months to disappear.  People said "just get a cortisone/steroid shot" for relief.  They could not understand why that was not my choice. 
By discovering and eliminating my many triggers, finding a new, non-toxic way to support my immune system, my liver, and my thyroid, I have not had a major skin breakout for about 3 yrs and have been able to manage my autoimmune disorders without the use of standard medication. 
I finally found a way to acquire "Freedom from Toxins", "Freedom to Achieve Wellness", and "Freedom to Choose".
