Stay Informed

I’m dedicating this page to all the resources I use to stay informed.  I’ll plug links to my favorite podcasts, books, news articles, videos, and products I absolutely love.  I think it’s vital for us to never stop educating ourselves on nutrition, health, industry, and current events.  I hope you find these resources as valuable as I do.

Products I L-O-V-E

Kitchen 

• Vitamix A2500  – I understand the Vitamix is not in a lot of people’s budget but it has seriously been my #1 kitchen investment.  They now have space saver models that are a bit more affordable too!
• Wusthof 6-inch Chef’s Knife – Again, I know it’s pricey for most but it’s an investment that will last!
• Big Berkey Water Filter – My Berkey seriously deserves it’s own blog post.  Water is essential and I LOVE this filtration system!

Beauty & Personal Hygeine

• BeautyCounter – I’m obsessed with the Cleansing Balm, but I haven’t tried any products I don’t like.
• Aztec Secret – Indian Healing Clay – over 17,000 Amazon reviews, this product is super affordable and highly effective. I use it with Organic Apple Cider Vinegar.
• Himalaya Neem and Pomegranate Fluoride- Free Natural Toothpaste
