For the past 8 weeks I’ve spent a lot of time on my yoga mat going through 200-hour yoga teacher training with Corepower Yoga. This is the same studio I started practicing at a little over a year ago when I got a new job here in San Francisco. Sitting down all day at my […]

My Top 5 Foods & Supplements for a Plant-Based Diet
I sometimes hear people saying (like all the time) that if they’d go plant-based “there’d be nothing left to eat”.

6 Tips for Better Digestion
As a lifelong sufferer of constipation (this is when I first realized it was a problem) I’ve tried many things to get things moving regularly. I’m so glad I felt adventurous in 2010 and decided to try colon hydrotherapy and met a therapist that changed my view on food and what I put in my […]
