New study (link below) shows vitamin C delivered via juice has greater bioavailability relative to the whole food form! Because this equates to better protection against colds and flus, maybe it’s time to schedule that 3-day juice cleanse. 💚 DM for the details!

Your body is constantly being renewed - an ongoing renovation project. Nearly every cell you have today will be replaced in the coming months or years- skin, gut, liver, and even your bones! Every meal, breath, and movement is a chance for you to actively participate in that renewal!

The Aging Gracefully Program isn’t about fighting time, it’s about learning to dance with it. Let’s celebrate that renewal, together. 💃💫

We’ll discuss autophagy, mitochondria biogenesis, bone health, cancer prevention, aging skin, and SO much more! If you missed Part 1 on cognitive health, no worries! You can hop in anytime before January, when we will be practicing these concepts at our 3-day retreat!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN hugs!!!

To help steer clear of sugary, pro-inflammatory Halloween calorie-rich-and-processed (acronym- CRAP) foods, here’s a delicious pumpkin spice smoothie recipe!

1 frozen banana, 1 cup soy milk, 1/2 cup cooked/canned pumpkin purée, 1 tablespoon date or maple syrup (or 2-3 dates), 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, then sprinkle with nutmeg:)
