Supper: quick stir fry with left over organic broccoli from Easter, black rice and quinoa with chicken, seasoned with Israeli Spice blend (so yummy). Topped with fresh parley and Braggs Aminos.

I found this spice blend over 15 years ago and it is hands down our favorite with chicken!- thus why it has it's own designated spice container! So I thought I would share the recipe. I added in the Curry spice as this takes it to the next level of awesome--but I also love Curry.

Healing Principle #2: Health is More Than the Absence of Disease

Just because you don’t have a diagnosis (yet) doesn’t mean you’re truly healthy. Health isn’t measured by what’s missing—it’s measured by how well your body is thriving. True wellness is about longevity, vitality, and energy, not just surviving without symptoms.

The Stechschulte Healing Method applies my trademarked BIG Systems Approach to identify the hidden influences that impact your long-term wellbeing.

B – Brain & Nervous System: Sleep, stress, and mental clarity aren’t luxuries—they’re essential for your body to function optimally.
I – Immune System: Chronic inflammation or early immune imbalances can quietly erode your energy and wellbeing long before any lab flags it.
G – Gut & Digestive Health: A resilient gut supports nutrient absorption, hormone balance, and mental clarity, forming the foundation for vitality.

✨ Focusing on these systems now isn’t about avoiding disease tomorrow—it’s about living better, feeling energized, and thriving for decades.

If you sense something is ‘off’ in your body, even when all your labs read ‘normal,’ I urge you to keep searching—catching it early is far easier than trying to reverse it after you’ve fallen off the cliff of disease and irreversible damage has set in.

Making one of my favorites! Kefir, so easy and great source of probiotics---my tummy can't wait!

HIGHLY recommend Body Ecology starter. I have been making kefir and other cultured things for over 24 years--I have tried ALLLLLL the starters out there. I have done kefir grains along with other starters. I have found that this starter never fails!

WORD: If you wouldn’t eat it… why are you putting it on your skin?
Your skin is your body’s largest organ—and it’s doing so much more than we give it credit for.

It acts as your first line of defense, protecting you from toxins, pathogens, and environmental stressors. But here’s the part most people overlook… your skin is also highly absorbable. What you put on your body can make its way into your body.

Your skin also plays a powerful role in:
✨ Detoxification (through sweat and barrier function)
✨ Vitamin production, including helping your body make vitamin D
✨ Immune regulation and protection

So the products you use daily? They matter more than you think.

The average person uses multiple personal care products daily—often exposing themselves to dozens (if not hundreds) of chemical ingredients.

That’s why switching to a low-tox facial routine isn’t just about beauty… it’s about supporting your overall health.

>>>Want a simple tool to start?
The Yuka app can help you scan products and identify hidden toxins so you can make cleaner choices with confidence.

🚫 Common hidden toxins to watch for:

Parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben) – hormone disruption
Phthalates – endocrine disruption
Synthetic fragrances – often undisclosed chemical mixtures
Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives (DMDM hydantoin, quaternium-15)
Sulfates (like SLS) – skin irritation and barrier disruption
PFAS (“forever chemicals”) – bioaccumulate in the body
Heavy metals (lead, mercury) – toxic to neurological and organ health

Your skin isn’t just about appearance.
It’s a reflection of your internal health—and a gateway to it.

✨ Choose wisely.
✨ Simplify your routine.
✨ Support your body from the outside in.
