Embrace Your Inner Prepper With Solar Lamps And Safe Home Water Testing

January 27, 2021

I’m already dreaming about my next camping trip. If I don’t get outside and into some deep nature I will surely implode.
It’s always exciting when new gear arrives – and I am loving Solight .
It’s a self-inflating, waterproof, solar light made from non-toxic, recyclable, hi-tech materials.
The light keeps its shape even when punctured and recharges in the sun lasting up to 12 hours.
Solight is great for kids and adults, environmentally conscious households, camping, backyard aesthetic, emergency use and more…
One solar light saves 90 pounds of carbon emission a year. Every time you choose clean lighting instead of traditional light bulbs it’s a strong individual commitment to a more sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle.
Solight offers the following designs:

Curious About Health Deficiencies? This Is Where I Go For Nutrient Tests

January 18, 2021

If you’re feeling like it’s time to get really REAL with what’s going on – inside – then I can’t recommend  Proactive Health Labs (pH)  enough.

Founded by veteran and health expert, Joy Stephenson-Laws, Proactive Health Labs (pH) is where I landed (in Sherman Oaks) to get fully tested. After one session, (blood draw and questions with the doctor) they whipped up an extensive report to identify my unique markers. Everything is so, so, so detailed and extensive – we assessed my body’s need for antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and digestive support. After my session and follow up I felt totally empowered with the information to tailor my diet and lifestyle to exactly what my body needs to function at its best.

What I love about this is how specific and streamlined this process is. Do you ever wonder if maybe you’re wasting money on stuff you don’t even need? And you’re taking it because it’s trending or read that it’s “good for you” ?  My suggestion is stop wasting money and time – find out exactly what you need and call it a day.

It’s time to definitively find out what your body needs, and tailor your diet and lifestyle accordingly. That’s what a nutrient test offers. For instance, you can find out if you have a deficiency in vitamin D– a key vitamin that helps build your immune system.

And now with COVID, a tailored regime is more important than ever.

Infectious diseases expert Dr. Anthony Fauci touted vitamins C and D as ways that might generally boost the immune system. “If you’re deficient in vitamin D,” he noted, “that does have an impact on your susceptibility to infection. I would not mind recommending, and I do it myself, taking vitamin D supplements.”

pH Labs’ is a national nonprofit health information organization with a diverse team of health care professionals who are experts in making complex health and health-related topics easy-to-understand and easy for your audience to apply to their daily lives.  In addition to founding pH Labs and several decades as a top healthcare attorney, Joy is also the co-author of the book, Minerals.

They were Covid protocol up the ying-yang. Clean. Safe. Lovely.

Here’s a peek at what’s going on with me! The full printout is over 21 pages!

  1.  Take an Alpha Lipoic Acid supplement ( Metagenics has one named Meta Lipoate).  It will help glucose metabolism.
  2. Take a B Complex for your B vitamin deficiencies OR a multivitamin.  Metagenics has a Phytomultivitamin which is plant based if you prefer one.  As discussed it will help with any neurological and psychological symptoms including mood disorders.
  3.  Take and extra Magnesium in the form of Chelate or Bisglycinate or the one in Lyposphere is also a good type.  Others may cause diarrhea.  The above may help you sleep better too.
  4. Take a probiotic from Metagenics.  Ultraflora Spectrum may be good for you.  You may take other brands if you desire.
  5. Take a digestive enzyme of any kind but again, Metagenics has one called Spectrazyme.
  6. You may take Milk Thistle or Chlorella or Glutathione for detoxing your elevated tin.  You can take this for three months to six.

Deck The Desks With ErgoFoam

December 15, 2020

I am so loving this solution for my family with us all working/schooing from home. My son’s feet don’t reach the floor, my teen in homeschooling on the couch and now we are all fighting over it! My son’s OT person at school went nuts over it when he showed her!

ErgoFoam is an ergonomic under desk footrest, designed to facilitate better posture, relieve seated load, and increase circulation.

Flipped over, the rest becomes a rocker, and long work hours become a chance to infuse some movement into a desk-ridden day.

Awarded ‘Best Under-Desk Foot Rest of 2020’, the ErgoFoam team believes in good design and good results, and it remains their mission to help people feel their best each day.

Another great desk/home office gift – that is just as great on the couch too!
