Living a chemical free lifestyle over time will expel all unnecessary toxins in the body. The goal is to maintain a healthy body that is well balanced.

Toxins can be caused by stress, processed junk foods, chemicals, genetically modified foods, environment like the air we breathe, technology including our cell phone and television usage, and not moving our body enough. When toxins build up in our body it causes an acidic body, which is where illness and disease like cancer, diabetes, depression, addiction, MS etc thrive. It is very important we regularly cleanse toxins from our body to be consistently healthy. I have used these tools often since living a natural lifestyle, and have proven to be successful for many.

PRINT this list and keep these in mind whenever you feel like wanting to discharge toxins.

Whole30 Recipe // Sweet Potato Bun with Burger & Asparagus "Fries"

If you've been following for a while you know I'll use just about anything as a vehicle to get a good burger in my mouth, I've tried lettuce, eggplant, tomato and now SWEET POTATO! I will tell you this one wins! I just sliced the thickest section of a sweet potato and lightly spread some avocado oil and pink salt on top baked at 375° for 30 min - it makes for a super easy "bun" - asparagus as "fries" and this is practically gourmet!

Whole30 Tip // Himalayan Pink Salt

Whole30 Tip // What's the deal with Himalayan pink salt? Most table salt is so processed its completely void of nutrients. Pink salt has the FULL spectrum of all 84 minerals and elements! It's unrefined "raw" salt that was hand mined from caves. Tastes amazing and looks pretty too!

Whole30 Recipe // Broccoli Ham Quiche in a Sweet Potato Crust

 FOR THE CRUST mince one sweet potato in a food processor and then combine with 2 1/2 Tbs ghee - press into pie pan bake at 450° for 30 min until golden brown.

 FOR THE QUICHE mix 5 eggs and I cup chopped broccoli 1 cup chopped ham 3 green onions chopped up and 1/2 Tbs sea salt and 1/4 tsp paprika - pour mixture into baked sweet potato crust and bake at 350° for 40 min - serve!

When feeling down here is some positivity and inspiration

When I am having a bad moment and really want to feel better, I listen to some of these inspiring stories and people on Youtube. Immediately there is some relief, as these stories are full of love, hope, inspiration, conscious and joy. Sometimes I will listen to them for hours until I am fully past being stuck in a rut. 

As Tony Robbins says "There is no obstacle on the planet that can stop you. Period."

His videos are great to have in the background at work as he emanates energy and positivity - you can't help but feel better and more empowered! "Tiny change means big results"

Eckhart Tolle talks about being present and conscious - no matter what. He talks about pain and suffering and how to go beyond it. "How to live without stress in your day to day life."

Anita Moorjani was in a coma and had a near death experience that changed her life. She had 24 tumors the size of lemons and realized that her consciousness could shift everything. To this day she is alive and well. She gives hope to all people with tumors, cancer and life threatening disease. "Dying To  Be Me" Doctors gave her just hours to live...

The Miracle Man was a 'vegetable' after crashing his plane. Doctors said he would be paralyzed for life and was even on a breathing machine. He used his mind to rebuild his body and is alive and sharing his story of transformation today. He gives us all hope when we think there is none. "A positive thinker can achieve anything in life."

Esther Hicks - Abraham gives us permission to be joyous and encourages us to raise our vibration. "The easiest way to start positivity..."

Doreen Virtue focuses on angels, love, heaven and light. For when all we need to hear and feel is light. "Moving forward on your life purpose."

Bruce Lipton gives a scientific approach on how we can take control of our health and lives. "Biology of Belief"

Enjoy!

My role as a health mentor

For the people curious about my job as a health mentor.... First of all I love to do it. Being a health mentor is a great way for me to work one-on-one and also in groups, to assist people to get healthy. When you hire me as your health mentor, expect to cause breakthroughs and experience transformation! I communicate with you via email, phone, skype or in person, and we work together on what your health goals are. Then I provide you with one-month of an eating plan, recipes, tips and tools to achieve those health goals. Then I am here for you as you go through your health journey, and you can ask as many questions as you like - and I am here for you to get that breakthrough you may be looking for. I assist people to transform their health much like what I did for myself. I love this job, it is my passion and I believe my purpose. I have worked with people who wanted to lose weight, heal cancer, improve diabetes, fix eating disorders and just become a more conscious eater. I also teach you along the way how to make certain raw foods if you are a beginner. If you are experienced and healthy, then I am here to help you get to that next level. We never stop growing and we can always have new health goals. I myself have mentors who help me stay on track. It is so empowering to have a team of people around you who are invested in your success!

I always say imagine the top 3 things you want to transform this year....
SPACE FOR DEFINING YOUR TOP 3 HEALTH GOALS HERE....
and that they actually happen! Say your goals are to 1) Lose excess weight 2) Break an addiction to overeating 3) heal acne and that you actually get to achieve them.

Hiring your own health mentor is such a great investment in your health and your life, and you start to cause results immediately.

The role of a mentor in the dictionary means: A person who advises. 

"Mentoring is to support and encourage people to manage their own learning in order that they may maximise their potential, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be" Eric Parsloe, The Oxford School of Coaching and Mentoring

Top 5 benefits of having a health mentor:
1. You experience results. No matter what.
2. You lose excess weight.
3. You get to define your health goals and priorities.
4. You have someone who is passionate about health and cares about your progress.
5. You get unlimited access to your mentor to ask questions and bounce ideas. Your mentor is an encyclopedia of recipes, health information and tips!

My book launch is in 195 days. I am busy yet I have designed my schedule to include mentoring, and I would love to mentor you! I can see myself always being involved in mentoring. If my price is to high you can hire another mentor at a more affordable price. If I don't work with you directly, I work with your mentor to work with you. So this blog is to invite you to consider hiring your own health mentor - and hopefully me as I would love to work with you! More information here: http://www.theearthdiet.org/personalised-program.html

Some testimonials here: http://www.theearthdiet.org/testimonials1.html

If you are angry about this blog and feel that it is trying to sell something - it is my way of letting you guys know that hiring a health mentor is possible for you. It can only improve your health - you really have nothing to lose! You get to learn tips, recipes and skills for the rest of your life. And if you refuse to pay for a health mentor, you can always be your own mentor and achieve powerful results.

I waited to hit rock bottom with my health before I turned my life around. Don't wait like I did - cause a breakthrough now and achieve the health you want!
