Happy Mother’s Day!
I hope your Mother’s Day is truly as wonderful as mine has been:
Sleeping in (but just a little because they are so excited to show me the gifts they made!), a cup of coffee with a heart design in the foam by my 9 year old, “Happy Mother’s Day” song to the tune of Happy Birthday, yellow roses (my favorite flowers) from my wonderful husband and a shower of school- and homemade gifts… so much better than typically [...]
The food that we put into our bodies can improve our health or worsen it, and in more ways than you may be aware. It is more than just a source of energy, more than simple carbohydrates, fat and protein.
Our modern food supply is full of artificial ingredients, additives, pesticides and other chemicals that don’t belong in our food or in our bodies. While supposedly there to make our crops be more productive and to make food look, smell and taste [...]
I’m really excited to share something extra special with you today!
I’ve got a brand new group support program for Moms beginning in less than 2 weeks – but there’s only room for 12 members! (In fact, it’s so exciting that before I even send this announcement out, we’ve already got 5 spots filled!)
If you remember, I recently ran the group support program, “5 Weeks Transformation in Body, Mind and Spirit” focused on Moms. It was all about learning how to [...]
I’m writing a bit of an off-topic post today. Off topic for dietary information, but yet sharing a great idea for your kids who struggle with social skills like “being kind just because it’s the nice thing to do.”
Yes, most children struggle with basic kindness, but those who have ADHD or Autism Spectrum Disorders act impulsively without thinking through the consequences or simply don’t understand basic social skills and must be taught (like my son with Aspergers).
We started the “Kindness [...]
I’m opening up room for 6 more clients this spring! As I write this, before the announcement has even been publicly made, 2 places have been taken. I now have 4 3 2 spots available.
(The last time I sent out an offer like this, I had 5 spots claimed within a week!)
I want to get you set for success, peace and calm. Now. Not later!
Think about it. The school year is winding down. Summer will be upon us before you know [...]
I’m curious – what does it mean to you when someone says “Diet for ADHD” or “Autism Diet”?
There are so many meanings to the word “diet.” I want to hear what comes to your mind when you hear those words above. Some thoughts to ponder:
Is it about supplements?
Natural remedies instead of pharmaceutical medication?
Dietary changes? Short or long term?
What benefits do you think you would get from it?
What symptoms do you hope to change?
Or, what benefits have you seen with changes [...]
As parents of children with ADHD or autism spectrum disorders, we are dealing with extra stress on an ongoing, daily basis. Our sleep is disrupted, our patience is tested to the extreme, our time is limited, our lifestyle is no longer as it once was. What we used to do for fun and relaxation is taken over by the needs of our children.
This is the exact reason why I changed my usual focus from our kids to as as moms [...]
I’m often asked if dietary changes are a “cure” for autism spectrum disorders and ADHD.
I whole-heartedly believe that dietary intervention works miracles in our children and are the best alternative to medication for ADHD and autism. They are a crucial part of the healing journey. But a cure? Not exactly.
Let me explain.
We have had great results with dietary and other natural interventions for my son, who has both Aspergers and ADHD. It has been an amazing transformation and we are [...]
When you are trying to improve the symptoms and behaviors your child struggles with due to Autism Spectrum Disorders or ADHD, dietary changes should definitely be made.
So, you’ve decided to try it out. The next big question is: Do we do it as a whole family or just for the child who “needs” it?
Personally, I’ve tried it both ways in my home. In the beginning, we started out strict GFCF for all 6 of us. Over time, things changed and [...]
This post was inspired by my group program participants, “Nourishing the Special Needs Mom: 5 Week Transformation in Body, Mind & Spirit.” This group of amazing women is working through diet upgrades to create their transformation from the inside out.
We got into green smoothies and how great they are for us nutritionally, yet how quick, easy and delicious they are! There truly isn’t another “faster fast food” that does a body THAT good! I’ve already written about how green smoothies [...]
