School school school
So I'm considering taking classes with Integrative Nutrition to become a Health Coach.
I did some research and this morning spoke to one of the admissions advisers, Shannon, this morning.
Shannon was very sweet and knowledgeable. We discussed the reasons I am interested in the school, my background in studying natural living and holistic medicine on my own and how I will be continuing my studies in Herbalism along with wanting to become a Health Coach.
She explained that there are financing options for when I'm ready to enroll as well.
So why Integrative Nutrition over the other Health Coach schools and programs?
I looked into this school at first because of the many health experts they interview and have lecture for the classes including Andrew Weil, David "Avocado" Wolfe and Deepak Chopra.
As I read I was also impressed by the fact that Integravtive Nutrition not only takes a Holistic view of nutrition (looking not only at diet but also at spirituality, career and relationships) but also offers over 100 different dietary theories including raw foods, Ayurveda, South Beach Diet and other popular theories.
The kicker was when I was looking at graduates of the program. I had actually heard of some of them! I've seen their books, their faces, their products in my past few years of healthy living research! WOW!
Following is some information about the school that I particularly liked:
Here is a Webinar for interested students
Joshua Rosenthal, creator of the Integrative Nutrition program and school, offers his book Integrative Nutrition: Feed Your Hunger for Health & Happiness for FREE! I'm currently on chapter 3 and loving the information I'm learning with each page.
More information is available HERE

Be.You.Tea
I love getting e-mails from Tera Warner. She has such a great personality and I love her webinars, articles and blogs.
Today I read an e-mail from her about what she called her Best Health Decision this past year! What a hook for an e-mail from a woman who loves health, raw foods, juicing and green smoothies! She talks to so many health, nutrition and beauty experts for her to offer what she thinks is her Best Health Decision - well, I was intrigued.
Rather than telling you myself, I will simply post her e-mail to me and the rest of us on her mailing list:
Morning, Happy Chick!
I've got some exciting news to share and have been holding
back until I could tell you, but it looks like it's all
coming together now, so YAY!
Secret's gonna be out.
But first...
I thought I'd share with you the *one thing* that has made
the biggest difference for me in improving my health,
well-being and getting rid of my unbearable late night
cravings for food in the last year!
It has a lot to do with my special announcement, so here it is:
We all know we're supposed to stay hydrated and eat a
nutrient-rich diet.
We all know juicing is great, but WHAT a pain in the butt to
clean that machine! (And then there's all the leftover
fiber to feel guilty about!) Honestly, I love juicing and I
love juice, but it's messy, expensive and time-consuming,
so most days, sadly, it just doesn't happen for me.
I've always been passionate about plant and herbs and wild
flowers and last summer I really started to experiment with
herbal infusions. We call them herbal "teas" but there's
not really any "tea" in there.
It's just aromatic and medicinal plants that we steep in hot
water. Doing so draws out the minerals and nutrients and
makes a very nourishing cocktail that is loaded in
health-boosting properties, hydrates like a son of a gun and
doesn't burden your digestive system.
It's so easy to do and cost pennies!
You can literally go into your backyard, or your local park
and pluck some pine needles to make a great beauty tea.
You can pick rose petals, dandelions, daisies, sunflowers,
nettles, oatstraw, dried fruits and berries and put in a
pinch of licorice root to sweeten it up!
It's the easiest thing you'll ever do:
Add water.
Wait.
Sip.
Smile.
No expensive equipment.
No messy clean up.
No waste! (In fact, you're going to be able to just gather
some of the things in your backyard for FREE and you'll
feel fabulous for doing it!)
Since we can't all go forage in the forest and pluck pine
needles in our spare time, I took the liberty of ordering a small
truckload of my favorite organic and wild-crafted herbal and
medicinal plants and have put them together in an amazing
combination for beauty.
It's called "be.you.tea" and we are getting it ready to
ship out soon!
Since the details are still being finalized, we're offering
a pre-release discount on our new "be.you.tea"!
We've packaged them in 250g bags (enough for about a pot a
day for an entire month!) If you pre-order it will only cost
$14.97. (That's about 50 cents a day for one of the
healthiest things you could do for yourself!)
http://www.bodyenlightenment.me/shop
(scroll down! It's the second item on the list!)
You will be SO amazed after only one month with the
difference you notice in your hair, skin, eyes, energy and
elimination.

hydration bandwagon then click this link:

There are no fancy pages.
No pretty pictures.
No long explanations. When those are up, the price will be
up, too!
If all goes as planned we should be able to ship out
in the next two weeks!!
You can pre-order your be.you.tea here:

And for the first 20 people who place their order, I'll hook you up
with some of my secret herbal detox recipes for spring!
Love at tea time and all the time,
Tera
p.s.
The secret to health isn't really a secret at all,
The more I learn the more I realize how simple solutions really are.
Breathe.
Smile.
Laugh a lot.
Celebrate life.
Sit around and sip tea.
That's a health protocol I can handle.

That's right! Her best health decision was TEA or, correctly, Tisanes/Infusions. Wow!
This coming from a Raw Foodist Celebrity, and its Herbal Infusions! How exciting is that! I' know I'm thrilled to hear such news that not only does she love teas she's also loving it so much she's offering her favorites to her public. How cool!

Detox Your Home!
I know I talk a lot about Detoxing Your Body but I want to take a moment to talk about Detoxing Your Home.
This will be short and I encourage you to look into these tips yourself, run some searches and find out which ways really resonate with you for you to work with.
Also, they are in no particular order, just numbered for organization.
1. Get the Chemicals OUT
Just like Detoxing your body involves getting rid of chemicals in your body, detoxing your home will involve getting rid of chemicals.
What under your sinks have been there for years? Remove anything that is past expiration or, if it doesn't have an expiration, has been there over a year or two.
What under your sinks or cupboards or in your utility room can be replaced with something natural? Could you replace your kitchen and bathroom cleaners with lemon juice, spring water, baking soda, essential oils?
2. Circulate The AIR
Fresh air is NECESSARY for human habitation.
Open the windows during the warm weather months for as long as possible and in the cold weather open them ever so often even for just 5 minutes to get fresh air in.
Bring in an IONIZER to energize the air you breath - ions are the reason the air before a storm feels so great!
Bring in some plants! Plants have been studied and proven to filter air in the home and work place by NASA. Some plants are better than others so do your research but any plant will do.
Buy air filters for the home especially if you live in a high pollen, high smog, high polution area like mid-city.
3. Filter the WATER
We all know tap water is not good for drinking, but what about bathing?
Buy filters for sinks and showers in the home. Try finding ones that filter Chlorine and Flouride as well as the other chemicals in the water.
4. Consider hardwood floors rather than carpet.
Even better, bring in bamboo flooring - bamboo can be stained to look like other woods as well, even Walnut and Red Wood.
Carpet perpetuates allergies and releases gases that are bad for us.
There you go! That wasn't so hard was it? Some fresh air and a few pretty plants? Maybe a home renovation or two? Great ideas available for you home-fixer-uppers. ^_^

Ethical Eating?
So... I get e-mails from Mark Sisson of Mark's Daily Apple and his recent email was about the Ethics of Eating Meat. He states plainly, why should meat eaters have to defend a way of eating that's been going on for thousands of years.
I can't help but agree.
I did want to add something I've been thinking of for a while now as I read The Secret Life of Plants
I read in this amazing book PROOF that Plants Feel! They feel and not only that, but when you harm them they SCREAM! THey feel pain, fear, empathy - when one plant is near another being hurt it too cries out in pain. Just because we can't hear it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
That being said and PROVEN by scientists - is it any better to hurt a plant than it is an animal? If the plant's plight tugs at your heart strings, will you stop eating all together? Become a breathairianist who lives in the highest mountain peeks, living off of sunshine and fresh, non-polluted air?
I understand that there are many vegetarians and vegans who follow that form of eating for other reasons than disdain for hurting animals such as health, a belief that raising animals hurts the planet, etc.
But for those of you who do this out of a belief that you shouldn't hurt an animal - is it right to hurt a plant?
Plus, 3 of the men most believed to be holy on the planet - Jesus Christ, Buddha, Dalai Llama - all ate meat at some point in their life/lives - just sayin'.

Alternative Medicines - Medicinal Mushrooms
BeeWellBuzz has a short webinar - less than 30 minutes on Medicinal Mushrooms which I found very interesting as I've been all about studying Chaga mushroom lately.
If you don't listen to the webinar or could care less please at least know that the webinar discusses Mitake mushrooms and that they can be taken DURING Chemotherapy to fight against secondary infections caused by chemo treatment's immune system destruction. PLEASE consider this if you do decide to take the allopathic route and use Mitake to help boost your health during chemo.
