If I had my dream, we'd all be eating more plants and less garbage.

For nearly a decade now, I've been teaching others how to thrive by filling their bodies with energizing vitamins, nutrients, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. Not a day goes by when someone doesn't write me to say, "Thanks, I feel better now, too." Those letters from my readers are my digital cardinals.

While I may never be in remission from cancer, I am currently in remission from an unhealthy relationship to food.

Although Grandma's passion had led me to the power of food, not all of her recipes were healthy. I kept her gusto and the love that she put into her cuisine but ditched the ingredients that bought her a one-way ticket to arthritis, diverticulitis and a host of other inflammatory conditions. I also ditched my own addictions and compulsions around food, especially sugar.

Every time I see a cardinal, I know my grandmother is with me. This regal, red bird was Grandma's favorite.

My refrigerator is powerful. In fact, it has a direct link to my overall well-being.

I cherish my work and all of my readers.
