You may have seen advertisements for greens superfood powders. Green superfoods are becoming increasingly popular because of their robust health benefits, and so are their counterparts red superfoods!

Superfood powders pack a punch of nutritional benefits. For one, they’re bursting with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Another powerful benefit is that these are relatively low in calories.1Greens are great, yet many people don’t know about red powders.

Are you trying to repair a leaky gut? Do you suffer from chronic gas, bloating, indigestion, or constipation? Do you experience reflux after a meal?

It’s one of the reasons I recommend taking digestive enzyme supplements.

Today’s world seems to get busier and busier, and that can pose a challenge if you’re trying to stay healthy. If you’ve been part of The Myers WayⓇ or other Autoimmune Protocols, you know how important keeping healthy AIP snacks on hand is.

Temptations are everywhere, especially this time of year. While dinners and holiday parties make this time memorable, they often disrupt the healthy routines you created for yourself. This can make eating healthy during the holidays truly challenging.

Festive music, beautiful decorations, and family gatherings… oh how I love the holiday season. I really enjoy the Christmas parties, getting together with family and friends for Thanksgiving, and of course the Black Friday shopping for gifts. It’s a great way to create memories with my husband, Xavier, and our daughter, Elle. While there’s a lot to enjoy, having stress-free holidays can be difficult for all of us, including me.
