Did you watch my conversation with Dr. Hanaway?

Inspiring, right?!?

Are you getting ready for some family trips this season? 

We are!  

And when I pack up my family to hit the road,

I pack bone broth.  

What?!?

Tell me what you need, where you're stuck, what's puzzling you...

The more more veggies you feed them, the more they'll expand and crowd out the pathogenic bugs that can cause problems.  

The more different veggies your child eats, the more different beneficial gut bugs they're feeding... which means …

How was your weekend?

Ours was busy with parties.  

I think the unofficial theme was blue!  Blue cupcakes, blue gatorade… and of course there were all the usual gluten and dairy and sugary and chemicalized “treats” too.
