Is All Sugar Created Equal?
Read Chris Kresser’s article to see why all sugar is not created equal. The “sugar is sugar” adage is misleading and should not discourage moderate consumption of healthy fruit, or occasional raw honey, for example. These are whole, synergistically balanced foods beneficial to health.
With the kids now officially back to school, learning new subjects and improving once again becomes the focus as they grow one year older. But what about you? What if you could “go back to school” to learn about a subject that affects every aspect of your life–your health! Health Coach Zach, our resident Certified Holistic Health Counselor, has availabilities opening up for both individual coaching as well as group coaching.
