Doing things better, cheaper and faster may work well for manufacturing microprocessors but it doesn’t work well with the mind, body or spirit. The invention of factory farming, refined and processed pre-packaged food and fast food has come at a high price – your health. You can find your own way to good health by learning the basics of holistic health including what is safe and what is dangerous in modern food. With knowledge comes the empowerment to debunk misnomers from food and nutrition studies born out of conflicts of interest and to see through devious marketing from large food and beverage manufacturers focused only on one thing (and it’s not your health.) Consuming a diet filled with the “food like stuff” that has become a basic of today’s Standard American Diet (SAD), results in excess weight, illness, dis-ease and mental fog from the dangerous components of our food.
As an unique individual, biochemically and spiritually, it’s important to find what works best for you. When you know the basics, you can seek out and find what foods, including amounts and combinations, work best for your individual body. It’s vital to experiment to find the right combination of food, exercise and spiritual nurturing so you not only feel great, you are the best, most dazzling version of you. Empowerment through knowledge will allow you to find your own way to a life of vibrant health and a trim, healthy body. Awareness of good nutrition is freedom from fad diets, counting calories and points, reading unhelpful nutritional labels and from confusion over misleading nutritional information in the media. Changing what you know and the way you eat and treat your mind, body and spirit will transform your life.

Personal retreats are a fundamental way to relieve the mind, body and spirit from the constant stresses and pressures experienced daily and foster renewal.
A personal retreat can be for a short duration, such as an afternoon or day, or for longer periods of time, such as two weeks to several months.

In Western society, individuals experience a continuous bombardment of stressors that lead to a lack of balance and burnout, which can lead to health issues, illness and disease. Retreats of all kinds have been taken for centuries to help individuals gain insight into their lives and enhance their mental, physical and spiritual health. Personal retreats can offer effective relief from the chronic stress and pressures of routine life and foster rejuvenation of the mind, body and spirit. Taking regular personal retreats can help individuals attain a closer connection and understanding of self, one’s life purpose, improve health, achieve balance and reach an enhanced state of mindfulness and being. Personal retreats can be customized so individuals can seek relief and gain insight specific to their unique goals. Best practices for retreats include good nutrition and employing a variety of complementary alternative medicine practices, including, but not limited to, acupuncture, aromatherapy, ecotherapy, journaling, massage therapy, meditation and mindfulness, qigong, tai chi and yoga. If personal retreats are taken on a regular basis, they can offer relief from chronic stress and allow the body to return to a state of calmness and rest known as homeostasis.
