Collagen is a powerful amino acid supplement that’s great for everything from gut health to joint health.

But the more I learned about the processing behind collagen powder, the more I turned to the good old fashioned bone broth for the healing benefits of collagen.

Can you think of the number one resource your body can’t survive without?

Oxygen? Water? Maybe food?

If you said oxygen, you’d be correct.

The basic ‘rule of threes’ says that a human being can live for approximately three minutes without oxygen, three days without water and three weeks without food.

And just like oxygen is absolutely necessary for our survival, there’s one antioxidant that plays a similarly critical role in maintaining our health.

We all know how important balanced hormones are to our health. What is a little harder to wrap our heads around is all the moving parts and nutrients involved in keeping everything in perfect balance.

For instance: If your pituitary gland doesn’t receive enough magnesium or vitamins D and E, it won’t have what it needs to secrete hormones properly. Then the various organs and glands that depend on pituitary signals will be impacted as well.

Everyone wants to know what to eat to cultivate a healthy gut these days.

And while many of my prior posts have laid a solid foundation for what to ADD to your diet to cultivate gut health, there is still one REALLY important topic we have to cover to ensure you get your world-class GUT...

What NOT to eat.

Ask any cardiologist and he or she will tell you that exercise plays a key role in heart health.

Don’t get me wrong, it DOES. Being a former fitness trainer, I know the value of proper

Exercise isn’t enough to counteract a diet lacking in heart-healthy nutrients, and there’s 1 nutrient that outshines them all when it comes to your cardiovascular health: CoQ10

I have a quick question for you:

Has anyone ever told you that beef is bad for your health?

Or have you heard that it’s killing the environment?

I bet you have. It’s a terribly widespread misconception that has caused thousands of us to miss out on some pretty amazing nutrients. 

Can I ask you a question? When you’re grocery shopping, do you trust that what you put into your basket is safe for consumption?

We should be able to, but unfortunately, that’s just not the case in the meat department.  

This simple oven-baked ribs recipe is fall off the bone delicious!

It has a perfectly sweet and spicy flavor that will have you craving for more BBQ in your life too.

The best part? It's 100% healthy for you too!
