Did you know that 1 out of 5 Caucasian children will have Type 2 Diabetes by age 12?

For African Americans, the number is 1 out of 2.

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. The point I want to make is this:

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

You know what’s confusing? 

When doctors tell you one thing but science tells you the opposite...

Eat this. Don’t drink that. Do 5 minutes of this exercise & 30 minutes of that one. Don’t go over X calories a day…

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can seem so overwhelming sometimes.

Can I make it a little easier for you today?

Are you someone who has 40 or more pounds to lose (or more) and has tried EVERYTHING?

If so, have a listen, change your life, and spread the good word by sharing this valuable information with anyone you think it could help!

True, sustained health will never exist in a single pill. Research has proven and (non-pharma funded) doctors agree that the key to optimal health lies in what you eat.

But....There’s 1 food-based mineral that’s finally getting the attention it deserves (from scientists around the world) as a major component in disease prevention.

Have you ever felt like acne-free, RADIANT skin was just not in the cards for you?

I can definitely relate. Once I hit my twenties, it seemed my skin broke out CONSTANTLY.

But since figuring out my triggers, I went from helpless and frustrated to curious, confident and empowered. And today, I am (mostly) acne-free! 

I have a real obsession with the beets and besides them being underrated in my book, when they're cooked to perfection the flavor is fantastic!

And while I have given you a ton of great recipes each week, I realized that sometimes it's nice to have a simple salad you can reach for in the fridge. Or to have the perfect side dish to accompany any main course.

Well, this is it. And once you taste it, you'll know what I mean.

If you need a simple, filling side-dish for this weekend, give this Garlic Balsamic Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon a shot.

And if you're wanting to kick the recipe up a notch like I did, make sure you add some Ava Jane's Spices to it as well. They have seasonal spices you have to try and I was dying to taste the citrus salt and pepper.

Do you ever get in a food rut and you really need some delicious and filling snacks to keep you satiated throughout the day?

Me too!

It wasn't until last week, I decided I wanted to make these chipotle smoked egg salad lettuce cups because I was desperate for an easy to make, filling snack.
