Can faith help you overcome worries and anxiety? Before trying to decode this, I want to share something with you. For over 13 years, I believed that nutrition was everything. As a nutritionist, I thought if you ate right, your health would automatically fall into place. But two years later, I realized that nutrition is...
How many of you have struggled to fully enjoy the present day because your mind is consumed with thoughts of the uncertain future?

A couple of months ago, I received a message on Facebook. It moved me and strengthened my belief in the power of Vitamin P even more. Are you wondering what Vitamin P is? No, it isn't a nutrient for your body but it could certainly be food for your soul. It stands for Prayer. Before...

What is written below is my experience. This is not medical or lifestyle advice for you. It’s been eight times over the last one year that I have used 3mg of melatonin and valerian root to induce deeper sleep. I have no problem with sleep. In fact, I consider myself blessed to be able to...
