How to drink without the hangover

The holidays shouldn’t be a time for guilt or sacrifice. They’re a time for love and celebration! Alcohol can be a vibrant part of this celebration, believe me, I love a good handmade cocktail (see below) and a big glass of (non-toxic) wine, but you have to drink the right stuff…

That is why I recommend and personally LOVE Dry Farm Wines.

Activated Charcoal

Incorporating activated charcoal into your detoxification regiment is a game changer. It absorbs all of the bad stuff, I am talking everything from food, stress, lifestyle, the environment, industrial chemicals, pesticides, additives, secondary smoke, pollutants, and heavy metals. Especially if you are like me and like to let yourself eat some “bad stuff” like pizza and vino🍷 every so often. The charcoal itself absorbs chemicals and reduces your absorption of toxins, reducing inflammation, bloating, and gas.

Quick Pickled Onions

These guys are always in my fridge and so dang easy. Once you get the base down you can keep them simple or jazz them up by adding spices or other veggie like cauliflower, carrots, peppers etc. They are crunchy, a bit sour from the vinegar and salty. I like to them to salads, tacos, well honestly everything.

A Beginner's Guide To Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent Fasting (IF) is basically the practice of occasionally going for extended periods without eating. Most people only experience this when sleeping, from after dinnertime to “break-fast” aka breaking that sleeping fast! Basically, if you typically eat dinner by 8 PM and breakfast at 8 AM the next day, you're fasting for 12 hours and feeding for 12 hours. Do you get me?
