We’ve covered a lot in just three healthy swaps.

We’ve covered a lot in just three healthy swaps. I know it can feel overwhelming quickly.

Just remember, it only takes one change at a time. Choose what you consider is most important to you and your circumstances first. Or simply swap things as they run out.

The goal is to be a more conscious consumer. Being made aware of what we are putting in and on our bodies.

Happy healthy swapping!

Some of the most surprising facts I've learned abo

Some of the most surprising facts I've learned about on this healing journey are about the food industry. For instance, the oats available today are not the same as the oats that we grew up on. Just in 2005, the FDA approved GMO sugar beats that survive toxic glyphosate. The USDA is currently trying to deregulate GMOs (learn more @gmofreeusa_official). The food industry is constantly changing.

As the agriculture and food industries keep changing and the regulations surrounding those industries change, our food quality changes. What determines quality, though?

Food can nourish our bodies, but it can also deteriorate them by suppressing the immune system, overburdening our organ systems, and blocking us from receiving the nutrients we should be getting from whole foods.

The common compromise I've found throughout the food industry are overprocessing, added fillers, and denatured methods. Yet, what does that compromise cost us? What has it cost us already? Where is the health of our generation headed? 1 in 3 adults has multiple chronic illnesses (not counting those undiagnosed). One in three! Could the food industry be contributing to this epidemic?

The best way to find out where and how your food is grown or raised is to meet and buy from your local farmers. Search for a local CSA (community supported agriculture) box to subscribe to or consider growing and/or raising at home.

When searching for quality, whole foods, my goal is to search for :

Raw
Pasture Raised
Grass-Fed
Full-Fat
Organic
Non-GMO
Heirloom & Heritage
A2/A2 Raw (Best Choice) or A2/A2 Non-Homogenized, Low-Temp Pasteurized (Next Best)

*In states where raw dairy is not available for retail, you might be able to subscribe to a milk/herd share.

As I've mentioned before, I have learned far more than I have been able to put into practice. Some of these lifestyle changes take time to adjust to. I am certainly not perfect at this. We still have a long ways to go to meet our personal goals. But the few changes that we've made have made so much of a difference. What is one thing that you would be willing to change to ensure more nutrient-dense meals for your family?

I’ve been going through my very first blog serie

Some days I have a clear vision of what You want m

Some days I have a clear vision of what You want me to do, Lord. Other times, I'm not sure what direction You are taking me.

But I've learned long ago that I can trust You. You have always been faithful to exceed my wildest dreams and share Your strength amidst hardships and trials.

When everyone else forgets, You remember me.

Without hesitation, I gave You my present and future. I gave You reigns over my dreams. And they were all so well taken care of and carefully sifted in Your hands.

I thank You for the many blessings that You've given me ever since the day I moved out of Your way and laid all I thought was mine at Your feet.

Lord, whenever I begin to even think of taking back control over any of it, please stop, correct, and redirect me.

Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
Psalm 36:5

The best advice that I can give to someone looking

The best advice that I can give to someone looking for healthier options is to switch out what you use regularly and internally first. That is why my first recommendation was a water filter. The next one that comes to mind is coffee (or your morning beverage of choice).

For me, it is a daily routine that I never forget. It helps me knock out my list of to-dos first thing in the morning. Without it, my daily chores do not get done. Nowadays, my cup of coffee helps to modulate my immune system (more about that in a second.)

Previously, my cup of coffee would give me the boost of energy I needed but not without the side effects of jitters, anxiety, and spiked cortisol. It was a compromise I was willing to take to help me get my day started. However, there are other side effects of conventional coffee that I was unaware of.

Did you know that coffee beans are known to have problems with mold and mycotoxins? Or that its acidity temporarily changes the body's natural pH level? I didn't either.

King coffee tests for mold and mycotoxins and neutralizes the acid. But that is not why I switched. It caught my attention when I learned how it helped so many people with chronic illnesses. That is because the coffee is infused with a therapeutic dose of an adaptogen.

This adaptogen also acts as an immune modulator. Those two are powerhouse benefits of medicinal herbs. Which makes it especially beneficial to those with autoimmune diseases, imbalanced hormones, inflammatory diseases, or toxic burdens, to name a few.

When I was praying for answers to help loved ones dealing with concerning symptoms, this is what the Lord led me to. There is not enough room in this description to share the testimonies of this herb-infused coffee. If you'd like to know whether this coffee can help you or not, send me a message. I can help answer questions or recommend other coffee brands that do testing if this is not the right fit for you.

Water is something we use daily. We wash and cook

Water is something we use daily. We wash and cook with it and it makes up over half of our bodies. It makes sense that the quality of water might affect our health.

I use the Alexapure system to filter my water. The gravity filter removes over 200 contaminants while allowing trace beneficial minerals to remain. That includes viruses and bacteria, heavy metals, herbicides, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. Contaminants such as fluoride, chlorine, aluminum, and glyphosate.

Since using the filter, I've noticed an increase in focus, motivation, and overall better mood. Water and other beverages(like coffee) have a significantly smoother texture than before.

I wish I could say that I thoroughly researched water filters before investing in this system. Originally, I was looking for a filter to make our well-water potable in case the toilet paper dilemma of 2020 developed into something more. Then, I stuffed it into a closet. It wasn't until I saw nutritionists recommending gravity filters that I realized just how beneficial this filter was.

You might have seen others recommend the Big Berkey system. There is not much difference between the two. Berkey has a handful more contaminates that it filters, the filters last about 1,000 more gallons, but you need an additional filter to remove fluoride. Alexapure requires only one filter and has a faster flow rate (very important for a family of seven).

After comparing the two, I am happy with the filter I ended up getting. Either would be a great option. Overall, a water filter is a wonderful investment to save up for. Bottled waters are not the best choice, as they are usually tapwater wrapped up in BPAs.

Look up a specific contaminant from Alexapure's Test Report in the link below to research how they affect our bodies, both short and long-term.

Some of you might know that I create teaching reso

Some of you might know that I create teaching resources for teachers and homeschoolers. I also have a website dedicated to sharing tips for teaching the primary grades.

I have decided to combine those resources with the encouragement that I share here. My former site, will now be joyous-wonder.com. There, I will share about faith, wellness, and motherhood.

This is a project that I’ve been working on for a while now and I’m elated to see it near completion. There are still a few things to wrap up, but it’s coming together nicely.
