Do you suffer with lower back pain?
I hope you are well and feeling good in your body. I was talking with someone the other day about priorities as a middle-aged woman – it feels wild to think I am middle-aged, but at 44, statistically, I am! anyway… what we were talking about when it comes to our health and fitness, our priority […]
Gut friendly Kitchari (Lentil Dahl)

Nature provides us with everything we need… You just need to know how to identify what’s safe, good and legal to take. That’s why I am teaming up […]
Who knew how and when you breathed in exercise could advance the benefits?!

Make your own Kimchi
If you don’t know what kimchi is, it’s probably best to start there… Kimchi is a traditional Korean side dish made from fermented vegetables, with napa cabbage and Korean radishes being the most common ingredients.
