    It is the perfect time to prioritize foods, habits and supplements that will help to support our health and well-being, and to take the necessary steps to support our immune health.*

    There is a lot to consider with immune support, from the basic foundations of health and wellness to the nuances of bio-individuality. I am forever a firm believer in turning to our diet, nutrition and lifestyle first, whenever possible and accessible, to support our body’s natural processes and efforts. But we may not always obtain all of the essential nutrients for immune support from diet alone; this is when I turn to and recommend supplemental support.

    MegaFood Daily C-Protect Nutrient Booster Powder offers daily support for the immune system by combining vitamin C with farm-fresh super fruits, including organic blueberries, organic cranberries and organic whole oranges. It also includes an Immune-Balancing Blend with organic astragalus and organic schisandra berry.*  Use my code BETH20 for 20% off your first order on megafood.com.

    After the excitement of the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Coconut Butter Keto Cups and so many of you made them and fell in love, too so my mind has been totally swirling with other variations. So here we are, this weekend is St Patrick’s Day. A holiday I could literally give two solid poops about. Butttt, in a sea of artificially colored green foods, green beer, green bagels, soda breads, beer soaked meats and the like, I offer to you a simple, fun, natural and tasty way to get in some green. And hiiiii matcha is a superfood, friends!! (Are we sick of that word, yet?)

    Antioxidant rich matcha tea, can help fight free radicals in the body and promote long-term health. Matcha being the whole leaf, ground, also contains 137 times the amount of free radical-fighting antioxidants as any other green teas. WOOT WOOT! So basically you can have your chocolate, get in some healthy fats and become a cancer-fighting super hero all in a couple of bites. (OK, that may not be super accurate marketing, but I like the generalization)

  3. Eating Doesn’t Have to Be So Complicated: 20 Things NOT Necessary to Being Healthy.

    5 Minute Green Goddess Dressing / Dip {Dairy-free}

    If you follow me on Instagram, you probably read a condensed version of this 20 Things NOT Necessary to Being Healthy post in my feed this past week.  The response from you all, was absolutely incredible, so many “amens” and “preaches”, loads of  “thank you I’ve been feeling this way too” and “I really needed to hear that”. I received countless private messages and emails and so many of you shared my sentiments with your own community – first of all THANK YOU! I am happy to know that my thoughts resonated and also that I am not alone. It’s so easy to get caught up in it all. I also felt, given the response, this rant deserved a post of it’s own, so it would have the opportunity to live on more permanently and hopefully inspire even more folks, to feel free of this thought process and empowered to shift the focus.

    I’ve recently been coming to the realization that the world of health and wellness, at certain times, can feel a bit like a “cool kids club”.  With our social feeds abundantly filled with “wellness expert”s touting everything from a detox tea that is the answer to your weight loss woes, to diets that will evidently cure all or oils, powders and mushrooms that will make you better, smarter, prettier, more energized and ageless. It’s hitting a tipping point and it’s all so wildly confusing and overwhelming.

    Beyond that, having the opportunity every week here in my own community to feed the most humble of meals to the underserved, to those without homes and those without the means, many times, to get themselves a meal of any kind – my focus has really shifted to making health as accessible and inclusive as possible.

    Here’s a Reminder / Insider Pro-tip for You –
    NOT a SINGLE ONE of these Things are NECESSARY to Living Well and Being Healthy:
