New website! And what does it mean to be “Holistic”?

Dear Readers! Welcome to my new website!

I am so excited to share with you my knowledge and ongoing discoveries in Holistic Living. You can look forward to posts about nutrition, mindfulness, supplementation, alternative therapies and natural remedies, all with a holistic backbone.

What is it to live holistically? It means to nurture our whole being, that is, our physical, mental, and spiritual selves, in natural and noninvasive ways. This involves taking great care with our diet (food, beverages, also supplementation), lifestyle (work, sleep, play and exercise habits, chemical exposure), and the psycho-spiritual (mindfulness, connection, love, meditation).

Someone who lives a holistic lifestyle believes that overall health and wellness is the sum of these parts, and that mind-body-soul is absolutely interdependent. When any of these systems are neglected, ones quality of life is compromised, and physical and mental symptoms often arise (e.g. food cravings, depression, bloat, headaches).

What does Holistic Living look like? It incorporates seasonal locally-grown vegetables and grass-fed local beef, drinking herbal teas to detoxify & soothe, and taking supplements where extra support is needed. It also means self-acceptance and “tuning in” to yourself and the wonderful world around you. It means dancing, laughing, singing, playing, loving and daydreaming. It means embracing YOU, as nature intended.

“The road to better health will not be found through more drugs, doctors and hospitals. Instead it will be discovered through better nutrition and changes in lifestyle.” – William Crook, MD
