11 coffee alternatives to try for natural energy and better health

11 coffee alternatives to try for natural energy and better health

Drinking coffee is a sacred event to me. I am not one to take a sip and leave it on the counter to get cold. I only prepare my coffee when I am ready to sit down and savour it as part of my daily ritual. 

This is especially truer now in my life that I have chosen to reduce my coffee habit down to only one or 1.5 per day. It makes that sacred coffee even more sacred! 

I used to drink four cups a day, all before 9 am. For real. It was when my kids were little, I was exhausted all the time, and I was under extreme stress and pressure with the business I had at the time. And my health was suffering as a result. 

Now I am finding natural ways to boost my energy with coffee alternatives such as elixirs, herbal teas, fresh fruit waters and more. I have made the switch and seriously reduced my coffee intake because my cortisol and hormones were giving me big signs that the coffee was doing more harm than good. 

If you can relate, then keep reading to find out what to drink instead that is still fun, brings you joy and is as tasty as coffee!

How Can Probiotics Help My Angry Skin to Look and Feel Happier?

As a Certified Aesthetics Nutritional Professional, CNAP (meaning I am trained in how nutrition affects skin), I get these questions a fair bit. Let's dive in and get to the bottom of this topic in a moment.

But first...before we do that I just want to preface this discussion by saying that your skin is only "angry" if you deem it so. We don't like to label any skin condition as a "problem" unless you are here because you think it is a problem.

You are beautiful in whatever skin you are in be it acne-prone, aging, inflamed or any other skin challenge you face. We do not define beauty as "perfect" skin. Perfection doesn't exist! But if you do want to have healthier looking skin, you are in the right place. 

Now let's talk about how probiotics can help your skin to look and feel happier. Can they? The short is answer is YES. Taking a daily probiotic is always a good idea no matter what your skin health status is. 
Let's find out why and how probiotics, prebiotics and foods can help your skin to look and feel happier!

Natural Deodorant 101: Expert Advice on Detoxing and Other Myths

You may have decided it's time to make the switch to a natural deodorant after this trend has been sweeping Amazon, online store shelves and armpits now for almost a decade in a big way. And it isn't slowing down anytime soon.

But how on earth do people survive making the switch to natural deodorant?

You've heard the (horror) stories from friends and co-workers about how they tried a natural deodorant and had horrific body odour before noon that day! We all have heard them, maybe even lived them.

Or perhaps you heard about a friend that went through a "detox" process for a month and then they were fine with their switch to natural deodorant. 

Maybe you made the switch already during the global pandemic while working from home or maybe you are just plain resisting it because even at home alone you aren't willing to give up your trusted and true anti-perspirant in lieu of wicked body odour.

I get it. Change is hard.
