Have you heard of Celiac Disease? Gaining Health While on Survivor I believe the first time I heard the term Celiac, or gluten free was from Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Currently, Elisabeth is a co-host on ABC's The View. However, as you might recall, Elisabeth was on the reality TV show Survivor. It was on Survivor that she realized something was wrong with her diet. She felt much better "starving" in the Australian Outback then she did eating back at home. After the … [Read more...]
I recently returned from a couple of weeks vacation (and working remotely) in Orlando, FL. While there, I was on a mission to buy organic and gluten free food for my stay. As a customer (and Mission Marketer) with Beyond Organic, I had some food shipped to the place where I was staying. I was definitely thankful for that option. I knew that whether or not I could find organic food locally, at least I would have some food that was good for me. Due to food allergies, my quest to find … [Read more...]
Generation of Convenience I am a big proponent of organic -- but I am also a product of Generation X. Our generation grew up in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Today, we are in our 30’s and 40’s. During our lives, many new advancements and changes have occurred -- some for the good -- like making the term, "organic" hip -- and others purporting to be good, in the name of expediency. Because of this, I believe our generation can be labeled the ‘generation of convenience’, as … [Read more...]

It’s hard for me to believe, but I have been living without wheat for a couple of years. I never knew I had food allergies until after going through a Standard Process cleanse. After 3 weeks of food elimination, I began to reintroduce food groups one by one. It was time for me to add wheat back into my diet. After eating some bread, my throat felt a little tight. Hoping it wasn’t true, I tried wheat again the next day. Shortly after eating it, my … [Read more...]

Due to cross contamination issues, Subway wants to make sure they get it right. Subway has spent much time training their employees with instructions, presentations, demonstrations and monthly … [Read more...]
