Several months ago I went to my doctor to get blood work done. I never go to the doctor (excluding my yearly paps, gotta keep up with those!). I didn’t have anything wrong with me, I was just curious about my blood work. I wanted to know my levels of …
I’m a fan of detoxing. I love it. While a lot of people consider it unnecessary if you’re eating a healthy diet…they’re not right. Our bodies are constantly bombarded with toxins in a way that they never have been in human history. We are exposed to pollution, toxic chemicals, heavy …
