I had heard that magnesium was a supplement we should be taking on the regular, but wanted to do my own research about it before adding it to my roster of vitamins. Through some searching, I found an amazing blog post written on the Goodness Me! blog. I have taken some of the important points…
Oil’ove You!
Last week we talked about some of the reasons why the oil you choose to cook with MATTERS! I thought this week I would highlight my 2 favourite cooking oils – Avocado oil and Coconut Oil. Avocado Oil Avocado oil is super versatile and it has replaced my everyday cooking oils like olive oil and…
Put down the oil…
Since starting on this health journey, one of the most shocking things I learned is that not all oils are safe to cook with. Is this news to you too? I wouldn’t doubt it. Many of us have never been told that any difference exists between the oils we choose to cook with – and…

Over the past few decades, salt has gotten a bad reputation! If there is ONE thing I want you to take away from this post, it’s that not all salt is bad. REAL salt is actually good for you! What is REAL salt? Why is it different? When I say “real” salt, I mean unrefined…

When in doubt, throw it out!!
If you’re like me, you’ve probably made more than one phone call to your mom asking “how long is chicken good for?” Or “can I still eat the cooked beef from a few nights ago?” These are good questions – and if you’re not sure, it’s a good thing you’re questioning it enough to call…
What’s “Bagel Brain”?!
Earlier this week I talked about Dr. William Davis and his extensive research and experience on what effects wheat has on the body. Well if you found my last post interesting, there’s much more where that came from! This video from Dr. Davis explains what wheat does to your brain….
To Wheat, or not to Wheat?
Don’t let the title of this post make you roll your eyes! I know, I know – everyone seems to be “gluten-free” these days, making it seem like more of a fad diet than something done for good reason. I want this post to enlighten you so that you can make your own decision about…
About Me
Thanks for joining me! My name is Jessica. I’m 25 years old and have struggled with healthy eating my whole life. My biggest problem is that I LOVE sweets and HATE many vegetables. I tried to be healthy as best as I could by choosing things I thought had nutritional value or foods packaged up…
