Agave, stevia, honey, coconut sugar….what sweetener to use?

These days, many people try to limit their processed sugar intake and are interested in natural substitutes. But which one should you pick? A few years ago, when I got diagnosed with fructose malabsorption and had to also cut out white sugar, I researched this a lot and it was very confusing. However, given the […]

Fittpass.com – great for fitness class deals

I love the fittpass.com concept because it offers something all of us Mammas want today: flexibility. You go on the site, pick the studio, gym, activity and area you are interested in and you get daily/weekly/monthly packages for less than if you went directly to the establishment itself.

DNA testing – you have more control over genes than you think

All things related to science and the body fascinate me, but there are a few topics that I feel are huge game changers in medicine today and that too few people know about. DNA testing is one of them. I have benefited from my own DNA findings and really encourage everyone to do the same because understanding your […]

My go-to detox supplement

DIM – diindolylmethane – is a compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and certain greens. It is said to not only promote better estrogen metabolism in both women and men but also has strong cancer-fighting properties. If you’re thinking “I don’t have hormonal issues so this doesn’t concern me”, think again. With all […]
