GUEST POST BY DANI PEPPER.

Our skin is the largest organ of our body and it’s also an excretory organ, meaning it’s a means for removing unwanted materials from our bodies. Our bodies are super clever and try to communicate with us by getting our attention. Wrinkling, dimpling and break-outs are our bodies way of screaming for attention and should signal to you that something is amiss internally.

Way back before I really and truly understood the limitless benefits of living a wellness warrior lifestyle, vanity was the driving force behind so many of my lifestyle decisions. Which is why I believe the message in this article will have such a wide reach. If you won’t refrain from eating chemicals to save your ass, maybe you will do so in order to save the size of it.

I’ve Started Eating Clay. You Should Too!

No, I’m not crazy. I’ve haven’t gone and contracted pica (the name of the disease given to people who eat dirt). Eating clay is actually a very clever, amazing health-promoting thing to do.

As I wrote here, I am on a mission to eliminate toxic heavy metals from my body. Thanks to the chemotherapy I had four years ago, my body is still weighed down by them. However, even without chemo poison, many of us are heavy metal contaminated. This is thanks to pollutants in the air, at the hairdresser, at the petrol station, in our seafood, in our water, in our cosmetics, in tattoos – and pretty much everything else we consume. So, this is just one of the reasons why I have taken to eating a spoonful of dirt each morning.

  Nothing makes me crankier than seeing big companies trying to pull a fast one on us by luring us in with their claims of being all “natural” and “organic”. We aren’t silly, but we are busy and many of us will fall for these claims if they are presented convincingly enough. When I first… Read More

Guest post by Lee Holmes. Green juices are the best medicine we can give our bodies, and are particularly beneficial for those who have digestive system or mal-absorption issues. Juice is easily absorbed as juicing breaks down the cell walls of fruits and vegetables so that they are pre-digested already. This means that the power-packed… Read More

The short answer to the question posed in today’s headline is “yes”. Most protein powders are rubbish for your body, particularly the ones you see lined up and being promoted at your local gym. They are often pushed onto fitness junkies and touted as a “necessary companion to your workout”, but in reality these synthetic… Read More

I have one fat arm. I’m not complaining or saying this out of vanity, although I would like to trade wings with Jennifer Aniston, but for the sake of this article I’m simply stating a fact. The reason it is fat is because way back when I was first diagnosed with cancer, my arm was… Read More

Did you know there is one common denominator when it comes to pretty much all chronically ill people? No, I’m not talking about being able to stay home and watch daytime TV, although that seems to be pretty standard also. For the purposes of this post, I’m talking about having a deficiency in a molecule… Read More
