Let's talk about wine!
As I get older, quality matters more and more in most areas of my life. Food needs to be window-worthy, and now, so does wine. You may have heard me mention this on the podcast recently, over and over, in fact...I've struggled with wine lately. Whether you're talking about wines from the grocery store or even expensive wines from the best wine shop in town, I have found that I toss and turn all night after drinking them, or I don't feel my best the next day.
Enter Dry Farm Wines!
I first learned about Dry Farm Wines in 2017 when Melanie Avalon and I interviewed Todd White, the company's founder. Todd is a self-described Biohacker who practices daily meditation, Wim Hof breathing, and cold thermogenesis, follows a ketogenic diet, and my favorite part...he lives a 22:2 intermittent fasting lifestyle!
I couldn't believe that wine quality could really make that much difference, so I continued to drink my regular wines, with a few shipments of Dry Farm Wines here and there. I even tried clean wine competitors. Well, I am here to say that after all of this experimentation, I am back with Dry Farm Wines for good. Yep. Wine quality really DOES make that much of a difference for me, especially in this season of my life. #HelloMenopause
What makes Dry Farm Wines special?
All of their wines are lab tested to ensure they are:

Meal Delivery Services Changed my life...
These photos show examples of some of the meals we have enjoyed over the years.
If you know me at all, you probably already know that I am CRAZY about meal delivery services. These services are perfect for the busy intermittent faster. Every day, I open the fridge and there are fresh ingredients, just like I would buy at the grocery store, in exactly the right portions for our dinner. I have discovered that I LOVE cooking...what I didn't like was meal planning and shopping for food. I have also discovered how much I love vegetables! It's been a lot of fun trying things I never would have thought to try on my own. I can't even remember what we used to eat, because I am such a fan of meal delivery services and will never go back. (We used to order so much pizza that one of our local delivery services gave us a Poinsettia as a thank-you two Christmases in a row. I'm not even kidding. Now, if you tried to make me order a pizza, I would be mad at you.)

Institute For Integrative Nutrition
I completed Health Coach training through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in 2019, and I loved their focus on bio-individuality. It matches everything I learned in 2017 when researching for my second book, Feast Without Fear. Yes, we are all different when it comes to what foods work well for our individual bodies! If you have ever dreamed of a career helping others meet their health related goals, click on the link, below, for a free curriculum guide. I'm so glad I went through their program.
Products and books I love
This is the vibration plate that I use--I have the Turbo.
It is a nice relaxing workout for someone like me, who doesn't want to do a traditional workout.
You say lazy, I say efficient!
There is also some compelling science supporting the use of these machines.
Here is one study:

And here is one more:

I love the LifePro Turbo because it is small enough to fit under the bed or the sofa and I can pull it out to get in my workout!

When I post photos of my meals, I always get a comment or two about the cow butter dish.

This is the DNA test that I used for both ancestry and health information.
After receiving my report from them, I was able to download my raw data and find out even more about myself.

I am amazed at how easy it is to bake bread.
This book has actually turned me into a confident baker.

If you have fresh bread, you are going to want spreadable butter.
Did you know that it's okay to keep your butter out on the counter, so that it stays soft and spreadable?
This large butter dish holds those large blocks of butter, such as the Kerrygold 1/2 pound blocks.

I love Michael Pollan, and this book is a great read.

Keep in mind that peppermint oil is in the grey area, which is explained here.

This is the type of magnesium I use. I take it every night at bedtime, as directed on the bottle. Of course, talk to your doctor or healthcare professional about any supplement questions that you may have.
