Healthy holistic living is a lifelong, passionate topic here, and I have been thrilled to hear feedback from customers/friends who are wanting to incorporate more into their lives and want some pointers.
While I am working on a better-put-together page for the information....there is A LOT to be said and shared, -I have started a very brief list of some of my favorite, respectable resources down below, just to get it out there and started.
***Always know your body***
***Be sure to consult with your health practitioner as needed.***
***Functional Medicine Practitioners and Chiropractors are good options for your holistic health care needs.***
