I am a firm believer in juicing. I was initially introduced to it ten years ago in my search of that “magical weight loss pill”. And while I have always enjoyed fresh fruits and veggies I have also been guilty about not always incorporating them into my daily meals; so the idea of getting them in fresh juice seemed workable to me.

In my goal to lose weight and get healthier, the juicing made complete sense because if the body received what it needed then cravings would automatically dissipate; and if the nutrients from juicing provided more energy than I would be more apt to exercise regularly.

In addition to what I was seeking personally, I saw it as a benefit to the whole family. Because unlike me, they weren’t crazy about fresh vegetables but they considered fruit acceptable. Of course being a mom, I learned to “sneak” things in recipes anyway…so why couldn’t I do it for juicing.

So after many months of research and taste testing I bring to you the ultimate guide of tasty recipes that will detox and energize you!

Nutrition by Natalie What is the difference between organic food and conventional food? Is organic really more healthy for you? The USDA lays out certain guidelines that farms have to follow in order to be able to claim the food is organic. In this video Natalie discusses what each of those guidelines are. What is surprising to learn is some of the growing practices of conventional farming and food processing. As an example, chemical plants and waste water treatment facilities will actually sell their toxic waist to conventional farms to use for fertilizer. What you eat is an important part of health and nutrition.

The Juice Lady’s Live Food Lifestyle builds on what Cherie Calbom’s recent book, The Juice Lady’s Turbo Juice Diet, started. Known around the country as “the Juice Lady,” nutrition expert Cherie Calbom explains the benefits of living foods (raw foods), based on new scientific research that shows that biophotons in plants carry light energy into our bodies, which helps our cells communicate with each other. Cooking food kills these biophotons and leaves the body craving the energy and nutrients it needs to function at a healthy, vibrant level. But you don’t have to switch your diet to a 100 percent raw foods diet. By simply adding more raw foods to your diet, you can increase your body’s intake of these beneficial nutrients.

In addition to a 64-page, four-color recipe section, shopping lists, menu plans, and other practical advice, the author presents a living foods lifestyle plan for conquering adrenal fatigue (which some health organizations are calling “the new American epidemic”), busting candida (yeast infections), achieving weight loss, boosting your immune system, balancing your thyroid function, and more. Fight illness and slow the aging process in your body by starting the Juice Lady’s living foods lifestyle today!

This book is a Handbook designed to aid you in dealing with the most difficult issues of the heart. The Handbook is divided into two parts for the Christian counselor, or leader. The first section defines tools and principles for dealing with the most difficult of Issues. The second section sets for Need Oriented Behavior as a primary cause – effect for difficult destructive systems of behavior. Using a conservative Biblical foundation, Dr. Bob adds his expertise from his field of Psychology to provide an effective counseling model called "Christ-O-Therapy." Within this model you will be guided through "soul mapping" and the use of other tools, so as to discover the "cause and effect" of your own "issues." Understanding does not remove the problem, but it is frequently the first step along the journey to wholeness. The focus of Bob & Laura's work for the past 12 years has been in local church consultation and pastor's conferences. They help local churches navigate crisis situations through "Life Coaching" and "Intensives" (a 6-month program for local pastors dealing with Personal Growth, Ministry Skill Development, & Ministry Strategy Development). Consulting with a team of other professionals and leaders, they work in developing strategies, problem solving, leadership training, and counseling development. Most recently Bob & Laura have develop a six part, three level, training course for church counselors. These three seminars are being developed on "DVD" and VHS in 5 different languages for international distribution. These seminars are entitled "Issues of the Heart." These manuals were the topic of Bob's doctoral dissertation in Psychology. Bob holds a second masters and doctorate in Theology. Bob & Laura have three adult children, Rebekah, Rachael & Ben, and five grandchildren.
