    November Update

    I’m on a roll for missing things these days! I missed the October Update – which I just realized yesterday. I missed Make it Happen Monday last week (sorry!) ! I have never claimed to be the most organized person ever. Maybe that should be my goal for 2018… which is slowly sneaking up on…

    Keep Cooking with Rosemary 

    Sometimes we become so focused on so called ‘SUPER FOODS’ in nutrition that we forget that some of our pantry staples also contain some pretty cool benefits. Rosemary is a piney-smelling herb used commonly in cooking – you’ve probably added it before to a soup, stew, or stuffing. For that reason, it always reminds me…

  • Anxiety: How Long Does it take to Heal?

    Anxiety: How Long Does it take to Heal?

    Confession: I read a lot of other people’s blog posts about anxiety. To be honest, even though most are complete strangers, it makes me feel connected in a way I can’t find elsewhere. I feel like we all share in something – something awful, but special – something that only if you’ve lived through it…

  • Are you High in Estrogen? 

    Are you High in Estrogen? 

    The role of our hormones are way underplayed when it comes to talking about health and wellness. And they shouldn’t be! Our hormones are so powerful. We have hunger hormones, sleep hormones, and sex hormones. The best way of thinking about hormones plainly is thinking of them as instructions that tell our body what to…

    Monday! My favourite day of the week. Why? Because I love getting super-charged for the week on a Monday. Hence why I post a Make it Happen Monday every Monday here on Standing Strong Wellness!

    #betterskin Challenge – Final Update 

    Hi guys! Last we left off on the #betterskin Challenge – week 4 – I really didn’t feel like I was where I wanted to be. You know why? Because good skin isn’t made overnight or errrr, even in 4 weeks! It takes time, diligence – perseverance! But the patience pays off, I promise you!…
