    "Are you tired, run down, listless? Do you pop out at parties?"

    We grew up watching the old TV show, I love Lucy. One of the classics episodes is when she goes to do a commercial for Vitameatavegamin (whatever that is). Haha Goes something like this... Lucy: Well, I'm your Vitavigavegivat Girl. Are you tired, run down, listless? Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular? [pause] Lucy: Well, are you? The answer to all your problems is in this little ol' bottle, Vitameatavegamin. Honestly, the answer isn't Vitameatavegamin...its Adrenal Fatigue. Take a listen and learn all about Adrenal Fatigue, what it is, symptoms, and how to manage and heal your body. As always, remember its just about taking the next right easy step.

    To smell, or not to smell, that is the question.

    We know, we’ve just become very unpopular. First sugar (episode 2) and gluten (episode 4), and now FRAGRANCE. We really do hope you stick around! All jokes aside, fragrance isn’t as hard of a topic as one might think. It’s in everything, and the “f” word is in all of our products. So, in a sense we all are familiar with the word and that it gives off an aroma in every product we use. In this Episode, we dive into what feels like hundreds of ingredients that make up the one word, fragrance. If after listening to this episode you want to know more, watch the documentary “Stink.” You can also read the below article too. Stink:  On YouTube: youtu.be/8nhcKn4_xLk On Prime: www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B01BPNV6XU/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r Article: draxe.com/health/dangers-synthetic-scents/ Remember, it’s just about taking the next right step 4ward. So, start with one room at a time! Like the bathroom or the kitchen, every time you finish a product replace it with on that doesn't have the word fragrance listed on the back. Or if you’re brave, just through it all out and start again. Haha There are great alternatives out there for the things you love. If you want to know our favorites, just DM us and we’ll also share on IG just stay tuned. Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/4ward.life

    Dare we say gluten!

    What the GF?? We mean, what the gluten free?? Haha Episode 4 get a little life update from all 4 of us (Ashley, Victoria, Scarlett, and Melanie). This week’s topic is….GLUTEN! We know, it’s not the most popular topic to talk about because who doesn’t like bread, pasta, pizza, cake, or cookies?!?! Did you know you can have all those things without the inflammation that gluten brings?? Some Side Effects of Gluten: Digestive Problems (bloating and gas) Stomach Pain Depression Fatigue Brain Fog Rashes Ulcers Mouth Sores Safe “Flours” to Eat: Almond Flour Arrowroot Flour Chickpea Flour Coconut Flour Tapioca Flour Cassava Flour Remember, not all Gluten Free products are safe to eat because of the extra ingredients added. Like sugars, see Episode 2. Check out our Instagram @4ward.life for GF recipes and brands we like and trust. Remember, its just about taking the next right step!

    Sugar, friend or foe??

    Not all sugar is equal! Not all sugar is bad for you! To answer the question, “friend or foe?” Some sugars are your FRIEND. But, yes, there are sugars out there that are FOE. STAY AWAY from those! In this Episode, learn some helpful tips and learn how you are NOT ALONE when it comes to sugar. Friendly Sugars: *Coconut Sugar Monkfruit Sugar *Raw Stevia *Raw Honey *Dark Robust Pure Maple Syrup Dates or Date Sugar *The sugars that the girls all like. Stabilizing your blood sugar: 1 tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar in water or not before eating a sweet can help stabilize your blood sugar.  Going on a good walk after eating a sweet can also stabilize your blood sugar, without having the nasty taste of Apple Cider Vinegar. haha A healthy gut is a health life. Don’t be fooled by the fake sugar out there, that is toxic to your body. Easy switch off of Coca Cola is, Zevia Cola. Just take the first easy step, and make a switch and eliminate soda. Remember, its just about taking the next easy step! You got this!
