Holistic Health Heroes Kery Knutson

I'm celebrating 6 months of weekly episodes - YAY! 
That made me think -- why is alcohol the main celebration method in our society? 
As I say in the opening of this episode, I'm not here to tell you what to do. And at  the same time, I hope you'll listen to some hard-to-hear information about your "friend" (or foe) alcohol.
In my journey to improve my own health, I'm often thinking to myself "just-say-no when it comes to alcohol." But I don't always find that such an easy thing to do. Why? In this episode I discuss, why we want to drink and why it's natural to seek that feeling. Plus, several things every drinker should know about what constitutes 1 drink, and what it does to our brain and body.
Here are a few suggestions when it comes to supplements that can help support you if you decide to drink:

Oil of oregano is a supplement that I always have on hand. It has helped me out of a jam many times so I make sure it's  always stocked in my health-support toolkit. 
From bacterial infections, fungal infections, parasites, viruses and more, listen in to this "snack" of an episode to find out if Oil of Oregano oil is right for you.

Like I said, this was a RICH episode! I did intend that pun because when you taste the quality of Rallis Co. olive oil, you'll understand.

We found Rallis Co. sometime back and were intrigued by family business that goes back centuries, the full-of-life flavor profile of their oil and then the uniqueness of their brand.

If you're in Naples, FL you can find Rallis Olive Oil at our store, Nature's Garden. (2089 9th St. North, Naples, FL 34102)
If you'd like to learn more about Theo and all the products he's creating visit: https://www.rallisoliveoil.com 

Now, I have to go and take a few tablespoons of the Rallis Olive Oil based on the discoveries from this episode!

I find it ironic that I was stressing about getting this episode done on time and I was talking all about how holy basil can help overcome stress! :)

My curiosity has been piqued about herbalism lately. How fascinating is it that plants that have existed for centuries can still help support our bodies today?! I, for one, love that! 

And with chronic stress of the modern world forcing our minds and bodies out of balance, what better time than now to consider how herbs and adaptogens like holy basil can help.

Here are just a few articles referenced:
