Watermelon Cucumber Popsicles

In need of a nutrient-dense summer treat? Homemade popsicles are refreshing and so easy to make!

We chose ingredients that are hydrating and great for decreasing belly bloat - think watermelon, cucumber, and yogurt. 

Cucumber, which is 95% water, is an excellent source of the anti-inflammatory polyphenol quercetin. (1) The L-Citrulline found in watermelon can improve heart health and exercise performance. (2) Together, they create a crave-worthy flavor profile you might find at a gourmet popsicle truck. 

Add a dose of healthy fats and protein with the addition of coconut milk, plus sweetness from strawberries and honey. 

These make for an energizing, rehydrating snack on active summer days. Enjoy one after a run or bike ride, or after a grilled supper as a light dessert. 

Alternate ingredients listed for vegan popsicles.

Theta Healing, Emotions & Toxicity

ThetaHealing is a meditative, spiritual healing technique that aims to identify and shift limiting beliefs stored in the subconscious mind. It was developed by Vianna Stibal in 1995 after her own healing experience.

The name comes from the theta brainwave state—a deeply relaxed, semi-hypnotic state associated with meditation, intuition, and subconscious reprogramming.

The Balanced Healer: Honoring the Gifts - and Boundaries- of This Archetype

For those of us drawn to helping—whether through our work, our relationships, or simply the way we move through the world—there is a quiet, powerful archetype that lives within us: the healer.

 

This part of us is intuitive, nurturing, and deeply attuned to the needs of others. We hold space. We offer care. We see potential and offer hope. It’s a beautiful gift.

 

But even the brightest light can cast a shadow….

Toxic Mold & Your Immunity

Before I found out about my mold exposure, and I had some years of increased colds, sore throats and chronic chills. It was frustrating.

Little did I know my immune system has reached a state of severe depression after prolonged mold exposure. 

Generally, when the immune system encounters a new threat, it revs up into action. This may show in a heightened WBC count. But it is not designed to deal with a prolonged threat.

Mold, Constipation and the Vagus Nerve

Constipation is a common symptom in modern life, affecting up to 27% of the population, and it's common after toxic mold exposure. Coach Micki says she sees in about 90% of the time on our clients! If you are not dealing with constipation as a symptom, you may have loose stool or nausea. But why is this happening?
