Saying goodbye to my previous career to exclusively work my side hustle and travel has been a transformative experience. It has not only provided financial stability but has also enriched my life in ways I could have never imagined. Now, I can work from any corner of the globe with a laptop and a reliable internet connection—from bustling cafes in European cities to serene beaches in Southeast Asia.
My side hustle is a skill that will work no matter what’s going on in other markets. No matter how high interest rates are spiking. No matter what the Federal Reserve has to say. No matter how much or little inventory is available. This side hustle will help you make money outside of your normal work environment forever.
If you’re feeling stuck in your current position, don’t be afraid to explore new avenues and consider a side hustle I’m living proof that it can be done! Life is too short to settle for anything less than what truly makes you happy. Cheers to embracing change, pursuing dreams, and living life to the fullest!
Everyone is getting sick now so it is a good idea to stay out of other folks faces. You know RSV, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Flu A & B are going around. So many people are showing up at urgent care, daily. after all, it’s winter and this year’s weather is making it worse.
They all need to be treated symptomatically, these are all viruses, that can last up to two or three weeks, especially walking pneumonia—which can leave you with a hacking cough for months.
There’s no antibiotic treatment for viruses so, .over the counter Mucinex DM (and the like) will loosen all the mucus and thin it out. Increasing fluids, also helps so go heavy on the water intake!
Using a humidifier if you have one will help keep your lungs clear of mucous,.
Take hot steamy showers with vapor tablets— it will feel like heaven and help loosen the mucous.
Take cough medicine for your cough (if you get rid of the mucus, you get rid of the cough) Take Tylenol/ibuprofen for your fever, pain, headaches, etc.. Also, sinus flushing (sinus suction for the toddlers) or a netipot can be one of the best things you can do for the sinus pressure headaches.
If you have a nebulizer, use it every four to six hours (especially if you are asthmatic). If you don’t have the solution from the doctor, mix two cups of sterile water (bottled or boiled) with one teaspoon of salt. Believe it or not, it will help to break up all that mucus in your lungs, chest, and sinuses.
I have been taking this product since June 2024. I have to say that it is an absolute game changer for mental clarity and consistent focus ability. One small capsule per day first thing in the morning, and it literally lasts all day long. I feel amazing. I am fully alert and focused throughout the entire day.
Artificial Sweetener called Aspartame is actually a brain drug that stimulates your brain so you think that the food you’re eating tastes sweet. You’ll notice that when using Aspartame everything you eat at the same time also tastes sweet.
Aspartame breaks down to Aspartic Acid 40%, Phenylalanine 50%, and Methanol 10%at 86 degrees—which to some, it becomes as poisonous concoction For example, there is mounting evidence that the “Burning Mouth Syndrome” experienced by the Desert Storm troops was actually Methanol poisoning from the Diet Coke they heavily drank after it had been exposed to desert temperatures.
Aspartames 40% Aspartic Acid is an “excitotoxin” in the brain and excites neurons to death, that is, it kills brain cells and causes other nerve damage and it triggers Migraine Headaches. If you consume foods containing aspartame and begin to display some of the symptoms displayed below, you may want to stop. using those products to see if your symptoms showing sign of improvement. Sometimes, avoiding added chemicals is the best action you can take.
YES, cauliflower rice can be a healthy alternative to white rice.
Let’s face it, rice in general has no flavor it’s more of a texture, which makes cauliflower rice is a great choice for adding to your meal where you would normally want a rice. For example in a quick stir fry or in a dish like chicken cacciatore. Plus cauliflower rice is low in calories and carbohydrates, and can be a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins.Here are some things to know about this versatile side dish:
•Calories: One cup of cauliflower rice has 25 calories, compared to white rice or potatoes both of which can be high in calories
•Carbohydrates: Cauliflower rice can have up to 89% fewer carbohydrates than white rice per serving.
•Fiber: Cauliflower is a good source of fiber, which can help you feel full and eat fewer calories throughout the day.
•Antioxidants: Cauliflower rice is packed with antioxidants.
Youdon’t even have to rice. your own head of cauliflower as you can buy frozen cauliflower rice to make your meal prepping easy. You can purchase cauliflower rice in almost any store in the frozen food section.
New research reveals that vitamin D may play a more significant role in overall health than previously understood. A comprehensive review of 99 randomized, controlled trials involving over 17,000 participants worldwide offers new insights into the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation.
Key findings suggest that taking an average of 3,320 IU of vitamin D daily may lead to improvements in several health markers:
reduced blood pressure
lower overall cholesterol
decreased Hemoglobin A1C
improved fasting blood glucose and insulin levels
Many of you only take 2000 IU’s, and this suggests that may not be enough. Remember that D3/K2 is critical to help get the vitamin D out of the blood (which can lead to calcifications) and to the bones where it is needed!
Did you know that olives are a fruit? And just like fruit juice, olive oil tastes best and is the most nutritious when it’s fresh.
Fresh-pressed olive oil has the highest levels of antioxidants, polyphenols, and a unique anti-cancer compound called Oleocanthol.
But there’s a problem: According to Forbes, “It’s been reliably reported that 80% of the Italian olive oil on the market is fraudulent. A study last year by the National Consumer League found that six of 11 bottles of Extra Virgin olive oil from three major retailers—Whole Foods, Safeway, and Giant—failed to meet Extra Virgin requirements.” Yes, many olive oil companies produce low quality olive oil diluted with other oils, and some companies sell “olive oil” that isn’t even made from olives!
In his book, Extra Virginity, olive oil expert, Tom Mueller, warns of contaminants and cancer-causing agents in these fake olive oils: “Italian investigators have found hydrocarbon residues, pesticides, and other contaminants in fake oils, and pomace oil, a common adulterant, sometimes contains mineral oil as well as PAHs, proven carcinogens that can also damage DNA and the immune system.”
So how do you know if it’s authentic?
The Label: The label should indicate the harvest date and whether the oil has been blended with other oils. Look for a quality seal from the International Olive Council (IOC) for European oils or the California Olive Oil Council for American oils, which indicate that the oil has been tested and meets certain standards.
The Bottle: The bottle should be dark colored glass to protect against UV Ray exposure
The Taste: Authentic EVOO has a bright flavor with hints of fruit, grass, and almond, and a slightly bitter, peppery aftertaste. Low-quality or “fake” EVOO may taste dull, greasy, waxy, or crayon-like, or have no flavor.

Someone one once asked me “What do carrots do?” I absolutely couldn’t answer, other than providing vitamins for the eyes and vitamin A I had no idea of what carrots do!
Since then I’ve learned that there are three compounds found in carrots: falcarinol, luteolin, and beta-carotene, can all cause apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells. Luteolin and beta-carotene are very anti-angiogenic, which means they help stop blood vessels supply to tumors.
Luteolin upregulates the tumor supressor gene p53 that is normally downregulated in cancer. It also down regulates the WNT-beta catenin, which is normally over-expressed in many cancers. Luteolin downregulates P13k pathway. P13k regulates cell survival, proliferation and increased expression is associated with tumor progression. When over expressed it reduces apoptosis (cell death) and allows proliferation. Luteolin downregulates MUC1; a sticky protein that coats cancer cells in a protective layer, making it difficult for anti-cancer substances and medicines to permeate the cancer cell. Luteolin activates AMPK . AMPK inhibits MTOR another pathway related to cancer progression.
Luteolin and Beta-carotene downregulate VEGF pathways that are over expressed in many cancers. VEGF pathway stimulates cancer cell growth. Luteolin and Beta-carotene enhance insulin sensitivity!
Beta Carotene, luteolin, and falcarinol help repair normal function to the PPAR pathway, which regulates how certain genes are expressed and how fats and glucose are used in the body. It plays an important role in regulating cell proliferation and tumor growth. Beta-carotene and luteolin down regulate MMP. MMP (matrix metalloproteinases) contributes to angiogenesis or blood supply to the tumor.
Falcarinol, betacarotene and lycopene lower inflammatory pathways by effecting TNF-A, IL-1, IL 6, and Cox-2. Falcarinol suppresses the Notch pathway and shows the potent antiproliferative activity by selectively killing colorectal cancer cells and repressing tumor growth, without affecting normal colon epithelial cells! The study can be found here! Falcarinol is a POTENTimmune stimulator. Beta carotene and luteolin also stimulate the immune system. Falcarinol, Luteolin activates PTEN, a major tumor suppressor gene. Falcarinol induced a gut bacteria change in rats that led to a decrease in chemically induced neoplasms. Study here! Falcarinol is antifungal and antibacterial!
Here’s a great article on retinoids in carrots potently repairing common dysregulated pathways in colorectal cancer, even the APC “genetic” polyp disorder associated with some colorectal cancers!
Endocannabinoid system- THC binds with CB1, so does carrots! Study here!
Carrots and terpenes. Carrots have 31 terpenoids! Terpenoids have been shown to potently inhibit cancer!
Carrots are high in pectin surprisingly! Pectins make it hard for cancer cells to adhere therefore, carrots help prevent metastasis. Pectins can also cause direct cancer cell death for some types of cancer. If you want more pectin, Modified Citrus Pectin is a supplement some people take.
If you’ve made it all the way through this article to ask “What about all that sugar?” A friend’s fasting blood sugar was pre-diabetic at 110 prior to diet change. Averaging about five pounds of carrots a day plus a fruit smoothie, it’s now around 70 NON-FASTING! Natural sugar is processed differently and each molecule of fruit/veggie sugar contains a plethera of anti-cancer substances!
If you’re interested in learning more about carrots and cancer, I highly recommend the bookKilling Cancer with Carrots!
Picture an olive branch. It’s a symbol of both health and longevity.
And rightfully so. Olives contain components that benefit the brain and heart, reduce cancer risk, aid in weight loss and increase longevity. Olives are high in monounsaturated fat. Studies show that a diet high in monounsaturated fatty acids are great for heart health because they
Reduce LDL cholesterol
Decrease Blood Pressure
Decrease A1c numbers
Improve Insulin sensitivity
Eating olives also increase our glutathione levels, which support our immune function. Plus, olives are fermented and fermented foods boost our microbiome and digestive health!
I add them to my salads or as a snack with my favorite cheese!
