Cholesterol is wrongly demonized. It is actually essential for life and health, that is why our body makes it. Cholesterol is a fat-like, waxy substance that helps your body make cell membranes, many hormones, and vitamin D. The cholesterol in your blood comes from two sources: the foods you eat and your liver. Sugars and carbs and insulin is what makes it a problem, not fats.

R3 is your answer!
What Is R3? R3 stands for Reset, Reintroduce, and Real Life.
It’s a six-week program designed to help anyone reset their metabolism, establish proper hunger patterns, break food addictions, and shift from fat-storing mode into fat-burning mode while enjoying real food for the rest of their lives. And all this is done without counting calories, weighing food, or eliminating entire food groups.
R3 has a Yes List and a No List of foods to eat or avoid. These simple lists are followed strictly during the first two weeks of the program. During subsequent weeks, participants learn how and when to add foods from the No List back into their diet in healthy ways that won’t sabotage their weight loss goals.
With R3, uou can lose weight and live a healthy lifestyle while still eating the foods you enjoy.
If you feel you want to feel and look better, why not try the R3 program yourself?
I’m always happy to share R3. It is a FREE program for everyone. About three times a year R3 offers a six-week challenge to get you rolling for $10.
With the fee you get a great support group, meal suggestions and recipes, exercise groups, prizes and more. It is so worth it!
It’s time to create a healthy relationship with food.

It’s hot and sizzling…time for BBQ! So, what’s a BBQ without the best beef you can get?
I have been buying this amazing beef for more than a year now and haven’t been disappointed.
If you try this brand, you will never go back to store bought beef.
Trust me! It’s that good!
But there’s a bigger picture. Studies suggest that frequent family dinners help prevent issues such as eating disorders, alcohol and substance use, depression, and suicidal thoughts in teens.
We live in a world where we are less connected than ever before, so why not use cooking as a way to build friendships and family relationships!
We all know that sugar is not good for us for a plethora of reasons, but did you know that excess blood sugar can lead to GLYCATION which accelerates body wide aging.
Diabetics already suffer accelerated glycation, but the destruction that happens from glycation can happen to people with normal blood glucose levels as well.
Thiamine is a B vitamin you get from foods like whole grains, meat, legumes and nuts. It helps cells in your body grow and work and is essential for energy production and brain health. Research suggests that Vitamin B1 (thiamine) can prevent diabetes induced damage in eyes, hearts and kidneys.
Remember, if you take B Vitamins, make sure they are methylated to ensure your body can absorb them.
You hear me yapping about how I can promise you better, safer and less expense in your shopping if you shop where I do.
This week I received another reminder—my monthly shipment of Riverbend Ranch beef is coming soon, but I needed more ground beef before it arrived for an upcoming barbecue get-together. I ran out to a local store even though I am committed to wholesome beef when I am cooking – it is a major part of my eating to help me stay in focus. I was surprised when I picked up my package, I am pretty sure I hid my “sticker shock” when I paid for it.
I’m also pretty sure the store brand is not PRIME or HIGH CHOICE that was aged for 21 days right on the ranch Like my Riverbend Ranch beef is. Plus, it was nearly twice the price at $10.10 per pound. My Riverbend Ranch is $5.50 per pound (in a combo pack)
RIVERBEND RANCH BLACK LABEL IS:
– Never Raised with hormones or antibiotics. NEVER EVER!
– Every cut is graded USDA Prime or High Choice and aged 21 days for maximum flavor and tenderness.
– Fully vertically integrated. We control quality through every step in the supply chain.
– Humanely treated and pasture-raised in open spaces by their own mothers.
– An extraordinary value for unmatched quality and flavor!
Take t from me, it is worth it!
Often, we are attracted to products that will help us slow down the aging process, such as anti-aging skin care. But what about taking a proactive approach to staying young by AVOIDING habits that ACCELERATE the aging process?
When you read the Fox News article , overall, none of this should be new to you by now, except #8. That might be a surprise. But the two habits that you have the most control over are #3 and #4.
Which habit can you most easily improve upon?
A recent clinical study showed that biological brain aging was reversed among participants who were in a nutritional supplement program for 13 months.
In the study, participants were assigned to take a tailored program of supplements that included (but not limited to)
Using a quantitative electroencaphalogram, brain biologial age was estimated before and after the program. Participants who consumed the supplements had a brain biological age that averaged 2.83 years younger that the age measured at the beginning of the study.
You are going to see more studies regarding reverse aging, which is very exciting!
At the beginning of this year, the USDA established some new rules for labeling on controversial modified crops and ingredients. Previously, these rules varied state by state and now there is a more universal approach to labeling “BE’s”.
Simply put, bioengineered food is any food that’s been genetically modified, or GMO’s. Below is a small taste of some of our food supply that has been are genetically modified/bioengineered, but I could post dozens of foods.
These actually say that they are BE in tiny letters but many others don’t. They can just put a BE seal, a QR code that you have to scan or a phone number.
Most children’s cereals, PopTarts, Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup, Dannon Light & Fit yogurt,
Believe it or not, even Argo Baking Powder has bioengineered ingredients in it.
This is a controversial subject. Some feel strongly about it, while the government will tell you GMO’s are safe.

Our liver is a gland that makes necessary chemicals for our bodies. It also acts as a filter, 24/7. They help to process toxins and makes bile that helps to breakdown food. It eliminates old red blood cells, and so much more.
Different conditions and disorders can affect the liver.
Below are just a few symptoms that can indicate your liver may be needing a check up:
Poor digestion and bloating
Bad Breath
Lack of appetite for meat
Brain fog
Skin issues such as acne, rashes
Chronic fatigue
Discolored pale stool
Nausea
Trouble digesting fatty foods
Bad PMS
Chemical sensitivities and allergies
