In 1976 I was a very young mother struggling to find myself; to discover the “me” that I sensed was there (here). I knew there was more to me than this meat suit I carried around, but she was someone I rarely caught glimpses of. And someone I wanted to know. I say “find myself,” because in essence that is what we’re all seeking, the one that exists within.

​ The juicing craze is sweeping across the globe at such a pace there is hardly a soul that hasn’t encountered someone who is juicing. Now I’m not saying it’s crazy to juice, I’m saying it’s very popular. Unlike most diets that don't work, juicing actually addresses most causes of illness (malnutrition) by supplying much needed nutrients that are impossible to get from the Standard American Diet or SAD.

After 40 plus years I thought I had a pretty good handle on foods and nutrition. How in the world did this one get passed me? I knew it wasn't healthy, but I had no idea just how bad it really is.

I know what you’re thinking, EVERYBODY gets sick. Ok, that’s true. But what if I told you, getting sick is a choice and doesn’t happen by mistake? Yes, there are about 10% of us that are unlucky, however… What makes me so different from most people? First of all, I don’t like to be miserable and I don’t want to slow down. Nope, there isn’t much that will keep me planted to a chair or couch, except exhaustion or my meditation time! My kids used to tell me, “Mom, you never sit
