Living in today's fast-paced culture where we are bombarded with a million different options, opportunities, and decisions to make each day, it can be hard to find a good balance between saying YES to the life we want, without running ourselves ragged.   In this episode I'm sitting down to chat with Rachel Green, a city girl turned farmer's wife who has grown to love and cherish slow living, abut how we can find balance in the busy and create lives we love.   For the past six years Rachel has been serving women who want more from life - who want freedom to do what they love and live the life they dream of living too.   Through intentional business development, valuable education and resources, and a place of community, she is wholeheartedly devoted to giving women that dream and helping them pursue their passions.   She doesn't claim to have it all figured out - she's in the middle of it, just like you! But she strives to live her life for what really matters and take time to enjoy each day as it comes.   As a small business owner, wife and mother, she knows firsthand that it's hard to draw the line between our work and the rest of our lives. But, she believe that we can.   Thanks for listening to the Just Enjoy Health Podcast!

On this episode of Ask Dr. Meghan I am unpacking a big question. Elizabeth is basically asking what is the difference between Candida, parasites, SIBO, and gut dysbiosis.   Whew! It's a great question and one I am not really going to be able to answer because every body is so very different and requires an individualized treatment plan.    Yeast overgrowth treatment fact vs fiction. Same for SIBO, gut dysbiosis, or maybe compare/contrast these conditions. There's so much conflicting info out there, it can be overwhelming. -Elizabeth   I hope you enjoy this episode of Ask Dr. Meghan! Don't forget to email me or hop on over to our Facebook Community to ask all your questions and maybe be featured on the next Ask Dr. Meghan episode!

When you put on your makeup or wash your hair, are you looking at the ingredients to see what you are putting in your body?

So many people think that a calorie is just a calorie, but it's not as simple as that. God made your body to be a science factory and you should be supplying that factory with nutrient dense food!   Today on the podcast I am NOT going to be telling you how many calories you should be eating. Nope. This episode I am going to tell you about what calories are and how they work in our bodies. 

This may be a repeat for those of you who know all about gluten. However, if you have not done a lot of research about gluten and going gluten free, then this will be the podcast episode for you!   As you will hear when you listen, gluten is a group of proteins in certain grains. It is also the cause of many, many reactions, including come autoimmune diseases, decreased brain functions, and also skin problems.    I don't follow many food rules, but this one I recommend 100%! Check out this week's episode and let me know what you think. If you have questions, email me or hop into the Just Enjoy Health Facebook Group and ask your questions!

When we think of food, it can be scary to think that there are foods we are eating that help cause chronic inflammation and cancers.    Did you know that chronic inflammation can be something as simple as a sore throat all the way to depression or an autoimmune disease?   Did you know that on 5-10% of cancers are related to genes?   This means that there are things we need to do to heal our bodies and tools/systems we need to develop to help fight mutated cells and hormones.   Today, I have Kim Maravich joining me to talk all about these foods and foods that can help PREVENT inflammation and cancer. I am so excited to have her on because she is just a wealth of knowledge on the topic. Check out the episode below! (Keep a pen and paper handy; there's so many golden nuggets!)
