For women, mid-life can be a season when all of a sudden it feels like our health is on a downward spiral without us changing a thing. Hormonal fluctuations happening during the years preceeding menopause can lead to weight gain, depression, muscle loss, hot flashes and more.  The good news is that people like Neal Barnard and Stacy Sims are providing today's women with a lot more information and tools than our grandmothers ever had relating to women's health during these years.  We know a lot more about simple interventions that in some cases have been shown to be as effective in reducing symptoms as hormone therapy. Listen in as I share the research on foods, supplements and exercise methods that are providing women with relief from the long list of unpleasant symptoms that can accompany this stage of life. It's time to learn and let go of so much of the silent suffering woman have faced during this season of life.  See resources and research mentioned in this podcast at http://www.plantbasedsupermom.com/89   Hop on the waitlist for private coaching with Alicia HERE.

Lately it seems like everyone is talking about seed oils and how terrible they are. Listen in as I share my take on it all after digging into the relevant research.  Further, fat can be a confusing topic - what's good, what's bad and what type of fat is best? This short episode will tell you everything you really need to know to take the next step to optimize your health.  My husband and I loved how the Holistic Holiday at Sea cruise taught us so much and left us feeling inspired to do better! But finding the the time and resources to make this happen was no walk in the park and simply not a reality for many of us in the thick of life!  A great alternative is the Food Revolution Summit coming up the last week of April. Many nutrition experts from different fields will share their research and answer common questions. The first summit I watched 9 years ago was so inspiring and motivating for me to make lasting and powerful changes. You can catch all the talks for free for a limited time, or you can purchase them to watch later at your convenience. Owning the summit can be a great way to plan your own Holistic Holiday wherever you choose, and set aside the time to immerse yourself in this life-changing information.  I loved doing this with a parenting course I was unable to attend in person. For a fraction of the time and money, my husband and I were able to soak up the information we needed and begin using it much sooner than had we waited until we could do the in person option.  Register Today!
