www.BeNourished.com  This is the site for information about eating real food, whole food.  What I first learned about eating for health and life and joy, I learned from Rebecca Wood.  She is the first of many great teachers on my health journey. I had the honor and fortune of taking cooking classes from this dear and humble woman many years ago. I signed up for Rebecca’s class thinking I would get a few good recipes and learn to cook more healthfully for my family.  Little did I know, I was in for way more than I could have ever hoped for. Eating for life and health is a lifestyle – life changing journey that, for me, began with Rebecca.  Rebecca says, “Eat well and be nourished”.  I think that means to be satisfied in your mind, body and soul.  Rebecca is the author of many books and the one I highly recommend is both a primer and cook book treasure called,  The Splendid Grain.  There you will learn the history and medicinal - nutritional value of whole grains and find delightful recipes as well. 

www.bernardjensenintl.org   Bernard Jensen is another great teacher that had and still has a profound impact on my health journey.  Over the years, I frequently would consult his book, Foods That Heal. That book is a treasure of information to understand and use the healing powers of whole foods.  Another of Dr. Jensen’s books entitled, Guide to Better Bowel Care, is what hooked me on the missing link of my health care regime. Dr. Jensen’s work taught me that health comes from a combination of good eating, exercise, a peaceful lifestyle and cleanliness within. Years of poor eating, stress, lack of exercise, pollution, and medications combine to weaken our primary elimination system, the bowel. Colon – rectal cancer is the second leading killer in the United States.  Our health begins with a clean elimination system! In today’s polluted world we must care for this system more than ever. To get  more information, books or classes to help you in your journey, check this site out.

www.cathysheaschool.com   I learned the art of colon hydrotherapy from this wonderful woman.  I chose Cathy and her school because it was important to me to learn the “human” component of this valuable work.  Hydrotherapy is more than a business. It can have a profound effect on the quality of your life and health. That’s what is important to me. That is why I have chosen to help others with colon hydrotherapy.  If you endeavor to pursue this rewarding field, even if only for yourself and want to learn from the best, or just want some information, talk with the Cathy Shea School. 

www.ourcommunityconnection.com   Many of you got to my site from this wonderful resource.  This is the most comprehensive site to find out what’s going on in the Salt Lake Valley and surrounding areas.  Find an event or find a health care professional, you name it, it’s there!
