Tweet   For every craving, there is an equal and opposite cause & probably another craving right behind it.   Say what?   What do you mean that there’s another craving right behind it?  I get the cause, that makes sense, but another craving?   Not fair!!!   The reason why cravings are so important…

What Is Your Body Crying Out For?

Tweet Diets are a funny thing. First off, I hate the name of them.  When does anything with the word “die” in it mean a good thing? Second, they just don’t work.  Okay, maybe they work for a little bit, maybe a few weeks, a month or even a few months. But long term, they…

Are You Lacking in Your “S” Vitamins?

Tweet I know what you’re thinking right now. What do you mean, Annette, by getting enough of my S Vitamins? Never heard of them?
