“For the past four years, I’ve eaten well – following a basic Paleo approach to food. I’ve seen really positive results overall; however, I have also noticed an increase in some bothersome issues and after talking with Donna, decided that the most likely cause would be undetected food sensitivities. I decided to do the ALCAT Test, and am SO glad I did! There were quite a few healthy foods to which I have either a mild or moderate sensitivity, and a handful to which I have severe sensitivity. Now I know what foods to eliminate for a period of time and which ones to put on a rotation in my diet so that my body can take a rest from trying to manage the digestion and assimilation of foods that have been causing an internal reaction. I expect to be feeling much better very soon!” ~ V.K.
The ALCAT Test uncovers foods and other substances that trigger chronic inflammation and related health issues, such as:
- digestive disorders
- metabolic disorders
- migraines
- skin disorders
- respiratory problems
- chronic fatigue
- aching joints
- and many other problems…
The ALCAT Platinum Comprehensive Test measures cellular reactions to 320 items, including foods, functional foods and herbs, food additives, environmental chemicals, molds, and antibiotics and anti-inflammatories.
For more information about the ALCAT Test and how it can help you, call us at 844-787-3935, Ext. 1 or email us at [email protected].

A number of clients have been asking about what they can drink while on vacation that’s a little more fun and interesting than plain water and herbal tea! Since summer is winding down and school is about to begin, here’s a festive and refreshing mocktail for you to try as you make the most of what’s left of summer vacation.
Sparkling Ruby Red Mocktail:
- 1 fresh ruby red grapefruit, juiced
- San Pellegrino (or your favorite brand of sparkling water), chilled
- 1 drop of liquid stevia, for sweetness (if desired)
- Crushed ice
- Fresh lavender or rosemary for garnish
Instructions:
1. Fill your fanciest glass halfway with crushed ice
2. Next, fill the glass halfway up with the ruby red grapefruit juice
3. Fill the rest with chilled sparkling water
4. Garnish with a slice of grapefruit & a sprig or 2 of fresh lavender or rosemary
Cheers!!

We’re so excited about sharing some of the things we find that contribute to leading the healthy lifestyle that supports our overall wellbeing!
Today, I (Vicki) am going to tell you about my new, favorite way to move: Body Groove! I discovered Body Groove with Misty Tripoli a few months ago and absolutely love it! When I was very young, I dreamed of being a dancer; and my husband and I enjoyed ballroom dancing together quite a few years ago, so this seemed like a natural fit for me.
Since I’ve never quite found a sport I like participating in, I’ve been on the search for something other than walking and riding the recumbent bike to add some variety to my workouts. Body Groove has turned out to be both fun and fabulous! Not only are there a variety of dance workouts to choose from, Body Groove recently added a whole set of workouts for seniors called Young at Heart. This is my personal favorite; easy on my joints and adaptable to virtually any situation…and it totally makes me smile! The music is great and there’s no complicated choreography to learn or feel intimidated by; just a basic concept to work with to adapt to your comfort level. If you’re looking for something to get you up and moving, this is worth trying out! To learn more about Body Groove and Misty Tripoli, visit https://www.bodygroove.com/ *
As always, we’re here to encourage you on your journey to wellness. To schedule an appointment, call 844-787-3935, Ext. 1 or email us at [email protected].
