Get To Your Core!

 For all you Core Wellness Garden Cast lovers…Here's a BIG DOSE of early spring action in our back yard no till garden! 

• You'll hear our 5 year old share deep philosophy and share his infectious laugh.
• You'll see cold frames and mini green houses in action for year round growing and harvesting of dark leafy greens.
• AND…You'll learn how a no till garden can create more mineralized plants for a more alkaline garden and therefore a more alkaline body environment!

Remember that hormones and vitamins only work if the pH of your body is right.  An acid enviroment from too much grain and meat (especially grain fed, factory farm animals) means less effective biochemical reactions in your body which leads to low energy, weight gain, and degenerative diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes to name a few.

So watch intently and let me know what you think of these GardenCasts…MORE or LESS. 

Also let me know what kind of content that I've put out so far is your favorite!  I want to serve you best.  So drop me your feedback in the comments below!

It's time to get that garden going! 

Remember…the best way to ensure good, organic, nutrient dense food is to GROW YOUR OWN!

It starts with the soil, of course.  And composting is the best way to get started in your gardening adventures!

In this episode you'll see the simple compost bins I made with FREE materials!

Plus…we get to visit our friends at their farm as we thank their horses for their "contribution" to the garden this year. 

Even if you don't make your own garden, It's SO important to get connected to your growers and BUY LOCAL whenever possible.

Also…our boys and our neighbor got to come along to cure some of their "Nature Deficit Disorder"

Enjoy and LEAVE A COMMENT to let me know what your biggest question is about starting or maintaining a successful organic garden!

In this GardenCast, you'll discover the the amazing truth about WHY your genes are NOT to blame for ill health!  Plus you'll also learn:

• how dehydration causes aging
• exactly what to change if you want to take control of your health
• how to get more pain relieving, disease preventing omega 3 fats into your diet

ENJOY!

In addition to being one of my favorite things in the world to do, gardening in cool weather makes the most powerful foods on the planet! GREENS!!!

My mantra to all my clients and students is "More Green, Less Grain" because the bottom line is this…green food by its very nature is ANTI-INFLAMMATORY!

You CAN heal from serious degenerative disease as well as get rid of allergies, asthma, chronic pain, fatigue, colds, flu, bronchitis, and just about any dis-ease known to human kind with this powerful stuff!

Humor me and yourself for a week or so and eliminate all grains from your diet and replace those calories with a dark green leafy salad (NO ICEBERG, OK?).

Get some mixed greens and some romaine and go to town!

Another way to flood your cells with these intense anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory alkaline nutrients is to juice them or put them in a green smoothie.

Here's a quick recipe even your kids will like!

• 1 large green apple
• 5 to 10 pineapple chunks
• BIG bunch of Kale or Spinach or mix of both
• half an avocado
• half a lemon
• 4 OR 5 ice cubes
• fill with water to just about the top Blend THOROUGHLY!

Drink up and feel the POWER!!!! As your palate develops to really enjoy the taste of green food, you can cut back on the sweet stuff to lower the insulin response and you'll be AMAZED at the increased energy and vitality you feel!

I am absolutely tickled to bring you this new video I created from the photos and video we took during our "Garden Classroom" experience this fall at our sons' school, Community Montessori.

As you'll see, the kids got to help prepare the soil while we talked about how the compost we used is considered "vitamins for the plants" and that greens are special because they can grow in the fall and even far into winter! (because of high omega 3 content in their cell walls, but we didn't quite sink that one in!)

Also, we talked about biology in that plants need water, sun, and healthy soil to grow.

The compost feeding taught them that you don't have to use chemical fertilizers and also the importance of recycling plant matter!

A LOT of lessons here, eh?

They watched it grow for about 6 weeks and I returned for the harvest.  They were anxiously anticipating this day when they could EAT A SALAD from their OWN garden that THEY participated in!

(I brought some raw sunflower seeds to sprinkle and Annie's Goddess Dressing was a big hit!)

THIS is learning and this is what education should be all about…LIFE SKILLS.  You won't find any of this on standardized tests but this lesson will stick FOREVER because it was a big EVENT and they all had EMOTIONAL connection to the process.  

Now it's hard wired into the neural circuits of their brain.

I can't wait to do more of this…I have certainly found a new passion!!

Enjoy the video and please share it with as many people as possible to spread the good word and teach the world how you can really get kids to eat their greens!!
