The roll of products on the road to better living.

Do you feel like your health pursuits are something like a "journey?" 


We feel that becoming healthier is a journey; one filled with exploration and with learning. The journey can effect not only our lifestyle but also our relationship with our life. Journeys to better health have the power to truly change lives.

Products and tools like the ones offered here can offer help along the way but can not replace the journey itself. These products can help you create specific effects and be a part of the relationship you are creating with your life—they can help you craft your journey toward better health. Incremental consistency is what the body adjusts to best.

We offer for sale thru BodyAlive! this selection of health supplements, rawfoods and self-care items because we feel they are part of our foundation for health, and want to make them available at a reasonable cost to our clients.

I have a great deal of gratitude for Jameth Sheridan, N.D. and his team at HealthForce Nutritionals for creating such a life-giving superfood product. We all know people who truly understand the value of and appreciate the effects of excellent nutrition, but it is rare to find someone dedicating their life to providing it thru comprehensive and inexpensive superfood.

"It is cheap (so a lot can be eaten), it is good-tasting (so a lot can be eaten), and in my opinion, it was the best step I took to improve my health—I just started with a little in my morning water and saw/felt/experienced big shifts in my energy—it certainly helped get me off of carbs and refined foods. Presently, I use six to twelve tablespoons every day" --Aric

You may just find that Vitamineral® Green nutrition is what you have been seeking all along to address your nutritional needs. If you don't like it, if it is not for you at this time in your life, I will buy it back. See our recipes page for details on "how to use greens.

products-oils1.jpgTo our knowledge, these are the only raw-living essential oils.  We love using them in our practice and on a regular basis in our home for more purposes than you might imagine! Organically cultivated and steam distilled, the essential oils in Young Living's collection are life-enhancing gifts from the plant kingdom, revered for centuries for their restorative properties to body, mind and spirit.  Pure essential oils now re-emerge as an essential soulution to the challenges facing modern lifestyles. Young Living's essential oils bring balance to all systems of the body.  Because they are "Living Oils", they have a healing frequency (mHz) which no other essential oils have.  Likewise, they will pass through the blood brain barrier in seconds.  They are truly powerful and remarkable for all conditions: acute or chronic, muscle, tendon, bone...and much much more.  We prefer to use nothing else now that we've felt the benefits of the finest available.

The special design of our Ergonomic Chair makes the perfect ergonomic office chair and the flexible air filled material of the exercise ball enable individuals to support themselves in the best sitting position to relieve and prevent back pain. By using the abdominal muscles to tilt the pelvis, the lumbar spine is flexed and extended until the balanced position of optimal function and stability is reached. This helps the individual to develop the kinesthetic awareness of their neutral position. Eventually this will become a natural position to attain. The individual is actively in control.
