We all have a story but Jennifer's is fascinating. From years of dealing with symptoms and finally getting a diagnosis about 10 years after starting the search and THEN a cancer diagnosis, Jenn takes us through the guidance she actually listened to that eventually brought her to healing and a great outcome. She discusses her timeline and also some of the tools she used outside of conventional wisdom to help her improve her health and eventually a "clean bill."

Jennifer found the book, Radical Remission by Kelly A Turner, PhD to be extremely helpful.

Jillian Rutledge's philosophy is "Control your breath and your mind will follow." So many times, healing stalls because we struggle to dig deep into what's really getting to us. Making breakthroughs by focusing our breath and working with a Breathing Specialist can help us go a long way to improve our physical, mental and emotional health.

Set Points are "upper limits" we have created for ourselves as it comes to how much money we can have, how healthy we can be, how much love we deserve, how much success, etc. 

On a subconscious level we have created this limit. So, when we rationally try to reach a goal, our set point will call us back as soon as we go over. 

So, an example we’ve all heard of is of people winning the lottery. These new millionaires often blow all their money within a couple of years and go back to where they were before. That’s how set points work. The old programming in our subconscious sabotages us in having what we want.

With losing weight: people trying hard to get the weight off, keeping it off for a while, but soon go back to their old weight. Again, self-sabotage.

Everything we do to reach our goal will be to no avail if we’re blocked from the...

Welcome to another episode of Rock Bottom Wellness. I’m your host, Tiffany Flaten. Today, I’m on my own discussing 3 Ways to Support Your Thyroid and while doing so how you can boost your immune system. 

Most people think of the connection between your immune system and your thyroid gland in context of a condition called Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. This is an autoimmune condition of the thyroid gland and accounts for at least 90% of all cases of hypothyroidism. Oftentimes, it is treated as if it were no different than “run of the mill” hypothyroidism. Unfortunately, it IS different and there are ways to address it even outside of the context of medication. ...

Peach Mango Salsa

It’s so important to try and boost your nutrition every time you eat. Think about how you can increase the vitamins and minerals in the foods you make and eat every day. By adding a variety of foods to our diets, we’ll cover a lot of our nutrient needs and help our bodies fight of disease.

One way to do this is by incorporating fresh fruits and veggies to our already favorite recipes. I came up with a way to use the fruit that is in season to create even more flavorful, nutrient-dense recipes of some old favorites. This one uses fresh peaches and mangoes to balance out the spice of jalapenos in this summer time favorite.

Read more over on the blog on The Power of Peaches. You’ll see why it’s so important to eat in season and incorporate fresh fruits into the diet.

1 lb tomatoes, diced

1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced

2 jalapenos, seeded and diced

1 purple onion, finely diced

1 # peaches, diced

½ # mango, diced

Italian Style Soup

I made this the other night and we have a ton of leftovers. It’s easy to modify to your taste, too. It’s just a heartier twist on tomato soup with Italian seasonings. Sometimes, to break through boredom with meal-planning, it’s good to mix it up a bit. And, this time of year, I love to have soup leftovers or enough to freeze for a healthy meal on a busy night.
