I believe the body is your temple for housing your divine self, one that deserves the utmost respect and maintenance throughout life's journey. Yet so many of us, myself included, have forgotten this along the way. Instead, we use and abuse it, in part because we've been confused and even brainwashed by billion-dollar budgets to believe consuming highly inflammatory, highly addictive, toxic food and chemicals put in the medicine we feed our bodies daily our food is somehow good for us. This coupled with the chemicals and radiation we're exposed to, not just in our foods, but in our products that we use and in our environments, it's making us sick. What is the result? An epidemic of chronic health issues, overmedication, disconnection from our bodies and their intrinsic ability to heal. Our current healthcare system is broken.
