We’ve assembled some great articles to help you make the most of the rest of the season. Read all about shoes that are good for the sole; essential oils that help create emotional balance, and “living off the land” with fresh, wholesome foods (including two great recipes). Learn how celebrities handle cravings, why fitness gizmos are not necessary to get in shape, and what the side effects of fast food are. Our acupuncturist and our reflexologist share more of their insights, you’ll get inspired by DailyOm, and there’s also an opportunity to have your dreams heard on the radio. If you’ve ever felt like it’s difficult to keep up with food trends, you’ll find a kindred spirit with The Mindful Parent. Along with important information on the natural solution for cancer-protective estrogen management from Options for Life, and an investigative look at Monsanto and GMOs from Eric Francis, you’ll also be treated to Planet Wave’s revelation of what’s in the stars for you right now. I’m pleased to introduce you to our new columnists, the esteemed “Natural Medicine Woman” Dr. Michelle Schoffro Cook, and “MamaWolf” of Howling Wolf Farm. Plus, you’ll enjoy two great “water recipes” from our special guests, Healthy Cooking Camp’s Robyn Youkilis and Quinn Asteak. Are you going on vacation, or just exploring the local flea market? Wherever you go, bring your camera and some Topricin so you can enter our Third Annual “Where in the World is Topricin” photo contest—you could win a year’s supply of Topricin and a getaway to Cancun, Mexico! Read all the details inside to get inspired! Wishing you good health and joy,
