You’re listening to episode #53 of the WellLIFE, formerly Blooming! And today’s episode is: Are you a water snob?
It’s funny, for most of my life, I thought all water was the same, and it wasn’t until recently that I learned what a difference drinking the right water can make in your life, from improving how you feel day to day to helping your body heal.
Our bodies are made up of over 70% water, and our brains are 85% water, so it makes sense that putting nutritious water into our bodies is going to be better than non-nutritious water. But is that even a thing? Yes, it is. And it’s not about labels like alkaline or mineral or reverse osmosis. (which is terrible for you by the way) In this episode, you will learn about hydrogen-rich charged water. And after drinking this water, I can tell you I’m officially a water snob.
So if you are curious to know if you are drinking nutritious water or not or you want to know what the heck I’m talking about, stay tuned for this episode with Robin Colvey the founder of Lifetime Water. www.lifetimewatersb.com

You are listening to episode #45 of the WellLIFE.
This week we have yoga instructor and health coach, Yasmin Tatim, on the show and today we are going to be talking about clutter. And I have to say that going into this conversation I thought Yasmin was going to simply share with us where to start, or to start small by decluttering one room at a time, or even by organizing a drawer. But Yasmin goes so much deeper than that because she wants to get to the root of clutter. She says that if you don’t take care of the root cause as to why clutter happens in the first place, then you are just going to start accumulating clutter again which not only limits your ability to feel good in your space, but it also has a chaotic effect on your mind. So if you are looking for ways to feel better in your own home environment or work environment, you are going to want to listen in to this insightful conversation with Yasmin. Let’s grow!

This month we had the pleasure of learning more about an agrihood in Warren County, Ohio called Aberlin Springs. Leslie Aberlin, the founder of Pendragon Homes, combined her passion for community development and healthy living to create a place where families can further connect with their food, the planet, and each other. Through discovering the power of real, organically-grown food in healing her own chronic illnesses, she developed her family’s regenerative farm to help others achieve a healthier lifestyle. Her vision behind Aberlin Springs was to create a farm-to-table agrihood community that could connect people with farmers so they could experience the healing power of clean real food for themselves. Little did she know that people would want to live there for many reasons, and providing a safe place for children to play, explore and experience healthy living was one of them

What is placemaking? According to forward-thinking developer, Brian Grover of Nolen Communities, it's about connecting people and place. And it's not entirely a new concept, however it has been lost within the residential developments over the last several decades. Nolen Communities is developing a wellness community in No San Diego County called Fox Point Farms that will enrich the experience of the people living there and even the local community at large by integrating access to the land around them.
"Fox Point Farms will serve as an innovative example of community-building for others to follow, particularly in an era where traditional high-density housing tends to lack open space, amenities, and overall livability."
Learn all about this amazing new residential neighborhood, it will inspire you to think about how your home supports your wellbeing. Neighborhoods like this are popping up all over the country as forward thinking developers see how they can provide more benefits and an enriched experience to the place where we spend so much of our time...... our home.

Havelock Wool manufactures and sells premium insulation made entirely from sheep's wool. It is healthy, high-performance insulation.

Why do their customers love their product? well because it’s a new option for homeowners that is safer, warmer, has natural moisture wicking properties as well as the ability to dry out, is non toxic and sustainable!
They even have been using this product to insulate RVs.
