Elements For A Healthier Life Magazine Issue 15 | May/June 2018 | Page 43

Change is fun and exciting. It challenges your decisions and get you pondering, “am I doing the right thing?”

When I placed Elements For A Healthier Life Magazine on hiatus to focus on healing and adjusting my life from the death of my oldest son, I knew there would be significant changes when I stepped back into my role as a publisher.

It is my honor to announce that I have chosen to expand In The Kitchen section of Elements For A Healthier Life Magazine to be the foundation for our newest publication UnBox Your Kitchen Journal.

We will explore what’s in your kitchen, how to prepare home cooked meals, gain nutritional insights, shop for healthier food options and, of course, access delicious recipes. You will also discover how the foods we eat impacts our sleep, skin condition, sex, mood, weight, organ function, blood sugar level, breathing and much more.

Enjoy a sample of what will be in UnBox Your Kitchen Journal on the following pages. To ensure that you receive the first copy of UnBox Your Kitchen Journal in your inbox, take a moment to subscribe.

Stay tuned for additional changes coming to Elements For A Healthier Life concept.

First – I wanted to understand why I was developing food allergies at an alarming rate and how I could help others living with similar issues. Secondly, I was astounded at the number of people who had no idea how to prepare what I consider a healthy meal. Health coaching comes easily, as I possess a natural gift for teaching; I work to meet folks where they are, moving at their pace.
