Real Food Family’s Basic Stretch Guide
Maybe it’s because I am a former (maybe still) professional dancer, but I can’t go a day without stretching. When I don’t spend time stretching, my body feels depressed…seriously. As part of my new weekly 10-minute workout videos, I also made this “Basic Stretch” video that I encourage you to follow daily and after any...
Our Thanksgiving Turkey- From Farm to Table
***Let me warn you that this video is pretty graphic. The surroundings are beautiful and the video is good, but we are killing and gutting a turkey. I’m bummed that I didn’t get all of the organ meat preparing into the video. Besides not having a clear tutorial on preserving the heart and liver (avoiding...

Tyson Exec Calls Pink Slime “Safe, Wholesome, Nutritious”
On the way home from a little Disneyland trip today I happened to turn on news radio right when they were talking about the Pink Slime issue. The good news is that people are listening and things are happening. According to the info on the “Stop Pink Slime” campaign from change.org, many organizations got behind...
Coconut Oil And Alzheimer’s (Video Post)
Very interesting, and not surprising to me at all. I learned quite a few years ago that Alzheimer’s is a “Diabetes of the brain”.
