A Bit About Me…
Once upon a time I didn’t think much about the food I ate. I was never overweight (thanks to genes rather than healthy living) and I grew up in the Midwest where meat and potatoes are a religion. I did not meet a single vegetarian until I was an adult!
Recently I’ve adopted a healthier lifestyle that includes exercise and more nutritious eating habits (including organic foods). After being diagnosed with a chronic and unpredictable illness, I decided that there are certain things in life that are out of my control, and certain things that I have the power to change. Eating right and working out may not guarantee me many years on this planet, but it will ensure that the years I do have are as full of joy and health as possible.
I created this site as a resource for information, tips, and thoughts on how eating organic foods and treating yourself right can do wonders for your body and your mind. All of this with a Chicago slant since that’s my home base.
