Gutsy By Nature
My dear blog friends… I am so sorry that I have neglected you these past few months! It seems like one minute it was March, then I blinked and here it is already the middle of June. A number of things have been taking up my time, including continued study toward becoming a certified nutritional […]
Let’s just say that I have a complicated relationship with the official food of my childhood home state of Wisconsin. I can eat a couple bites here and there of the good quality stuff and I feel fine, but the problem is that I love it too much to ever stop at just a couple […]
First, a personal update… I’m excited to tell you that tomorrow (February 13, 2017) I officially start the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) course with the Nutritional Therapy Association!
