Chef Janine prefers low-carb varieties like Gruyère, Brie, and Camembert.

Let's make every remaining year of our lives the year of humor, laughter and happiness.
Laughter encourages a sense of play and childlike behavior, which can help to improve your emotional intelligence and your social skills. Children laugh up to 300-400 times a day during their formative years, and this reduces to 10-15 times a day as an adult.
You don’t stop laughing when you grow old, you grow old when you stop laughing. Those who laugh, last!

Time To Stop Sanitizing Everything!
Microbes not only impact the shape of many of our organs, they replace dying and damaged cells and help our bodies absorb and store nutrients and fat. Plants, animals and humans would die without these lifelong microbial hitchhikers.
Some animals begin developing with microbes from inception. Humans first make contact with theirs in the birth canal. From that moment forward, microbes help bolster our immune systems, helping our bodies learn to live with viral diseases.

Stubborn Weight Gain? "Estrogen Dominance" May Be The Cause!
Estrogen Dominance isn’t just about high estrogen — it’s the imbalance between estrogen and progesterone. Even low estrogen can be problematic if progesterone is lower. Estrogen dominance disrupts thyroid function and metabolism. To rebalance: support progesterone, block aromatase, detox stored estrogen, and reduce estrogen activity. Carbs matter — long-term low-carb can worsen aromatase. A balanced diet with liver-loving, estrogen-clearing foods is key to hormone health.
