Hello! I’m Yira. Welcome to my blog! I love to read, learn and share with others all there is to know about holistic nutrition, and how and what to eat to heal your body and reach optimal health. My interest in holistic nutrition and healing through foods first began when I lost my first husband in 2006 due to a host of health issues; some brought on by genetic disorders, and many others created by too many prescription drugs. It was then that I started to realize that modern medicine does not have the answers to cure diseases, it can only prescribe drugs to sweep the problem under the rug.

I whole heartedly believe that food is medicine and what we put in our bodies can help us fight diseases, heal us, or hurt us. It is my goal and desire to help others learn how to take control of their own health and be able to see and use the foods they eat as medicine.

As I enter my mid 40’s I find myself wanting to also learn more about the hormonal changes that occur in a woman’s body and how it affects our health, including the stubborn weight that starts to creep up and doesn’t want to budge. I’m also extremely intrigued about the aging process, and not just living a long life, but living a long, healthy, and good QUALITY of life free of the many diseases that start to plague individuals, as we get older, from years of nutritional abuse to our bodies. I want to be able to help people find good health as they get older, and help those who have already entered the “golden years” learn what foods to eat to avoid, slow down, prevent, or reverse diseases and ailments as much as possible.

As I finish my studies in Health Coaching and begin my Holistic Nutrition courses these are the health topics I want to dive deeper into and learn more about.

And lastly, to learn and find ways to live a more simple and stress-free life, to enjoy and be thankful for all that each day given to us has to offer, and to seek to be a blessing to and help those around us in need.

Let’s strive to live well and take care of one another!
