This week's Loving Note: "Love yourself like you're not waiting for someone else to do it."

Leaky gut - picture microscopic food bits sneaking through the intestinal lining and putting your body on high alert. An immune response is created which causes inflammation that leads to complete dis-ease throughout your entire body, including the endocrine system responsible for your mood.

What causes the leaking and how do you know if you have it? Can you prevent it from happening? Can it be reversed? Will eating properly really help reduce the symptoms of depression? Jen the health coach is back to talk about leaky gut and how you can take action to reduce its symptoms in your body.

Loving Note: When you can't find the sunshine, be the sunshine.

Humanity has always been connected to nature. We have used it for food and shelter, medicine and religion, to time our daily tasks as well as our seasonal ones. This week Richelle talks about how we are genetically programmed to benefit from being in nature - both physically and mentally. And, if going out in the cold seems awful, learn how taking care of houseplants can help you just as much as going outside. Houseplants are easy to take care of, don't cost a lot, and take up very little space. It is something that everyone should try. She even makes a few suggestions of plants to try!
