  • "How Your Gut Health Can Improve Your Life?"
    Nov 6 2023

    Gut health plays a significant role in our overall health and wellbeing. A healthy gut microbiome helps with digestion, absorption of nutrients, regulation of the immune system, and even affects our mood and cognitive function. 

    On the other hand, an unhealthy gut microbiome can lead to a range of issues such as gastrointestinal problems, autoimmune disorders, obesity, depression, and anxiety. Therefore, taking care of your gut health can positively impact your life in the following ways: 

    1. Better digestion and nutrient absorption 
    2. Increased energy levels 
    3. Improved immune function 
    4. Better weight management 
    5. Reduced inflammation in the body 
    6. Improved mental health and mood 
    7. Better skin health 

    Improving your gut health can lead to a more vibrant, healthy, and fulfilling life.

    With one of her children being on the spectrum, Andrea, a mother of three, undertook a health journey with Cason. Following this, she pursued a career in functional nutrition and extended her online health and wellness business to assist parents in healing through food, thereby improving the gut health of both themselves and their children.

    Are you still in shock that you are a parent of a special needs child?
    This show is for parents who are morning the loss of the life and child they thought they would have. For parents who are tired, lonely, and see no hope in sight?

    You will learn how to deal with your non-verbal child with a sensory processing disorder, seizures, meltdowns, haircuts, and family trips. Embark on a journey of consciousness, self-care & meditation.


    My name is Chad Ratliffe. I am a single father of 5 kids 6 years of age (8-14) and 2 with special needs. 5 years ago, in a nasty divorce, my depression led me to drug addiction and hopelessness. Today, I share with others a life I never imagined possible.

  • How to Get Your Child to Eat Healthy When They Protest Big Time
    Oct 28 2023

    As a parent, you want your child to eat healthy food that will help them grow and develop properly. However, it can be a real challenge when your child protests against healthy food. To get your child to eat healthy, it's essential to make food fun, interesting, and appealing to them. You can involve them in meal planning, grocery shopping, and even preparing the meals. By doing so, your child will feel included in the decision-making process, and it'll help them develop a sense of responsibility for their health.

    Additionally, you can try incorporating healthy foods into their favorite dishes so that they won't even realize they're eating healthy. Finally, keep in mind the importance of modeling healthy eating habits yourself. Children are more likely to imitate their parents, so make sure you're eating healthy foods too. With patience, consistency, and creativity, you can encourage your child to eat healthy and develop lifelong healthy eating habits.

    In this episode Jamie is a single mom, an entrepreneur, advocate for all natural approaches from food, to cleaning products to health. She had 3 kids :Erin 21 ( she has a 19 month old son), Savannah 18, and Parker 14 ( who is autistic and has a rare type of epilespy). I home school Parker. They are a very artsy family who likes to leave people and places better than they found them.
