There are two lies we tell ourselves; It is not possible, or I am not enough. The truth is you are worthy of all your dreams and desires. Everything you need to live in greater abundance and bring your dreams to life is within you right now. Imagine how your life would change if you could show up every day plugging into full cylinders by tuning in and tapping in. There is so much possibility that awaits you. It’s time to stop feeding our limitations and finely release the resistance that holds us back. It’s time to shift your energy, open your heart to receive and fully allow in more. It’s time to step into all you are meant to be!

Can Dentures Affect Nutrition?
Wearing dentures can have an impact on nutrition if the dentures are ill-fitting and cause patients to have trouble chewing. Ill-fitting dentures can also decrease saliva, which may make chewing food difficult and may cause patients to avoid certain foods. It’s important for people who wear dentures to follow their physician’s or denturist’s dietary recommendations after they have been fitted with their dentures, and to keep in mind that many foods can still be eaten if prepared in ways that make chewing easier. Ensuring dentures fit well is also important, so see your denturist regularly to get them checked.

Good Nutrition & Digestion = Good Health
No matter how clean, organic, and healthy you eat, if your body isn’t able to digest, absorb, and process essential nutrients properly, you are not benefitting from your efforts.
To do this, your stomach needs to fully digest, your intestines need to completely absorb, and your liver needs to properly process the food you eat.
One of the simplest ways to correct and improve any issue you may have with the digestive process is through nutritional testing.
If a weakness is found in a specific organ, nutritional supplementation can be added to your diet to improve the digestive process and in turn, help you benefit from your wise choices.
