Holistic Wellness with Heart by Dr. Jenna Valentine
Vegetable juice is such an awesome way to get nutrients on the go.
And, it doesn’t have to taste terrible. I recently learned a new term “quaffable” which means ‘easy to drink’ and, while it is normally reserved for alcoholic beverages, I’m going to use it to describe the yummy juice I’ve been making.

IV Vitamin Drip
IV drips are so cool because you can get a ton of vitamins, minerals and nutrients without relying on your digestive system. It just feels so darn efficient. This efficiency combined with an awesome atmosphere and fantastic humans is why I love MSW Vitamin Lounge so much.

You may be wondering “wtf is ear candling”, so let me start there: this is a process where a “candle”, which is a rolled paper coated in wax, is lit and the heat from the candle basically creates a suction that pulls wax and debris out of the ear canal while also softening the wax so that it is easier to remove.

A friend and I spent a weekend at a wellness retreat that had caloric restriction as part of the structure. I definitely packed some extra clandestine healthy snacks, because your girl has a super fast metabolism and I am NOT trying to lose the small curves I actually have.
The caveat is that you have you drink it kind of quickly or things settle and get a bit gunky and gross.
Anyways, here is how you make it:
Brew a cup of tea of your choosing - I have been using a basic green tea at home.
Toss out the tea bag and add
a spoon full of MCT oil,
a spoon full of food grade bentonite clay,
and a spoonful of a protein powder of your choosing.
While at home I’m also adding a sprinkling of hemp or chia seeds.
Mix all the ingredients together and then pour into a blender
I got a little bullet blender that is the ideal size and feels so darn efficient that I can hardly stand it.
Blend together and drink this warm, healthy yumminess.
*The bentonite clay shouldn’t be used for a very long time as it is ‘grabby’ and could detox nutrients that your body needs. So, be sure to rotate this in and out of your routine.
Remember to get creative and listen to your body. Being healthy shouldn’t be yucky or boring.
Be well and have fun.

Many of you may have assumed I was talking about STD/STI testing here and, while that is super important to have done regularly, I’m actually referring to Food Sensitivity testing and Heavy Metals testing.
Even IF we are eating super healthy (and that is a very very big IF) our bodies still may not respond well to some of the ‘healthy’ foods. When the body dislikes a food it can respond with inflammation which, overtime can wreak havoc on your system.
