it. During the digestive process, acid flows up into the throat and causes a burning
sensation. This is caused by a breakdown in the valve that separates the stomach from the esophagus. It’s an indication that the acid-alkaline balance in the digestive tract has been disrupted. Unless that balance is restored, any attempt to treat or correct the acid reflux problem will provide nothing more than short-term relief.

When You Eat at the Fridge

When You Eat at the Fridge

I spent a few days at a resort in Mexico this past summer for a friend’s wedding. I’ve known her since the 2nd grade and it was a really fun time hanging out with familiar faces.

It was also hot, so very hot. I took sweating to a whole new level. During the afternoon wedding in full sun on the beach, I discovered parts of my body that I didn’t know could sweat. Toes, chins, elbows, you name it… I was drenched. Despite the intense heat, it was undoubtedly the most beautiful and moving ceremony I have ever had the privilege to witness.
