My favorite episode features Dr. Kelly A. Turner, author of Radical Remission. Her powerful message: happiness can help kill cancer cells! Positive emotions and “happy hormones” may play an important role in the healing journey. #RadicalRemission #CancerHealing #CancerSurvivor

Microgreens may be tiny, but they're packed with nutrition! Rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, they can contain up to 9 times more nutrients and 40 times more antioxidants than mature vegetables. A little goes a long way! #Microgreens #HealthyEating #Antioxidants
