Personalized supplements made just foru

I started taking Genewize supplements in June of 2011.  Before I started using my Genewize I had kankor sores in my mouth every month for at least 1 week...so painful...I would say they started lightly when I was approximately 45 years old and just got worse and by age 50 I was tired of the pain.  Every since I have used Genewize I have not had any sores in my mouth.  The company took a swab from my mouth and tested for 12 snps of DNA.  What I found out is that both sides of my family had a disadvantaged gene that would not allow me to naturally absorb selinium.  What this amazing supplementation does for me is to live free of pain.  It has helped me in many other ways and I will continue to blog :http://mypersonalizeddnasupplements.blogspot.com/

Who is Kari Lynn?




I was born in San Gabriel California, August 30, 1960.  My parents moved to Twain Harte California in 1963.  Growing up in a small town made me appreciate all things, from the smell of the fresh air, the sweetness of the fresh water lakes we swam in every summer, the open wilderness (adjacent Yosemite National Park) that created freedom and imagination, the rope swing cabled between to large cedar trees (that my father and brothers conjured up) that we would swing on for hours, the brush on the hill that we would play hide and go seek all day, and best of all the simplicity of life.  Except for the lack of health and wellness for BOTH of my parents.  My mother had Rheumatoid Arthritis and was in pain all of my life and my father who had a mental breakdown when I was two and never really recovered.  Both of whom I learned a tremendous amount of life lessons.  I appreciated my mothers integris work ethic as she got up every morning, in pain, and went to work, Pacific Lumber Company as a top secretary and my father was in the constant investigation of what life is about.  I never quite embraced compassion and acknowledgement of my parents until I had kids of my own.
4 kids, (3 daughters and 1 son), 2 grandsons, 3 granddaughters (SO FAR) and my husband has 5 sons and  2 grandchildren.(SO FAR)  We have been touched and inspired by all of them.  I also became humbled by the giving that it takes to be a parent.  Something that can't be explained until you are in the middle of raising children. Especially motherhood.......This says it all....





A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked,

"God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said, "When I made the woman she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children.

I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly.

I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart the
place where love resides."

 So my passion in this life is to have the conversation about health and wellness and my subjects will include: 
1.) Love
2.) Spirit
3.) Family
4.) Physical
5.) Meta physical
6.) Healing  
7.) Vibrations
8.) Nutrition
9.) Environmental
10.) Community    

Another very important time of my life was when I was married to my very precious 2nd husband "Greg Kelly".  We were on top of the world going for dreams, had one daughter together "Brittney" who was 2 1/2 and I was pregnant with our son "Gregory" I had a 14 year daughter "Zanna" and a 12 year old daughter "Alaina" from my first marrage. We were in the middle of building our dream house in Timber Cove California, right on the bluff of the Wild Sonoma Coast when suddenly Greg caught a cold, which turned into the flu, then pneumonia, then his back started to go out and he could not walk, then he started sweating in our bed...(I mean drenched the bed within hours after I would change the sheets).....
at the age of 32 he started the rough road of finding out he had a rare disease (Acute Lympho blastic leukemia).  He passed away 9 months later.  So fast......this also taught me to investigate into prevention.  How to avoid disease, keep out of the sickness industry be in the wellness industry.  I have learned so much and I am still learning, because new information is being provided daily.

The #1 thing that I have learned and want to share is that we as individuals need to take RESPONSIBLITY OF OUR BODYS and to teach our families to do the same.  How can we do this? 

1.) Nutrition (what are we eating and feeding to our children?)
2.) Exercise (Energy creates energy)
3.) Reading (what are we feeding our minds? which creates our thoughts which creates our world)
4.) Social and Community (Studies show that human beings need community, connection and social interaction)
5.) Education (being willing to grow constantly)
6.) Activites ( playing and having fun creates Endorphins)



Endorphins
Endorphins are endogenous opioid peptides that function as neurotransmitters. They are produced by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus in vertebrates during exercise, excitement, pain, consumption ... Wikipedia
7.) Intimacy & pleasure (love and affection)
 
As I grow and learn my blog will expand.  I hope that as that happens I can contribute to others.

Food Cooked by my Friend Linda Wheeler from Singapore

As I am tapping into cooking more healthy food and opening up to more vegetables my friend Linda Wheeler offered to come share some of the food she learned to make in her country "Singapore"
She shared some amazing foods and below we have some pictures of the night.

The top is curry and vegetables.(we couldn't stop eating them"
The bottom is fryed Taro...so good

Food, community, laughter, learning and fun with
Linda Wheeler and Jan Marijaq

We also baked chard with coconut oil just until it was crispy and we ate all of it as it came out of the oven..so good and healthy too...I just received an email from Linda and she reminded me that we made Kale Chips, but then she looked up Chard chips and it looks like you can make them too...

Chard Chips


I love these chips so much — they are fast, easy, and have a delicious nutty flavor that makes them slightly addictive. They’re best eaten soon after baking, before the oil has had a chance to resaturate the leaves (the amount of oil can be reduced by using parchment or a silicone mat). I find that they are too fragile for dipping, but adding seasoning to the oil can provide a nice flavor boost. They also make a fine garnish. You may wish to try this recipe with spinach, red kale, or other light weight greens.
YOU WILL NEED:
1 bunch Swiss chard
1/4 cup olive oil, or 2 Tbsp. olive oil if you have parchment or a silicone mat
Salt & pepper, gomasio, furikake, or sesame seeds for seasoning (optional)
Preheat oven to 425°. Remove the spines from the chard and discard or reserve for another use. Chop the leaves into chip-sized pieces — as uniform as possible — and rinse. Pat dry. Dry! No water, or else they will steam and sog up, not crisp.

If you are adding seasonings to the chard, mix them separately with the oil. Put the chard into a bowl, pour the oil on top, and toss until everything is evenly distributed.

Arrange the leaves on a baking sheet — ungreased, if you are not using a mat — and put into the oven.

At this point: watch! They will not take more than 5 minutes to crisp up, and there is a fine line between crispy and delicious and burned and inedible. Check on them after 3 minutes. (This part relies in part on how well you know your own oven.) They will be brown, or transitioning from green to brown.
Remove immediately from the baking sheet with a pancake turner and spread on paper towels or a brown bag. Eat ‘em while they’re hot!
Makes 3-4 cups of chips, depending on the size of your chard bunch

Chris and I just experienced this amazing fruit which was introduced to us from a friend (Linda Wheeler) who is educating and sharing many new foods from Asia with us.  This is such a yummy fruit, it looks a lot like grapefruit, but tastes so much sweeter and easier to eat.  In our minds this is a great replacement for a tasty desert and very healthy for the body...

10 Health Benefits of Pomelo

The nutrition facts and health benefits of pomelo, the largest member of the citrus family.
The pomelo (pummelo), also called Chinese grapefruit, jabong, lusho and shaddock, is the largest member of the citrus family. This grapefruit ancestor has a soft but very thick rind. It has light yellow to coral-pink flesh that can be juicy to slightly dry with a flavor that range from spicy-sweet to tangy and tart. The flesh can be eaten straight, added in salads or in food preparations where grapefruit goes well.
For every 1 cup (190 grams), here’s how healthy it is.

Vitamin C – 193% DV

1. Helps prevent UTI
Drinking lots of water and loading up on cranberry juice are two of the natural effective ways to help fight urinary tract infection. Pomelo, with its ultra high vitamin C content also help combat this common inflammation during pregnancy. Vitamin C is known to up the acidity level in the urine discouraging the growth of bacteria in the urinary tract.
2. Promotes fast healing of wounds
If a loved one had surgery, shower her with vitamin C-rich fruits like pomelo and other citrus fruits. Vitamin C is a cofactor of enzymes involved in the formation of collagen, a protein which strengthens and makes skin elastic encouraging faster wound healing.
3. Promotes healthy teeth and gums
Bleeding gums and loose teeth may be a sign of vitamin C deficiency. Collagen is not only essential in skin formation but also in building healthy teeth and gums.
4. Helps prevent anemia
Scientific findings have shown that vitamin C enhances the absorption of iron in the body. That is why it is best to drink orange juice if you are taking iron supplements, or to eat broccoli or other vitamin C-rich vegetables with your meat so that both nutrients will be present in the intestines at the same time.
5. Helps prevent colds and flu
Vitamin C is one of the nutrients which play a very important part in stimulating the action of antibodies and immune cells which guard the body against invaders like bacteria and viruses that can cause respiratory problems.

Potassium – 12% DV

6. Helps regulate blood pressure levels
Another good reason to eat pomelo is because of its rich potassium content. It’s common knowledge that potassium helps lower blood pressure levels. Avocados, bananas and guavas are some of the fruits that are rich in this essential mineral.
7. Helps prevent osteoporosis
What does potassium have to do with bone health? Study participants have shown the significant link between dietary potassium intake and bone mineral density.
8. Helps prevent leg cramps
If ever you experience leg cramps it may mean that you’re body is calling for more potassium, a mineral which plays an essential role in muscle contraction and nerve transmission.

Fiber – 8% DV

9. Promotes bowel regularity
Pomelo is also packed with fiber, a must-have nutrient to help maintain regular bowel movements, prevent hemorrhoids and even colon cancer.
10. Aids in weight loss
Did you know that fiber is an ally for weight management? Experts believe that most high fiber foods stay in the stomach longer resulting in longer sensation of fullness; they also need more chewing time giving the body longer time to feel satisfied reducing the risk of too much eating.
Pomelo is also one of the few fruits which contain protein and calcium.

Alzheimer's Disease What if there was a cure?,

I just finished the book, "Alzheimer's Disease What if there was a cure?", author is Mary T. Newport M.D.  It is about a doctor and caregive discovers a high energy fuel that nourishes the brain .  So informative.  Mary has such heart, commitment and love as she stands by her man, as in the middle of her busy schedule of being a Doctor of the newborn intensive care unit at S;pring Hill Regional Hospital in florida, she is told that her husband has alzheimer's disease and basically there was not anything that she can do, except make her husband comfortable as he
deteriorates.  She chose to start her own investigation and she finds information about the story of Ketones and how coconut oil helps her husband gain back his life....I highly recommend this book for not only caretakers of Alzheimer's patents but also Diebites, Parkinsons, Huntingtons, mood disorders.  VERY INTERESTING!!    Here is a Youtube.....http://youtu.be/dRbnd-vNn9o
Worth the read.....
