Jini’s Homemade Lacto-Fermented Mayonnaise Recipe
I did a lot of experimenting to determine which oils provide the best-tasting mayonnaise, whilst providing excellent nutrition – I think this recipe is my fifth variation and I’m finally happy with it! My never-ending thanks to Nourishing Traditions cookbook for providing the lacto-fermentation method whereby the mayonnaise keeps for 3-4 months, rather than a [...]
Non-Toxic Aloe Vera, Silver, H2O2, Hand Sanitizer
For a few months now, I've had many people write in asking if George's Aloe Vera is suitable for making your own DIY hand sanitizer. Well, the answer is yes - however, actually washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds is the BEST way to go! That being said, sometimes [...]
Arguing Made Easy!
Let's face it - no one is ever going to agree 24/7. Whether you're discussing a thorny issue, trying to resolve a conflict with a loved one, or you're mediating 2 kids who'd love to punch each other out, it can get messy and emotional. While it's impossible to always see eye-to-eye, you may want [...]
What Causes IBS?
When you're trying to figure out what caused your Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), you may be looking for just one trigger, or defining event.

Illness as a Pathway to Power
In 2018, I received an email from famed animal communicator Anna Breytenbach. It said: "If you're wondering why it's been awhile since you heard from me, it's because I'm on sabbatical this year.

Barbecue-Style Baked Beans Recipe – Sprouted!
I am just crazy for this pre-soaked, sprouted bean/lentil product. Of course, it's organic, but it's also available for a great price at Costco! It's the TruRoots Organic Sprouted Bean Trio and it contains mung beans, green lentils and adzuki beans. Most of us know we should be eating beans and lentils once our guts [...]
Started an Elemental Diet and Feel Worse
It's difficult for the body to adjust to a completely new food source (liquid, pre-digested) so expect an adjustment phase when you begin an elemental diet. At the same time, you need to be alert for signs of intolerance. Unfortunately, although no one wants to hear this, those two things can look/feel the same. "My [...]
Nano Minerals and my Healing Journey – a Reader Story
"These minerals have been super helpful in my healing!" This is a message I recently received from a reader in response to my post on the safety of Atom-Sized, Angstrom, Nano Minerals. I reached out to her immediately and asked if she would share her story with our Listen to Your Gut community, and she [...]
Are Atom-Sized, Angstrom, Nano Minerals Safe?
I first heard about atom-sized minerals back in 2006 - also called angstrom, picometer, or nano-sized minerals. As soon as most of us hear the words nano or nanoparticle, we get worried. It sounds so high tech - how can it be safe, or have a proven record of safety? However, when I looked at [...]
