Hi everyone. I am new to the group and excited to find you and learn from you. I am a mom on a long journey back to good health using nutrition. After my son was born, I was wasted...watching him full-time, working full-time, and helping my husband in his business. Thanks to the guidance of a great Dr. of Oriental Medicine and eating nutrient dense food, I am about 80% back to my old self. Thank goodness the body has a great capacity to heal!

Foods that have seriously helped me are kefir, sauerkraut and bone broth. I love to learn about how nutrient dense food promotes healing. Sally Fallon (Nourishing Traditions) and Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride (GAPS) are my biggest influences. My family's healing journey has been incredibly fun, with the most recent thing to crack us up being that my husband cured a skin rash by applying kefir. We have also had a couple of one day colds thanks to the double orange kefir smoothie. We are crazy about kefir.

I have a blog that contains videos showing how to make kefir, bone broth, and sauerkraut, as well as discussing my family's journey. Soon I will be adding a shot of my almost 6 year old drinking his Cod Liver Oil, as I know there are parents whose children struggle with this. On Friday my husband and I are going to start blogging about our perspectives when my health began to decline and then come back, in hopes of helping other couples who struggle with the same thing. Please go to www.movingstronglyforward.typepad.com if you would like to learn more.

I look forward to learning from you!

Hi everybody. I write about a very important health issue for moms and moms-to-be: postpartum depression. My blog Postpartum Progress is the most widely-read blog in the United States on perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, antepartum depression (during pregnancy), postpartum psychosis and more.

"Music ....the soundtrack to personal emotional health!"

As a 50 year old mom of 3 who has lost 100 pounds I obviously have many opinions on achieving a weight loss goal. We all hear our own drum beat when it comes to the "battle of the bulge". Unfortunately most of us who struggle with this have it throughout our lives. I refer to myself as a food-a-holic and that I am in recovery, never really healed.
I had the opportunity of interviewing Carnie Wilson on one of my Musical Health Podcasts. Interesting...nice lady. Here is a woman who many of us grew up with watching her images flash across the screen on MTV while she sang with group Wilson Phillips. Here obesity was at a peek at that time. Beautiful face , lovely singer...good song "Hold On!"
I discussed "Musical Health" with Carnie...the idea that we musicians/singers and entertainers hold a large card in getting people motivated to move.

For music is the universal language to us all. Not just beats(bpm) and tempo, but style, lyrics and emotional subject can tap our core to places that have a key to our memory. Gives us feelings that can take our mind away to another place in time. The soundtrack of our lives. This can often distract us long enough, if we pop on headphones and move, to go that extra mile on a treadmill...or bounce that extra couple of minutes on a rebounder...etc....cardio important as it is usually is the thing that most of us dread, Yes, even though I run 3 miles everyday complete with ab work, arm raises, stretching....etc...I too need that musical health motivation. This is why I write music. Selfish of me. For while writing music for the fitness community, then listening to the track and working on lyrics and vocals there after...this enabled me to keep my fitness regime in check long enough to lose 100 pounds. Composing and writing is still how I stay motivated. Writing music for others to in turn help myself. See?

Hi, there, Cascia!

What a great idea for a group!

This month I started a feature called Fit Mommy Friday with tips to help Moms become more active, and I just posted on my Twitter Moms blog with information about the Peanut Butter Recall.

I know that Midwest Moms has a lot more than just health articles, but I hope I can be a positive part of this group!
