Question #1

Taylor asks, “Hi ladies! Do you have any tips on how to purify the air in your home? Now that spring is here I have been opening the windows more, but any other tips that I can use year round would be great! Thanks”

Clean your ducts regularly!

Harper asks, “Hi Janet and Emily – I recently started using a new whey protein, usually an hour after I have my shake I start to get uncomfortably bloated. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks in advance!”

Emily Says:

Sometimes we can get bloated if we skip breakfast which causes stress on the gut
Sometimes our body craves warm foods in the morning and the cold smoothie might be agitating your stomach
Certain food combinations can not work well together and cause bloating in the stomach
Whey protein can be hard for some to digest
Try a plant-based protein powder or a collagen protein!
