About me

Introduction	We're Jennifer and Samantha, a mother/daughter team. Jennifer lives in Charlotte, NC and Samantha lives in Boston, MA. Our family has always been “healthy” and never paid much attention to what we ate or strategies for a healthy lifestyle. We ate typical American food and used popular advertised products. Family favorites included Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Oreos, and the extent of our cooking was ‘tuna in a glob on a plate.’ We loved our kitchen conveniences like Teflon-coated cookware, and our fragranced Bath and Body Works products, and our trendy drugstore/mall makeup.
Favorite movies	Then in 2009, Paul (Jennifer’s husband/Samantha’s father) was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease which started us on our healthful journey. We immediately started researching and sharing everything we could find with each other and with him. It became clear to us the connection between what you put in and on your body and overall health. We were eager and anxious to start practicing what we had been learning – to stop our bad eating habits and get rid of everything in the house with dangerous ingredients. Paul, however, was more skeptical to see a connection, but luckily he loves his girls and knew the only way to get any peace was to at least try what we were recommending. Happy to report: He is feeling MUCH better and as you will read throughout this blog you can learn things to help him get to this point.
