Developing intuition about our bodies comes from experience, and better understanding of the seasons. Learning tips on food, eating habits, self-care, and lifestyle can also improve our body, mind and spirit. Members of Health Yourself! will discover and share ideas so we can institute them in our lives, and bring them to our friends, family, and community.

This is a group for learning more about treating disease and illness - no matter how severe or minor - with food and nutrition. My life has been improved incredibly by making nutritional changes to my diet.

And also of course, there are so many resources an …
