When I was younger, I wasn’t a fan of foods like tuna sandwiches or egg salad. I was repulsed by the combination of smooth and crunchy textures. Nuts in cookies? Gag me.

I’ve done quite a lot of reading about herbs and supplements. First, because I teach a college course called Vitamins, Herbs, and Supplements, and second, because I’m interested in trying new herbs out on myself and willing clients (but I want to do it in the safest way possible).

I’m a huge fan of coconut products, and once bought 25lbs of raw unprocessed coconut flakes because I didn’t think about how much that actually was (it was on sale online at Wilderness Family Naturals! …Note: I also almost bought this again recently, knowing how much …
