January 16th - Setting Intentions for the Year Ahead - a mini workshop! MEMBER HIGHLIGHT LAUREN KARL Hi! My name is Lauren Karl and I am a new member of HMN. I live in Elmhurst, IL and stay at home with my two sons, ages 5 and 2.5. They keep me on my toes and are full of energy 24/7! Haha. I am a holistic mom because:  I had interests in holistic living before children, but it wasn't until after having them that I really took it to the next level. My holistic passions are: My two biggest passions, aside from my family, are wellness and Jesus Christ. He forever changed my heart in 2002 and I love to share my testimony on how he changed my life. I have 3 degrees (all in health) and a license to practice dental hygiene. Shortly after graduation, I began to see the lies of the pharmaceutical industry and powers that be unfold and I have become awoken to it all and never stop researching and learning. I have an Instagram page that I enjoy posting about wellness and my personal journey: @mindbodyspirit312.   What inspires you about HMN or holistic living? I love to learn and be inspired by others on this same journey of wellness. All the stories and personal journeys really keep me going because I know there are many others like me. I would love to speak and/or meet you wonderful ladies in the near future. I was just telling my husband the other day that I love being in a group of like minded women! Before, I felt that I was sort of alone, and now I have others who think just like me and I love it! .       One of my favorite recipes: Grain-Free, Dairy-Free Meatballs 2018 MEETINGS (subject to change)   Dec 4th - Holiday Party - Two Brothers Roundhouse 2019 Starting in 2019, Meetings will be be held the 3rd Wednesday of the month at our new location, Steeple Run Clubhouse, 6s050 Steeple Run Drive, Naperville, IL.

While antibiotics are prescribed to be helpful, their bug-killing ability unfortunately is unable to distinguish between good and bad microbiomes.

Leaving the immune system compromised. We see an enormous upswing in autoimmune diseases, and it seems to coincide with the massive overuse of antibiotics. If we wipe out the good gut bacteria that is involved with strengthening the immune system, there is nothing to stop the autoimmune response which leads to inflammation and disease. Read my 9 natural and proven alternatives to many of the most commonly used antibiotics.
