Yes, I'm serious! (And don't you sometimes wonder anyway?) You already know that your poop can reflect your physical, and sometimes even emotional, health. You suffer constipation or have diarrhea when you eat something that "doesn't agree with you," or when you're super-nervous about something.

A food preservative is a substance added to foods to make them last longer; to "preserve" them. Preservatives are added to foods that go bad quickly and have found themselves in all kinds of products in our grocery stores. Preservatives work to preserve food in a few different ways.

You know how it makes you feel (i.e. your gut, your mind, etc.). Not to mention the crazy headlines that say coffee is great, and the next day you should avoid it! It can be so confusing!

Do you get hot flashes? Are they mostly at night? Do they set the bed on fire (but not in that way)? Let's get you some solutions!
