Some days I feel like Superwoman.
I feel like I can conquer everything in life.
I can do all that I’ve planned and I’m unstoppable.
But – there are days where nothing works the way you want it to.
Distractions, distractions and distractions. And it’s hard to stay focused.
This month I have been moving to a new home.
Moving is stressful.
Not that it’s hard, but you feel displaced.
You need to establish new roots in your home.
You have new cabinets in the kitchen.
You end up always looking for something and it’s takes
weeks and weeks to get used to it and start living your life normally.
This is one reason I have not been so consistent with my newsletter this month.
The other day I went to Ikea to pick up some shelving.
On the way back I started thinking and I had another epiphany!
I started laughing and crying simultaneously.
I realized that I’m a NOMAD!
I even called my daughter and shared with her my feelings.
We counted how many times I have moved and how many places I have lived!
It was funny.
She asked me why I can’t find my home?
I don’t know! That was my answer.
Maybe I am here to live and have many homes – so
that I have amazing life experiences?
So now I have so many stories I can write about!
And I promise you if I write a book it will be a bestseller!
I feel like moving from one place to another is so natural
to me – that I even take every move so stoically.
I go through it like it’s something in your life you just must go through.
And all of it is always based on your decisions you made.
So nobody to blame.
I remember six years ago or so I moved overseas.
It was a major move.
The day we arrived to the house where we where going to stay
we barely made it through the dinner and went straight to bed.
We slept about 12 hours straight.
When morning came – I opened my eyes and realized that I’m really tired.
The thought come through my head – “Well! Elena! You made your bed, now you have to lie in it!”
There’s no other way around it.
I picked up myself and even though I was just completely empty and my sixth sense
told me that I made a mistake, I knew I had to go though that experience and be strong.
That is what is life is all about.
It’s an experiment at the end of the day!
But with a strong will you only can run for so long!
Your immune system will shut it down if you do not support it properly.
And I wrote the other day about mushrooms and how you need to incorporate them into your daily diet.
All these years I have been using all kinds of mushrooms in my cooking and my supplements.
I think I posted in one of my previous newsletters the benefits of Chaga –
this is one mushroom I grew up with and still use regularly.
Another mushroom I was introduced to a decade ago is Reishi mushroom.
Reishi mushrooms are the most dynamic superfood.
In Chinese they call them “Lingzhi” – I can even pronounce it!
This fungus has been revered in Asia for thousands of years and
is one of the oldest symbols of well-being and longevity.
These “mushrooms of immortality” are found growing on plum trees
in the wild and were originally reserved for use only by royalty.
Yes – if they swore by them – why shouldn’t you?
Reishi mushrooms have become very popular lately.
And they are cultivated commercially throughout the world.
It’s available in many forms – tinctures to capsules, and powder in superfoods.
They are not really tasty – they are bitter.
But if you blend them or add to the teas with little bit of honey –
you can consume it knowing that they are super good for you!
And here are some of the most important benefits of them:
- Reishi mushrooms have anti-cancer properties.
- Reishi mushrooms help to regenerate the liver.
- Reishi mushrooms have neuroprotective properties – highly therapeutic effects on neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease.
- Reishi mushrooms can give your immune system a boost – they affect the genes in white blood cells, thus altering and lowering inflammation levels.
- Reishi mushrooms could help improve mood and might fend off depression – this is why I’m always happy! LOL.
There you have it.
My secret weapon to run all day and every day no matter what happens.
Stay healthy and happy – that’s my mantra! Everything else is a bonus!!!
But remember – there is a lot of junk Reishi on the market.
You always need a good source to get your supplements.
And as usual – here is the link for you – Health Ranger – my go-to supplier.
One of the best sources out there.

Check it out and get stocked on it.
Winter is coming.
The weather is changing rapidly.
Every day your body needs a boost.
Be prepared with proper nutrition and supplementation.
You will thank me later when you come to see me for a colonic…
See you soon.
