Book Review by Kirkus:
“Debut author Sacchetti chronicles her tumultuous love life and the strength she drew from her Christian faith to navigate it. Sacchetti offers an account of an admirable capacity for love and forgiveness, and she effectively shows how those virtues were tested greatly by her life’s travails over the course of this remembrance. She conveys her dramatic experiences with clarity and humility and without resentment for people who let her down.” Kirkus

Wellness Tip #1: Magnesium
Take a quality magnesium supplement an hour or two before going to bed to make it easier to fall asleep and to induce a deeper sleep.
Magnesium helps relax muscles and calm the brain. Eighty percent of Americans are deficient in magnesium. Medical research has linked magnesium to reduced anxiety. Aim for a 350 mg magnesium supplement. Check with your health care provider if you are taking any medicine or if you have diabetes, intestinal, heart or kidney disease before taking magnesium. I will take magnesium nightly as this one mineral that the body needs has changed my life forever!
Wellness Tip #2: My Morning Routine
When was the last time you woke up smiling and excited to start the day? It is proven that the way we spend the first 10 minutes of the day sets the tone for the entire day.
As soon as my eyes open, I smile and start the day being thankful. I thank God for the new day. Mornings are a time of newness and optimism.
I ask myself what is the one task that if completed today will make my life better. This sets your day up for success!
Wellness Tip #3: Hydration
Upon waking, the body is generally dehydrated and it is recommended to start the day with around 16 ounces of filtered water (2 glasses full). Another option is adding a glass of pure coconut water or Pellegrino mineral water from the Italian Alps to your water intake. Pellegrino is the only quality carbonated water that is ph balanced at a 7. Italy is the only country that regulates their carbonated water. Add a twist of lime or a few raspberries for more flavor.
A side note: it is better to buy water in a glass bottle than in plastic bottles as phthalates can leach into the water. Phthalates are known endocrine disruptors on hormones.
Wellness Tip #4: Essential Supplements
A high quality, whole foods multi-vitamin
Vitamin D3 with K2
A high quality Omega 3 fish oil or plant-based (aim for 1,000 mg of DHA)
Magnesium (Magnesium "Glycinate" helps with sleep, anxiety and brain health)
7 Types of Rest that Every Person Needs

"I am prone to very painful spasms coming from my shoulder down to my arm. I always had to take Tylenol or Advil and it hardly helped. But now with Karen's method, I found relief with this miracle stretch. I could be anywhere, I do it and feel instantly better. Thank you Karen."
