Guest Bio
Amy Ziff is a busy mom to three young kids, a healthy living coach, wellness advocate and blogger with a genetic predisposition to toxicity. (That means she has the MTHFR gene mutation, for those who want a little more science. And her kids share the same trait.) It means they don’t process toxins in the environment as well as some people, and it turns out this isn’t such a rarity. About half the population lives with this genetic “mutation” but doesn’t know it. Amy is determined to make the world a less toxic place for everyone’s benefit, and last year her “buy better” advocacy work reached over 1.5 Million people. She's helping moms harness their collective purchasing power to bring about massive change.
Ziff currently teaches classes on living a NoTox life, blogs about the chemical world we live in, and is launching the first Nontoxic seal of approval. Ziff is changing the world for the healthier one product at a time, one person at a time, one home at a time. -

Guest Bio
Fitness expert and founder of 360.Mind.Body.Soul, Ashanti Johnson battled weight gain throughout her teens and 20s. She discovered that no matter how healthy she ate, or how much she exercised, the pounds were not falling off easily.
After a careful look at her lifestyle, she realized that her weight gain was a direct side effect of her stress level. As a single working mother, her plate was beyond full. She was juggling too much, not getting enough sleep and it was all showing itself through her body. With this in mind, she set different goals for herself and in no time, started losing weight. With this new found lifestyle, Ashanti founded 360 MBS, a place where women from all walks of life could come together, de-stress while enjoying fun fitness classes, partaking in healthy living workshops/activities to ensure that no matter what their goals are for weight loss, they are relaxing their MIND, pampering their BODY and nourishing their SOUL. -

Guest Bio
Alan Smith has found greater health and happiness thanks to complementary and alternative therapies. Today he wants to share this hope of health with the world with his first book, UnBreak Your Health™.
A few years ago his deteriorating health took him to the finest medical facility in the world, the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Unfortunately, they didn't have any solutions for his digestive problems. The doctor managing his case put it simply: "There's good news and bad news. The good news is your condition isn't going to kill you. The bad news is you aren't going to like it and there is very little we can do about it."
Just a few weeks later, he discovered a new book by Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., called Biology of Belief. Lipton's book led him to Rob Williams's PSYCH-K® process. With the first signs of improvement he became so excited about complementary and alternative therapies that he began offering PSYCH-K®.
Even though his journalism degree was decades earlier, he dusted off his reporting skills and began researching and writing. As he finished one subject, he'd discover one or two more he'd never heard of until eventually UnBreak Your Health™ grew to more than 300 listings. The second edition, now How To UnBreak Your Health™, was published in June, 2010, featuring a new, user-friendly format and 339 new and updated listings in 150 different categories.
Today he enjoys the best health he's had in decades as a direct result of the complementary and alternative therapies included in his book. -
