Welcome back to the Raising Healthy Families series! Join us each week as we take a look at different ways to keep your family healthy and vibrant in a not-so-healthy world.

Did you realize that our health is intimately connected to soil? It plays a role in our mental health as well. Read Learning and Yearning’s post,  Go Play in the Dirt! It’s Good for your Health to learn more about a very special bacteria found in soil which boosts serotonin in our brains. The post has lots of ideas for getting dirty, too! As if you needed help with that. 🙂

Note: This series is designed as a fun and informative compilation to help you and your family thrive. Each post is the opinion of that particular blogger, not necessarily mine or Positively Real Media’s.

Hi, I'm Paula - wife and homeschooling mom of six. Several family health issues, including candida and Lyme disease, has created a passion to take care of the bodies God's given us. My husband Travis and I are now free of the candida overgrowth that once caused bloating, brain fog, joint pain, and much more. I love helping clients from around the world to do the same with our Kicking Candida Program. Join our community on Facebook and via weekly newsletter where I share recipes, articles, and insight on living healthy.
