Marpé Wellness is all about holistic nutrition education, so it is fitting that we have connected with someone formally trained in just that. Today I want to introduce you to my new friend and our newest contributor to the blog, Julie! Julie has been working for Dr. Brown at the front desk of his practice for over a month now. Considering her background, we have asked her to also write new articles pertaining to a holistic lifestyle that we can then share with our readers. We are so excited to have her join the NDAMC/Marpé team! Read below to...
In light of the recent ongoing natural disaster in Houston, it seems imprudent and insensitive of me to discuss anything other than ways to help those that are hurting. Houston is my hometown, and I am just utterly heartbroken over the devastation that has hit so many residents of this amazing city including many personal friends of mine. As I look out my window at the beautiful sunny day here in Dallas, just four hours north of the city underwater, I am humbled, baffled, and simply compelled to do something. But what? Here are some real and immediate ways...
Well, this last Wednesday marked a special day in our household. I finished my Whole30, and aside from a few accidental slip-ups, I stayed true to my word and went a whole THIRTY days without sugar, grains, corn, soy, dairy, alcohol, or processed foods. These are all foods that I strive to avoid on a regular basis, but during these 30 days I committed to not eating them at all, which was more of a challenge than you might expect!
During this time, I also committed to spending more time with God, praying more, and reading the Bible more (especially...
I wanted to let you all know that we have some big changes in store for our Meal Planning Service in 2017. Right now the service itself is the same (4 recipes per week + grocery list with 2 weeks shown at a time), but our plans to support you in your efforts of feeding healthy, wholesome meals to your family are going to be taken to a whole new level!
To start, we have created a Facebook group that will serve as a hub of communication between our members and myself. I will share Marpé news as well as...
So our first week of the Whole30 program is in the books. Let me tell you... this thing is no joke! And I'm not gonna lie ... there is a part of me that is completely worn out from all the cooking, cleaning, and planning, and there were days in there that I thought I might not make it through. But I did it. And my husband did it. We are relieved and proud.
I've heard that the first week is the hardest. So far I can say that is true since as of yesterday I am starting to feel...
Can I get real with y'all? I basically have no idea what I'm doing. I mean I've spent the past 5 years trying to figure out how I can fuse my love for healthy living, my joy in helping others, and my confidence in Dr. Brown and his God-given gifts with my desire to have a career I'm passionate about and a work-from-home income stream that allows me to prioritize my children. And to be completely honest, it's not really working. We have been faced with every imaginable and unimaginable obstacle a new business can face... from changes in...
Can you believe it?! Our meal planning and educational website is finally here!! We are beyond stoked. For several months now, our team has been busy cooking and doing all the behind the scenes prep so you can have this amazing service just in time for the new school year. I hope you spend some time browsing the new site and getting familiar with all the new features. Make sure and sign up for at least The Sampler Membership so you can get a glimpse of what our meal plans will look like. First complete meal plan will be released THIS...
Hi all!!
I hope everyone has been enjoying the start to the holiday season! As promised {albeit much later than I had hoped}, I can finally share the newly updated version of “The Dr. Brown Diet.”
These are the recommendations of our very own holistic health expert, Dr. David Brown. In his practice and at Marpé, we believe that the most foundational step you can take toward a holistic lifestyle is changing your diet to include the foods found in more traditional cultures of the past and to exclude all the overly processed, high sugar, high trans fat foods we see in...
Hi everyone! Those who know me well are aware of my intense love for word games and understand why the above photo is the perfect way to express how I am feeling right now! I know I've been a little MIA as of late, but don't worry I have been working really hard behind the scenes toward my goal of turning this little blog into an "all-things-holistic" educational AND meal planning service website featuring Dr. Brown and his many years of experience and wisdom in the field! We are probably a month from it's official launch and I am SO...
Hi friends!
I hope you all have been enjoying this crazy time of family, food, and FUN! If your holiday has been like mine, the New Year is probably creeping up on you fast and New Year's resolutions are the furthest thing from your mind! Maybe you are still scrambling to find a sitter for the NYE party as I was a few days ago {my mother-in-law came to our rescue.} Or maybe you gave up on that idea completely and decided to stay home in your PJ's tomorrow night {a good option I have chosen many-a-time in the last...
Hi everyone! Welcome to the blog for Marpé: Holistic Wellness Solutions. I'm Kristen, an aspiring "crunchy" mommy to four beautiful kiddos. About two years ago, I approached my chiropractor and natural doctor, Dr. David Brown, of North Dallas Alternative Medicine Center with an idea to help bring his unique treatment style to the world {especially to other moms like me!}. This brainchild of mine eventually developed into our company, Marpé. Our mission is two-fold. We want to provide health conscious consumers with high-quality natural products as well as present useful information pertaining to a holistic lifestyle. The first half...
