I started working for Swanson Health Products as a 24-year-old in the summer of 2007. Growing up, I didn't pay attention to my health other than taking a few sporadic vitamins and occasionally glancing at some food labels. When I applied for a job with Swanson, the only thing I knew about the company was that you could buy vitamins and supplements from them.
After working at Swanson for a few years, I've come to realize how important my health is and how much control I have in maintaining my health. I have made many changes to my daily routines, focusing on improving my diet, incorporating some dietary supplements and moving towards natural products in my home. Here are some my favorite Swanson products:
I've learned a lot about natural health over the last few years and I will continue to learn a lot more in the years ahead. On this blog, I hope to share what I learn with you and hope you will comment on some posts and help me learn even more.

Recently,
Dr. Oz was promoting brown seaweed supplements. However, these
supplements are nothing new. Dr. Mercola has been a fan of brown
seaweed extract for a few years. This video from 2008 featured Dr.
Mercola promoting a brown seaweed extract supplement called
Fucoxanthin. Mercola explains that Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid that
is a natural thermogenic, which can stimulate the body to use
calories by burning fat tissue. He also promotes the fact that the
product is a non-stimulant.
The following list is products that I regularly buy from
Swanson Health Products. If I run out of any single one of them,
I'll buy them on the next employee order day. There are many other
products that I buy occasionally, but these are my family's
essential products. How many must have products do you regularly
order from Swanson Health Products?

I ate a gigantic salad for lunch almost everyday during my raw food
challenge. It was an easy way to incorporate a ton of vegetables
and even some fruits into my meal, and also was something that was
quick and easy to make and bring to work. Making my own raw salad
dressing was the most interesting part.
I tried to cram as many ingredients as I could into these salads
and they typically contained these ingredients.
During my week on the raw food diet, I really enjoyed my smoothies
for breakfast as well as my salads for lunch. The same thing can't
be said for my dinners. At dinner, I'm used to eating a large, warm
meal. I live in Minnesota. It's freezing outside, and our 'comfort
foods' are all warm. During raw food week, nothing was warm.
The first dinner of the week was Zucchini Noodles with Pesto. We
made a typical pesto sauce with basil, organic olive oil and pine
nuts. Zucchini noodles are made by using...Read More »
During my week on the raw food diet, breakfast was definitely my
favorite meal of the day. Before the raw food diet, I would either
skip breakfast or I would simply eat one piece of toast with
organic peanut
butter. I would also have a cup of coffee. During my week
raw, I turned my attention to raw smoothies.
I'm going to show you the basic recipe I used for my raw breakfast
smoothies. Each day, the recipe varied a bit to accommodate the
ingredients that were in my kitchen. Also, I used a normal...Read More »
The first step in my one week raw food diet challenge was to get
prepared. I knew I was going to need a lot of motivation and
support to get through a whole week entirely raw. These are the
steps I took to before starting the diet.

I got my wife Jenna and my good friends Ben and Emily to agree to
undergo the raw food challenge with me. Having friends and family
members also go raw really helped. It would have been more
difficult for me to create and eat raw meals, if I was...Read More »
