Reinette Senum EXPOSES the SERPENTS

At Paleovsketo, we believe this starts with being aware of all the ingredients and sources in what we consume daily.

By understanding how our diet works together with our lifestyle and habits, we can begin the journey to better health.

It's not just about eating the right food; it's also about developing positive behaviors for lasting changes.

The key is basically learning to trust yourself and your intuition when it comes to deciding what’s best for your body.

For example, instead of trying a certain trend because everyone else is doing it or looking at calorie counts on packaging labels while shopping, focus on maintaining an overall healthy mindset and getting into the habit of aiming for a wholesome diet made up of mostly whole foods.

This will bring clarity around choosing better options no matter where you are or what’s available.

Ultimately, only you know what fits within your life and dietary needs - so have faith in yourself!
