Bio:

I am full of life, love, health and happiness. I write a subscription blog called GoodMoodFood. I want to share my energy and spunk w/ you.

What would make you a great representative of Nature Made SAM-e Complete^®?

Wow, when I saw this opportunity come through my email just now, it blew my mind! First of all, I take Sam-E Complete EVERY DAY!!! It is such a perfect mix of holistic goodness to add to my body. I have a masters in Holistic Nutrition and a rather big crush on healthy holistic living! I work in Cancer Treatment (Certified Medical Dosimetrist) a few days a week, but spend my spare time studying how to feel good! I definitely want to put in the time for a blog like this, and I also have the time to do it. As a matter of fact, I started a new subscription blog called "Good Mood Food" this month! My brother (who helped start facebook) and his developers recently developed a subscription blog service with the platform necessary to subscribe to an email-like blog. He knew I was neglecting my masters in nutrition and spreading my love of healthy living with others. So, he came up with this great idea. Check it out at http://www.letter.ly/goodmoodfood . Then, I see this opportunity come through! WOW! I love the social world on the internet and it has been my dream to contribute in this EXACT way! Plus, I am just a very motivational person when it comes to living healthy because I truly believe in it and live that way myself. I teach spin classes at a local fitness club and am involved in local running, biking, swimming, nordic skiing, and church groups. I am happily married and like to race in running races, triathlons, bike races, nordic skiing races, and any other endurance feat that interests me. I can sincerely say that most of my accomplishments have come to fruition because of my positive attitude and good mood. I want to share that with others and help the enthusiasm spread! :)

How do you maintain a good mood naturally?

This is how I sum up my life and good mood naturally, taken directly from my profile bio on facebook: "I get up and run because it makes my heart sing. I work in Dosimetry and the Cancer Center because it challenges my brain and it saves lives. I love my husband, my family, and my friends, because in the end, these relationships are what matter most. I live in Helena because I love to spend time with my grandparents, I love the mountains, and because it is in my blood and I love it here. I love to hug because it is real. I love to push my limits of endurance because it makes me feel alive. I help others with their health because it is rewarding for everyone. I smile because it feels good and it's contagious. I jump up and down and be goofy because it's fun. I consider myself extremely blessed to have a rich life full of close friends and family, a wonderful husband, and many epic adventures. Life is good. :)" In addition to the above, I like to live by the following quote, "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ~ John Eldredge In order to maintain my natural good mood, I also pay attention to specific things. For example, I take Sam-E every single day. I know it helps me biochemically, especially the serotonin swings that can happen with PMS. Sometimes, when people feel depressed it's because their serotonin is swinging out of balance and the uptake of it in the brain is off. Sam-E helps to prevent the swinging of that hormone because it is a re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI). I am also EXTREMELY interested in neuroscience, particularly with how the brain reacts to hormones and neurotransmitters. I am currently reading a book called "The Female Brain" by Dr. Louann Brizendine. It is fascinating! There is nothing better than sharing and talking about what I'm learning with others! I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY!!!!!! And, whatever happens, I SINCERELY believe it's a wonderful idea on your part to have someone do this! :)
