Welcome to Smart Foods to Freedom
When you learn how to muscle test your food and learn about gut-healthy foods, along with some de-stressing meditation practices, you’ll have a tool box that can assist you on your journey to wellness, and more freedom to live a vibrant life.
This process takes dedication and commitment and a willingness to let go of some things and add new ideas along the way.
This site is filled with articles on food, energy testing, new gut-biome information, and much more. I’m including a few recipes as well as a few web links for even more delicious recipes.
Learning to eat more consciously leads to more conscious decisions on what we buy, and in the long term creates a more conscious living paradigm – such as buying local, which supports local farmers and entrepreneurs.
There are also videos on the ‘how and what’ of energy and muscle testing – the basis of Smart Foods to Freedom.
Hi, I'm Ann Metcalfe - founder of Smart Foods to Freedom
This awakening journey I created is much different from the hospital nursing I used to do and now as a school teacher I get to take those skills down another path – teaching others how they can be more present to the food they eat in order to be the best version of themselves.
Ever felt like you’ve been sleep-walking through life and accepting things as they are – just because? You too can be more fully present to life, and it starts with that which sustains our physical being: FOOD!
I invite you to explore new possibilities beyond what you thought was possible. I did and you can too!
