The Ashley Berg File tells the story of four young women, having joined the navy for reasons as disparate as their backgrounds, who forge a life-long camaraderie to endure and overcome the seemingly insurmountable obstacles encountered as recruits in US Navy Boot Camp and A-School in 1987. To stand any chance of graduating, let alone achieving their hopes and dreams, the four must find the strength in each-other, while forging it in themselves, as they come face to face with the realities of being a female in the US military…knowing their stories will never be "on record".

If you’re ready to live as the best version of yourself, then it’s time to invest in your microbiome! It’s time to enrich your biodiversity.

What the microbiologists call a lean phenotype, an individual predisposed to leanness, hosts a richness of 100,000+ microbes per milliliter in the small intestine. In the large intestine, a mind-boggling 1,000,000,000,000+, a shitload of zeros, a stunning amount of microbes per milliliter, of trillions of microbes per milliliter.

In a garden, weeds have a devastating effect. By monopolizing the nutrients and choking the roots of the rest of the vegetation, weeds displace other plants. Like garden weeds, our microbiome is also challenged by pathogens. We call these pathogens gut roaches! We’ve chosen that lovely name because once gut roaches achieve large populations, our entire metabolism is biased to fat-storing. The challenges of losing weight become insurmountable!

A fat-burning metabolism needs a microbiome biased to thinness, and a thin microbiome needs a healthy colon. Why do some individuals only experience meager weight loss even after adopting a “healthy” diet and drastically reducing calories? Because of polluted colons! The Thin Microbiome Detox is not a magic pill or another clever marketing ploy that promises overnight success. Instead, it’s based on science with tools that will help you identify the root causes of your weight frustration and ensure your progress. The choice is yours. Which one do you truly want?

The microbiome—a universe within, the undiscovered organ, the final weight loss frontier. Whenever any scientist speaks about the microbiome, it’s always using staggering numbers. Thousands of different species, millions of genes, billions of proteins, trillions of microbes. But here is the weight game changer. The microbiome is our health engine, and it’s what determines whether our metabolism stores or burns fat. So understanding the microbiological effect of our calories is not only the road map to weight loss but what ensures sustainable healthy weight.

For most of my time on planet Earth, weight was not a mere number on the scale. Weight was the confidence to show up in the world, the possibility of attracting a mate, and ultimately what fueled myself-acceptance. That's why like most women, I invested a significant portion of my life force toward one thing: losing weight. As soon as I learned about the newest diet sensation, boom! I turned my life upside down. Then after months of white knuckles and Herculean efforts, I lost weight. But then I watched in horror as the scale went back up.

When Mestenga arrives in Mexico the time of the conquistadors is over—it is no longer the time of the warrior, but that of the settler, and the planter. But when their Capitán discovers a map that promises lost treasure they embark on one last exploration. The treacherous journey through jungle swamps teeming with dangers tests not only their faith in God but in each other.

We’ve all been around those people who can leave us feeling drained after an encounter with them. Some people can leave us feeling agitated or annoyed or even just feeling really bad about ourselves. The most important thing you need to understand when dealing with someone like this is that their behavior toward you has nothing to do with you, and more often reflects their inner mental and emotional state. Identifying their harmful behavior is the first step to minimizing their impact. You might not be able to change what they do, but you can change what you do with it.

Bitter. Broken. Angry. Empty. That about sums it up! My heart was snatched from me without remorse and life as I know it no longer exists. No one understood the pain. Friends and family who wished me the best only made things worst by saying all the right things at the wrong times. I was alone, abandoned even by God, and no one could comfort my dying soul. Reliving my son's last moments every time my loss was mentioned became my reoccurring trauma. Nothing prepared me for this. I realized the only way past the grief was through it, and that’s what pushed me to the pen.
