Purple Almond Wellness: Your M.A.P. to brain health, wellness and quality of life. Daily Inspiration: Proof of Heaven

Dr. Eben Alexander, is an academic neurosurgeon, with over 30 years experience. He spent his entire career believing that near death experiences were nothing more than hallucinations produced by the mind during the process of death…until it happened to him.

At 4:30 A.M. on November 10, 2008, Dr. Alexander became extremely ill with a very rare form of bacterial meningitis. Within four hours, he was in a deep coma, where he remained, on a ventilator, for the next 7 days. What he experienced during those 7 days changed his life forever.

Here is his story…

Welcome to The Purple Almond Wellness I’m Tamara Hoerner, MHNE, wellness educator and founder of Purple Almond Wellness. I work with middle-age individuals to help support brain health and develop whole body wellness, in order to improve the quality of their mid-life years. Heart and Alzheimer’s diseases run in my family and I struggled with weight loss, so I strive to help others with similar conditions. Using only nutrition, I rid my body of seasonal allergies, Psoriatic Arthritis and migraines, as well as cured my insomnia. I know what it takes to use food as medicine, especially in middle age. As a wellness educator and Summa Cum Laude graduate of Hawthorn University, I develop personalized nutrition plans and wellness education sessions, to help clients. For me, the name Purple Almond symbolizes “Good, nutritious, whole food bringing light and life to the body, awakening the inherent healing mechanisms within.” I'm all about getting back to the basics, good old fashioned traditional organic, whole food, the kind your great-grandmother used to eat. You'll find no processed foods here. Just good food to heal your whole body. I also believe a healthy body isn't just about food. Stress plays a large part in the physical health of our body. I, therefore, believe in using anything that relieves stress and heals the body, including: mediation, yoga, music, laughter, inspiration and helping others. You'll find all these included in my blog as well. View all posts by Tamara Hoerner
