Goslet Piper

Health Coach & Educator

My name is Goslet Piper.  I hail from the islands of Trinidad and St. Vincent in the Caribbean.  I have been an educator for the past twenty-five years.  I recently retired from elementary school.  Presently I am an associate adjunct professor at a college in New york.  I grew up on natural foods in the island, so I always had a passion for the natural way of life.  My parents would always give us a natural remedy for any illness.

For the last twenty years or so I have consume my myself in finding out how natural remedies work for health and wellness. I am presently being trained as a Certified Health and Wellness Coach.  I know there is a lot of information out there, but I would like to simplify it for my clients.  I would like to help everyone heal themselves naturally and live a healthy life.


Olive Leaf Outperforms Diabetes Drug

Just found this article in Natural Awakenings Magazine: Olive leaf may provide nature's answer to diabetes treatment. A recent study from the University of Auckland, in New Zealand, suggests that olive leaf extract can help reduce insulin resistance and increase insulin production by beta cells in the pancreas. The researchers tested 46 middle-aged, obese adults at risk for developing metabolic syndrome-related Type 2 diabetes. In the double-blind placebo-controlled study, olive leaf extract outperformed the diabetes drug metformin and "significantly improved insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell secretory capacity," according to the researchers. Insulin helps escort glucose into the body's cells. Something to think about. Check with your health care provider before trying anything on your own.
