I’m in the middle of beet paradise! I’ve eaten (or drunk) an average of two beets a day for the past week, and I’m also soaking beans to make baked beans for a party. Yesterday, my little love (the guy above on the right who is sweetly helping his friend ease into the lake), …
What did your 4th of July look like? Did you plant a garden this year? Want some beets?
I spent the last 5 days in southern California, in both LA and north of San Diego (Fallbrook/Temecula/Bonsall). There was just so much going on with the wedding, family, and Mom and I trying to make the most of our trip (we did, btw). We (mom and I) uninvited the boys (all 3 of them) …
I’ve written in the past about the concept of being grounded…electromagnetically speaking, that is. It really is an important concept—in fact, many people go entire (winter) seasons without coming in contact with the ground even once (due to shoes and tires and cold weather).

I’m just coming down from the high of being at a Food as Medicine conference, where 300 health professionals (doctors, dieticians, and others) gathered to learn about the cutting edge research from experts in the field (Neal Barnard, Mark Hyman, John Bagnullo, etc.). I learned so much, and I want to share all of it, …

First, because I teach a college course called Vitamins, Herbs, and Supplements, and second, because I’m interested in trying new herbs out on myself and willing clients (but I want to do it in the safest way possible). The herbal supplement industry is very …

First: Please go over to the SunButter website and read my guest post! I’d love it if you’d leave a comment over there. SunButter is my favorite (it’s kinda like crack in my house…Joe thinks I have a problem, seriously. But it’s just so good—and it’s in my new brownie recipe that I’m going to …

Throughout my childhood, I was rarely exposed to anything bad or scary or negative. Sure, my dad could be a little intimidating when he had his disciplinarian hat on, but that isn’t what I think about when I reminisce about my young life. I never actually heard my mom swear until she said the word …
I’ve read a lot about how rhythmic repetitive activities, like knitting, can be used effectively for stress relief. I’ve tried knitting, and it’s not really my thing. I’ve tried to find other activities that would fill that need—the need to relax, when sitting still and doing nothing doesn’t seem to work (mind racing, To-Do List …
