Hello there! It has been a hot minute since I posted a new blog, and that’s because I’ve been busy emailing with my subscribers about detox! (did you know you can easily join that list below?? We’d love to have you!)
This post is from week 1 of my series on detox....
I’m so excited to kick off our monthly nutrient spotlight starting with ZINC! This under-appreciated powerhouse nutrient deserves to be highlighted all by itself. Zinc often gets lumped in with other nutrients but it is super important to recognize all that it does for our...
We spend most of our youth in school. Nearly all of it in fact. Learning all the things deemed important: math, writing, spelling, reading.
Very few schools teach us how to listen to our bodies, trust our intuition, and feed ourselves well, let alone how to grocery shop and...
Dry. Scaly. Red. Itchy. Inflamed. These are all signs of eczema, a common skin condition that is unfortunately on the rise in both adults and children.
I first became aware of this condition when I started working with my pediatric clients 14 years ago. Child after child had red,...
I was recently on a call with a nutritionist who went into business the year I was born (!!!). She was amazing to speak to and I learned a lot from her just in the 30 minutes I had her all to myself. Of all the things she shared with me, the most concerning one was that the majority...
If you know me (and most of you do, you are my people!), you know I do not shy away from controversy. I’m generally well prepared for a good debate (I mean, I DID make it to state in debate a couple of times in high school, just saying), and I love to swap research with people....
Let’s talk about kids and nutrition.
I’m starting a 3-part series on the subject. We’ll start with the first steps of infant/toddler foods, move into talking about why our national childhood chronic illness rates have jumped from 14% when I was a kid to 49%...
No matter where you live, it’s officially Fall, which means pumpkins, squash, apples, and so many other amazing autumn foods.
Even in the heat of Arizona or Las Vegas, a pumpkin spiced latte is all the rage. Thank GOODNESS someone invented pumpkin creme cold brew for these poor...
Let’s start what it’s not:
-
a miracle worker
-
a calorie-counter
-
a voodoo anti-medicine person
-
someone who tells you WHAT or HOW to eat
-
someone who judges you
Ok, so now what IS a holistic nutritionist:
-
someone who believes that the root cause of health is...
Well, after two very long years, mostly during a pandemic, while working and parenting (and being part-time teacher for a few months), and starting a small business, I am FINALLY done with school. Not done with learning (that curve is just starting), but done with research papers,...
Anyone else feel like they are experiencing deja vu right now?
Masks, lockdowns, talks of mandating vaccines. Regardless your opinion on any of these things, it feels like 2020 all over again. It’s clear that we need to go back to the drawing board and boost up the only...
It’s finally here! The weekend where we get the opportunity to honor those who have died in service for this country and our freedom. AND it’s the unofficial kick-off to summer!!
There are a few must-haves our family relies on this time of year, and I wanted to share as...
