We had a “picky eater” breakthrough in our house today! You should first know the backstory. One of my sons was born with my addiction to carbs. He was even nick-named “Noodles”. As hard as I tried to feed him the foods I knew were nutrient-dense, he rebelled. He was the ultimate picky eater. We’ve come a long way. Some of the more successful things we did was identify the healthy foods that he did like and focused on those, … Continued
We will be planning a Detox Workshop soon and I hope you will come. We talk about the sneaky chemicals that we are all exposed to on a daily basis and easy swaps or ways to avoid them. And, of course, we talk about food. Honestly, I think I’m obsessed. If I am not talking about food, I am thinking about food. I love to eat, try new foods and flavors and uncover hidden culinary talents that my family and … Continued
This is probably the wrong place for what I am about to write but since we are all going through this human (or parenting) experience, we sometimes find that the experience of others helps guide our own. Aaand, I need to start somewhere. You may have noticed that I don’t blog much. It’s not that I don’t have something to say or the time to say it, it’s that I am always checking, perfecting and second-guessing. I have a computer … Continued

Her joints started aching and she developed bloating and stomach pain. We self-sabotage for many reasons but the most controllable is being prepared for those times our better thinking gets hijacked. Here are a few steps to avoid self-sabotage when it comes to eating the things you know that harm you. Identify the … Continued
Not really. It was actually in my clinic when the radiologist chose to accompany his wife for her chiropractic and nutrition appointment. I had the opportunity to talk to him when the subject of thermograms versus mammograms came up. Most people know what a mammogram is, but if you don’t, it’s an x-ray to screen for breast cancer that is well regarded in the traditional medical establishment. The argument among holistic practitioners is that it exposes the body to harmful … Continued
