Evidence-based nutrition articles and recipes which discuss and incorporate specific foods and herbs that can help support, balance, and optimize the immune system.
“Eat right with color”… one of the very first taglines (and most under-rated guideline) I learned in the nutrition world! Well this roasted beets and sweet potatoes veggie medley is certainly one way to do that. (Beet greens = bonus!) As I sit here at the end of the day on a Thursday evening, writing …
“Fermented? EW!” …This was my mother’s reaction when I offered for her to try this homemade lacto-fermented sauerkraut with probiotics back in the early stages of my healing journey… I kid you not. 😀 I mean, she has a point! When I used to think of “fermented” foods, the first thing that came to mind …
The original title of this recipe was “Morning Moringa Shake”. I then realized that sounded more like a dance move than a smoothie, so I changed the title of this recipe to what it is – a moringa smoothie!

Getting here was quite the whirlwind, but so worth it – I’m loving every minute so far! Especially as a summer solstice baby, I can’t say I mind the blazing hot sunny days… …

Although this seasonal McDonald’s minty-green dessert drink has been around since the 1970s apparently, I admit I didn’t know of this creation until 2011 when one of my clients asked me about it. My parents must have missed the Shamrock Shake memo when I was growing …
Ginger and lemongrass and coconut… Oh my!
