Many of my clients and patients are trying to cook healthier meals, but run into a wall when they attempt to get their kids to eat healthier foods. I know that it can seem like a daunting task when kids are surrounded by fast food ads, junk food in school and stores, and less than [...]
To me, winter is a wonderful time of year. I love the snow in the pines, I love the skiing and hiking with the dogs. I love the absence of mosquitoes and ticks and fleas.
But what is happening this year to winter? it’s grey, soggy, rainy, and I found ticks crawling up my arm last [...]
What is it that confounds us when it comes to eating well? Why do people ask me what it is they should be eating? Why is there such a focus— a fear– around the very thing that sustains us and gives us pleasure?
Only a generation ago, people knew what to eat. Today, nobody knows what [...]
Clean and Green!!
It’s been about 2 months since we began our spring cleaning. We have increased our intake of water, healthy teas and greens. Our bowels are flowing smoothly and our toxins are moving out of our body through our clear skin and invigorating breath. Do you feel the difference??
Now it’s time to eliminate [...]
It is well into spring, and I still have not gotten into the spring cleaning thing– I mean spring cleaning my body, of course. Something is holding me back. A few extra pounds, a bit too much sugar over the past couple months….a sore back that keeps me from exercising the way I want…

Autumn weather is by far my favorite. The crisp, cool morning air that warms up to a delightful sunny day is everything I dream about! Many of you know that I am the mother of 2 new poodles now, a middle-aged rescue mini named Smokey and a 7 month old, 47.3 pound Australian Standard poodle [...]
Okay, I came home from work, hungry and slightly irritable, and Sandy was up working at his Mom’s house. I wanted to make something for dinner and at the same time, use up some veggies that were on “borrowed time”. That eggplant needed to be cooked! Mind you, I was tired and needed something fullfilling [...]
Spring into early summer is the time of year for green salads. I eat a huge one every day. The nutrients, phytochemicals and chlorophyl are so good for my body: I always feel so clean after eating lots of salad. The variety of greens available is amazing, from mild Bibb lettuces to spicy mustard and [...]
When I think about my favorite fruits and vegetables, I realize that my favorites change with the seasons. I do my best to eat locally, and plan my meals around those things that are ripening as we speak. Right now, I have only one thing on my mind- BERRIES.
Berries—I can’t get enough of them. [...]
