The Christmas countdown has begun!!!
I thought I’d do a few short letters throughout the season with timely tips and information to smooth out the holidays and keep you well!
I just finished reading a journal article on Vitamin D. Many of you know that I am a big proponent [...]
Summer’s bounty is, well, bountiful, as we make our way into August. I have been slicing cucumbers into salads and shredding summer squash almost nightly. I never seem to catch up! Don’t get me wrong, I am so in love with my vegetables that I could eat them for every meal, and often I do [...]
Summer’s bounty is here at last! Trying to keep up with all the vegetables and fruits that this season brings can be a daunting task, but I’m up for the challenge! You all know by now that a diet that is based around vegetables and fruits (and beans, nuts and seeds) is the ONLY way [...]

Sandy and I just returned from a weekend on Block Island where we spent much [...]
Had to take a moment and write about these goodies. They are truly awesome!!
We all know when we get a craving for something. Something sweet, something salty, something warm and rich, something crunchy. Well, I have the healthy answer for the something crunchy part! What would you think of a gluten and wheat free cracker [...]
In our group meeting the other week, we talked about spirituality and the need to feel a part–not apart—of this world. It is not enough to be just a worker, a student, a spouse, a parent. We need to feel connection to a larger entity. We need this so that we are not alone when [...]
Okay, I understand that this is not every woman’s favorite subject, but I also know that it is something that many women know about all too well. For some reason, it is a condition that plagues women far more frequently than men.
When I do intakes on my patients and clients, one of the things I [...]
