Have you heard the recommendation to eat certain foods (or all foods) raw?
Do you already eat a variety of healthy foods, and want to know how to get the most vitamins and minerals out of them?
You’re probably not surprised that there isn’t a “one size fits all” approach to maximizing the vitamins and minerals your body absorbs from foods.

In this post, I go over a few of the common symptoms, and two (very) common foods that you may be reacting to, but don’t even know it. Continue reading »
Oh no! Do you get hot flashes?
Did you know there are actually some foods (and drinks) that can help you with them?

Let me tell you all about it in this post. Continue reading »
I want you to know that you are NOT alone!
There are so many variables when it comes to weight gain and (of course) these go way above and beyond the concept of “calories in, calories out”.
I discuss the four top reasons in my newest post. And none of them are related to food or exercise. Continue reading »
