As I navigate my own healing journey and as I work with clients to help navigate them, I’ve become more and more fascinated by the role the mind plays on physical healing.
So often, even in functional medicine, we tend to focus on the physical illness. While I practice and firmly believe in the methods of functional medicine aimed at treating the root cause of an illness, we’re...
I am so excited to have my good friend, Dr. Rebecca Harvey join me today to talk about the mind-body connection and the importance of addressing emotional trauma and healing the mind as we’re healing our physical ailments.
One of the things I loved about the nutrition school I attended is that they addressed more than just good nutrition. We also learned the importance of nourishing our...
If you follow a dairy-free diet, then one thing you may be missing is ice cream. I mean, who doesn’t love ice cream, right? While there are many dairy-free ice cream brands in the grocery store, many of the ingredients are not all that great.
So, we’ve started making our own ice cream. It’s really quite easy, you can create your own flavors, and you can keep the ingredients...
Recently, I shared a wonderful recipe for homemade coconut milk yogurt that I got from a fantastic cookbook called the Gut Health Diet Plan. Today I’m sharing another amazing recipe from this book. If you’re looking for a healthy, sweet treat, then you’re going to LOVE this recipe.
These Matcha Superfood Bites are so delicious, easy to make and are packed with...
I’m now back home in Dallas after a 2 week stint in the UK. Hitchin, England to be exact. You may be thinking, “I’ve never heard of Hitchin. Why would you spend 2 weeks there?”
Well, I had never heard of Hitchin either until a few months ago, and while this was a relaxing trip, it was not for vacation.
I went to Hitchin because that’s the home of the ...
We love smoothies in our house. My husband, Ben, and I both start our day with a delicious protein smoothie. It’s such a great, easy breakfast option when you don’t have a lot of time to cook. Also, neither of us are big breakfast people, so drinking a smoothie is satisfying, filling, but not overly heavy. Ben’s most favorite breakfast is a chocolate peanut butter protein...
I recently had the pleasure to return to Health Geeks Radio to be a guest on their podcast for a second time. This time, we talked about the relationship between your gut health and your hormones, specifically, your adrenal hormones – cortisol and DHEA.
The HPA axis is what monitors and controls the production of cortisol and DHEA from your adrenal glands. These 2 hormones, in the right...
I imagine this topic of coffee enemas either intrigued you or freaked you out, or maybe a little of both. I totally understand. The first time I heard about people doing coffee enemas, I was pretty skeptical. Could that really be good for you?
I’ve had several clients lately ask me about coffee enemas, and if I thought they were beneficial.
Well, from much reading and researching,...
I love ice cream. It’s probably my favorite dessert. However, after removing lactose and most dairy from my diet several years ago, and then incorporating a paleo lifestyle, ice cream no longer had a home in our freezer.
I really didn’t miss it except for the times we’d be with family or friends and everyone was enjoying a bowl of creamy, delicious ice cream. But I knew, it...
I love brownies, and I love pumpkin. That’s why I LOVE these pumpkin chocolate chip brownies, and I know you will too!
Not only are they super easy to make (pour all ingredients into a bowl, mix together and bake), but they are a much healthier option when it comes to sweet indulgences.
These brownies are gluten-free, grain-free,and low sugar. But I promise, they are not lacking in taste....
