I’m in the middle of beet paradise! I’ve eaten (or drunk) an average of two beets a day for the past week, and I’m also soaking beans to make baked beans for a party. Yesterday, my little love (the guy above on the right who is sweetly helping his friend ease into the lake), …
This week flew by, didn’t it?! Since I’m working mostly from home all summer, distinguishing between weekdays and the weekend really doesn’t matter too much—except that more people are around me on the weekends, so I get less work done (a-Ok with me!). I’m still grinning at my garden pics—and there will be more to …
What did your 4th of July look like? Did you plant a garden this year? Want some beets?
I go through phases of drinking coffee, quitting drinking coffee, drinking coffee on weekends only, and more. I can’t tell you exactly why I keep cycling through these phases, it seems to change over time and it is a definite trend for me. Why am I talking about this? There is so much conversation about …
I spent the last 5 days in southern California, in both LA and north of San Diego (Fallbrook/Temecula/Bonsall). There was just so much going on with the wedding, family, and Mom and I trying to make the most of our trip (we did, btw). We (mom and I) uninvited the boys (all 3 of them) …

First Thing: If you’re here for the tuna recipe, which by the way, is not an endangered species, go get it here. Although a very specific (tipsy) public figure decided to trash me on twitter for posting a tuna recipe (apparently, promoting more veggies and less tuna is not sufficient in saving the waning tuna-to-be-canned population …
When I was younger, I wasn’t a fan of foods like tuna sandwiches or egg salad. I was repulsed by the combination of smooth and crunchy textures. Nuts in cookies? Gag me. (Actually, I still don’t really prefer that combination). Macaroni salad with crunchy onions or celery? …It made me crazy (I was also more …

Generally, when I discuss the vagus nerve and its profound impact on stress levels (and all the associated physiological effects) with clients, they quietly repeat the word Vegas, and then giggle (men included). The funny thing is, I’ve never been to Vegas and my science-loving brain automatically thinks Vagus whenever I hear either word. Why …
I’m just coming down from the high of being at a Food as Medicine conference, where 300 health professionals (doctors, dieticians, and others) gathered to learn about the cutting edge research from experts in the field (Neal Barnard, Mark Hyman, John Bagnullo, etc.). I learned so much, and I want to share all of it, …
