Grilling season is here, and with that comes the joy of cookouts and backyard barbecues! In our house, backyard barbecues are on all summer long. It’s a great way to get outside, cook a meal without heating up the house, and gather with friends.  From a health perspective, it can be difficult navigating these potluck-style meals while trying to follow a healthy, anti-inflammatory diet. Charred meats and packaged salads don’t exactly make you feel or look your best. Not to mention most pre-made convenience foods are packed with inflammatory ingredients, and can do more harm than good. What if you could transform these nostalgic recipes in your own kitchen to turn them into superfood sides?! Just like many recipes, these classic barbecue sides can be homemade with...

You can start to feel it in the mornings, the cool moving air, the crispness of fall mornings. The days are still ripe with the energy and heat of the sun, but days are coming into balance as nights grow longer. It’s the season where we watch the seeds of springtime flourish in full bloom and celebrate the fruits of the Earth. The trees are still vibrantly green, the sun is strong and penetrating, but there is a cool breeze that hovers in the air bringing a change in the season. Nature’s bountiful fertility is evident all around us as tomatoes ripen on the vine, squash plump and turn into the vibrant shades of fall. Fruit trees are heavy with fruit and tubers are plumping in...

I hope you are finding ways to embrace and enjoy the summer season! 🌞 🙏🏾 🌻 The time of year where the sun shines upon us most intensely, our peak season of light. The long days provide us with more time to engage with the outside world, which makes it an amazing time for connecting with nature, friends, family, and epic adventures. Long days also allow us more time to take a step back with a slower, more methodical pace and create. On the other hand, the long hot days, and short warm nights can make sleeping difficult and instigate feelings of agitation, lethargy, and apathy. Yet another reason why it is important to adjust your rituals and routine with the seasons. As someone...

Fine Tuning Food Quality

Today I want to dive into the importance of choosing high-quality food and what to look for. This subject is of the utmost importance, no matter what type of diet you follow! Attention to food quality will save you from exposure to countless antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, colorings, additives, artificial flavorings, and more. It allows your microbiome to thrive and provides you with more nutrients per bite. By making high-quality food a priority, you are also ‘voting’ with your wallet against additional pesticides, antibiotics, and other chemicals in our environment, which we know are killing off our pollinators. Organic foods have also been shown to be more nutrient and antioxidant-rich, and this is multiplied for fresh, seasonal foods as well! Going Organic Because foods grown organically require healthy...

In this article, I want to dive into some of the nuances of our microbiome, the impact on our health, and particularly our immunity. Because gut health and immune health are deeply intertwined and it’s rare that we see one in the absence of the other. In fact, autoimmune diseases, heart disease, certain cancers, and even viral susceptibility has been associated with an imbalanced microbiome or dysbiosis. You’re likely familiar with the microbiome concept by now. For a general overview, we have an entire ecosystem that outnumbers us by 100 to 1 in the lining of our gut. These microbes have evolved with us and other living things over millennia and even though these organisms are not exactly a part of us, they are essential for...

In the age of globalization, you can board a plane and be halfway across the world in a matter of hours. Our economy is flush with goods from all around the world at our fingertips. We heard about the Coronavirus outbreak in China, but it seemed a world away until about a month ago in rural Colorado, two months for some. But in this globalized economy, the spread didn’t take long. Now the viral outbreak has infiltrated the United States. It has disrupted our daily life, and will likely have far-reaching economic consequences. This virus has found a chink in the armor of the entire world: the health of the population. Humor me, and take a step back from the fear and the day to...
