Can You Really Prevent Morning Sickness?
After my second baby was born, I learned that it may be possible to prevent morning sickness using proper prenatal nutrition. Turns out that the standard recommendation to take prenatal vitamins for three months before conception is just a bare-bones insurance plan. While I would have preferred not feeling awful for the first few months of pregnancy, I was excited to see if I could help other mamas to endure less … [Read more...] about Can You Really Prevent Morning Sickness?
7 Surprising Foods to Balance Your Hormones
As a grown up, I've become somewhat of an expert in hormones, but I really wish I understood more about women's health growing up. Those sex-ed classes were pointless. And as a teen, my hormones were a hot mess. Dermatologists assured me there were no specific foods to balance hormones to improve my awful acne so I was prescribed antibiotics and retin-A instead. I had mood swings like hurricanes, and my monthly periods … [Read more...] about 7 Surprising Foods to Balance Your Hormones

Drugs in Drinking Water – How to Protect Yourself
You may have noticed, I'm a bit of a freak about real food and holistic health. We get pastured meat direct from our farmer; I avoid additives and mystery ingredients like the plague; I even make my own body products when I can 't find ones that are 'clean' enough. It's my thing. So you can imagine, I wasn't thrilled to learn that there may be prescription drugs in drinking water that my family and I consume every single … [Read more...] about Drugs in Drinking Water – How to Protect Yourself

If you've read any of my blog posts before, you've probably gotten the picture that I lead a busy life. I see patients, write books, take … [Read more...] about The Cheater’s Guide to Real Food
Am I Green Enough? Confessions Of A Modern Eco-Conscious Girl
Eco-conscious living isn't just for tie-dye wearing, patchouli-burning, vegan-eating hippies. These days, "green living" has gone mainstream trendy. While the upscale eco-friendly folks and the dirt-loving tree huggers all have some smart ideas, I find the real life practice of green living to be sometimes easy, sometimes challenging, and sometimes down-right confusing. Is recycling actually good for the … [Read more...] about Am I Green Enough? Confessions Of A Modern Eco-Conscious Girl
