How to Let Go of Anger and Forgive

At the recent Hay House I Can Do It event in Pasadena, I took the audience through a meditation that Louise Hay wrote called “Accepting My Physical Perfection.”

There is one line in the meditation that says:

I forgive everyone and everything I have forgotten to forgive.

This part is always striking to me because when we’ve been holding onto something with fear, anger and upset, there is nothing like the relief that comes from forgiveness.

Easy Grain Free Breakfast Ideas & Recipes

Recently, a client came to me with a challenge — and oh how I love food as medicine challenges! She wanted fast, easy grain free breakfast ideas that were also gluten free and honored her desire for a slightly sweet taste at breakfast.

When I was first changing my diet, I learned to eat vegetables for breakfast, but this is not for everyone, especially when first transitioning to changing your diet. So I also had a challenge of not going whole hog on adding vegetable meals to her breakfast rou...

Vegetarian or Vegan Meat Substitutes – Craving or Physical Need?

Today, I was listening to a show on vegetarianism on The Splendid Table (NPR), a radio show for people “who love to eat.” A food expert and vegetarian was talking about veganmeat substitutes. When asked why vegetarians would want meat substitutes, he said he thought it was to allow them to go in baby steps to move toward a plant-based diet.

Baby Steps

This gave me pause. Over the past 10 years, I have learned to listen deeply to my body and feed it what it needs. I’ve learned that once I listen...

Bone Broth Benefits – Is It Important to Skim?

About 15 years ago, when I was recovering from depression, bulimia and related health complications, my healing practitioner suggested I start using vegetable broth as an easily digestible source of vitamins and minerals. She gave me a recipe that was so simple — I had no idea that making soup or broth could be that easy.

This became one of the key healing protocols I used to bounce back to great health.

Heal and seal…as Natasha says

As the years progressed, I had to basically rebuild my entire...

Easy Chocolate Fudge Recipe With A Twist

One day, I was making my easy chocolate fudge recipe and decided to modify the ingredients a bit. Well, this became a big hit with everyone who tried it and with all those recipe requests, I decided to document it so that all of our taste buds would benefit! This recipe is still very easy, travels well and freezes well.

I like to add spices to all of my desserts because in addition to being high in antioxidants, they can help balance your gut environment and reduce or eliminate cravings — leav...

Symptoms of B12 Deficiency

Key Nutrients Missing In Many People’s Diets Today

While all nutrients are important, there are some that stand out because of the sheer number of systems they support in the body. One of these is vitamin B12 (also called cobolamin). B12 gets its master key status from researchers because it plays a functional role in a long, growing list of organ systems and can be used to correct problems caused by other issues, even if a person’s B12 levels are adequate.

Vitamin B12 – particularly in it’...

Symptoms of Magnesium Deficiency

How to Get Tested...

I like to think of magnesium as the master key mineral. Depending on which studies you read, magnesium is responsible for between 300 – 800 enzyme driven processes in the body.

Examples are:


Activating muscles and nerves
Creating energy in your body
Helping digest proteins, carbohydrates, and fats
Serving as a building block for RNA and DNA synthesis
It’s also a precursor for chemical messengers like serotonin, which is the happiness and self-esteem hormone.

According to Dr. Caro...

Methylation and Testing

How to Get Tested...

According to Dr. Mark Hyman, methylation is a biochemical process that occurs billions of times every second, affects just about every system in the human body and is essential for health and longevity. Methylation affects your digestion, nervous system, hormones, moods, energy and more. Some doctors, Naturopaths and researchers are starting to study our genes and how they affect our methylation.

You may have issues with methylation if you have the following symptoms:
