You know that urge when you really want the bite of fizz on the back of the tongue but every single fizzy drink on the market is loaded with chemicals, artificial flavors, neurotoxic sweeteners and sugar.
I used to love the first sip if a freshly opened Coke! I liked the way it bit into the throat and feel of the effervescence in my mouth. I thought I would be able to stop at just one sip, but no, I wanted more and more until the entire syrupy chemical concoction was gone.
I still love that occasional bite! Here is my recipe for a delightful detox treat that I can whip up in less than 5 minutes.
There is just something yummy and cheerful about a cup of hot cocoa on a cold winter day!

It is estimated that 25 million working days are lost due to headaches, particularly migraine.
I suffered..scratch that, I was actually I was debilitated by them, for over 6 years!
It was a vicious cycle…
migraine, meds, recover from meds, 1 maybe 2 good days of bright hope, then it started all over again.
It took a lot of work, a thorough detox, and years of living a daily detox lifestyle to enjoy the health I have today. Seldom do I get a migraine. When I do, most of the time, I can nip it in the bud naturally.
Here is one natural and delicious way of staying in the game without the nasty side effects…by the way, this is also great for those times when you have overindulged…
The other day at the yoga studio we were talking about cooking for the holidays. One of my students was telling me about a new recipe she was going to try. I asked her to let me know how she liked them.

“Good broth will resurrect the dead”…
In my quest for optimal health and vibrant radiance I learned about traditional healing foods. I kept hearing about ‘bone stock’.
Frankly, because it sounded like work I wasn’t truly intrigued until…friends took me to a Neiman Marcus restaurant. [Read more…]
Did you have strange aversions to foods when you were a kid?
I sure did, weird ones.
Take Squash for instance…
I didn’t like it simply because of the name. Seriously, my kid brain reasoned, “you squash bugs, so why would you eat something called squash? eeeewwww, gross!”
My mother would coat it and fry it, but it seemed mushy and slimy in my mouth.
Then in my 30’s someone brought a squash casserole to a potluck. My brain instantly thought…“squashed bugs with cheese. YUCK!“
Honestly, it wasn’t until I began training as a health coach and enrolled at the Institute of Integrated Nutrition that I decided to be more adventurous to give it another shot.
Boy, oh boy! Was I in for a sweet surprise…Bonus, you can use this 1 recipe 2 ways! [Read more…]
