Wild salmon offers many health benefits including omega 3 rich fats healthy for the heart and body. It provides protein rich with amino acids good for mental health.
One of my favorite fool proof recipes is baked salmon seasoned with organic butter, sea salt, black pepper, thyme and lots of basil. I make this weekly due to its simplicity, health benefits and delicious taste. It goes well with a variety of side dishes including soups, salads, vegetables and pasta. Continue reading
For centuries, cows and chickens were raised outdoors on pasture, enjoying sunshine, clean air and their natural diet of grass and insects. These animals were healthy, enjoying the outdoors. Humans who ate their meat benefited from a nutrient-dense food high in healthy fats, proteins and vitamins. Continue reading
This is one of my favorite smoothie recipes. I make it frequently when I am in a hurry and take it to go for breakfast, eating in the car. I know it is better to enjoy and eat food slowly, but when in a rush this smoothie provides nutritious fats, protein and vitamins to start my day. It can easily be eaten as a snack or for a healthy lunch, as well. Continue reading
The cholesterol debate is one of the most highly divisive issues separating the practices of holistic and conventional medicine. The vast majority of conventional physicians, now following the new American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines, continue to routinely recommend dangerous statin drugs based on total and LDL cholesterol numbers, along with other guidelines. In stark contrast, holistically trained physicians do not prescribe statins and instead look at individual cholesterol numbers and inflammatory markers, ignored by most allopathic physicians.
This recipe is gluten free and uses sheep cheese instead of cow’s cheese, for those sensitive to cow’s dairy. I found the cheese at Whole Foods and used Tinkyada lasagna noodles. I have tried several vegetarian lasagna recipes over the years, but this is our family’s favorite and by far the easiest one to make. If cow’s dairy is not a problem, parmesan cheese can be used instead of the Manchego cheese and Mozzarella cheese for the topping. It is delicious and can be doubled to serve a larger group (using standard size lasagna pan). I have served it at Super Bowl parties in the past and it was well received. Serves 4-6. Continue reading
A young high school student experienced debilitating symptoms of stomach pain, weight loss, inflammation, fatigue and anemia. A young man experienced a persistent cough and repeated upper respiratory infections. A college freshman struggled with fatigue, bloating and dizziness. A practicing nurse suffered from debilitating rheumatoid arthritis. A college student struggled with symptoms mirroring an unusual autoimmune disorder. Their symptoms were all quite different, but these individuals shared one thing in common. Each had a hidden cavitation infection in the jaw bone area of the molar or wisdom teeth. Continue reading
My one daughter is temporarily on a gluten free, dairy free, egg free diet, so we have been experimenting with recipes. We tried these recently and they were a huge success. Only thing we would change is to add more blueberries next time. Bake and enjoy if you like blueberries. We tried to use the best possible ingredients. (With no dietary restrictions, use organic whole milk, pastured butter and one pastured egg instead of applesauce; also with a wheat flour, there is no need for xanthun gum). Yield: 12 muffins.

The conventional wisdom recommending individuals decrease calories, increase exercise and then wait for the pounds to fall off is incorrect. A calorie is not a calorie. When one eats sugar or carbohydrates that quickly convert to sugar, fat is produced in the body. In contrast, if one eats healthy fats, the body feels more satiated and the fat eaten converts to energy. While reducing calories matters, the type of calories eaten is an important variable.

It is impossible to avoid challenges and adversities in life. Whether it be a health crisis, job loss, death of a loved one, break up or other difficulty, we all must face and confront losses. By using the following guide, difficulties can be faced with greater ease. Stress is associated with several diseases, so reducing stress is important to health.
Butter, the long-demonized fat, has made a resurgence. With the recent recognition that trans fats are unhealthy, educated consumers are using more of this traditional fat. Butter, particularly pastured, organic butter, is high in many essential nutrients. Contrary to popular belief, the saturated fats in butter do not contribute to heart disease. Butter offers protective powers against several illnesses. Sweden, in fact, recently changed their country’s health guidelines to include more healthy saturated fats and less processed carbohydrates.
