Dr. Alethea Fleming, ND We all know that eating more fruits and vegetables is a good idea, but one thing that is often overlooked is the importance of variety. One large study in 20101 stated that variety more than quantity might be the key point when it comes to eating more produce. Of course, you […]
Publisher Razi Berry For those of us that eat clean, it is a way of life. Social media may poke fun, portraying us crying over our salad. But we know better. We know that when we eat good, we feel good, and when we eat great, we feel great! We understand that real, healthy
Razi Berry Healthy desserts are the best, because they are indulgent, delicious and you feel 100% good about eating them. I imagine all desserts fell into this category at one time, long ago, before foods became processed (think white sugar) or adulterated (chemical colorings and flavors) or treated with solvents and pesticides (think wheat).

Dr. Michelle Cali, ND I hear you. Making healthy choices all the time is hard. But it is OKAY to crave, indulge and enjoy sweet treats.

It also makes little moments such as visiting with a friend, listening to a favorite
Publisher Razi Berry I always hated beets, probably because my first experience with them came from a can. My second experience was at a restaurant, and the beets were rubbery, undercooked and cold. I never would have given them a third thought, had not my naturopathic doctor who was treating me for fibromyalgia and chemical
Dr. Meera Dossa, ND No morning in my household ever begins without a nutrient dense Power Punch Smoothie! I pack in as much nutrition as is humanly possible, to make sure that and my big guy (my husband) and I fill up our nutritional tanks with an energy reservoir for the day. On one of
Publisher Razi Berry My little one will eat almost any vegetable–as long as it is cooked. If it’s roasted, sautéed, or steamed, with olive oil or butter and sea salt, she’ll eat it. If it’s in a soup, no problem! But raw vegetables are a different story. Her older sister will eat any vegetable raw,
Dr. Michelle Cali, ND Growing up, one sure way to get me to eat salad was if it was Caesar! It seems to be a favourite among non-salad eaters because of its creamy dressing, salty cheese topped with bacon and croutons. Who can tell there is lettuce under there? It is also known from a
