• Testimonials:
    "I had a great time at your tour of Graves. All the information you have given me so far has helped a great deal. Especially the idea of transitional foods. That takes away the anxiety of trying to quit certain things cold turkey. I find it much more fun and interesting to introduce new foods one at a time. I am able to really focus on it and create a sort of celebration around that introduction. And the reminder to listen to my body on a deeper level than I have been...to really be true to what works and what doesn't for my body (and mind) without applying the societal norms of what equals a balanced diet. In short, thank you so much! You are fabulous at what you do and the environment you create for your clients in which to learn. I am so grateful for that."

Posted on February 8th, 2007

In September 2006, Hannafords grocery stores implemented an independent rating system of the nutritional content of the more than 27,000 food items on their shelves. I’m impressed. With confusing dietary advice flying around everywhere, it’s hard to know what to believe. I recently had a couple tell me that for years they thought that eating [...]

Celiac Disease. Ever heard of it? It’s amazing how many people haven’t. It’s a genetically passed on disease that makes gluten indigestible to about one in 125 Americans.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

Posted on February 5th, 2007

Are you about to lose it with winter? The snow is beautiful, of course, but for one out of every 10 of us, we’d trade an arm or leg for a ticket down to the tropics. For that 10%, the moodiness isn’t a temporary bane, it’s a seasonal chemical imbalance.
One study found that only 2% [...]
