Struggling to find the root cause of your health issue? Maybe you’ve heard the term leaky gut, but you don’t know how it could possibly relate to your chronic fatigue and eczema. I’ll explain why your symptom could be leaky gut and what you can do about it.   Leaky gut is the coined term […]

Remember back in college when you used to be able to stay out all night having fun with friends and then wake up early and make it to your 8 am class, no worse for the wear? Or, when you used to be able to watch your favorite Netflix shows without falling asleep midway through?

Attending a Thursday happy hour with coworkers and downing a few glasses of chardonnay. Toasting your best friend’s engagement with some champagne. Putting on your sweats and cracking open a cider-beer to binge watch GOT.   Sometimes you get lucky and you’ll wake up feeling just fine after having a few drinks. Other times, you’ll

What do you do when anxiety takes over? What do you reach for? How well does it work? The key to quelling a panic attack may not be what you think. A new study links anxiety to vitamin deficiency.   Could this pertain to your own anxious spells? Well, let’s talk about a time that

You could be doing all the things for your health: organic produce, daily exercise, positive affirmations in the mirror every morning, all the things. You might have forgotten one major thing, though… The air. Air can be toxic, even in a home.   Picture this…   You’re walking through a busy city, like San Francisco

It’s literally one of the worst feelings. If you have experienced a urinary tract infection before, you’ll know what I’m talking about: feeling like you gotta go and then not being able to, or maybe even having pain when you urinate, and then noticing the telltale changes in the color or smell of your urine.

When life hits the fan, I call in superpower backup. This adaptogen is my favorite to beat stress and adrenal fatigue, hands down.   It’s the one remedy for stress that I swear by.

Sometimes the hardest part about improving your health is just knowing where to start. Sure, you could revamp your whole life and start waking up earlier to go to the gym, drinking the recommended amount of water each day, trade in burgers and fries for grilled salmon salads, and start downing kale smoothies for good

Ladies, I’m ending the chocolate-loving shame right here and now. The truth is, chocolate isn’t unhealthy. Well, more specifically, cacao isn’t unhealthy. The sugars and fillers mixed with it in most chocolate bars are unhealthy.   If you’re a chocolate fiend, this post will give you a checklist of “I told you so” facts for

One of the biggest benefits of travel is that it gets you out of your comfort zone.   You get to experience new people, different scenery, and often new foods as well. However, when you’re on a restrictive diet, travel can present a unique challenge. Away from home, you will often depend on the food

Define perfect. Seriously, pause, take a breath, and define the word perfect. Then notice what you are referencing in your definition – is it something about you and what you wish you had?   Be honest… Are you describing something that is possible?   If you define the word perfect in relation to your physical

Sleep. It’s funny to think about that part of our 24-hour day where we aren’t actually doing anything as one of the most important ingredients in rebuilding and maintaining health.   I cannot emphasize this enough: Without adequate sleep, our bodies cannot function properly and any effort we make to eat healthfully or exercise is

Have you been looking for practical solutions to address your sugar cravings? If so, you are not alone! Sheer willpower often doesn’t cut it. What we really need is real-life, actionable strategies to help us stick to our wellness goals. This week, I asked Registered Dietitian Maria Zamarripa, MS, RD to share her whole-body, functional

\You’ve heard it before: Health starts in the gut. Sure, you know the rhetoric, but what does that look like in action? What does that mean for you and your daily life? How can you boost the well-being of your gut every time you eat and achieve the level of overall health you desire? For

Kombucha is more than just a health-food trend or an overpriced beverage for hipsters. It’s a traditional fermented tea that offers numerous nutrition benefits including probiotics, powerful plant polyphenols, and antioxidants. In addition to being a bit pricey, commercial brands are often over-sweetened with sugars or juices, diluting the amount of actual kombucha per bottle.

As a Nutritionist, I get asked this question all the time, “What’s the deal with soy? Should I eat it? Will it wreck my health?”. I can tell that it’s a troubling topic for many of my clients who are conflicted by differing dietary recommendations, inflammatory news headlines, and personal testimonies of those they are

It’s so common to eat our biggest meal as dinner, followed by dessert (or even a night-cap) that we might not consider the negative impact these habits have on our sleep. As a population, our sleep quality is severely diminished and many of us aren’t getting the kind of rest that our body needs. Lack

I’ve heard it too many times to count: “I want to follow a healthy diet, but I hate the way healthy food tastes.” Many people shudder when trying to eat their vegetables, have a deep disdain for homemade meals, and can barely force themselves to look at a salad that isn’t drenched in dressing. If

As a Functional Medicine Nutritionist, I understand that it’s important to support clients in implementing diet and lifestyle changes.
