Without question, leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are some of the most health-giving foods on the planet. So it’s a no-brainer that we should load up on as many as we can, right? Even if we have Hashimoto’s? A resounding “yes.”
Lately, I’ve received several inquiries about the status of my Thyroid health cookbook and why my newsletters have seemingly fallen off the face of the earth. Both good questions that deserve a thorough answer! I’d love to share some detail, if you’d like to hear my story.
Tomorrow is another summertime play day, so here’s the Roundup for this week.
“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you set up a life you don’t need to escape from.” – Seth Godin
“Soy is not a magic pill or poison; it is simply a bean.” – Dr. Joel Fuhrman
Long touted as a sinful indulgence, a guilty pleasure, and a nutritional taboo, chocolate has gotten a bad rap. But the evidence is in and if you haven’t heard, dark chocolate has many health benefits.
I’ve been at my friend Paul’s idyllic farm today, picking strawberries in the breezy heat. Before I eat bunch of them, I thought I better post this week’s Roundup. It’s short and sweet. Kind of like some of my strawberries. (Next week, I’m going back for red raspberries and the week after, black raspberries. July = berry bonanza.)
“What masquerades as a health care system is actually a large industry that thrives fiscally on illness. Disease diagnosis and treatment are the ‘bread and butter’ of the current medical system.” – Dr. Aviva Romm
Here’s our hefty Roundup from the last two weeks. Don’t forget our new “For Parents” (and parents-to-be) resources at the end of all of our Roundups.
“Twenty six second is all it takes for the chemicals in your personal care products to enter your blood stream. What’s in your products?” – Dr. Frank Lipman
“‘I’m shocked,’ said no one, ever. New fast-food study reveals what we already knew.” – from the article, Subway Just as Unhealthy as McDonald’s
The Roundup has a new add-on: holistic parenting. Even before I became a new mom, a lot of my clients who are parents of small children, were/are pregnant, or were/are seeking pregnancy asked me for resources on holistic parenting. And now that I AM a mom, people are asking me for all kinds of advice. I’m not an expert, folks! I’m learning as I go, but I’d love to share with you some of the resources that I’m finding helpful, along with the herd of regular Roundup links and quotes that we gather throughout the week.
Here are some highlights from our week. Have a great weekend …
“We have a long way to go until your local MD can understand and manage complex chronic cases. In the meantime, empower yourself with information and by doing what you can to take charge of your own health. The biggest influence on the standard health care model will ultimately be you, the patient.” – Dr. Datis Kharrazian
“Tossing your egg yolks in the trash is kind of like buying a multivitamin, stripping the vitamins from it and then tossing them into the trash.” – Todd Dosenberry
I’m headed out of town again this weekend, so here is the roundup, a day early. Instead of a few days late. :)
“One source of joy for people who fully participate in life is others’ good fortune.” – from the Experience Life article, Show Up!, written by my good friend Cat Thompson
I went out of town unexpectly last week and didn’t get ‘round to rounding up the roundup. Here’s the latest edition of what got us jazzed. Enjoy.
“Tofu and green smoothies are not the answer to good health!” – Emily Bartlett
“There’s a big difference between not settling and not starting.” – Seth Godin
