Healing Herbs for Summer
I start every day with a healing herbal tea. I rarely use t-bags; I use dried herbs and make up my tea blend depending on what I need for the day ahead, what season we are in, where I am in my cycle and what the weather is doing. Herbs that I use if I […]
From the pits of hell, to feeling well… World IBD Awareness Day 2024

A year from now you will wish you started today
If only I had (enter whatever habit you are procrastinating on here) last year… I would be so much further ahead… I feel conflicted writing that first sentence because I believe everything happens at the right time, and we need to be in enough pain to push us in another direction… BUT… most of us […]
Boom and bust energy cycles. The difference between fatigue and lethargy
I hope this email finds you well. I recently did a podcast episode talking about energy, being in a cycle of boom and bust and understanding the difference between fatigue and lethargy and how to heal from each.

Gut friendly Kitchari (Lentil Dahl)
Happy Saturday Kitchari is something I was introduced to when I started studying Ayurveda (the healing sister science of Yoga). In Ayurveda, this meal is used to detox, reset, and heal the gut – and you know how that is a big focus for me these days. This recipe is really easy, I drop it all […]
