Your all-access guide to lettuce and why you should eat it and clean it!

The Battle of the Lettuce

• Contains LESS sugar and sodium

Every year, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) releases its list of the most pesticide-laden produce items calls the Dirty Dozen.

And every year, it creates a media tidal wave of coverage. It shows up everywhere, and seemingly sets off a storm of fear in the hearts of every fruit and veggie lover, banishing the thought of ever eating a non-organic plant.

They even suggest washing with just water.  The question begs, is there really nothing we can do about these harmful pesticides more effective than just rinsing with water – which is highly ineffective with hydrophobic fruits and veggies? Thankfully, yes.

These third-party lab studies proved that if you wash your produce properly with Eat Cleaner Triple Action Fruit & Vegetable Wash, you can get rid of over 99% of the “toxic” and “cancer-causing” agents. The truth is, water alone cannot effectively remove oil-based pesticides. You need something that can chelate non-water soluble...

There’s never been a time where we’ve felt so vulnerable – at least not in my lifetime. Owning our health is more important than ever and seeking out the knowledge and wisdom and science we have available is our inherent responsibility. With the unprecedented pandemic and the daily stresses associated to adapting to it, our systems may have never been so challenged. Our nervous system, endocrine system, digestive system, lymphatic system, adrenal system AND our immune system and every other part of our body needs support, and it all begins with food.

Food is the fuel to not only give us the life force we need for energy and vitality, but it also helps us manage stress, helps us rest and sleep, helps us balance our hormones, and helps us armor up our immunity. When there’s a crisis in one of our systems, the ‘machine’ becomes at risk of breaking down.

That’s why in this post, we’re focusing on the microbiome aka the ‘gut.’...

Baked Zucchini Fries with Greek Yogurt Dipping Sauce

We know breakfast helps to set the tone for how successful your day will be but how the heck do we really make it healthier?  Here are 10 easy tips to take to the bank when it comes to setting yourself up for a better morning.

1. Avoid your triggers: The reality is that you crave what you eat, so as you make healthier choices, your old cravings will weaken. So if you are in the habit of going out for donuts, guess what? You’re going to eat the donuts!  Time to change the habit and retrain your tastebuds, which I talk about in-depth in my book “Eat Like You Give a Fork: The Real Dish on Eating to Thrive.”

2. Balance your blood sugar: Research studies indicate that low blood sugar levels are associated with lower overall blood flow to the brain, which can jeopardize your ability to make good decisions. To keep your blood sugar stable, eat a nutritious breakfast with protein and fat such as eggs, protein shakes, avocado, or nut butter. Plan to...
