I love RxBars and often recommend them to my naturopathic patients as an on-the-go breakfast or a smart snack. But I thought I could tweak them just a bit to make a good for your skin treat too.

You can’t escape it! Everywhere you go lately, you are bombarded with ads and products for the ketogenic diet aka Keto. There is a large body of evidence supporting the use of the keto diet for diabetes, migraines, seizures, and cancer.

Recently I put myself on my own personal dairy-free challenge. This is far from the first for this naturopath but I think I’m going dairy-free for good! Why am I doing this to myself you might wonder?

Because many of my patients wouldn’t dream of starting day without a warm bowl of oatmeal, I created this recipe which is higher in protein and completely grain-free. It is easy to prepare and is just as tasty as the original.

For many years, I had been helping women at my naturopathic practice rid themselves of urinary tract infections naturally. It was a mystery to me was why these women were so desperate to stop getting UTIs. How bad could a UTI be?

Many women come to me because they aren’t getting their period. Often they have just come off hormonal birth control or have had a long history of erratic and absent cycles. In my New York City naturopathic practice, the goal is not to get these women to “bleed” but to ovulate.

“You want me to give up pasta?” is probably one of the first responses I get when my patients get the news that they will be going gluten-free. For my celiac, Hashimoto’s and the majority of my eczema and acne patients, the answer is both yes and no. Yes goodbye to regular wheat pasta but hello to the abundance of pasta alternatives.

This noodle soup is high in protein and low in carbs thank to the magic of shirataki noodles. If you are vegan or vegetarian, you can substitute the cod with tofu or leave it out completely for a lighter starter.

Perhaps you thought acne would be something you would be to leave behind in high school like your senior physics class or braces.  Unfortunately hormonal acne, which normally appears along the chin, jawline and cheek, can persist into early adult hood and even emerge during menopause.

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to share some startling statistics with the women of Kathy Gelfand’s Empowered Lunch Hour. Believe it 1 out of 8 women will develop a thyroid condition in their lifetime and women are 3-5 times more likely to suffer from thyroid problems than men.

A few weeks ago, I met with dentist Dr Nadia Rodriguez, DMD of No Limits Dental at her beautiful office in Midtown Manhattan. During our conversation, we turned to the subject of pharmaceutical drugs and their impact on teeth and general oral health. 

This Tuesday I had the honor of being invited by Dr. David Kulak, M.D., the director of the Gamete Donation Program and the Reproductive Technology program at Genesis Fertility to present on nutrition and fertility to the rest of his medical team. Here are a few highlights from my talk.

These tasty banana pancakes are perfectly balance for women following a seed cycling protocol to help manage their periods and fertility natural. Don’t worry men you can enjoy them too!

Your kid’s Halloween candy might seem like pure child’s play in comparison to the marathon of holiday eating we are entering now till New Years. If you are someone who has finally conquered the scale and surrendered that last 5-10 lbs of weight loss, Thanksgiving can truly be a nightmare.

Is this you?  A young woman, who I have been seeing over the years for PCOS, came in struggling with terrible acid reflux.   She had never had it before and it was even keeping her up at night. 

Halloween can present a scary challenge for parents who struggle with getting children to eat health.  As a naturopath, I have seen many children with ADD/AHDH, acne, allergies and eczema come through the doors of my New York City office greatly improve by avoiding sugar laced treats. 

These tasty treats can even fool the pickiest of palates. They are both sugar and grain free so making them legal on most diets.

Buckwheat or sarrazin crepes originated from Bretagne. I enjoyed quite a few this summer when I stayed in Nantes. Paired with the pepperiness of the watercress, this gluten- free dish is simply magnifique!
