Getting off the Roller coaster of Emotional Eating
Getting off the Roller coaster of Emotional Eating

With spending so many hours inside, it can be so easy to seek comfort in food. Especially when some of us have enormous stock piles of tasty snacks and quick shelf stable carbohydrates like cereal, pasta and rice. Perhaps emotional eating is a new phenomena or we’ve struggled over the years with binge eating.

Staying Healthy and Sane When You're Stuck at Home

For some of us spending all day at home is a dream come true, but for the overwhelming remainder it is literally our worse nightmare (this naturopath included). As a New Yorker I am blessed with an abundance of things to do outside of my tiny box called an apartment.

Let's Get You Ovulating

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.

Better Gluten-free Pasta without Brown Rice
Better Gluten-free Pasta without Brown Rice

“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.
