This week my kid is out paddle boarding for 5-6 hours every day at camp.

He's ravenous at lunch, and coming home famished.

I've been making some gut-loving buns for his burgers & sandwiches, and to eat with our fav Miyoko's fermented cashew butter.  (Scroll down for more pics & to get the recipe!)

Why?  

Calm & happy neurotransmitters are made by the fiber-loving microbes in your gut!

So I'm pumping up the "good" gut bugs (and crowding out the "bad").

3 ways to help your liver today 🤩

You can support your liver easily & deliciously!

1.  Bitters are a simple & powerful natural health booster!

Bitter flavors naturally:

• jump-start digestion

• open drainage pathways

• help your liver place toxins in bile & excrete that bile into the intestines for elimination 

Try a bitter herb salad, like radiccio & arugula leaves dressed with vinegar & olive oil, and maybe topped with some nuts, seeds, sauerkraut, pickled onio…

I know it's possible for you, because...

A few years ago, my son and I were both very sick.  

I experienced debilitating fatigue, short-term memory loss…

Want to give your child their best school year yet?

Here's what you need to know:

If your kid isn't pooping a quick, easy, complete soft banana or sausage at least 1x a day - they're constipated.

That means toxic garbage is piling up in their gut.

Infections, chemicals, hormones, physical damage...

It can trash every system in their body.

• Behavior, learning & focus issues

• Anxiety, depression, opposition & sleep problems

• Histamine intolerance, food reactions & …

Before school starts, my son & I are enjoying our last summer days together and a neighborhood dripping with fruit.

I have a kitchen full of apples, grapes, plums, blackberries, and even persimmons!

The dehydrator's humming.

My saucepans are cooking.

I've been doing some research on pectin for constipation relief, and WOW!

Pectin is plentiful in skins of apple, pear, persimmon and especially citrus.

Natural pectin feeds the beneficial gut bugs that heal, nourish and protect…

I love going into the mountains!

No screens.

No stuff.

Just hiking, hanging out, feeling tired & strong, being in nature.

I love hearing what my son is thinking.  What he notices.  What he's figuring out.

On a long slog up a mountain, sometimes we talk, sometimes we sing (and make up funny songs!).

A lot of the time we're quiet.

It's so rare to have quiet thinking time with nothing but nature around.

This is more than important - it’s what human health is built on.

While I love the benefits of dirt for our gut microbiome, I prioritize a clean oral microbiome... even on adventures!

My absolute favorite dental care, whether at home or on the road, is Wellness!

We've been on some awesome front-country camping trips - fun families, festivals, good stuff!

And that means different foods, long drives, and often... less convenient ways to get clean.

Your mouth is the gateway to your gut!  And body!

SO keeping your oral microbiome clean & hap…
