6 Tips for Avoiding Seasonal Depression

Fall is a wonderful time of year. The leaves are changing, apples are in season, and we get to break out the pea coats and scarves! However, with this fantastic season comes the not so fantastic and very dramatic weather change. In the Pacific Northwest where I live, that means shorter days, a lot less sunshine, and days upon days of rainy weather! The clocks are rolling back this weekend, so instead of throwing in the towel and hibernating for winter, I will be using these simple tricks to beat the cold weather blues and start looking on the bright side. They could help you do the same!  Invest in good lighting A big part of what makes the changing seasons so hard is losing that precious hour of light at the end of the day. It’s really hard to leave work in the dark and it makes finding the motivation to get anything done at home impossible. This is where good lighting comes in to save the day! Bright and inviting lights in the common areas of your home like the kitchen or living

10 of NYC’s Best Healthy Restaurants

Cooking is one of my favorite hobbies.  There’s something so cathartic about being in the kitchen simmering, sautéing, and pureeing and then sharing your meal with loved ones.  However, life doesn’t always allow for the time it takes to create a great meal. With so little free time at home lately, I’ve found myself eating out more as a way to be social or looking for a quick bite on the way to my next activity. Beyond the halal stands and Sabrett’s hot dog carts of NYC, there are a lot of healthy options.  Sometimes it’s hard to bypass the charming bakeries without making a pit stop, but more often than not, I choose to keep walking in search of a healthier choice. Not only are there plenty of healthy options, but they’re also delicious. Whether you’re looking for a dinner out or quick meal on-the-go, here are some of NYC’s best healthy offerings.

A Surprisingly Simple Stress-Busting Technique [Video]

For months I’d been praying for a book that would keep me up at night. You know what I mean: the kind of book you just can’t bear to put down. One afternoon I opened my mailbox to find a package—it was an advance copy of my dear friend Nick Ortner’s new book, The Tapping Solution. For several years Nick has led a tapping revolution. Tapping, otherwise known as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), is a psychological acupressure technique that supports your emotional health. By tapping on specific energy meridians on your body, you can unblock ancient fears, limiting beliefs and negative patterns. When stimulated, your body’s energy meridians can trigger the amygdala (a.k.a. the “fight or flight” part of brain) and signal it to calm down. When the amygdala gets the memo that it’s safe to relax, stress is immediately reduced. I’ve found tapping to be one of the best ways to bust through blocks in an instant. Now I’m taking my tapping to the next level! In reading Nick

Full Fat Versus Low-Fat Dairy: Which is Healthier?

No other topic is more highly debated in the nutrition world than dairy. Some say it should be avoided at all costs, while others encourage the regular consumption of full fat dairy. So what should you do? Eliminate dairy from your diet? Choose only low-fat dairy options, or stick with the full fat dairy options? If you’re following the dietary recommendations of the FDA, it’s simple. Dairy should be a big part of your diet – almost 1/5, in fact, according to My Plate. However, they recommend limiting your dairy intake to low-fat options like 1% milk and reduced fat cheese to discourage the consumption of saturated fat and excess calories. Yet many health conscious people question the FDA’s approach to dairy, and two major oppositions began to form: those who believe that dairy is for calves and calves alone, and those that believe that full-fat, or even better, raw dairy, should be consumed regularly. Putting the FDA’s recommendations aside momentarily, which side of the da

7 Healthy Mom Tips to Beat the Halloween Candy Blues

If you’re a health-conscious mama, then Halloween probably makes you nervous. It’s not like you want to deprive your children of the joy of this sweet and spooky holiday, but you want to protect them from overindulging in processed sugar, mysterious additives, and carcinogenic food coloring! If only this special day was centered around eating copious amounts of vegetables and drinking green juice, you’d be all about it, but sadly, it is not. So before you lock up your children and turn them into social outcasts (not to mention create a negative association with cravings), give these ideas a try first: Establish healthy habits early If your kids are used to apples and bananas being their main source of sweet foods, then their palette will naturally be more sensitive than of those who eat processed candy regularly. Giving kids a healthy start by having wholesome and nourishing foods as part of their regular diet will not only ease the effort of protecting them on Halloween; it’l

The Secret to What Every Woman Wants

Many years ago a childhood friend of mine, due to a gambling addiction, got into a difficult situation involving some very significant debts. One day he shared with me that the organized crime group involved had threatened to break every bone in his body or worse if he did not pay up. He said when he told them he had no funds available and asked if he could repay the debt in some other way he was told that if he married the crime lord’s daughter they would let him off. He said the offer was made because she was an ugly witch you could smell a mile away. The problem was that, unbeknownst to the underworld characters involved, my friend was already married. He said he felt there was no hope for him and his addiction would cost him his life. At this point I volunteered to marry the witch and save him. He argued but I persisted and to make a long story short the marriage was arranged and a few weeks later the witch and I were wed at a big blast in a well known New York Hotel. I did the

A Healthy Halloween Appetizer: Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Did you carve a jack-o’-lantern this weekend? If you did, then chances are you have a handful or two of fresh pumpkin seeds sitting on your kitchen counter. Instead of throwing them away, roast them for a Halloween treat that is just as healthy as it is delicious. Pumpkins seeds are a terrific source of vitamins and minerals that your body needs. They are very high in magnesium and zinc, which will help to keep your digestion tract functioning well and improve your skin, hair and nails. Zinc is also linked to improved sleep patterns and immune system health – perfect for this time of year!  The best part about this healthy snack is that even your kids will love them. After they helped you scoop out the seeds and carve the pumpkin, eating the roasted seeds is a fun reward for all of their hard work!

10 Signs You May be a Workaholic (And How You Can Stop!)

In our society, being a workaholic seems to almost be encouraged. So many people log hours and hours at the office, neglecting their personal lives for the betterment of their careers and company. Getting out of the office once and a while to focus on your personal life could do wonders for your mental and physical health. If any of these signs sound like you, then you may be in need of a work intervention!  1.    You are the first to come in, the last to leave, and you never take a lunch break. If you are always turning on the office lights in the morning, and shutting them off at night, chances are you are working a bit too much – certainly more than anyone else at your office! If you are a morning person, then come into the office early, but try to leave on time and vice versa if you work better in the evening. As for lunch, take your coworkers up on their office to join them in the cafeteria a few times a week.  2.    You are glued to your cell phone 24/7. Even when you

6 Trail Mixes to Keep You Energized Throughout the Day

If there is one thing I love, it’s a good snack – a little pick-me-up to satisfy my hunger and my taste buds, as well as my nutritional needs. For me, the ultimate snack is trail mix. Traditionally found in the backpacks of hikers on epic adventures, trail mix is always stashed in my purse, desk drawer, and kitchen cabinets. Why? Because this easy and versatile snack offers the perfect blend of energy and nutrients to get me through the day! Although there are no rules when it comes to trail mix, a good mix usually begins with nuts and seeds which provide healthy fats and protein. You can then add ingredients such as dried fruits, superfoods, granola, and sometimes even a little chocolate to deliver additional antioxidants, fiber, and nutrients. These days there are tons of tempting trail mixes on the market, but I’ve found that it’s actually more fun and cost-efficient to create my own. Check out a few of my favorite mixes that cover all dietary needs and personal preference

Deceiving People Into Health

Many years ago one of our children brought home a canvas he had decorated in his school art class. He had filled the entire canvas with the word words. As a surgeon what immediately struck me was that you can kill or cure with a sword, or scalpel. But that you could also kill or cure with words when wordswordswords  become swordswordswords. Physicians are not taught how to communicate with patients and due to their fear of being sued tell people all of the adverse side effects of therapy and never mention the benefits. Every time I hear a TV commercial mentioning how the pill being advertised can kill you I wonder why anyone would try it. I began to realize how important a patient’s beliefs were from my experience and their experience and not their diagnosis. In a sense it is summed up by Dr. Milton Erickson writing in a patient’s chart and then excusing himself and stepping out of the office for a minute. When the patient peeked at the chart she saw, “Doing well” written the

13 Alternative and Healthy Baking Ingredients

As an avid baker and someone who is passionate about nutrition, I am constantly striving to find the best healthy alternatives for my baked goods. Healthy baking doesn’t necessarily need to be gluten-free and vegan. In fact, some gluten-free options have just as much sugar and as many calories as the real deal. The same goes for vegan. When swapping out ingredients for healthier or allergy]-free options, there are four major components of the baked good that need to be considered. White flour alternatives The first is white flour. This is important for people who have gluten allergies or if you are trying to control glycemic load and increase the fiber and nutrient value of a dish. Here are a few white flour swaps that work well.  Black beans – If you are making brownies, try using one cup of pureed black beans (about 15 oz.) instead of one cup of flour. You won’t be able to taste the beans, and they give the brownies a terrific fudgy texture. Whole wheat flour – In most reci

Autumn-Inspired Baby Food Recipes Your Child Will Love

When it comes to fall produce, why should grown-ups have all the fun? Autumn is a time of year when the produce is hearty, sweet, and easy to mash, making it a great opportunity to try your hand at homemade baby food! If your baby is around six months old, it’s OK to start introducing solid foods into their diet. It’s best to start with fruit or vegetable purees to introduce your baby to new flavors and ease him or her into solid food digestion. You could also mix in a mild spice like cinnamon or nutmeg to introduce your baby to new flavors, which will encourage good eating habits as they grow up. If you do choose to add spices, remember not to over-do it and try to just stick to one spice per puree. Making baby food is easy and you don’t need much kitchen equipment – just a knife, peeler, steaming basket, saucepot, and a blender.  To get started, pick one of these autumn produce and spice blends. (Note that all fruit and vegetables should be washed, peeled, cored and roughly

Superfood Showdown: Spinach vs Kale

When it comes to superfoods, spinach and kale are among the top contenders. Both help strengthen the immune system and are packed with powerful antioxidants, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. But when stacked up against each other, which veggie is the queen of the greens? Let’s compare the nutrients of spinach and kale to find out which leafy green comes out on top: Fiber:  Both kale and spinach are rich in fiber and contain 1 gram per serving when consumed raw. However, when cooked, spinach wilts more, delivering more fiber per eaten measure. Adding fiber to your diet improves digestive health and helps control your hunger. Winner: Spinach (when cooked) Calcium: Kale is the clear winner in this category.  One cup of kale contains 9 percent of your daily calcium needs, while one cup on spinach contains 3 percent. Winner: Kale Iron: Although these two greens are very close in iron content, spinach does have a slight edge over kale. One cup of spinach contains 4 percent of the recommen

Eat to Beat the Cold and Flu Season

A cough here, a sniffle there. Cold and flu season is right around the corner. Chances are someone in your office or one of your friends has already been out sick. Think beyond orange juice and chemical cough syrup – think delicious, immunity boosting, clean, green foods that strengthen your immunity, decreasing your chances of getting sick. Dig in and reap the benefits. Try the “C food diet”: Skip the juicy fruit flavored Vitamin C supplements and vegetables. Think carrots, pumpkin and dark leafy greens, like lacinato kale, Swiss chard and Mizuna. Good for the Tummy, Bacteria: Probiotics are chock full of good bacteria that strengthen your immune system. Think of it like extra health insurance for your bod. Go Greek for an extra protein boost when your energy is dragging. Think zinc: Foods like pepitas, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ, sesame, lean beef and even chocolate (!) are rich in zinc, which may reduce the duration of your cold.

5 Ways to Kick an Unhealthy Habit

Nipping unhealthy habits in the bud is much harder than it sounds. If you drink soda, or you don’t get enough sleep, then you know that it’s not just a matter of deciding to change your habits. Baby steps need to be taken to reach your goals and start living a healthier life.  If you’re overeating, then stop counting calories. This seems a bit counterintuitive, I know, but if you are restricting your calorie intake, then you are much more likely to slip and overindulge. Instead, focus on eating whole, real foods and cutting out processed foods as much as possible. It’s also important to cut yourself a break once in a while! If you eat a cupcake at an office party, it certainly doesn’t mean you failed. So instead of eating three more and restarting your diet the next day, just forgive yourself and get back on track. If you are drinking soda, then transition to flavored water. If you are a regular soda drinker, going cold turkey can be just as hard as a smoker doing the same.

Stop Comparing and Start Aspiring When It Comes to Others

It’s easy to fall victim to the comparison game. Your coworker gets a promotion or your friend loses 10 pounds and all you can think about is how you didn’t. The joy you may have for that person is suffocated by the jealousy and pain you may feel that it wasn’t you that achieved those things. Comparing yourself to others is not only detrimental to your self-esteem, but it can be incredibly draining and unhealthy. Instead of wondering why all of the good things happen to everyone else, instead focus on celebrating their accomplishments as something for you to aspire to. Sounds almost impossible to do, right? I used to feel the same way, but trust me, it’s not impossible. In fact, it’s just a matter of looking at the bright side! Define Your Personal Goals and Stick to Them If you’re in the habit of comparing yourself to others, you probably end up doing it in all situations. Take career, for example.

Is Macrobiotics Right For You?

Macrobiotics was first introduced to New York City in the late 1970s by Aveline and Michio Kushi more as a lifestyle choice rather than a fad diet. While it has since lost some popularity, macrobiotics still has a strong following of people who believe in the healing powers of the lifestyle. So what exactly is macrobiotics? The Kushi couple taught a theory rooted in the traditional Japanese and Chinese ways of eating and living, meaning lots of whole grains, beans, vegetables and fish, with an emphasis on spiritual wellness. They believe that without excellent physical health, emotional and spiritual health cannot be achieved. The Yin to Your Yang One of the major components of macrobiotics is the ancient Chinese theory of yin and yang. Essentially this means for all of the yin you have in your life, you need an equal amount of yang to balance it out. Drugs are the most yin substance that you can put in your body, followed progressively by sugar, cheese, fruit, water, nuts, vegetables

My Battle with Candida and How I Healed My Gut

For most of my adult life, I’ve had stomachaches. I never really thought much of it. I figured everyone had them, and if mine were slightly worse, it was just genetic and there was nothing I could do about it. It wasn’t until I went to culinary school and they became increasingly worse that I realized there was probably something going on with my digestive system. My doctor tested me for celiac disease and when the results came back negative, she said there was nothing left to do but an elimination diet. I decided to take things into my own hands and did a little digging on the internet until I came across a Candida quiz. Sure enough, I had many of the symptoms. What is Candida? Put simply, Candida is an overgrowth of yeast in your gut. The presence of yeast in your intestines is natural and only starts to give you problems when it multiplies and becomes too much for the good bacteria in your gut to fight off.  Candida feeds off of sugar and refined carbohydrates, so if you have

How I Got Off Coffee

Last December, I made the choice to stop drinking coffee. This is major for me. You see, coffee was my last addiction. I haven’t had a drink or drug in seven years, I’ve been off dairy for more than a year, and I barely even eat sugar or meat. Therefore, I was holding onto my coffee for dear life. I spent years trying (unsuccessfully) to give up the joe only to wind back up in the coffee shop ordering a large americano with soy milk. Then the stars aligned and a shift set in.

A Healthy Diet for Vegan Athletes

It’s a common misconception that people who regularly spend many hours doing intense, energy-draining workouts need a massive amount of animal protein to stay strong and healthy. Just look at the connection between the paleo and CrossFit communities!  However, it is important to remember that not every body is the same. A diet high in animal protein may give some athletes the energy they need to keep going at the gym, but others will thrive just as well on a vegan diet. To stay in top shape, athletes need a diet high in protein and carbohydrates. Your body used the carbohydrates to fuel your workout and the protein to retain muscle mass and aid the recovery process post-workout. Of course, this could mean eating a slice of toast before you hit the gym and a juicy steak afterward, but it doesn’t have to. Vegans can also sufficiently refuel their bodies pos-workout with plant-based proteins. It’s also a common misperception that green vegetables contain no protein. According to D

From Sneakers to Saddle: 5 Tips for a Great Spinning Class

As an avid runner, I never thought that I would enjoy any cardio as much as I love running.  When a serious hip injury struck, my physical therapist forbade me from any high impact exercise, and I discovered the only cardio that could give me that “runner’s high.” Spinning. I was so intimidated to go to my first indoor cycling class.  All of the other students seemed to know what they were doing, and I had no idea how to set up my bike or what the different positions were. I pushed back my fear and jumped on the bike anyway. This one spinning class changed my workout regimen for good. I took classes frequently, even using the bikes when there were no classes available. After one year of spinning, I became a certified spinning instructor. Now, I teach at least two spinning classes per week. Who knew my injury would lead to a new passion and a part-time job! I know new classes can be tough and scary, but it feels great to step outside your comfort zone. So head to the gym or stu

4 Natural Remedies for Insomnia You Probably Haven’t Tried

Chances are we’ve all suffered from insomnia at some point in our lives – sleepless nights spent staring at the ceiling fan or watching the minutes tick by on the clock. The harder you try to fall asleep, the harder it is to actually fall asleep. If you’re anything like me, you might even start to calculate the hours left until your alarm goes off, which inevitably leads to more stress and less sleep. Insomnia can occur for many reasons. For someone with otherwise regular sleep patterns, occasional insomnia may be the result of a particularly stressful event, job issue, or rocky relationship in your life. For those who suffer from frequent insomnia, it could be indicative of a bigger problem like chronic anxiety. Just like we have all suffered from insomnia at some point , we’ve probably also heard the common cures – don’t drink water before bed, stop drinking caffeine at noon, or make sure your bed room is quiet and the temperature is comfortable before you go to bed.

The Powerful Benefits of Pumpkin for Healthy Skin and Hair

Autumn is officially here, which means it’s time to indulge in everything pumpkin. Good thing this signature fall vegetable is packed with vitamins and minerals including B vitamins, vitamin C, E and beta-carotene—just to name a few. Among its numerous health benefits, pumpkin also helps promote glowing skin and healthy hair. If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your skin and hair, then applying pumpkin treatments or adding it to your diet can help. Here’s why: Vitamin C:  Pumpkin is a good source of vitamin C, which helps protect skin from free radical damage, such as wrinkles and even skin cancer.  Eating vitamin C rich foods also helps promote collagen production, which over time can improve skin tone and elasticity. Carotenoids: Alpha-carotene, beta-carotene and other carotenoids are the protective antioxidants that are also responsible for giving pumpkins their bright orange hue. Eating foods that are a good source of carotenoids can help to reverse UV damage

Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Brownies

Last year, I gave up gluten for 40 days. I felt so much better, I had more energy, and I was able to get more creative in what I ordered at restaurants! Despite this fact, I was craving brownies like crazy, so I decided to find a recipe for gluten free brownies. I really didn’t want to end up with a weird texture so I scoured the internet for a recipe that spoke to me. I found this one from the Gluten Free Goddess. The only thing that I changed about her recipe was the butter for coconut oil. At first I tried them with coconut oil but the coconut flavor was so overpowering, that it just didn’t work for me. They came out surprisingly well and even my husband enjoyed them! You definitely have to like dark chocolate to like these brownies because they are super decadent. Next time I make them, I think I’ll substitute the dark chocolate chips on top with peanut butter chips to bring in a different flavor. If you try that out, let me know! Gluten-Free Dark Chocolate Brownies Ingredi

Garden Greens Gluten-Free Pasta

What we want to eat and what we need to eat are not always the same. For example, sometimes I just want to eat a warm and hearty bowl of pasta for dinner. This usually happens when its cold and rainy outside or I just need some comfort food. However, I know that what my body actually needs, and what will make me feel best is fresh vegetables. This recipe is the answer to my dilemma. It’s filling and comforting but it packs a major vegetable punch. I like to add lots of green vegetables, which is why I chose to add green tomatoes, but feel free to throw in any of your favorite vegetables. It’s also super quick, so you can have a nutritious, vegetarian dinner on the table in 20 minutes flat!   Garden Greens Gluten Free Pasta with Spinach Pesto Serves 4 Ingredients 1 box or 15 oz. quinoa pasta 2 cups spinach 1 clove garlic ½ cup toasted, unsalted walnuts ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ cup parmesan cheese ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided 1 medium head of broccoli, cut into small pie

Microwave Safety: What’s Fact and What’s Fiction?

Microwaves, like dishwashers and vacuum cleaners, are ubiquitous household items of the technological age. Yet especially in health-conscious circles, microwaves have been the subject of considerable controversy and debate. The most sinister of rumors allege that using a microwave can lead to food toxicity and even brain damage, while more mainstream questions concern the amount of radiation that a microwave may expose you to. When it comes to microwaves, what’s fact and what’s fiction? Should you use a microwave? How microwaves work Microwave ovens convert electricity into electromagnetic radiation that bounces around the oven’s metal interior and is absorbed by food. Though there is some disagreement in the scientific community about exactly how the process works, the common consensus is that the water molecules in the food absorb the energy and begin to vibrate rapidly, adding heat to the food. Contrary to popular belief, microwaves do not cook food from the inside out, but r
