Just in time for spring…Heavenly Deviled Eggs

Just in time for spring…Heavenly Deviled Eggs

It seems everyone has their favorite recipe for deviled eggs! But when you’re ready for something different, I hope you’ll consider my herb-kissed version. Rather than the more traditional tangy and sweet or hot and spicy, these deviled eggs are fragrant with fresh chives, dill and marjoram.

SUPPORT THE GUT - IMMUNE CONNECTION

Hippocrates was right when he made that statement almost 2,500 years ago – that’s well before we’d refined sugar, created processed “food” products, and added antibiotics and a slew of other toxins to our food!

We’ve got Super Man and Super Girl, so why not be a Super Ager?  It’s a term that was coined by UCSF researcher, Joel Kramer, PsyD, who has studied a set of seniors that defy the odds on aging. He’s been assessing the personality traits of those who thrive into their 80’s and beyond, and has found a consistent theme: a healthy aging mindset is a distinguishing factor.  The subjects with sharp cognition and vitality stay engaged in projects, they volunteer and have close family ties.

Take The Wheel To Grow Your Health

Take The Wheel To Grow Your Health

We all know our health care system is broken. You can’t turn on the news without catching a debate on best how to fix it. The challenge is that we don’t really have a “health care” system: we have a “disease management system”.  The U.S. spends more money per capita than any country, yet our disease burden is higher than in comparable countries.

Could you be a victim of the “Silent Epidemic” that is killing Americans and bankrupting our country? Silent: as in, you don’t know that it is happening to you until it hits. Epidemic: as in, a widespread occurrence of a disease in a community.
