What to Eat When You Can't
Eating well or eating the right amount is difficult for most people, let alone those with a GI condition. Whether it be Crohn’s, IBS / IBD, GERD, or one of the many others, there’s times when you have no appetite and have to force yourself to eat, and times when you could eat a horse and yet gag at the idea of actually putting the food in your mouth. It’s a dreadful culinary purgatory, but there’s hope.

Flavor in Balance
I’m just gonna get right into it. At sixteen, I diagnosed myself with HS (hidradenitis Suppurativa) through Google. My doctor confirmed it at a same day appointment once I finally told my Mother, I was beyond crushed, confused, and trying to figure out what and who to blame. I suffered with severe symptoms for year’s until I discovered an herbal detox through a colleague at 22 and decided to try it, I trusted myself to be disciplined enough to get through and see some positive results. Before that, I looked at HS strictly as a skin disorder but this was before my further research of autoimmune diseases.

Eat Well, Feel Good, Do Great Things
It was summer 2008. I walked across the college stage and was declared: jobless. I was lost, and the marketing degree they handed me gave had no instructions on what came next. All I knew was I had dreams of doing something big. Now, if I could only figure out what that was.

Passionate Cooking
I have been in the kitchen most of my life. My earliest memory was when I was about three years old when my parents and I lived in Hampton, VA. I helped my dark haired, slender mom make Christmas cookies, most notably, thimble cookies with jam. Mom would let me take a clean thimble and make little indentations in the small cookies to fill with fruit jam. Another favorite memory was ‘washing’ dishes with her after the dinner meal. I loved playing in the dish water.

The Vegan Celebrity Revolution
It’s not so long ago that being a vegan was a rarity. Today, the plant-based diet is more mainstream than it’s ever been. For example, in the UK the number of vegans quadrupled between 2014 and 2019, and in 2020, one survey found that around 1.1 million people across the nation had adopted the diet. That number is only expected to grow, and by 2025, it is expected that a quarter of the British population will be vegan.

Microgreens
I've been working in health care for around 30 years. First as a Medical Assitant and then as an RN. As much as I enjoy helping people and being a part of their healing, I have to say and say it out loud, I am over it! Dont get me wrong. I really do love helping people and I really do want people to be well, but the responsibility of dealing with other's life and death issues and the persistent emotional tugging knowing I must remain impartial and strong for this or that person have topped me off emotionally and mentally, I am done. I want to enjoy helping people but not in this capacity.
