What’s in my pantry?

Over time, I’ve stocked my pantry with items that are the foundation for my meals and can be used in a variety of recipes or all on their own. Once you begin to collect your own favorite pantry pals, you’ll see a few things shrink: your grocery bill, your shopping list and your meal planning woes. Suddenly, half your… Read More >
How To Live in Harmony with High-Fiber Foods
April 22, 2013
Hi Sweet Friends, Sometimes when folks add more veggies and fiber-filled foods to their plate, their digestive system doesn’t cooperate very well and uncomfortable physical issues crop up. These not-so-awesome bathroom trips and embarrassing gassy moments have given fiber a bad name. But fiber really is your friend — you just have to get to know it a little better and learn a few simple fiber guidelines. Today, I hope to mend any grudges you… Read More >
What’s in my fridge?
April 8, 2013
Hi Sweet Friends, My refrigerator is powerful. In fact, it has a direct link to my overall well-being. This week I’m opening my doors in order to give you an in-depth look at my plant-happy haul. Disclaimer: My fridge isn’t always this shiny and clean (I dolled it up for you). And it’s not usually this packed (I wanted to show you my favorite goodies all at once), but I do stock it up with… Read More >
5 Tips to Reduce Inflammation
March 25, 2013
When I started connecting the dots between my diet and lifestyle, chronic inflammation and disease, I felt empowered to take charge of my health. Why? Because our daily choices are the root of chronic inflammation. Over the past decade, I’ve renovated everything from my grocery cart to my makeup bag to my mind in an effort to upgrade my immune system. And as I moved from a stressful life full of fast food, toxins, and… Read More >

Alopecia Areata: A Life Journey
August 15, 2012
By Guest Blogger
Alopecia Areata has taught me a number of things: Life is too short, and with or without hair, life is good and worth living. When hair starts to thin, and strands fall out, you think maybe it will resolve itself. Sometimes it can just mend itself, but more times than not, it can lead to further medical problems, and this needs to be dealt with. Alopecia areata caught me off guard. After years of stress… Read More >
Plant-based Diet: Good for You, Good for the Planet
August 14, 2012
By Guest Blogger
Throughout history, we can identify moments that occur that can only be attributed to a paradigm shift in public opinion. They generally precede government policy. These moments are generally brief but are the harbinger of huge changes in culture and eventually policy. We are in the midst of a monumental shift in the perception of nutrition and the global benefits that can come from this change. At the core of the change is people want… Read More >
Miracles Happen…
July 31, 2012
By Guest Blogger
It is crazy how time changes the way you look at things. There was a time when I could not have imagined being where I am today. A time so dark and scary that it literally took my breath away, crippling me with fear in a way only one’s threatened life could! By the time I was 9, I had seen a lot. Truth is, most of the memories I have of my childhood are… Read More >
Raw: Nice and Easy
May 28, 2012
By Guest Blogger
Like many of us, I stumbled across the raw diet soon after I was diagnosed with cancer, when I suddenly found myself looking for anything and everything to help me survive. I was only 37 and smack in the middle of unchartered territory, desperate to live more than ever before. It was like I had been on the road to California and ended up on the Jersey shore. So discovering the raw diet was a… Read More >
Can GMOs Help End World Hunger?
May 25, 2012
By John Robbins
Can genetically engineered foods help feed the hungry? Are anti-GMO activists and over-zealous environmentalists standing in the way of the hungry being fed? The hope that GMO foods might bring solutions to malnutrition and world hunger was never more dramatically illustrated than when Time magazine ran a cover story titled “Grains of Hope.” The article joyfully announced the development of a genetically engineered “golden rice.” This new strain of GM rice has genes from viruses and daffodils… Read More >
An Apple a Day Melts the Pounds Away!
April 27, 2012
By Kathy Freston
Here’s the secret to weight loss: It’s all about crowding out, not cutting out. Crowding out is a term used in nutritional circles to describe how to eat in a healthy way so that you never even have the chance to feel hungry. You literally crowd out the junk you think you want to eat by choosing to eat key foods throughout the day so that you’re always satisfied. Isn’t that preferable to depriving yourself of foods and white-knuckling… Read More >

The epidemic of obesity has grown dramatically in recent years, most notably in children, one-third of whom have been swept up by weight problems and are at risk for heart disease, diabetes, and certain forms of cancer, among other problems.Unfortunately, the battle against obesity is getting a lot harder. First of all, people trying to lose weight have been lied to. They have been told that the problem is a lack of exercise, when, in… Read More >
The Good News About Nuts & Seeds
February 2, 2012
By Joel Fuhrman MD
Eat Fat or Don’t Eat Fat, That is the Question The major determinant of your long term health is the nutritional quality of the calories you eat. It is the quality of the fat you eat, the quality of the protein and the quality of the carbohydrate that influences your health. Ask yourself, is the food I am about to eat a whole, natural plant source of calories? Is it packaged with fiber, antioxidants and… Read More >
Being Fat in America
September 21, 2011
By John Robbins
We can, as a society, be astoundingly cruel to people who are obese. They might be creative, caring and hopeful people, but we don’t see that. Far too often, we see only their weight. What does it say about us that we act as though you can take the measure of a person by the size bathing suit they wear? Maybe this partially explains why obese people are flocking to a restaurant outside Phoenix, Arizona,… Read More >
Plant-Strong Keeps You Pant-Strong
September 16, 2011
By Guest Blogger
One of the most amazing things that happened to our father’s male heart patients while on his Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease diet was not that their cholesterol numbers went down, or their blood pressure numbers plummeted, or their weight dropped effortlessly, or their type 2 diabetes went away — it was that another part of their body was doubling in size. I could not believe this HUGE piece of evidence was not gaining more… Read More >
It’s Time for an NIH Institute for Nutrition
July 8, 2011
By Dr. T. Colin Campbell
Finally, a long overdue scientific correction is happening. The human genome project is failing to advance the cause of human health, as promised. There is a fundamental but frustratingly and long overlooked reason why this is happening. Working out the details of the human genome was worth doing, on several accounts: monitoring environmental pollutants, evaluating evolutionary lineages, identifying criminal suspects. But initially promising great advances in human health was not and should not have been… Read More >
