Green Fries

I just picked up a new cookbook – Clean Start by Terry Walters – and this is the first recipe I’ve tried from it. The cookbook is full of really great seasonal recipes using real, whole foods. I can’t wait to start going to the farmer’s market on a regular basis and get my garden going so I can try all of these recipes! I am also extra excited because as a very late Christmas present from my aunt I got a super cool insulated market tote (picture below). I’ll be shopping both fashionably and sustainably this Saturday.

Healthy Neurotransmitters Teleseminar

This week we had a teleseminar or neurotransmitters. We talked about Cravings, appetite, compulsive eating – PLUS so much more! We mentioned several items and wanted to share them here, too.

“Miraculous things can happen when someone achieves proper neurotransmitter balance. It’s like a light switch, and when the switch flips, a whole new reality emerges. Cravings disappear, “I have to” becomes “I choose to, or choose not to”; memory, focus and concentration improve; people get control of their lives back.” Says Dr. Chad Oler of the Natural Path health Center

Dr. Chad has worked with brain chemistry imbalances for over a decade and has helped thousands of clients all over the world. He is a world renowned expert in the clinical application of amino acid therapy and receives referrals from doctors and clinics all over the globe.

For a Live – phone in – Teleseminar – “When Willpower Isn’t Enough”

Are you ALWAYS thinking about food? Do you crave carbohydrates and sweets every day? Do you feel that you do not have control over what you eat? Do you keep eating even though you know that you are full? Are you tired all the time? Do you have obsessive thoughts? Are you hungry most of the time? Do you have an extreme ‘sweet tooth’?  Do you crave foods especially around 3-4pm and again around 7-9pm?

If you do – then you know that willpower and determination alone, Does. Not. Work.

You also probably know those familiar feelings of guilt, shame and hopelessness when it comes trying to change your eating habits. You are not alone. Many people suffer with brain chemistry imbalances that cause these feelings of being out of control, increased hunger and extreme cravings. It doesn’t have to be that way.
