Focus on Pumpkin Seeds

Focus on Oats

February 10, 2019 by Teri Sprouse

For the past 30 days, some friends and I have been doing the Whole 30.  It is a fairly restrictive, short term diet plan designed to help you identify some of the potential food triggers that may be causing digestion and inflammation issues in your life.  One of the limitations it places is to avoid […]

Seeds for Health

November 26, 2018 by Teri Sprouse

I am always looking for ways to sneak a little added nutrition into my life with a minimal amount of hassle.  One of the easiest sources to boost  nourishing, healthy nutrition is to include seeds in your diet.

Sea Veggies

May 6, 2018 by Teri Sprouse

When I was younger the thought of eating the slippery, slimy greenery I saw on the edge of the beach seemed out of the realm of possibilities.  As my pallet expanded and I began experimenting with eating sushi, I realized sea weed can be a healthy, tasty addition to my diet. Just like the vegetables […]

Focus on Turkey

November 18, 2017 by Teri Sprouse

Gobble, gobble!  Turkey day is upon us this week and I for one can’t wait to chow down on some yummy roasted turkey.  I know that Thanksgiving often gets a bad rap for over indulgence but the meal can be healthy if you build your plate around some of the more healthy sides.  (Think salad, […]

September 25, 2017 by Teri Sprouse

The weather here in Portland is beginning to shift into Fall.  While we are still expecting some 80 degree days in the next week, I know it won’t be long before we are dusting off our fleeces and running around in our rain boots.  Many people lament the change to Fall because they miss their […]

Focus on Zinc

September 4, 2017 by Teri Sprouse

In my nutrition program, we had two whole weekends focused on supplements and folk remedies for helping clients achieve optimal health.  While all the new knowledge I gained will be incredibly helpful with my clients, one of the most important pieces of information I gained was how zinc deficient I am.   Our whole class […]

Foods to Fight Anxiety and Stress

March 6, 2017 by Teri Sprouse

Lately, I have been hearing from many of my clients about how stressed out, anxious and overwhelmed they are feeling.  It seems that no matter what side of the political divide you live on, the contentious nature of our politics and the 24 hour news cycle has everyone feeling a little overwhelmed.  I like to […]
