A few excellent suggestions for your holiday spread from Dr. Axtell. Two ingredient GF pie crust? Yes, please.

Thanksgiving is approaching, and I have had many people ask, “How do I maintain my (gluten-free-), (anti-inflammatory-), (dairy-free-, etc) diet over the holidays?” You do not have to sabotage your diet and your gains in health during Thanksgiving…or Gluten-fest rather. Here are some basics for eating well during the holidays (and thus avoiding the 3 day “food hangover.”)

I'm always on the hunt for healthy on-the-go breakfast options. Planning to make a rendition of these... I may have to add some crumbled nitrite free bacon to a few. Thoughts? Oh, and that avocado dressing 👌🏼

Anyone else struggling with this week's time change?! This is an interesting read regarding the difference between our own internal clock and the social clock, leading to a "social jet lag" of sorts, and hugely impacting our overall health. A good reminder to do what you can to prioritize a consistent and sufficient sleep schedule. 😴

"It's not a drug; it's not a procedure; it is a novel, comprehensive and personal approach to treating memory loss associated with Alzheimer's..."

Looks very much like what I prescribe on a daily basis to many of my patients.

I've had a lot of questions from patients, family, and friends regarding this year's flu shot... Do I need one? What about my kids? How effective is it?
Here are some thoughts on last year's flu shot to hopefully help with that decision making process.

It’s no secret this year’s flu shots didn’t work as well as doctors had hoped. But the news got worse Thursday when the CDC revised its estimates of the flu vaccine’s effectiveness downward even further, from 23% to 18%.

One of my favorite remedies during cold and flu season is homemade bone broth. Sally Fallon Morell's newest book, Nourishing Broth, is on my must-read list this month...

Fun visual of breakfast around the world, and some food for thought: "It is only through repeated exposure and mimicry that toddlers adjust to new tastes... Getting children to eat sugar is easy. Teaching them to eat slimy fermented soybeans, by contrast, requires a more robust and conservative culinary culture, one that resists the candy-coated breakfast buffet."

What do kids around the world eat for breakfast? It’s as likely to be coffee or kimchi as it is a sugary cereal.
