Sedona True Nutrition

“I’m tired of making the same meals, and I just need some fresh inspiration.” If that’s you, I want to share something that feels a little extra special to me.

My daughter (a Registered Dietitian) and her RD colleague are hosting a live Nourish & Flourish virtual cooking class, and it’s such a simple, supportive way to reset your routine.

You’ll cook alongside them, learn practical tips you can actually use during the week, and walk away with meals that feel doable—not overwhelming.

No pressure. No perfection.
Just good food, supportive guidance, and a chance to connect. 💛

Honestly, sometimes we just need someone to cook with to get out of a rut—and this is exactly that.

If it sounds like something you’ve been needing, I’d love for you to join them (and me, since I am already signed up 😄).

What moves me to move? Setting a goal, like a 10K race, and sharing that goal/dream with family and friends who encourage and support me. There were 4000 participants at the RunSedona race, and I saw people of all ages accomplishing their goal together. I loved seeing families and friends together on the road and bystanders cheering everyone on so that we all crossed the finish line. Thanks to "my village" for being by my side as I accomplished my goal after being away from the running community for 11 years.

I appreciate this thorough review of saturated fats and unsaturated fats. I will not fear fats but be mindful of how I consume them. I will keep my saturated fat intake low and focus on consuming more whole food sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. When choosing seed oils, I favor avocado oil for high-heat cooking and extra virgin olive oil for preparing homemade salad dressings.

✨ Who is the face of homelessness?

It may not be who you think. The film No Address shines a powerful light on the realities of homelessness—reminding us that every story deserves compassion, dignity, and hope.

As a new volunteer, I’m honored to provide nutrition education and culinary instruction—helping families take one more step toward rebuilding their lives.

🎬 Come experience No Address at Sedona International Film Festival's Mary D. Fisher Theatre and be part of the solution. Every ticket purchased helps spread awareness and strengthens the work being done right here in our community.

I love walking out to my garden every morning and harvesting fresh produce. I was gone for a week so the squash got a bit out of control. 😀 We ate a lot of baked zucchini fries last night! ❤️

🍒🍓 Little hands, big benefits 🌿
My 2-year-old granddaughter spent the morning immersed in nature with her parents picking (and taste-testing) fresh strawberries and cherries straight from the source. Seeing these photos reminds me how deeply nourishing it is to connect with our food in this way.
From a holistic nutrition lens, these vibrant fruits offer more than just flavor:
✨ Strawberries support immune function, skin repair, and gut health thanks to their vitamin C, polyphenols, and fiber.
✨ Cherries bring anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds that gently support joint health, cardiovascular function, and natural sleep cycles.
When food is grown with care and eaten with joy, it becomes more than nourishment—it becomes medicine, memory, and meaning. 💕
Let’s raise a generation that knows where food comes from, how it feels to harvest it, and how it tastes when it’s alive with nutrients.

There is nothing like growing your own food! I am not a master gardener by any stretch of the imagination. So when I harvest food that came from a small packet of seeds, I celebrate 🙌.

Self-care strategies allow us to maintain and improve our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Self-care can take many forms and will look differently for every person.

How did I show up for myself today? I daily carve out 60 minutes to be active outside. This is what I did from 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM:

1.) I exposed my eyes to morning light for the first 10 minutes of my walk to help regulate my internal clock. Then I donned my sunglasses for eye protection. I expose my eyes first thing in the morning when I wake up, but I also want to get outside throughout the day, even if it is just for 5-10 minutes. By doing so, my brain's master clock will correctly send hormone signals to promote energy and relaxation based on the time of day or night.

2.) I put on my Omorpho weighted vest to add extra resistance to make my muscles work harder. There are many benefits to wearing weighted vests during exercise: stimulates bone growth, improves muscular strength, and improves cardiovascular endurance. This was my most recent love purchase for myself and investment in my health.

3.) I listened to something that motivates and inspires me: The Peter Attia Drive Podcast. There are times I choose to use my walks to be in the moment and take in my surroundings; there are other days I like to use my brain and learn while I walk...this was one of those days!

I hope you love on yourself today, too! Happy Monday, y'all!

Miss Hazelnut is enjoying her apple. There are a great many reasons why we should all eat an apple a day, but I want you to just take in her joy in eating a real, whole food. Nourishing foods are simple, yet powerful.
