Westside Natural Health

Just as I was getting thawed out from the “snowmaggedon”, it got cold again in the Evansville area. These fluctuations are generally not well-received by my clients as far as I can tell by their comments this past week, and I know I am over it. The positive side of the deep freeze is that it prompted me to more fully develop our in-office coffee and tea station. I am someone who survives the cold weather by having warm drinks throughout the day. I have herbal tea, black tea, decaf or half-caf...

I have been nose deep, learning about amino acids, peptides, and proteins in the midst of an adventurous kitchen remodel. Yes, two very unrelated things, but somehow they are keeping me balanced. Let me tell you why. Have you ever heard of a smooth remodel? I certainly have not - and of course we are no exception. Though we haven't uncovered anything too crazy, we have been experiencing unexpected delays in our remodel. Our chaotic kitchen has caused an extended chaotic diet. We do our best...

Happy May Everyone!!! Does anyone think that April was a blur? That it went by so fast that it is mind blowing? 🤯 Or is it just me? I know that part of the reason that last month seemed to sprint on by is that I traveled for part of it. I attended a training retreat hosted by some of my mentors in Naturopathic practice, and we had a gorgeous Smoky Mountain view to enjoy. I will always be glad that I gave myself the permission to step away from my professional duties, and personal life, for...
