It's Dr. Bonnie now and that means prizes for you! I'm officially Dr. Bonnie! It has been a joke for several years with my friends when I caveat my advice, with "I'm not a doctor"... but now I am. However, I'm not a medical doctor, but a Naturopathic Doctor. Naturopathic Doctors help educate to restore people's health naturally. What we do not do is treat, diagnose or cure illness! I believe God made our bodies whole and we can return them to that state if we provide them with the appropriate resources of whole, clean food. This is so exciting and a gift from my creator. What has…

Quieting the mind can heal Silence is God's first language; everything else is a poor translation. In order to hear that language, we must learn to be still and to rest in God— Thomas Keating What brings you to the brink? –that tipping point that finally turns you away from your old habits and turns you to healing and wholeness? For me turning 30 was the tipping point –I knew I didn’t have the stamina to run from life anymore – neither, I hated to admit, could I control it. Old hurts, consequences of my choices, the challenges of marriage and family life brought me to the brink. I had to make the…

Do You (or your child) Have Symptoms of Burnout? If you are experiencing low energy or fatigue, your body may be in burnout mode. The main physical symptom that identified burnout is overwhelming fatigue upon awakening after eight to ten hours sleep or after a short nap. Bottom line, you feel exhausted. Your body can recover after a good night’s sleep with simple fatigue where burnout cannot be corrected solely by rest. Other symptoms of burnout may include: Craving for sweets due to a need for a quick energy source Lowered resistance to disease and/or infections Changes in appetite, alternating from ravenous to no appetite at all Reduced…

I splurged and got myself the Forks Over Knives - The Cookbook: Over 300 Recipes for Plant-Based Eating All Through the Year recently and I am super excited about it.

They are full of crunchy, toasty, peanut-buttery deliciousness, with just a hint of cinnamon. These…

Jill’s Lazy Sunday Stew This stew is quick and easy. Serve it with some garlic bread and a salad for a great meal.

Spicy Sweet & Sour Eggplant Recipe Eggplants are in season and we've been blessed abundantly with them from our CSA. I made this last night and it was delicious. Whether you are buying your eggplant from the local farmers market, growing your own or finding them in your CSA shares this month, consider trying this mouth watering whole foods recipe for a meat free night one day this week. Some notes on the recipe: The Arrowroot powder is the thickener in the sauce which replaces Cornstarch (typically GMO stuff). Obviously, cornstarch works as well if you don't have access to arrowroot. The Sweet & Sour Sauce would be great with stir-fry…

Are You Unknowingly Keeping Yourself Sick and Miserable? Week 24 of 52 Weeks of Wellness Are you feeling sick, fatigued or just plain miserable? You should know that... 80% of disease is preventable by lifestyle choices. Meaning diet and exercise (or FSA as I like to call it, "fun sweaty activity") is the key. If you continue to believe that there is nothing you can do to prevent disease and you don't make wellness a priority you could have some serious health issues in the future to combat. We just finished up talking about how the majority of available "convenience foods" are terrible when it comes to your health.…

Spiced Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies These cookies make a great treat and the cranberries contain an array of cancer-fighting antioxidants. The deep red pigments also protect against cancer. In the fall, raspberries make a comeback and you can try substituting cranberry for raspberry too. Feel free to substitute the brown sugar with 1/4 cup of date sugar or 1/2 cup agave nectar. (If using agave, reduce the 1/2 cup nondairy milk by a tablespoon.) Makes 27 cookies Ingredients: 3/4 cup organic butter or coconut oil 1 cup sweetened dried cranberries 3 cups quick-cooking or rolled oats 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder…

This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs. Oh sorry, wrong post. Talk about effective marketing!? Every time I see a photo of an egg it takes me back to that classic and powerful commercial. Although the commercial was targeting recreational drugs, the sad part is that we are using and abusing prescription medication at a much higher rate and it has become completely accepted in society. I can't remember the last time I've taken an over-the-counter or prescription medication. The reason I don't remember is because it has been such a long time since I've used them. And yes, I'm quite proud of that. I have God…
