Have you read A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle's classic 1962 science fiction novel? In Camazotz the children are fed synthetic nutrition that actually tastes like sand, but they are mind-controlled to experience it as a delicious turkey dinner. This is disturbingly close to what is happening with ultra-processed food today! Without the artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners, these food-like substances would be much less enticing. Even more alarming, scientists are now working on making cookies out of plastic and other non-edible wastes! They are using genetically modified yeasts to transform plastic waste into protein, fat, and flavoring compounds. After mixing with sugar and starch, these "cookies" are 3D printed and microwaved. Thankfully Microbites Cookies are not on the market yet (the research is being done for NASA), but I wouldn't be surprised if this turns into another green-washed "sustainable" product on our grocery store shelves that undermines our health in yet unknown ways!

Our pita class didn't look as idyllic as this, but it was a joyful room of wonderful women! I was running around with flour handprints on my dress, and we were so in the moment that we forgot to take any pictures. We discussed the health benefits of using freshly milled whole wheat flour and sourdough fermentation, then led people through all stages of the process. The best part, of course, was eating our warm pitas right out of the oven with all the toppings!

We only have 4 spots left for our whole grain sourdough pita class next Tuesday! I promise we will speak English, but it is always fun to speak a little French while baking!

In my naturopathic practice I rely on "medicines from the earth" to help people balance inflammation, stress, sleep, mood, digestion, metabolism, and hormones. I would love to hear if you have found herbs and natural remedies helpful in your life!

I'm jumping for joy because one of my clients just got an A+ from his doctor after seeing the massive improvements on his lab results! I love helping people turn their health around so they can get back to doing the things they love!

This beautiful beach near Milwaukee was an amazing spot for a picnic! Although the weather was much milder than here in South Carolina, it was still too warm to travel with a regular salad. I love to make roasted vegetable salads which can be combined with heartier fresh veggies like carrots and tomatoes and a base of rice or quinoa for a light summer lunch.

Nature is one of our greatest healers and is full of wonders to explore! Sadly many people never venture out because they lack the experience and knowledge to feel confident in the wilderness. "Digital adventures" are easy to come by, but they do not exercise your body or feed your soul! This adventure camp for kids (parents are welcome to come too) is an amazing opportunity to learn essential outdoor skills like starting a fire, obtaining water, building a shelter, and learning how not to get lost in the woods. This experience will nurture your child's love of the outdoors, and hopefully yours too! Right here in Hartsville at Narrow Way Nature Center, morning or evening sessions available 🤩

Wilderness Camp is coming back this summer!
