High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) hits your body hard. Because it’s high in free fructose, it can speed up the creation of AGEs—compounds linked to inflammation, skin aging, and metabolic issues. Soft drinks, sugar sweetened juices, mixers are main sources in the summer. So as the weather warms up...

Replace lemonade with filtered water spritzed with lemon or lime juice.

Instead of soda enjoy a sparkling water with no artificial sweetener or added sugar (Spindrift and Hop Wtr are my favs!).

Brew your own tea and cool with ice.

And check your favorite mixers to make sure they are free of HFCS.

Stay hydrated! Your cells will feel the difference.

Thank you Lensing Funeral & Cremation Service for inviting me - It was an honor to speak to such a curious and caring group of people.

Thank you to Kerry Doyle-Gundlach, Integrative and Functional Dietitian/Nutritionist and Owner of Iowa City Functional Nutrition, for sharing her expertise with our Breaking Bread attendees this month.

We learned so much about how our food correlates with our health, mood, etc. So much to think about and follow-up on!

Feeling thankful for the 3D printed sardine can a client made me after I introduced him to the magic of mackerel and sardines. Little moments like this remind me why I love this work. 😊
