Good quality of sleep is supportive of weight loss as well as insulin sensitivity, daytime productivity, good mood. And how you sleep can also impact your longevity: It turns out that the regularity of your sleep is more important than how many hours at a time you sleep when it comes to reducing the risk of all-cause mortality according to a recent article published in Sleep 2023 Sep 21:zsad253 by Windred et al.

Bottom line: sticking to a set bedtime and wake up time can be good for your lifespan - and for your overall health as well.
And do aim for at least 7 hours a night! Zzzz...

As fall approaches, it's a great time to clean out your kitchen. Unhealthy food products have a negative health impact and can not only prevent weight loss, but can also increase your risk for weight gain.

Take a look in your pantry, fridge, and freezer and read ingredient labels. Toss out as many items as you can part with that contain:

1. Added sugars (including dextrose, cane sugar, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, maltose, etc.) - sugars lurk in sauces, prepared meals, dressing, etc.
2. Added chemicals such as sodium nitrite, monosodium glutamate, trans fats & hydrogenated oil, artificial food coloring such as Red Dye No.3 and any other ingredient you don't recognize as an actual food.
3. Emulsifiers like lecithin, mono- and di-glyderides, polysorbates, carrageenan, xantham gum, guar gum, and other gums.

Support your health and weight loss goals with healthy food!

When thinking of which carb to make for dinner, think of root vegetables: they can help boost your serotonin and can also help you feel more grounded.

While fall brings new beginnings such as the start of the school year, it's also time of settling down from the bright days of summer so often filled with the excitement of friends, family, and travel.

Eating vegetables from the earth, as emphasized in Ayurvedic and other culinary traditions, can increase our connection to the ground that supports and nourishes us.

Think beyond white potatoes and try sweet potatoes (orange, white, and purple varieties if you can find them), turnips, parsnips, rutabaga, and celeriac. Asian and other ethnic markets sell additional root vegetables you can experiment with. All are packed with nutrients and flavor, and they offer a substantial component to meals.

Many supermarkets, fall farmers markets, and CSA boxes are filled with root vegetables and the good news is that they keep in the fridge or a cool spot in the house for weeks or months. Plus they're usually very inexpensive.

Try them roasted, sautéed, boiled, or in soups and stews.

Root vegetables can be an added comforting way to experience the fall in addition to other serotonin-boosting foods - enjoy!

This is a question we get often from clients and readers. The answer: it depends.

We'd love to hear what you think!

Food should be tasty enough that you will eat it - and not resent the fact that you're eating something you might not love.

Of course food brings pleasure to the taste buds and other mouth sensations including the sounds of chewing and textures. It's wonderful to enjoy those aspects.

Please remember the bigger picture pleasures of food that truly nourishes your body and supports your health and weight loss goals. Maybe think of it as delayed gratification if you're reluctantly eating chickpeas, kale and other leafy greens, and chicken or fish without processed sauces.

Embrace pleasures that include the company with whom you're eating, the visual and olfactory qualities, and the connection to the food production and preparation.

Food does not have to be purely functional or purely indulgent.

Eating is what you make it: aim for a balance between short term (taste) and long term (health and wellness) so that your diet is sustainable and gets you the big picture results you're aiming for.

Bon appetit!

What’s a good way to incorporate red cabbage into your diet? Perhaps best known as a topping for fish tacos, you can also pickle, roast, steam, or sauté it. Or include it in soups and stews.

A great way is to shred it with a hand held grater and incorporate it into stir-fries and in my salads: it adds vibrant color and substance to both.

Red cabbage is packed with vitamins & minerals. It has beneficial anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and immune properties. Plus it’s high in fiber which can help your digestion and keep you feeling full which, in addition to it being a low calorie food, can support weight loss.

As with other cruciferous vegetables, cooking cabbage can make it easier to digest. To keep the vibrant red-purple color when cooking, try adding a splash of apple cider vinegar.

I’d love to hear your favorite ways to enjoy red cabbage!
