Hello, My Name Is
"My mission is to educate and encourage healthy, mindful living helping others embrace the concept that we are a product of what we eat and how we treat ourselves."
Personal health and educating others on their health and wellness have been passions of mine for many years. I have had issues with my health for my entire life culminating in cancer and Hashimoto’s in my 30’s. Beyond my own health, I have also struggled while watching various loved ones suffer from health-related issues, including my husband Marc who lost his battle to cancer in his mid-40’s. Despite my many challenges with health, I am so grateful for the lessons that I have learned from them because they have given me the fuel to pass on my knowledge to other people in need.

They are topped […]

You cannot heal your way into perfection. This is something that took me many years to learn and even more years to accept. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at the age of 32 and a slew of unrelated health issues followed. I struggled with serious thyroid illnesses like Hashimoto’s and Hypothyroidism for many years.

Legume-based rice (like chickpea rice) is a versatile, healthy, and delicious pantry item, which is why in our household, we have 1-2 meals accompanied with rice weekly! However, with this recipe from my dear friend Pamela Saltzman’s new cookbook Quicker Than Quick, the rice becomes the main star. With accessible and flavorful ingredients like capers and olives, this weeknight Arroz […]
