Radio Naturopath Episode 169: Protect Yourself: Rest, Natural Sunscreen and Bug Spray; ORAC, Elderberry, STILL The Flu?, and Yogurt Parfaits!

It's suddenly summer! You CAN overdo it with the SUDDEN arrival of summer-like weather, that too much yard work or exercise can be too much of a good thing. Take good breaks in between! Stretch, drink water, tea, and fizzy stuff, relax. Also remember to break out the sunscreen and bug spray! I've got some ideas for some good natural ingredients. Plus, antioxidants and that ORAC value, elderberry and the Late Flu Season, and how to make a yummy yogurt parfait! HINT: VEGAN yogurt is AWESOME, especially coconut and my new fave, CASHEW! 

Radio Naturopath Episode 168: Stress Drinking In the Gray Zone, Green Tea, Acai, and Antioxidants

This week it's about the antioxidants, but also about the wine. Some people are in the gray zone with drinking. We focus on stressed out moms who use a little too much wine as a coping mechanism. It's a MEME, but if you're drinking 2-3-4 drinks most nights of the week, even if you're functioning, it's probably affecting your health. It affects energy, sleep, thyroid function, weight, and sex drive. We explore how! Also, part of a series on antioxidants. Why tea (white, green, black) is good for you, and why acai berry, that great fruit from the Amazon, is also good for you!
