Radio Naturopath Episode 454: Summer Produce and The Farmers' Markets

Speaking of summer, I felt inspired to talk about the health benefits of all the great produce that's available right now. Tomatoes for lycopene and cancer prevention. Berries for antioxidants. Cherries for sleep! Also, we discussed all the terrific benefits of shopping at your local farmers market, not the least of which is if you're going to buy celeriac from Anita, she'll tell you a great way to cook it! But even better, fresh, nutritious, low carbon footprint, meet your friends and neighbors, and DOGS!

Radio Naturopath Episode 353: More Natural Skin Care, Especially Shea Butter

So we started off talking about Convoy Day. And then moved on to something people might REALLY be interested in, more natural skin care! I think the hands, and legs, and feet, and arms down winner is shea butter. It's anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, moisturizing, imparts moisture without making you greasy, helps with normal cell differentiation, and contains Vitamins A, E, and folic acid. What CAN'T it do? I talk about a lot of other items but I think shea butter is the all-around winner! Listen for lots more. Next week we'll talk about a few things that are BAD for your skin, and how to eat to promote healthy skin. And then we'll move on to bursitis!

Radio Naturopath Episode 139: ABC's of Vitamins: Vitamin A and All Those B's

This week we start in on the ABC's of vitamins! Since there's so much to discuss, and there are a LOT of B vitamins, I only got through A (including beta carotene and all the mixed carotenoids) and B. But they're REALLY important, especially for immunity, energy, hormone regulation, and blood sugar metabolism! Stay tuned to Radio Naturopath as we work our way through the alphabet! http://5886e4ebcbc837d13f8e-597f4ed4ea6895a41e2bd2978eb66730.r56.cf5.rackcdn.com/radionaturopath/Radio_Naturopath_Episode_139_9-6-17.mp3
