Two million women reach menopause every day. It’s rarely spoken of even though 64 million women in the United States are age 49 or older. In this interview with Laurie S. Jeffers, DNP FNP-BC, we discuss the time of women’s lives BEFORE menopause called perimenopause (literally “around menopause”). It’s often ignored by practitioners and the general population and we want to make it a regular conve...

Welcome to Nourish Bytes, our very short takes on health and nutrition topics and ideas.

Now, especially, during these COVID times, your cravings may actually be that you're hungry for connection. What protein powder do you choose? Which vegetables are the best choice for true health? What supplements should you take? Does that really matter? There are other, possibly more important factors for true health and longevity. What are they? We discuss them here and how you can tune up your...

The Nourish Five Foundations of Health are the core of our wisdom and what we base our practice on with clients and ourselves.

The third episode of our Tune In series is addressing deprivation. We dive into the "shoulds" that are embedded in the diet culture: "You should eat this or not that."

But YOU know what's good for you--perhaps you don't trust yourself, but we want you to get back into yourself and learn how to tune into yourself for th...

In this podcast, we discuss the challenges of sheltering at home with family or by ourselves. And how to get a perspective on what this unique time is doing to our sense of self. After listening to this one, check out our other podcast on connection from 2019: Get Connected.

It's a time of sheltering in place, and a lot of us are finding ourselves in the kitchen more than ever. What are you making; how are you dealing with making meals with what you have? How is this all affecting you during this new world order?

The diet culture is a part of our every day living in our language, our thoughts, our judgments, and how we relate to others. It's damaging in ways you probably never thought of. We'd like to bring awareness to it and begin to undo the damage it has caused. Here we suggest how you can become more aware and begin the healing process.

Dr. DeVito is unique in many ways, but what inspired us to lure him into an interview for Nourish Noshes is his take on health, which, we believe, is different that any other conventional doctor we know. His approach to treating his patients parallels our own Foundations of Health: Nutrition, Sleep, Movement, Mindfulness, and Connection. It's a truly holistic way of looking at a person and really...

You may think it’s fantastic that we can shop at our supermarket for strawberries in November and peaches in February. And in a way, it is amazing. But buying and eating them hurts more people than they benefit. Let us explain.
