Turkey Day Pumpkin Pie Recipe

By Catherine DouglasNovember 22, 2016 08:03AM0 comments

If you're like us and are still planning out your Thanksgiving menu, here is a pumpkin pie recipe you might find helpful. I don't know the original source; it was handed down to me from my mom a few years ago. I can still remember watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on TV and smelling this lovely pie cooking in the oven. Which begs the question -- what are you doing for Thanksgiving this year? Are you a parade/football watcher? Or do you do something a bit more active like a Turkey Trot 5K?

Today we're going to talk about our Good Flora Probiotic and, in particular, the CFU count. This is not one of the products you find on the market today with 15 billion counts per capsule. Ours is designed around 2 billion counts of bacteria, which is pretty typical for use within the human body.

Healthy Eating: Raw Kale Salad

By Catherine DouglasNovember 11, 2016 09:39AM0 comments

The "queen of greens" is nutritious and delicious. It is low in calories and has zero fat. It is high in fiber, iron (kale has more iron than beef), vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, calcium, folate and magnesium. It is a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detox food.

Today, we bring you a delicious raw kale salad that is easy to put together. We're not sure where it came from (it was a handwritten copy in one of our recipe books at home), but it has been around a while and we can personally attest to its great taste!

Tips for a Healthy Halloween

By Catherine DouglasOctober 27, 2016 07:00AM0 comments

It's true -- Halloween gets us a little spooked, and not just because of the zombies, vampires and ghosts! No, it's because of the S-word (Sugar!) and what it does to our little monsters. Cookies, cupcakes, candy corn, peanut butter cups, malted milk balls, and jolly ranchers... oh my! It's enough to make any parent squirm. So, how can you make Halloween healthier for your family, or for the trick-or-treaters coming to your door?

Vitamin C for Immune System Support

By Catherine DouglasOctober 25, 2016 07:01AM0 comments

The health benefits of vitamin C have been known so long that sometimes this power-house antioxidant vitamin falls off the radar. But it can't be taken for granted; the body can't generate Vitamin C, so it has to be received into the body through food and supplements.

Healthy Eating: Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

'Tis the season for carving pumpkins and you know what that means? No, we weren't thinking of trick-or-treating and getting candy (although, let's be honest - candy is delicious and there's a time and place for it). We were thinking of roasted pumpkin seeds!

Healthy Eating: Homemade Pizza

It can be a bit of a struggle to make a quick meal that is also healthy. One of the go-to meals in our household is homemade pizza. And not just your everyday pepperoni and cheese homemade pizza.

Supplements: Feel Good, Kick Stress Out

As we continue on the topic of mind, mood and memory support, we wanted to touch on the topic of stress. Modern life is crazy. Expectations are high, responsibilities are many, traffic is crazy, everyone in the family is involved in a hundred and one activities, the fridge is broken, the car has to go to the mechanic, and so on... It's incredibly easy these days to feel stressed out.
