Omega-3 fatty acids are made up of EPA and DHA, both of which are long-chain fatty acids. Another Omega-3, ALA, is a short-chain fatty acid found in plant sources like flaxseed oil. EPA is primarily known to support heart health, while DHA is believed to be beneficial for infant brain and learning development. The most [...]
One of the many things I’m going to miss when we move to Massachusetts is the variety of healthy food grocery stores we have here in Colorado. One of my favorite is Sunflower Farmers Markets. I don’t get to shop all that often at Sunflower Farmers Markets because the nearest one is in Boulder, about [...]
I’ll never forget the first bit of advice my doctor gave me when I went to see him for a checkup a few years back, “The best thing you can do for your health is filter your water.” I was surprised by this, since the water here in Colorado tastes wonderful, and most people filter [...]
If the foodies on your list are anything like me, they’ve got every kitchen gadget imaginable and probably don’t need anything more stuff. Don’t you hate people like that?

Getting over the hump – the first week I went to [...]
Earlier this summer during the BlogHer conference, I attended a party where I had a chance to preview the new Gordon Ramsay Everday collection at Kmart.

I was pleasantly surprised to run into Udi’s Gluten Free Foods at the Cheap Sally party at BlogHer ‘11 earlier this month in San Diego. Not only are they one of my favorite gluten free brands, Udi’s is also one of my fave local food companies as they’re based here in Colorado. I’ve been buying [...]
Last month I was invited out to the headquarters of Align Technology, to learn all about Invisalign and Invisalign Teen as part of my training to be an Invisalign Mom Advisory Board member. I was very impressed with everyone at Align Technologies, from the legal and marketing teams to their CEO, Tom Prescott, who took [...]
A while ago, I wrote that I was trying out Member’s Mark 4X Probiotics. So far, I really like taking Sam’s Club store brand of probiotics. Here’s why: I didn’t have to refrigerate the caplets, so they were easy to take along on my last business trip. I like how the back of the [...]
Probiotics are an important part of your digestive health, balance and well being. Unfortunately, due to my food sensitivities to whey, I’ve had to stop eating yogurt, so I’m not getting probiotics in my diet like I used to.
