Wild St. John's Wort OK. Here goes. I avoid talking about St. John's Wort. In my clinical practice I tend to dose pretty conservatively....

This is a horrible time.  I don't care who you are, what political lines you fall on, or how optimistic or 'enlightened' you are.  You...

I’ve said this before- I’m a summer gal. Being a teacher for all of my professional life (aside from now) has left some indelible marks...

Working with herbs? Here's why you need to build a relationship with your plant medicine.

I can’t afford me. It’s true. As I’ve been spending the last 3-4 years building a couple of businesses from scratch it has been a newish...

When you’re interested or passionate about something it’s easy to get swept up in the excitement of it, or to be led down some deep...

It's September. It's starting to get darker earlier. But even if I wasn't able to see the world around me, my body would let me know. I'm...

I know I said I'm not doing many more of these 'casual' posts anymore, as part of my business plan was to blog once or twice a month...

I know you know what melatonin is. You may fall on the Melatonin Fan bandwagon, or you might be fed up with it for whatever reason. But...

One of my favorite and earliest memories was seeing the big glass cylinder, the one with the muted orange and yellow citrus slices...

I find there are often 2 types of herbalists that I tend to run across: the science-based and the woo-woo. Neither are wrong or right....

I’m not a boring person. For most of my life I chose (most of the time) not to be boring, and prefer to be around non-boring people (I've...

I'm supposed to be finishing up my Herb of the Month newsletter right now. But I just went outside. In my bare feet. In my bathrobe. At...

It's been a minute. So much for my 'blog every month' goal. The ironic thing is that the months I have been missing lately are months...

Everyone loves fall. I am not those people. I'm a spring/summer gal. Now, I don't necessarily dislike fall, but to me it had underlying...

I started too late. My path to holistic living was weak, at best, for most of my adult life. I mean, I preferred to eat organic food, and...

Whelp, I have already failed in maintaining a monthly blog. Sorry, June. For a person with 'not a real job' at the moment, I seem to find...

The struggle is real. I've been on Vyvanse for about 10 years. And. I. Love. It. It gave me this incredible energy, kept me motivated,...

I don't read blogs. I don't follow bloggers. I don't listen to podcasts (until last week). Up until recently I haven't strayed far from...
