If you are grossed out by using a whole chicken-you need to get over it.

There’s a reason our ancestors made chicken soup was always made with the whole bird.

The bones, cartilage, skin, and connective tissue contribute gelatin, collagen-derived amino acids, and flavor that you simply don’t get from using boneless chicken breasts alone.

Also, I get multiple dinners out of one chicken. I remove the breasts and save them for another meal, then use the rest of the chicken to make a rich, golden broth.

It’s economical, minimizes food waste, and makes the most of every part of the chicken. The most nourishing cooking traditions are the ones worth bringing back.

Low libido can be influenced by nutrient deficiencies, chronic stress, poor sleep, thyroid dysfunction, and hormonal changes, especially during postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause.

From a functional nutrition perspective, supporting your libido starts with nourishing your body and understanding what it needs- although no single food is a magic fix.

Lifestyle plays a role, too. Getting enough sleep, making time for mindfulness, meditation or yoga, reducing alcohol intake, and moving away from smoking or va**ng can all support your overall sexual health.

This tangy, deep-red spice has been used for centuries in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking, but its nutritional benefits deserve just as much attention as its flavor.

Incorporating more antioxidant-rich herbs and spices into your diet is a simple way to add flavor, variety, and beneficial plant compounds without relying on supplements.

Here are 8 reasons to add sumac to your kitchen:

1. Rich in antioxidants: Packed with polyphenols and flavonoids that help protect your cells from oxidative stress.
2. Supports heart health: Research suggests sumac may help improve cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
3. Promotes blood sugar balance: May support healthy glucose regulation and insulin sensitivity.
4. Contains anti-inflammatory compounds: Provides plant compounds that may help regulate inflammatory activity in the body.
5. Supports digestion: Traditionally used to promote digestive health, although human research is still limited.
6. Supports metabolic health: May positively influence markers associated with metabolic function.
7. Contains antimicrobial compounds: Laboratory studies suggest activity against certain bacteria and fungi.
8. Supports cellular health: Its antioxidant compounds help protect against free-radical damage.

A systematic review of 15 clinical trials involving 917 adults found promising improvements in blood sugar regulation and cholesterol markers with sumac supplementation.

How I use it: Sprinkle it over eggs, avocado, roasted vegetables, salads, grilled meats, hummus- anything really!!

Have you tried sumac before, or is this your sign to start?

This is your monthly reminder to eat seasonally 🍎

For women especially, our nutritional needs can shift through every stage of life - from reproductive years to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause.

Eating seasonally encourages you to rotate foods, diversify nutrients, and pay closer attention to what your body is asking for instead of eating the exact same foods year-round.

During perimenopause and menopause, that variety matters even more as blood sugar regulation, digestion, inflammation, bone health, and hormone metabolism can all become more important areas of focus.

Seasonal eating is one simple way to get back to the basics: more whole foods, more variety, and more awareness of how your body feels.

Creatine deserves a much bigger conversation in motherhood.

It’s not just a gym supplement. Creatine helps your cells rapidly produce energy-and your brain, muscles, heart and reproductive tissues all rely on this system.

Pregnancy changes the equation. As your baby grows, your body adapts how it makes, uses and excretes creatine while the placenta and baby have their own growing energy demands.

Then during breastfeeding, creatine is naturally transferred through breast milk to support your baby’s developing brain and body.

The benefits being studied for women go far beyond muscle: strength and recovery, brain function, mental fatigue, mood, glucose metabolism and healthy aging.

For the mom navigating pregnancy, postpartum, broken sleep, brain fog and recovery, that matters.

Supplementation shouldn’t be another thing you blindly add to your routine. Your nutrition, symptoms, life stage and individual needs is important.
