Food is the missing tool in medicine to improve your health outcomes.

Food Foundation is about eating real food and building foundational health. I share tips on how to make it easy and fun for the whole family.

It’s persimmon season which means you may have friends bringing over buckets of strange, orange fruit. Before you let them rot into a wicked still life, try slicing them into coasters and dehydrating them. The natural sweetness will come through without the disturbingly mushy texture of this varietal. This works best with a Hachiya, that looks like an acorn, rather than a short round Fuyu that can be eaten like an apple.

I am unabashedly enthusiastic when it comes to pumpkins. Not the type to order « pumpkin pie spice lattes » 🤢, but the type to wander excitedly through a dirt field and hug lumpy gourds.

I tend to skip the over-produced jack-o-lantern pumpkins because I have no intention of carving them and letting them rot on my porch. I like the heritage breeds that look like a wicked, witchy, still life, and taste delicious when I roast them for the holidays.

Because I plan to eat them, I prefer my pumpkins without chemical pesticides and Blue House Farm checks all my boxes. If you don’t want the corn maze, the crying children, the bouncy castles, or the synthetic sugar treats—this farm may be your jam. And… you’ll be supporting the good guys.

“Why would you visit a mushroom farm?” she asks politely as I share dozens of images of a recent farm tour. When our world is full of conveniences such as mushrooms on Amazon prime that can be delivered promptly, it’s difficult to explain why I would drive 90 minutes to buy some oyster mushrooms.

It’s even harder to explain why I want to see the techniques used to cultivate them, the quality of the substrate, and buy a kit to grow my own mushrooms that I can enjoy 2 weeks from now.

As someone who recommends mushrooms, often for their health benefits, I feel that it is essential that I trust the farm that grows them. Far West Fungi is a farm that I trust and I highly recommend you find their mushrooms in Bay Area farmer’s markets and some Whole Foods stores. Just don’t try the pink ones (that are so tempting with their pretty color) unless you love the flavor of licking mold off of a rusty iron gate.

Luckily, I had no trouble finding a perfect cup of matcha in Amsterdam. When I drink coffee, I feel like a squirrel on co***ne. I get a lot of fight seeing in, but nobody enjoys my jittery conpany. I love the little bit of caffeine in a matcha or green tea. The mild high is balanced by the l-theanine, a compound that promotes GABA production and makes you feel calm. 🍵😌

I did get a little overly excited when I was able to see the cow’s name, date milked, and the level of fat, protein, and carbohydrate in the milk. No wonder the Netherlands makes such great cheeses; the milk was admittedly delicious!

Have you guessed my location yet? I’m in the Netherlands where bikes rule the roads and dairy gets transformed into the most delicious cheeses. My good friend gave me a ride in her bike to a favorite cafe after we took a 90 minute contemporary dance class. Thanks Esin for a wonderful day!

Enjoying some red currants as a simple dessert. Not too sweet, full of interesting flavor and texture, and rich in vitamin C, iron, and copper to help improve your energy. Anyone lucky enough to grow these in your part of the world?

Melons are fruits that I often meet with extreme disappointment as they mope on the side of my diner breakfast. If you’ve only experienced these same pathetic encounters, you are missing out! I encourage you to visit a farmer’s market and try a melon that is picked in season. The sweetness, the musk, and the juicy flesh are unique traits to this delightful orb. I’ve seen many a recipe, but I like my melon with melon. Because of the high water content, melon is digested quickly, and best eaten alone. Enjoy!!!
