Valentine's Day Edition - Paleo Friendly Fudge

Are There Natural Treatments for ADD?

I hate labels. Whether it be ones we put on ourselves or ones that we let other people define us by, they are ridiculous.   The diagnosis of ADD / ADHD is just another label that is being put on our children at alarming rates.  Conservatively, CDC estimates about 3.5 million or 9% of...

Paleo Garlic Mayo Baked Cod

I have to admit; I don’t like mayo, not even a little bit.  Years ago a patient was talking about baking a piece of fish covered in mayo.  The thought of it grossed me out.
