On food lists I make for many of my patients various seeds and nuts are included for the many health benefits they bring. Ask me about seed cycling if interested too. This chart is a good starting point.

Tis the season for pine, fir or spruce needle tea. Simply simmer clean needles in water for 5- 10 minutes and sweeten if needed with a small amount of honey. Honey is moistening and the tree needles release their flavour and essential oils into the tea to support your lungs and immunity. Let me know if you like it.

Make into tea or tincture, and use non-toxic pine species only. All spruce is considered edible 👇👇👇👇🌲🤒💪

Here are some great suggestions to support your health. Another reminder to eat seasonally and enjoy those root veggies and cooked foods in the cooling of the autumn.

Balanced blood sugar = a regulated nervous system. In ERM, sugar swings often mirror Spleen/Pancreas strain (worry, overthinking) and Liver heat (irritability). Build a “steady plate” that calms the body and mind:
• Slow carbs: whole grains or roasted sweet potato/squash
• Protein + fat: legumes, nuts, and seeds
• Fiber + minerals: leafy greens, a sprinkle of seaweed
• Bitter support: bitter melon (or arugula/dandelion if unavailable)
Simple swaps: quinoa instead of white rice, tahini or almond butter instead of sweet sauces, cinnamon–ginger on baked squash for evening cravings. Pair carbs with protein/fat, eat every 3–4 hours, and hydrate
