Spring is a perfect time to dig into the earth and cultivate growth. There are many ways to get into gardening, whether you'd like to grow food, flowers, or herbs; it all helps contribute to the flow of nature. If you're hoping to get started but not sure what to do, we've put together some simple starter tips to get things going. Spring prep now will help bring your garden dreams to life!

🌱 Dr. Meghan’s Gardening Tips 🌱

W**d & prep your soil: Clear old growth, aerate your beds, and enrich the soil with organic compost to give your plants the best foundation.
Create a plan of what your vision is: Annuals or perennials? Flowers or food? All of the above? It can be helpful to draw it out, considering the sunlight your yard gets and what your plants might need.
Watch for frost: Planting young seedlings this time of year, might still need a cover on nights that the temperature dips and frost shows up in the morning.
Plant liver-supportive herbs: Dandelion, milk thistle, and turmeric are great choices for detoxification and overall wellness.
Grow your greens: Kale, spinach, and arugula thrive in spring and support detox pathways, helping your body transition into the season.
Use companion planting: Pair plants that naturally deter pests and support each other’s growth for a thriving, chemical-free garden.
Start small if you’re new to gardening: Even a few potted herbs on a windowsill can be a great way to bring nature into your daily routine!

At Amber Wellness Group, we have been appreciating the gradual lengthening of the days and the return of sunlight. This time of years offers a welcome shift; more light, less darkness. With this shift often comes an improvement in mood and a natural boost of energy as we transition out of winter's slower, more restorative rhythm.

Spring also invites opportunities to reconnect with the outdoors. Activities like planting and gardening can be especially beneficial, offering both physical movement and therapeutic value. Spending time with your hands in the soil can foster a sense of grounding and connection to the natural world.

Here in Portland, the signs of spring are unmistakable! Did you see the cherry blossoms along the waterfront over the last week or two?! Vibrant blooms in shades of pink, purple, and yellow are on full display throughout the city, creating a beautiful and uplifting environment. However, with this seasonal beauty comes an increase in pollen. This pollen increase can lead to common allergy symptoms such as sneezing, itchy eyes, and throat irritation. If you are affected by seasonal allergies, we've got you covered. Our thoughtfully curated selection of allergy support products are available on Fullscript, conveniently linked at the bottom of this newsletter.

We had a very successful She Thrives event last month! This annual event helps raise money and awareness for our non-profit Center for Courageous Health which supports access for patients who are navigating their oncology journey. Some event highlights, ways to get involved, and details about our next amazing event the CCH launch party; are detailed below!

With support and gratitude,

Thinking about what to have for dinner? Interested in spring time plant-based tacos? Say no more!

Ingredients
SMASHED CHICKPEA TACO “MEAT”
2 (15-oz.) cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed and well dried
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbsp aji amarillo paste (or sriracha)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2-3/4 tsp sea salt
VEGGIES
2 medium bell peppers, seeds and stems removed, sliced lengthwise (we used green and red)
1 large onion (red or yellow), peeled and sliced lengthwise
1 ½ Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
QUINOA
1 cup dry quinoa (cooked on the stovetop or in the Instant Pot)
FOR SERVING
Aji Verde Sauce
Fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions
CHICKPEAS: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (218 C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil, lime juice, aji amarillo paste (or sriracha), cumin, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and salt until evenly coated. Mash with a fork until well broken down and cohesive.
Transfer to one of the parchment-lined baking sheets and spread into an even layer with some spaces between the groupings to encourage crisping.

VEGGIES: On the other baking sheet, add the sliced bell peppers and onions. Toss with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. Spread evenly over the pan. Roast the chickpeas and vegetables for 20-25 minutes until crispy, stirring/flipping halfway through.
QUINOA: Meanwhile, prepare your quinoa on the stovetop or in the Instant Pot. 1 cup dry quinoa yields ~3 cups cooked.
SAUCE: Make your aji verde sauce.
Serve the vegetables and chickpeas over quinoa and top with aji verde sauce. Sprinkle with optional cilantro and serve.
Leftovers can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The quinoa and chickpea taco “meat” can be stored in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Easy Shakshuka (with Fresh or Canned Tomatoes) for a spring time meal!

Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup diced white or yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
1 large red bell pepper, finely diced (1 large pepper yields ~1 cup or 120 g)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/4-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
4 cups fresh tomatoes, diced (we used half roma, half cherry // 2 lbs yield ~4 cups // or sub 28 oz. canned diced tomatoes)
4 large eggs (farm fresh, organic, pasture-raised whenever possible)

Instructions
Heat a large rimmed skillet with a lid over medium heat. Add the olive oil and onion and sauté until just translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic, red bell pepper, and salt. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened and fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, cumin, paprika, and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and stir well to combine. Bring to a light simmer, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are well broken down, the bell pepper is softened, and the flavors have developed. Taste and adjust as needed, adding more cumin for smokiness, red pepper flakes for heat, or salt for overall flavor.
Use the back of a spoon to make four wells in the tomato mixture, then gently crack an egg into each well. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and cover the pan. Cook for 4-6 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs. For over-hard eggs, cook for 8 minutes.

Turn off the heat, sprinkle with basil or parsley and black pepper (all optional), and serve! Pairs well with toasted bread, grilled cheese sandwiches, or roasted potatoes.
Best when fresh. The sauce alone will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. For best texture and taste, we don’t recommend refrigerating or freezing with the eggs.

Bloom Without the Burn: A Natural Approach to Spring Allergies
Spring is a season of breathtaking blooms and busy bees, a time when the world feels alive with color and possibility. Yet alongside that beauty often comes the less glamorous side of the season—sneezing fits, watery eyes, and relentless congestion that persist despite reaching for over-the-counter staples like Allegra or Zyrtec. This is where naturopathic medicine truly shines. Rather than waiting for allergies to take over, now is the time to support your body proactively and strengthen your natural defenses before symptoms peak. And if you’re already in the thick of it, we can help with targeted, integrative acute care to ease discomfort and restore balance. Don’t wait for allergy season to control your days—schedule your visit now and breathe easier this spring.

Glucose tracking is stepping out of the diabetes-only box and into mainstream women’s wellness. Two standout over-the-counter options are Lingo and Stelo—both designed for women who want insight into energy dips, hormone shifts, workout recovery, and weight plateaus.

Lingo, powered by Abbott’s biosensor technology, leans into lifestyle optimization with an app-driven experience that translates glucose data into actionable nudges. It’s designed to help users understand how food, stress, sleep, and exercise impact metabolic flexibility—without the clinical feel.

Stelo, developed by Dexcom, brings the credibility of medical-grade CGM technology into an accessible, prescription-free format. It offers real-time glucose data in a simplified interface, making it appealing for women navigating perimenopause, insulin resistance, or curious about how their morning latte affects their blood sugar curve.

Both devices remove the guesswork—but the vibe differs. Lingo feels like a metabolic coach in your pocket, while Stelo offers straightforward glucose visibility backed by Dexcom’s long-standing CGM expertise. The best choice? The one that fits your lifestyle—and how deep you want to go into your data.

Spring Reignited: Rebirth, Renewal & the Bold Spirit of the Fire Horse

As we step into spring, the shift is undeniable—the days are longer, the light lingers softer, and the air hums with possibility. With the season’s bloom comes the sniffle of allergies and the reminder that renewal isn’t always gentle; sometimes growth asks us to clear, to shed, to breathe deeper. This year’s energy carries the bold, untamed spirit of the Fire Horse—a symbol of passion and forward momentum in the Chinese zodiac—urging us to move bravely rather than cautiously. And with a powerful full Blood Moon lighting the night sky, we’re invited to pause and reflect on the lessons and quiet transformations of the past two months. Spring doesn’t just mark a change in weather; it signals a turning point—an opportunity to honor what’s been, reset our rhythms, and step into the brighter stretch of days with intention and courage.

We are also delighted to welcome a new office assistant to Amber Wellness Group, Maggie. You can read a little more about her below!

With gentle support and guidance,
