Feel Better Chicken Soup

Ingredients
1–2 tablespoons olive oil
one large onion, diced (or sub 2 fat shallots, or two leeks)
one cup celery, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped
4–8 garlic cloves, rough chopped (I like 8)
4 cups chicken broth or stock
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon white pepper (or use black pepper)
1 1/2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless, skinless ( or use breasts-if very large, cut in half) or bone-in chicken thighs, please see notes )
lemon juice to taste
pinch chili flakes
scallions, cilantro or Italian parsley
a drizzle of toasted sesame oil (optional, tasty)

STOVE TOP INSTRUCTIONS:

*If using skin-on chicken thighs, please see notes. Heat oil in a big pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, celery, garlic and ginger and saute until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Lower heat to med- low and continue sauteeing until golden, 3-4 more minutes.
Add the chicken stock, water, salt, white pepper, bay leaves and skinless chicken. Bring to a boil. Cover, and lower heat so it’s gently simmering, covered for 20 mintues. If using breasts, check at 15. Bone-in thighs may take 25-30.
Test a piece of chicken for doneness by pulling meat apart with two forks. It should come apart easily and look opaque. When done, shred the rest of the chicken, then return to the pot and simmer gently for 5 more minutes.
Squeeze with lemon, taste, and adjust broth. You can add more salt of needed, or if too salty for your taste, water down with a little water. I prefer ours salty, lemony, and unctuous, especially if adding a starch (like rice, noodles or beans) which will temper the salt quite a bit. Up to you. If the soup tastes bland, it needs salt.

Ladle it over cooked rice or noodles or just on its own.
Garnish with scallions or cilantro (or both) and a drizzle of sesame oil if you like and chili flakes (or chili paste or sriracha).

Many women experience tension, pain, or discomfort in the pelvic area at some point in their lives. The pelvic bowl is not only a structural center of the body, but also a core of emotional and energetic holding. When there is imbalance here, it can affect everything from menstrual cycles and digestion to mood, intimacy, and overall vitality.

This month, we’re highlighting how acupuncture can gently support pelvic floor health by improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and helping release long-held patterns of tension. If you experience pelvic or lower back pain, menstrual discomfort, nerve pain, or changes in bladder or bowel function, acupuncture may be a supportive addition to your treatment plan.

Ingredients
2 beets, preferably 1 red and 1 golden, peeled and chopped into 1-inch chunks
1 large carrot, roll cut into 1-inch chunks
3 parsnips, chopped into 1-inch chunks
1 medium sweet potato, chopped into 1-inch chunks
1 turnip, chopped into 1-inch chunks
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crispy Sage and Sage Oil
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
10 fresh sage leaves
Cozy, Grounding, Roasted Root Vegetables
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the beets and carrots on one baking sheet and the parsnips, sweet potato, and turnip on the other.
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with the rosemary, sage, thyme, pinches of salt, and several grinds of pepper. Toss to coat and spread evenly on the baking sheets.
Roast for 25 to 50 minutes, or until tender and browned around the edges. The parsnips, sweet potato, and turnip will bake for less time. The beet and carrot will roast longer.
Make the crispy sage: Line a plate with paper towels. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan until bubbling, add the sage leaves, stir, and cook until crisp, about 1 minute. Remove the leaves from the oil and transfer to the prepared plate to drain. Reserve the oil for serving with the vegetables.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and toss with 1 tablespoon of the sage oil. Transfer to a platter and top with the crispy sage leaves.

As the days become shorter and the air cools, many of us naturally feel a pull to slow down. We’re moving from the bright, active energy of summer and early fall into a season that invites softness, quiet, and reflection. And this year, that shift may feel especially meaningful. The world feels heightened right now, there is collective uncertainty, fear, tension, and emotional overwhelm. It’s understandable to feel unsettled or tender.

In times like these, we need connection and community more than ever. The nervous system is strengthened through safe relationships and being with others who help us feel grounded, seen, and supported. Whether that’s family, close friends, neighbors, or the communities we are intentionally building, we don’t have to navigate this season of life alone.

This time of year asks us to gently soften the pace, to breathe a little deeper, reach for each other, share meals, and find small rituals that remind us of what’s steady and nourishing.

With heart and presence,

Dr. Lisa, Dr. Meghan, Dr. Jade, Kendall, Michelle, Emma, & Kristy

Fall weather brings cozy meals and healthy choices we recommend this One Skillet Creamy Orzo Chicken with Artichoke Hearts

Ingredients
4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on, or use chicken breast, see notes)
salt and pepper (1 scant teaspoon salt, per pound of chicken)
1-2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, rough chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme ( or one teaspoon dried, or sub sage or rosemary)
1 cup orzo pasta
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 1/2 cups chicken broth, more as needed
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sour cream; add more for extra creamy- sub-full-fat plain yogurt or heavy cream
1 1/2 cup artichoke hearts, packed in water, drained. Or sub frozen artichoke hearts, peas, edamame, etc.
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
4-6 thyme sprigs
Lemon zest for garnish

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Pat chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Sear the chicken: In a large (10-11 inch) oven-proof skillet, heat 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the skin side first 4-5 minutes, until beautifully golden and crispy, turn over, and sear the other side 3-4 minutes. Set chicken aside on a plate.
4. Saute: Lower heat to medium-low, and to the same skillet, add a tablespoon of olive oil, onions, garlic and thyme. Saute 4-5 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant. Add the orzo, stirring 1-2 minutes. Add 2 cups of broth, scrape up any brown bits, stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and mustard and bring to simmer, and cover for 4-5 minutes, or until orzo is al dente and has soaked up most of the liquid.
5. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of broth and adjust the salt to taste.
6. Stir in sour cream, spinach, and artichoke hearts. Give the pan a shake, it should level out nicely. If it’s too dry to level out, then add more chicken stock or water to loosen it up.
7. Nestle in the chicken, arrange some the artichokes, so they are showing, and place in the oven and bake uncovered until the chicken registers 170F and the very edges of the pan are bubbling, and the orzo is tender – about 20 -25 minutes. Add the sprigs of thyme. Broil the chicken for a few minutes for extra crispy skin.
8. Garnish with fresh lemon zest.

The fall months bring crisp air, shifting routines, and opportunities to connect with loved ones. It’s also a time when children are often more vulnerable to illness. With the return to school, cooler weather, and more time spent indoors, kids are exposed to seasonal viruses and allergens that can leave their immune systems working overtime. At Amber Wellness Group, we know parents want their little ones to feel strong and well so they can focus on learning, playing, and thriving.

Our team offers pediatric herbal formulas in gentle, alcohol-free syrups designed specifically for children. These formulas are prescription-based and require a visit with one of our providers to ensure the right support for your child’s individual needs. They can be used both proactively, helping to prevent frequent illness, and therapeutically when symptoms arise.

Fire cider is a traditional herbal tonic made by infusing apple cider vinegar with garlic, onion, horseradish, ginger, turmeric, hot peppers, and a touch of honey. This warming blend has been used for generations to support digestion, circulation, and immune resilience.

Make a batch at home, keep it in the fridge, and take a little shot daily to support your immune system or reach for it when you feel the first signs of something coming on. It’s simple, warming, and a powerful way to care for yourself naturally this season.

Ingredients
1/2 cup grated fresh horseradish root
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped garlic
1/4 cup grated fresh ginger
Cayenne pepper, dried or fresh chopped, to taste
Raw apple cider vinegar, to cover
Honey, to taste

Directions
In a half-gallon mason jar, add the horseradish, onion, garlic, ginger, and pepper. Pour in enough vinegar to cover the other ingredients by 3 to 4 inches. Seal the jar with a tight-fitting glass or plastic lid, and set aside in a warm place. Shake the jar every day to aid in maceration.
After 3 to 4 weeks, strain out the herbs and reserve the liquid. Warm the honey so it will mix in well, and add to the vinegar, to taste. The honey should help balance out the fiery ingredients.
Bottle, label, and enjoy! Fire cider will keep for several months unrefrigerated if stored in a cool pantry, but it’s best kept in the fridge.

Perimenopause is a natural transition, but the hormonal shifts that accompany it can bring real challenges. Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels often affect mood, energy, sleep, and even immune health. At Amber Wellness Group, we take a holistic approach to this stage of life, looking beyond symptoms to support the whole person and create a strong foundation for vitality.

Adrenal Support as the Foundation
The adrenal glands play a central role in regulating stress hormones, which directly influence both s*x hormones and immune resilience. When stress is high, hormone balance often suffers. Tools like salivary cortisol testing can provide insight into your body’s daily stress patterns, helping us tailor care to your unique physiology. Nutrients such as B vitamins and magnesium, along with adaptogenic herbs can help restore balance but choosing the right combination is best done with guidance from a provider.

The Gut–Hormone Connection
The gut microbiome is deeply connected to hormone balance. It helps regulate estrogen metabolism, modulates inflammation, and influences how efficiently hormones function in the body. Optimizing digestion and gut health can make a meaningful difference in easing perimenopausal symptoms while supporting overall immune strength.

Perimenopause and Immunity
As estrogen levels shift, many women notice changes in immune function, it. might look like increased vulnerability to stress, sleep disruption, or recurrent illness.

By addressing hormone balance, supporting adrenal health, and nurturing the gut, we can strengthen both resilience and immune defenses during this important life stage.

As the seasons shift, our bodies and minds naturally follow. October invites us to slow down after the high energy of summer, reconnect with our routines, and prepare for the colder, darker months ahead. This is a season of transition, both in nature and often within ourselves. Supporting health during this time means focusing on resilience: building strong immunity, tending to emotional well-being, and caring for the systems that help you feel grounded and energized.

By aligning with the rhythms of the season and giving your body the care it needs now, you’ll be better prepared to stay healthy, balanced, and energized through the months ahead.
With heart and presence,
Dr. Lisa, Dr. Meghan, Dr. Jade, Kendall, Michelle, Emma, & Kristy
