Harvest health for yourself and your loved ones by planting vitamins, minerals, enzymes and love into your field. Think of your body as a field, plush with rich vibrant living soil.

Your harvest will be the direct result of what you decide to plant in your field. What will you reap? Field #1 - has energy, vitality, life, joy, peace, stamina, healthy immunity, strength, endurance, flexibility, normal body weight, healthy digestive tract, no inflammation, taking no medicine, no body odor, a normal BMI and no excess body fat. Field #2 - decayed and rotten matter, slow digestion, inflammation, poor strength, decreasing flexibility, body odor, high BMI (Body Mass Index), excess body fat, fatigue, lack of energy, no vitality, on medication, no joy or peace. If you'd like to know your BMI or how to guarantee a Healthy Harvest schedule a 60 Minute Healthy Harvest Consultation.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.
-Mark Twain
Time Management
Have you ever wished for a few more hours in the day? Why is it that some people seem to get everything done effortlessly and others feel that time constantly eludes them? The secret to managing your time well isn't working more hours. It is about prioritizing the important things and learning to use the time you have more efficiently and effectively. The secret is working smarter, not harder.
Some of us, by nature, organize and get tasks out of the way before we relax, while others of us play first and work later. It is important to first recognize which type you are and whether your style is allowing you to have the life you really want. Maybe you are super-organized at work, but burned out because you don't know how to make time for yourself. Maybe you are naturally a less organized person who knows how to relax, but you are dissatisfied because you aren't fulfilling your goals and dreams.
Rather than labeling yourself or beating yourself up, realize that time management is an area of your life that you can strengthen. Like a new muscle, it takes practice and repetition to make it stronger. To help you get started, here are some steps to streamline your days at work and at home. Try the first one or two that jump out at you:
- Allocate time for planning and organizing. - Create to-do lists that are realistic, not intimidating. Use only one to-do list. - Under-schedule your time: Leave time for the unexpected situations and for interruptions. When you estimate how long something will take, add on a third of that time. more.......

Food Focus: Root Vegetables
The roots of any plant are its anchor and foundation; they are the essential parts that support and nourish the plant. Root vegetables lend these properties to us when we eat them, making us feel physically and mentally grounded and rooted, increasing our stability, stamina and endurance. Roots are a rich source of nutritious complex carbohydrates, providing a steady source of necessary sugars to the body. Instead of upsetting blood sugar levels like refined sweet foods, they regulate them. Since they absorb, assimilate and supply plants with vital nutrients, roots likewise increase absorption and assimilation in our digestive tracts.
Long roots, like burdock, carrots, parsnips and daikon radish, are excellent blood purifiers and can help improve circulation in the body and increase mental clarity. Round roots, like turnips, radishes, beets and rutabagas, are nourishing to the stomach, spleen, pancreas and reproductive organs and can help regulate blood sugar and moods, and alleviate cravings.
**ALTHOUGH I EAT A RAW VEGAN DIET I WANTED TO PROVIDE A RECIPE FOR THE WINTER MONTHS FOR THOSE WHO DESIRE TO INCREASE THEIR VEGETABLE INTAKE WITH COOKED COMFORT FOODS** Recipe of the Month: Roasted Root Vegetables Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 25-35 minutes Yield: 4-6 serving, delicious warm or cold
Ingredients:
1 sweet potato 2 parsnips 2 carrots 2 turnips or 1 large rutabaga 1 daikon radish (or substitute/add in your favorites, like squash) olive oil salt and pepper herbs: rosemary, thyme or sage (fresh if possible)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 2. Wash and chop all vegetables into large bite-sized pieces. 3. Place in a large baking dish with sides. 4. Drizzle with olive oil; mix well to coat each vegetable lightly with oil. 5. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs. 6. Bake uncovered for 25-35 minutes until vegetables are tender and golden brown, checking every 10 minutes to stir and make sure veggies are not sticking.
***Just cook until tender, but firm, a little crunch is okay, the goal is to preserve some of the nutrients.
Note: Any combination of vegetables will work. Roasting only one kind of vegetable also makes a nice side dish.
**Root vegetables can be eaten raw to prevent vital enzymes and vitamins from being destroyed due to the heating process. Eating raw root vegetables also provides the fiber necessary to keep you clean on the inside. Try just shredding root vegetables and adding them too salads, pasta meals, wraps, sandwiches and even pizza.**

When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and received the personal attention you deserve?
It's rare for anyone to get an hour to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional. As a Health Coach, I create a supportive environment that will enable you to achieve all of your health goals. I have studied all the major dietary theories and use practical lifestyle coaching methods to guide you in discovering which approach works best for you.
Most approaches to nutrition dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, I coach my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.
No one diet works for everyone. I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I will also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.
Could one conversation change your life? Schedule a limited time free initial consultation ($150 value) with me today!
