It’s that time of year again: the temperature drops, we don warm socks and sweaters, and we start to hear the familiar sounds of winter: coughs, sneezes and sniffles. Cold and flu season is upon us. To learn how we arm ourselves naturally against winter sickness watch this special message from Dr. Morrison:
A sweet ending to a holiday meal leaves everyone in a festive mood. After the savory dishes and memorable conversations, what holiday dinner doesn’t have some sort of rich chocolate finale?
We all have our favorite holiday foods, the once-a-year treats we look forward to every holiday season. Maybe it’s your aunt’s sweet potato casserole, your mother’s feast of the seven fishes or your sister’s death by chocolate. This month we revisit these three holiday classics and offer up newer versions that are decidedly delicious and happily nutritious.
Every family seems to have their own version of a sweet potato casserole and it usually involves brown sugar and a cloyingly sweet topping of marshmallows. Here we present two versions, both very much geared to the adult palate, but with flavors so yummy kids will go for them too. Both feature a spiral arrangement of thinly sliced sweet potatoes and turnips which looks pretty, and the addition of the turnips cuts some of the overwhelming sweetness. To this ribbon of festive color we add two distinctly different, but equally delicious flavor profiles.

With its nutty flavor and creamy texture, Jerusalem Artichoke Soup feels like an indulgence, but it disguises myriad health benefits in each velvety spoonful. This unusual fall tuber doesn’t turn many heads at the farmer’s market – it looks something like a gnarly potato – and while it won’t win a beauty contest, it does make an irresistible fall soup.
Beyond its velvety texture and gorgeous color, this soup packs health benefits in a delicious blend of sweet and spicy. Carrots are high in Vitamin A and biotin, which makes this soup the natural choice for glowing skin and strong hair and nails!

The persimmon, an often overlooked fall fruit, is luscious and delicious and packs a nutritional punch. High in vitamins A, C, antioxidants like lycopene and zea-xanthin, and minerals potassium and copper. See how beautifully it comes together in this salad, perfect for Thanksgiving.

You’ve probably heard that coconut oil is a superfood that you should incorporate into your diet — how? Let me count the ways! You can roast vegetables in it, cook chicken in it, melt it and add it to smoothies…and you can to make it into treats.
At The Morrison Center, we believe our emotional and physical health are closely linked. Traditional eastern cultures such as the Chinese have long understood this connection and believe that emotions directly correlate to specific organs and disease states.
This delicious dip provides an impressive range of health benefits to support healthy brain function, clear thinking, and enhance one’s mood. Enjoy as a snack with turnip rounds, watermelon radish rounds, carrot and celery sticks or stuffed into red bell pepper.
I am in constant exploration of new ways to enhance health and well being. This is part of who I am and also my job.

Every year, around this time, I have a steady stream of male and female patients come to see me to discuss an often sensitive and embarrassing topic: low libido, and how to improve it.

In last week’s post, Dr. Morrison and Dr. Moreno offered specific diet and supplement suggestions for preventing and treating cold and flu. As a health coach, I work to make our doctors’ suggestions practical and fun for our patients with specific foods and recipes, based on their tastes. This week, I’ll break down their food-related suggestions with specific and tasty tips:
Rose hips are the fruit of the rose, and they pack a huge punch of vitamin C – just 1 tablespoon provides nearly 300 mg! Vitamin C performs myriad actions in the body: in addition to stimulating the immune system, it is involved in the manufacturing of collagen, supports nerve function and acts as a powerful antioxidant.
I wanted to share my mother’s chicken soup recipe, passed down from my Hungarian Jewish grandmother, along with some nutritional facts about each ingredient. This is particularly healing when one has a cold or the flu.

Vegans are always asked: “How do you get protein?”
Detox diets have crossed into the mainstream thanks to celebrity endorsements and marketing campaigns that suggest they lead to quick-and-easy weight loss and symptom relief. What is not being written about detox diets is that once you stop, your weight and symptoms quickly return.
You may be taking dietary supplements because it’s healthy. With so many nutritional supplements available on the market, the claims are confusing. Are these supplements helping or harming you?

When I’m speaking to someone about diet, and especially a gluten-free diet, one of the most frequent question I am asked is “What do you eat?”
