I too would like to find a candy that I feel good giving to trick-or-treaters. I searched the stores and combed the internet, and came up with this breakdown of the options: Dr. Doni’s key to eating candy! Organic candy made with cane juice is better then high fructose corn syrup. Try organic lollipops by www.yummyearth.com. Candies…
Watch out! The viruses are out! I’m hearing about cold/flu symptoms from patients…sore throat, runny nose, cough…and would love to help you avoid it and/or fight it off right away. Of course it is when stress is at it’s highest that you will be most susceptible. Makes me think of the times I had the…

As you will discover here, Gluten Free Quest puts the focus on helping you to establish a new way of eating – gluten free…
I admit, frozen blueberries are the only fruit I eat. I know it may come as quite a surprise that a naturopathic doctor is not eating fruit, especially considering the reports from the CDC that Americans don’t eat enough fruit. For me, as for 30% of people, fruit is not healthy due to Fructose Malabsorption (FM).…
Most times it is the last thing on our minds as we rush around from one “to-do” to the next. Just when business is wrapping up for the day, it is time to transition to “mom-mode” or to catch up on shopping, cleaning and/or laundry. Who has time to stop and eat? Let alone figure…

I receive reports of effectiveness from patients all the time, like this one… “I just realized that I made it through the whole winter without having to be on antibiotics once! It’s been over 15 years since that happened. I usually end up with a respiratory or sinus infections. That’s so amazing.” J.H., in CT…
One thing I never leave home without, is a Cherry Pie LaraBar! This week, while attending the national naturopathic convention, I'll eat half of a LaraBar a couple times a day, especially while on the plane. They are gluten, dairy and sugar free. You can find LaraBars at health food stores, like St. James Natural…
During a fabulous conversation with a friend, and patient, she shared with me that she recently avoided getting a cold that everyone around her caught! Just a few months ago, for this same friend, every virus that came along turned into a two-week recovery process from feeling unwell. What was the difference? For the past three…
Put together with just a few items I always keep on hand, and with lots of taste! Arugula salad is a common meal for me. 1/2 cup fresh, organic arugula 1 Tb organic cilantro (a special treat from the farmers market) 1/4 organic avocado 2 slices free range sliced turkey (or wild salmon) 1 Tb…
Can it be? A restaurant in my own kitchen? I am so happy to share a great new resource I found. I discovered a service that I quite frankly can’t imagine how I previously lived without. I was introduced to a wife and husband team, Shannon and Dino Tate-Giordano, who grocery shop and cook healthy…
