Simla’s Cooling Summer Soup

Cooling. Easy. Delicious. Perfect after a long day at the beach or just to cool off from the summer heat. I created this recipe after craving watercress (yes, really!) for two days one recent summer.

Its ingredients are naturally cooling and support the usually overworked liver in detoxing, while providing lots of anti-oxidants to help prevent premature aging and natural body wear and tear. The healthy fats from the avocado will gently satiate you and are anti-inflammatory and happy-chemical-producing mini miracles.

Serves 2

Ingredients

½ small bunch of watercress

2 small green zucchini (peeled, if not organic)

Simla’s Story :: Part 2 :: Anger & Bewilderment

Author’s note: This is the second installment in a series of articles about how I have healed from several health conditions and come to live very well with my autoimmune conditions, which are in full remission as long as I respect my triggers. The specific autoimmune conditions I will be writing about are:  fibromyalgia; undifferentiated connective tissue disorder; and, immunotoxicity. The other health conditions I will refer to in this context are:  chronic fatigue syndrome; adrenal fatigue; asthma; chronic bronchitis; pneumonia; food and environmental allergies; chronic bronchitis; multiple chemical sensitivity; lyme disease (also referred to as lyme’s disease); medication-induced hepatitis and pancreatitis; IBS; digestive issues; leaky gut; dysbiosis; candida; heavy metal toxicity, and others. While it’s personally difficult to relive a lot of this through the act of writing, I hope to provide the information and inspiration I wish I had while I was going through this life-altering experience. I write from the perspectives of a patient, a busy professional, an entrepreneur, a wife, a daughter, and as a certified health coach and nutrition expert, which is what my experience has led me to become. I’d love to hear from you if this proves helpful to you – you can email me at hello(at)enjoydelicioushealth.com.

Simla’s Story Healing from Autoimmune: Series Starting Week of 12/21/2009

[UPDATE: I changed my start date to the week of 12/21/2009. With how busy this month has been for me, I haven't found the head space or quiet, contemplative time to do this type of writing. I will also be clarifying what I mean by "healing" at that time, as this question was raised by a couple of readers recently. Until then, have a wonderful holiday season! Be well ~ Simla ]

From Invisible to Invincible ™ Part I – a.k.a Healing from Fibromyalgia and Much More

I’ve been procrastinating again. I finished a book, started another one, woke up at 5am because I had half a glass of red wine last night for the first time in ages, lay awake in bed for two hours, worked out for 1.5 hours morning, chatted with a neighbor, chatted with another neighbor, made tea, made breakfast, watched a cat catch and eat a bird, doodled on some other social networking site. Now I’m writing this paragraph. Everything to keep myself from starting to write about what I really need to write about: my how-I-got-really-really-sick-and-how-I-got-well-again story.

Simla's Story: Healing from Multiple Autoimmune Conditions. A Radio Interview with Alice Moore on Energy Talk Radio.

It’s up ! It’s up!

Alice and I had so much fun on this radio interview (you’ll hear a lot of laughing) and now I’m happy to share it with you. We chat about my experience healing from several autoimmune and other health conditions and explore the topic of food as medicine.

Click here to stream or download the MP3 recording of the show. I come on around minute 10.

Let me know if you have questions or suggestions on what you’d like me to share in future radio shows, teleclasses, or in my monthly eZine.

Enjoy!
