Milk...Sort Of…







I just finished my first glass of Trader Joe's Organic Whole Grain Drink.


It's Gluten Free and Dairy Free and fortified with Vitamin D, A, B12, and Calcium. Made from organic brown rice, amaranth, millet, and quinoa….and its pretty good!


I am burning out fast from almond milk, soy milk, and rice milk and this will give me a great option. Some downsides? It has 0 protein. But, it only has 5 grams of sugar. It has 3 grams of fiber and only 2.5 grams of fat.

Menstrual Cramps

Change the way you feel: A series of Tidbits brought to you by Adam Rinde, ND

Menstrual cramping at the onset of menses can be relieved by a simple remedy. According to Tori Hudson, ND, Ginger capsules may do as good or better than an NSAID. Try Ginger Root capsules 400 milligrams three times per day during those first couple days of your menses when you start to have cramps. Ginger decreases inflammation in your body called prostaglandins. When prostaglandin levels elevate in the uterine lining during menses, you may experience cramping. As always check drug-herb interactions or consult with your Naturopathic Physician before starting any new remedy.

Resiliency by Adam Rinde, ND

The quality most indicative of getting through a health crisis or concern is resiliency. It is true that the mind is involved in healing process. Is the mind the only thing that matters in healing? NO. Are our thoughts entirely responsible for our illness? NO! Are thoughts or mind process involved with of our ability to overcome the obstacles we face? I believe so. My patients show me this every day. It is truly remarkable to hear healing stories of patients who absolutely, unequivocally, were not going to let their illness win. Through every set back these folks just dust themselves off and keep moving forward.
