Recipe: Avocado Pesto Zucchini Noodles

Summer zucchini noodle recipe
Well, we're officially in the heart of summer now - and it's a hot one! From the West Coast to the East, we've had record-breaking temps for weeks already - including here in Ohio...

And who wants to slave over a hot stove when it's 90+ degrees outside?

This time of year, I always look for really quick and/or cold meals that don't require heating up the house. I found this recipe recently, and it sounds perfect for a hot summer lunch or dinner! Plus, if you're anything like me, you're always looking for ways to use up the bounty of summer veggies...

This dish uses fresh zucchini (and/or cucumbers) and basil, and it looks easy and refreshing. (I haven't made this just yet myself, as our zucchini and cucumbers aren't ready quite yet, but I plan to make it as soon as I've got extras!)

This recipe is also raw, vegan, gluten-free, and Paleo (if you're strict Paleo, you can omit the miso and add an extra TB of olive oil). Check it out below - I hope you like it!

What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine
Welcome back! We enjoyed a lovely long weekend visiting our friend in Tennessee last weekend, including lots of lake time, boating, and swimming, which made the hot weather more bearable. We returned home to an Ohio heatwave, accompanied by a bumper crop of peas and raspberries and basil. It's shaping up to be a bountiful garden year - as long as I can keep everything watered!

Anyway, I realized the other day that although I frequently share information here from a Functional Medicine perspective, I've actually never discussed what it actually is - at least not in depth. Today, we'll dive into the benefits, treatments, and methods of the Functional Medicine approach. Check it out below to learn how this healing modality can complement your health journey.

[Podcast] How to Fix Your Busted Metabolism: A Deep Dive into Functional Medicine and Metabolic Health

6/9/2024

Metabolic health podcast
One of the reasons I became so interested in Functional Medicine is that it is, as Dr. Mark Hyman says, "the medicine of asking why". Rather than simply evaluating a symptom and throwing some pills at it, Functional Medicine takes a curious approach and seeks to find out WHY you're having the symptom, so that it can be addressed at the root level.

This is one thing that I've found so frustrating in my own health journey, as I've started taking steps to begin addressing my chronic acid reflux. The conventional doctors I have met with so far seem to want nothing to do with the problem other than try to prescribe me prescription-strength antacids. (Which is obviously just a band-aid approach.)

Anyway, I'll stay off my soapbox for now, but I'll give you an update on my own health story - and the issues I've had with conventional medicine - later this summer. For now, I'll just say that I'm no longer content to just take the drugs, and soon, I plan to talk to someone who will actually start helping me look for the "why."

If you're dealing with your own chronic health problems that just won’t go away, it might be time to look beyond conventional medicine and dive into the world of Functional Medicine. In the latest episode of The Doctor's Farmacy podcast, Dr. Mark Hyman sits down with Dr. Casey Means to unravel the complexities of metabolic health and how it interconnects with our broader societal issues. This episode emphasizes the importance of looking beyond the status quo to reimagine health in a more holistic and effective way. Check it out below!

    About the Author

    Rose Sarko grew up on a farm in the Ozark mountains learning about healthy living, sustainable organic gardening, and the important connections between the natural world and humanity. Over the past 10+ years, Rose has devoted more and more of her life to learning about health as a holistic system, rather than a static approach to specific illnesses. Rose is of the belief that all parts of the body and mind, just like all parts of the natural world and human society, are connected in an integral way, and learning to work with the entire system as a whole is the best way to true health. She is a Certified Life Coach, and currently lives in Ohio with her husband, 2 barn cats, and a small flock of chickens on their 5-acre homestead.
