Keepin' it short and sweet this week ...

This Week's News Roundup
Wow, so much wisdom being broadcast this week. I told you this week’s News Roundup would be a doozy. Ready?
“Stop eating dessert for breakfast - it's a gluten/dairy/soy hell.” - JJ Virgin
Does sugar have you in its grip?
Yep, it did me too. Still does sometimes.
Week 18 :: The Season is Over
The growing season is over at Cramer Organics. What an experience, one that I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in. I learned so much.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE should get out on a farm and see where your food comes from. Have you ever been on a farm? Do you know the work that goes into growing food and raising livestock?

Here 'tis, the good food word for this week. Actually, not all of it is related to food. Cuz, you know, being healthy is not all about what we put in our mouths.
TSH = Thyroid Stimulating Hooey
I wish I had a dollar for every time one of my clients said, “My doctor tested my TSH and he/she said that my thyroid is fine, but after reading your symptoms list, I’m thinking that I still have a thyroid problem.” Really, your doctor said that your thyroid is fine? Then why are you so exhausted and moody? Why is your hair falling out and your estrogen high? Why are you putting on weight? Why are you having a hard time losing weight despite your best efforts?
Week 17 :: Drawing to a Close (and Time for Some Bluegrass)
It’s almost over. This last week was the next to last week of the 2011 harvest season. I’m still amazed at all that is flourishing on the farm, and although we’re enveloped by the jewel tones of fall and the sweet and earthy aroma of fallen leaves, it’s still been warm enough to wear shorts. I may not be so lucky next week.
