**For additional questions or packages different than listed above (for example- 3 Kids) please contact the office.  We will be more that happy to get back to you on the cost.

You can pay in full or make ½ payment December 23rdand the 2nd½ payment on January 20th at no additional cost.

For 1 adult it averages between $42/month (for 9 visits) and $55/month (for 12 visits). That is cheaper than going out for a nice dinner. By going out one less time a month… you can invest in your health which is what truly matters!

There is no better investment than your own health. We wish insurance would cover nutrition visits (its true HEALTH care right?!) but unfortunately they do not. So for the year 2015 we want to extend the offer above to help you save a little money and help you get/stay healthy for next year! It is not an overnight process and takes more monitoring and time in the beginning but it pays off!!

This is also a great time to invest and save money for children visits too. We want to make it affordable for the whole family, so you can bring in your children and impact their health now and for the future! They are exposed to all the same environmental toxins and they need care too. The great thing about children is that they typically respond faster and need to come in less!

For new (and newer) patients: 12 visits is ideal for you! It keeps you on track so we can monitor your progress and give you the best care possible.

For ‘old’ patients (well not old :) just been with us awhile): 9 visits (or even 12) is perfect for you. 9 appointments allow your progress to be monitored once every 6 weeks. This is the optimal amount of time to check supplements and see if anything has changed.
 
We  hope you have had a healthy and prosperous 2014! If not, don’t wait to make a change… we can help! For those of you who have… it is crucial to stay on the right track and you owe it to yourself to stay healthy!  The changes we have see in patients in 2014 alone have been amazing and so inspiring! For 2015 you DO NOT HAVE TO be  tired, grumpy, have insomnia, get sick all the time, have anxiety, brain fog, thinning hair, PMS, etc!!!!  It can be different!  Make it a GREAT year!

Cocoa Chili

Here is a tasty simple recipe from the Christmas Party we had last night.  I got the recipe from a friend and tried it out for the first time... it was great!!

Ingredients
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • Garlic- 2 cloves minced
  • 3 TBS cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 3 TBS chili powder
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 3 TBS tomato paste
  • 3 cans diced tomatoes
Directions
  • Sautee garlic and onions in coconut oil for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add in tomato paste, cocoa powder and chili powder.  Stir for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add in ground beef and cook for 5 minutes.  (Not all of the beef will cook and that's okay.  The rest will be cooked when you bring the soup to a boil.)
  • Add in diced tomatoes and bring to a boil.  Then simmer for 15 minutes.

I brought it to a boil and then put it in the crockpot on low for the rest of the day.  At first when I tried the soup you could really taste the powder from the cocoa.  However I think the longer it cooks the richer and better tasting it gets!  Enjoy!!

It is free of any sweeteners and great for candida, Paleo and Whole30!  Yayy!

SIMPLE Asian Inspired Dish

You only need 4 ingredients... are you ready!?!  Broccoli slaw (click here for more info and pictures of it), 1-2 eggs, Coconut Aminos (soy sauce replacement), and cashews.

Place broccoli slaw in skillet with coconut oil and cook on medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes (until veggies start to get soft).  Then add 1 to 2 eggs (1 for small skillet and 1/2 container of broccoli slaw and 2 eggs for entire container of broccoli slaw).  Stir around to mix the egg in.  Next add a large handful of cashews.  There is no exact amount... totally your call.  Let everything cook for another 5 minutes or so (stir around occasionally) which allows the cashews to get warm and slightly toasted.

Put in a bowl to eat and top with Coconut Aminos!  That's its and I tell you I think it is so good (and my husband did too!)!  It is like the quinoa fried rice (click here for recipe) but the broccoli slaw acts as noodles much like the quinoa acts as rice. 

You can cook chicken to add in or just eat as is.  I hope you like it is as much as I did!  I am making it for my second night of a row :)  Enjoy!

(It looks so basic but tastes oh so good.  BTW-The little white pieces are eggs.)

Replacement for Soy Sauce

Soy is something I have most people avoid.  It is a phytoestrogen meaning it mimics the estrogen in our bodies.  Since there are so many phytoestrogens and xenoestrogens (these mimic estrogen too- things like pesticides, plastics, etc.) out there that our bodies are constantly getting bombarded by, it is best to limit your exposure.  So if you are drinking soy milk please ditch it and try something like almond milk or coconut milk.  And PLEASE never give any infants formula with soy or soy milk!!
Anyways here is a replacement for soy sauce!  I got this at Whole Foods but they may carry it at Kroger too.   

It tastes great!  Get excited for my simple Asian inspired dish which will be on here soon :)

Buffalo Wild Wings- Healthy Lunch/Dinner Option

Who would ever think this would be a title for one of my blog posts!  But lets face it- going out to eat is inevitable.  The good is that there are options!  I went out with my parents last weekend and this is what I got for dinner... naked chicken tenders and a veggie bowl (carrots and celery).  (Yes I know it isn't probably free range chicken or cooked in coconut oil, but you have to give and take.  You can't be perfect with everything you eat so don't even try!)  It is a great option for those with candida, doing candida clear, Paleo, Whole 30, or just want to eat healthier!   

If you are going there be sure to get the large order of chicken to fill you up!  Now go out, have fun and realize you don't have to be stuck at home to eat healthy!

Simple Lunch/Dinner Idea- Quinoa, Chicken, Red Pepper

From one of our patients at MTCAM
I just made this for lunch and thought I'd share for your Candida clear patients. It's one of my faves! Quick and easy if you've already cooked the quinoa and chicken.  Amounts of each thing are as desired - depends how much you are making. This was my meal for 1.

Ingredients
Spoonful of coconut oil
Garlic powder and sea salt
Strips of chicken from pre-cooked rotisserie
Diced red pepper (about 1/4 of the pepper)
Handful of kale
Pre-cooked quinoa
1/2 avocado

Instructions
Melt coconut oil in pan. Sauté the red peppers first, then add kale until desired softness. Add pre-cooked Quinoa and chicken until warm. Season with sea salt and garlic powder as desired. Serve with cubes of avocado on top and lightly sprinkle them with sea salt. Yum!
