Loving My Self Through a Juice Feast

I'm going on a 21-Day Juice Feast which begins on Valentine's Day. As my friend Philip McCIusky said, "What better way to show 'me' that I love my self to celebrate Valentine's Day!" I would love to go longer (maybe trying 30 days), but my work schedule doesn't permit it. Moreover, being in the food business means there is no way around that - haha. Spring "cleaning" will be a great time for my second one though!

I'm really excited about this. I've been studyi

Habits of Happiness

"What is happiness, and how can we all get some? Buddhist monk, photographer and author Matthieu Ricard has devoted his life to these questions, and his answer is influenced by his faith as well as by his scientific turn of mind: We can train our minds in habits of happiness..."

At 9:31am on July 26, 2009, Kelly said…: Hi Kristen! I just read your fertility blog. Thank you so much for sharing your story. My husband and I starting trying to conceive when I was 30. We finally had our beautiful baby boy at age 35! I had 2 miscarriages prior to him which were very difficult, but at least a sign that I could get pregnant. We ended up going to IVF and doing IUI (no drugs) and it worked successfully twice; the first time ending in a miscarriage (then I got pregnant on my own about a year later ending in a miscarriage) and then about 4 months later IUI was successful! I will keep you in my prayers!! : )

At 10:36am on May 29, 2009, Kelly said…: Thank you Kristen! I used to live in Scottsdale and visit my parents a couple of times a year out there. Do you teach classes or do cooking demos? I checked out your website about a year ago and think you were having something at Whole Foods. Just let me know...I would love to visit! -Kelly

At 12:14pm on May 18, 2009, Reena Kumar said…: Hi Kristen! Yes, I am brand new to this site. I live in Tucson, but will be moving to Phoenix at the end of the summer (for med school). I just recently heard about you and got some of your recipe books, so I am having fun trying new raw creations. It's great to find other raw foodists, especially in my area, as the support is so helpful. :-)

I feel fungal overgrowth is the biggest threat to human health today and it's always wise to win the war on candida. I used to be really into making sure I didn't eat any food that raw vegans considered toxic and be really dogmatic. I prefer livin...

I still have trouble knowing a lot of the theories are true that as so prevalent in the raw food world. Like when a person detoxes that parasites and metals come to the surface of their skin or are expelled from their body in other ways. I was jus...

Can you just eat more volume so you don't binge? also, what about eating really dense herbs like a bunch or two of parsely or basil put into a pesto? Parsely is high in iron so you can make a tabouli with it and use oranges instead of tomatoes- it...
