New Concierge Health & Wellness Service

Concierge Health & Wellness Service

Ever wished you had access to a natural health doctor outside of a regular appointment? Someone of whom you could guiltlessly ask your health questions about anything from adapting recipes for special diets, to cold and flu remedies, to advice for insomnia or ADHD, without paying all the fees for a private appointment? Then Elizabeth’s new Concierge Health &  Wellness Service is for you.160474902

I am now offering a lower-cost alternative to booking an hour-long appointment with me in the form of my “Concierge Health & Wellness Service.” This service consists of a private Yahoo group in which I will answer any and all questions about natural health or healthy eating as well as welcome sharing from the community about what has worked for them.

For a small monthly fee you will enjoy unlimited access to natural health support from a board-certified naturopathic doctor via the listserv as well as the learning shared by the online Concierge membership. Sign up now with no long-term commitment and receive insider’s access to this private community! (Your community invitation will arrive separately after purchase.)

Become an Early Adopter and Get a Forever Discount!

I am offering a special early-adopters discount to readers of my blog of 50% off the regular monthly price if you sign up between now and January 15th. Anyone who signs up at this price now will be able to stay at this bargain rate indefinitely though there is never any commitment and you can cancel at any time. Please check it out and sign up if you’re interested. Even if you just wanted to have one question answered, you would receive the benefit of my time and knowledge for less than $20 rather than purchasing an entire private hour from me for much more.

SIGN UP HERE.

There’s no risk; you can cancel at any time. But if you’ve ever found yourself wondering if there might be an easy remedy out there that could help you feel better, this opportunity can only be viewed as an incredible bargain.

The coupon code for 50% off the regular price is: EARLY50. (valid only December 11, 2014-January 15, 2015)

If you’ve worked with me in the past, here’s your opportunity to continue working with me for a fraction of the cost of another package of services. I want members to use me to achieve or maintain your health; look at me as your natural health resource for personalized health care advice in a group setting.

And it goes without saying that questions about Glorious One-Pot Meals, food, or cooking in general will be welcome in the community as well!

This type of online community offers the invaluable opportunity to learn from and be supported by others going through the same health challenges you are. There is power in being surrounded by like-minded people who are taking control of their own health.

I hope to see you online in the group!

Can Chicken Be Bone-in and Skin-on in Glorious One-Pot Meals?

Reader question: Are meat and poultry always supposed to be boneless, and poultry skinless?  I tried poultry (large pieces)with bone and skin intact, and they took 60 minutes to cook.  (I removed the vegetables @ 45 min.)  ~ Elaine, Washington, D.C.

Hi Elaine- Thanks for asking as this is actually a question that comes up frequently in my live Glorious One-Pot Meals classes.Glorious One-Pot Meals

Yes, you can always choose to use skin-on, bone-in pieces of chicken in a Glorious One-Pot Meal, but yes, it might add cooking time to your meal. I’ve had the best results when cooking with bone-in, skin-on thighs and legs, but have also cooked breasts successfully and even a whole fryer using my infusion technique. The secret is to wait, without peeking into the closed pot, until the aroma of a fully-cooked meal escapes the oven and alerts you that the meal is ready.

With infusion cooking, the ingredients don’t cook until every item inside the pot has come up to cooking temperature, so you likely did not need to remove the vegetables early (I wouldn’t have).

If you’re not doing the whole bird, I would suggest separating the thigh from the leg, or the leg from the breast for best results.

I hope this is helpful. Happy cooking!

Positive Youth Development: A new model of youth reform

For too long we have treated wayward youth as pariahs, handicapping their chances for becoming contributing members of society ever afterward. My husband, Dr. Edward Cope, works with an amazing program called Rite of Passage that is doing brilliant work with adjudicated youth and offering us all hope for the future. Check out his recent TED talk on Positive Youth Development and be prepared to have your mind changed about how we should deal with juvenile delinquents in order to create a better society.

Natural Anti-inflammatory Remedies

Patient question: Is there an anti-inflammatory you recommend for skiers knees? I have osteoarthritis. I have only been taking Target Tylenol and Imitrex for pain. ~Lorie A., Denver, CO

Have you tried turmeric milk? It is an amazingly potent anti-inflammatory. Start with high quality turmeric (I buy it and black peppercorns at the Savory Spice Shop), and use your safe milk substitute. Here is the recipe for turmeric milk.

Don’t use this as a prophylactic or an everyday supplement, but definitely use it when the knee is acting up and painful. You can do it several days in a row if needed.

Homeopathic arnica, taken internally as pellets dissolved in clean water, can help reduce inflammation as well as heal from bruises, sprains, or overuse after activity.

Natural Topical Remedies for Inflammation

Hot Spice & Ice
An effective muscle rub without petrochemicals.

In terms of topical remedies, I like the Weleda Arnica massage oil as a great topical pain reliever. Shake the bottle a few times to activate the remedy with kinetic (movement) energy before rubbing it on the affected area. You can alternate it with a magnesium gel or oil applied topically. Most people are magnesium-deficient and will find some relief by absorbing magnesium directly through the skin.

I also like Hot Spice and Ice, which is like an Icy-Hot-type product, but without petrochemicals. It contains capsicum (to generate warmth and increase circulation) in combination with Arnica and Cajeput (to reduce inflammation). Wintergreen, peppermint and eucalyptus are added to reduce pain.
