I put together a list of natural ways to support your lungs after smoke inhalation, whether you live in an area close to the fires or in the path of the air currents spreading the smoke across the states. I am thinking of all those affected and sending love.

Over the past couple of years, I have had the privilege of working with some smart, cool, and conscientious teenagers. Each teenage client has come to me with different health and wellness goals: nutrition to support energy and optimism, how to balance school, jobs, studying, and having a healthy social life. In this blog post, I highlight my very first two clients and their stories.

I compiled a guide of the top common goals my teenage clients have had over the years. It is available on my website and includes a 55-minute coaching call to go over the info and zero in on the areas where your student would like more support. The practical, easy-to-implement guide addresses nutrition, healthy snack options to make in the dorm/apt, the importance and steps to achieve the best quality sleep, self-care methods, stress management techniques, and how to create a healthy living space.

One of the ways I listed on how to protect and support your lungs is by eating more garlic, based on a study that found that participants who consumed raw garlic regularly (2x+/week) had a 44% decreased risk of developing lung cancer than those who consumed it less than twice a week. This PESTO recipe is a good and delicious way to incorporate more garlic into your diet. I hope you enjoy!
