How to eat your way through Mexico City—the vegetarian way

6 min read

November 15, 2018 at 01:00AM Mexico City is a hot (as in temperature and high vibe) international tourism destination at the moment, and the cultural epicenter is only forecasted to grow in popularity for years to come. Beyond access to ancient ruins and world-class museums, Mexico’s capital is home to a lush climate that supports a variety of local fruits and vegetables that color its rich traditional dishes, which—it’s worth noting—are abundant just about everywhere. With street vendors hawking affordable, authentic, finger-licking meals on nearly every block, it’s impossible to go hungry here…if you follow the meat-loving paleo diet, perhaps.

Hey, just consider it a welcome reason to freshen up your Spanish skills. (Pro tip: Practice while exercising because the multitasking has been shown to improve foreign-language recall.)

Continue Reading… Have you heard of seed cycling? It’s one of the best “food as medicine” tools for getting your cycle back on track, balancing your hormones, and making those period problems disappear. As a naturopathic doctor, women’s health expert, and author of the upcoming book Beyond the Pill, I frequently suggest seed cycling to my patients and even do it myself. Seed Cycling 101: Here’s what it can do for your hormone health. But how does it work—and who might want to try it out? One of the best things about seed cycling is that it can be beneficial at any stage in a woman’s life, but I often suggest it to women who are going through the process of coming off hormonal birth control as a way to get their natural cycle back and start improving their hormonal health naturally. I’ve seen women struggling with symptoms of PMS, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), post-birth control syndrome (PBCS), irregular periods, acne, and breast tenderness benefit from adding seed cycling to their routine. As I guide you in how to get started with seed cycling, I am going to reference a 28-day cycle. But please note, you may have a cycle that is longer or shorter. In fact, only a small percentage of women have 28-day cycles, so please don’t
