Cracking Your Clan Code

December 18, 2019 - Posted in Blog, Body Thrive - 0 Comments

What I’m talking about is Cracking Your Clan’s Code. Cracking Your Clan’s Code is about codifying your family values to design the household, future, and relationships you want to experience - day in and day out. Our clans, or families, operate under a set of shared assumptions that influence our unspoken values. I grew up with a family-wide assumption that eating ice cream while watching a screen before bed was a fun family time. And it was! I loved eating chocolate ice cream while watching Family Ties with my siblings and parental units...

Digestives, Apples, + One pot meals

September 26, 2019 - Posted in Ayurveda, Detox, Edible Plants, Health and Wellness - 0 Comments

I’m proud to say that my family once nursed an old apple tree back to life. When we moved to our house in Tetonia, ID, we had a withered, gnarly, severely old, dehydrated apple tree. We watered it for a few years before it sprouted leaves again. Then, a few years later, it grew an apple. A few years later, we harvested a few brimming bags. I reinforced something I already knew: don’t give up on nature … she’s hardy. Anyone with an apple tree knows they provide an insane amount of...

Signs You Should Detox

September 24, 2019 - Posted in Ask Cate, Blog, Detox - 10 Comments

I'm often asked, "How do I know if I should detox?" If you were raising on Corn Flakes and cow's milk from the grocery store, chances are your parents didn't instigate seasonal detoxing for the household. Chances are detox is not a bi-annual ritual for you. If you do detox seasonally or annually, you are answering the question yourself. You detox when you're over your current state of affairs. Perhaps you detox to show the door to the extra 5 lbs., or your eyes are getting itchy with allergies, or...

By Gin Burchfield Eewy, gooey, toxic sludge. Sticky, thick and yellow. Waste. No, I’m not on the wrong holiday, and this isn’t a throwback to Halloween. This is AMA.

Expect to have health, energy and balanced emotions in a body that is ama free. Understanding the Ayurvedic concept of ama, how it is formed, its signs and symptoms, will help you to...

The Joy of Metabolizing Your Own Cellulite with Intermittent Fasting

September 14, 2019 - Posted in Blog, Detox - 0 Comments

I hate to admit it, but I’ve only recently gotten a handle on metabolizing cellulite. And if you haven’t yet experienced this, let me tell you — it’s pure joy to metabolize your own cellulite. I had excessive meda dhatu — fat tissue (see Dr. Lad’s table below). We’ve all had that experience in life where too much = poor quality. Now, it’s not like I carried much extra weight or had handfuls of cellulite. But, between you and me, it was there. I’ll let you know what I changed to burn...
