At 37, after suffering two unexplained ectopic pregnancies, weight gain and extreme exhaustion I discovered I have Hashimoto's disease, an inflammatory auto-immune disease (AID). My family history is ripe with all kinds of AID from Parkinson's to Type I diabetes. Although I take a daily dose of medicine in order to regulate my thyroid gland, the gland itself is not the root of my problem.

This declared foreigner, my poor little thyroid gland that sits i...

The Coffee Chronicles: One Girl's Mission for the Healthiest Cup Possible
We've all heard that phrase, "It's not what you said, but how you said it."
Well, that's sort of what it's like with coffee, because we're hearing that it's not so much the coffee that creates problems but, rather, the way it's brewed... and stored... and ground.
As a health coach, I do have my concerns about negative health impacts, but I also know research is pointing toward more health benefits than we first thought. I certainly also emphasize moderation and would never approve of a six-cup-a-day habit.
