Herbal Essences has a new owner
I have Herbal Essences on my mind because I just saw the news that Proctor and Gamble are selling the brand to Coty. That’s right according to this story P&G is selling off some of their lesser performing brands so they can focus on their better performing (or bigger) brands. They seem to be going for a less is more strategy.
Anyway, in what is rumored to be a $12 billion deal Coty will be purchasing brands like Hugo Boss perfume, Gucci, Wella and Clairol hair care plus Max Factor and Cover Girl makeup. Th...

Lemon-Fennel Chicken with Mushrooms & Scallions
For years, my friend Susan (of the famed Chicken Salad Susan) has been making her Italian grandmother’s sautéed chicken breasts with breadcrumbs, parmesan and fennel. Not too long ago, she was also on a diet program that included an amazing recipe for pan fried lemon chicken. I decided to combine both her recipes, and now have a killer entree that I’ve made almost weekly since she first shared it with me.
LEMON FENNEL CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS & SCALLIONS
You can just make the chicken breasts, and you’ll have an amazing entree. Or just cut up the chicken breasts, skipping the breading, and have anoth...

Broiled Salmon with Mushrooms and Farro – Inspired by Lyfe Chef Art Smith
One of the highlights of my visit to the Medicine X Conference in Palo Alto in September, in addition to my poster presentation and meeting all the amazing e-patients, docs and tech gurus there, was dinner at Lyfe Kitchen.
Founded by former McDonalds CEO Mike Roberts, Lyfe (which stands for Love Your Food Everyday) is the first of a growing chain of healthy, pretty fast food franchises that “put sustainability, our planet and our employees first”.
As soon as I entered Lyfe, I was hooked.
There was a gorgeous live herb garden forming the centerpiece of the place and lending a deliciously fresh scent to the roo...

Think “heart healthy eating” is bland and boring? Think again. February is “Heart Health” awareness month.

I know most people aren’t going to eat salads all the time, which is why I want to share my “heart smart” take on some of my comfort favorites, chili and pizza.

Can you avoid grains and gluten on a vegan diet?
On my Facebook page, an ever-increasing number of people have asked me about whether or not a gluten-free and grain-free diet, the Grain Brain diet, is compatible with a vegetarian and/or vegan one. Many interpret my call to avoid grains, something that has become a staple in vegetarian and vegan diets, as an endorsement of the meats, proteins, and fats individuals on these types of diets avoid. However, though I may not be a vegetarian or vegan, there is certainly no reason one can’t be a vegetarian/vegan and on a Grain Brain-friendly diet.
In fact, it’s quite easy to be on a vegetarian or vegan diet that is gluten-f...

Marvelous Mushroom Meal Makeovers (Say That 5 Times Fast!)
We all know most of us should be eating more vegetables, but sometimes it’s easier said than done. One of the ways I recommend getting in more servings is by incorporating them into meals you already love. People love burgers, meatballs, and tacos — myself included! By finding ways to add in veggies, like mushrooms, you can help improve the moisture and taste of these dishes while increasing the vegetables and making the meal healthier.
In honor of September being National Mushroom Month I was on Let’s Talk Live DC this week sharing ideas for mushroom meal makeovers. You can watch the full clip here, or c...

Can magic mushrooms really lighten skin?
BC says…I read this statement on another beauty blog: “Notorious for their hallucinogenic properties, mushrooms are more than just a mind-alerting substance. They also have powerful beautifying benefits!” This sounds like an urban myth to me what’s the scoop?
The Beauty Brains respond:
Scoop-wise we agree this does sound far-fetched but, even though the details are a bit screwed up, there is some true science behind using mushrooms for beauty benefits.
Mushroom extract does have skin lightening properties…
The product in question is the Elure Skin Brightening System which features Melanozyme,...
