Root vegetables ground the nervous system and create stability in the mind and body during late fall early winter. Beets are rich in B vitamins, calcium, iron, and antioxidants like alpha lipoic acid (ALA). These support healthy liver function and bile flow. Which supports healthy digestion, balanced stomach acid, liver detoxification, and fat metabolism.

Warm and grounding this butternut squash soup can be enjoyed sweet or savory satisfying your tastes this fall.

The sweet taste of the coconut milk and sweet potato blends together nicely with the unique taste of red curry paste. For a warm and soothing soup on those cold fall days.

One of my favorite things about this time of year is apples. When they begin to come out towards the end of August, I eat them until October. Apples remove heat that accumulates in the body from summer, acting as a purgative promoting elimination.
