In order to create wellness, the human body must maintain a slightly alkaline pH balance, which ensures that there is adequate oxygen in the blood for cells to function normally.

By consuming too many acidic foods, such as meats, dairy, vegetable oils, and even certain grains and legumes - without properly balancing them with alkaline foods - you could be increasing your potential for disease.

Some of the symptoms of an overly acidic body include inflammation, digestive issues, Candida, irritability, low energy, and immune deficiency.

Joshua Rosenthal, Founder, Director, and Primary Teacher, of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, shares his wisdom about creating a healthy, happy life that helps transform the world.

Spring is a season of rebirth and renewal. You can see the first signs outside –green leaves, growing grass, and early flowers blossoming.

This season is also commonly thought of as a time for cleansing. Many people decide that they are going to go on a fast or detox, especially if they have put on weight during the winter months. Some clean clutter from their homes. Others transition into a new job or career.

I’ve been working in the field of nutrition for more than 25 years, and I know that being healthy is a daily practice. So is living a life that you want.

You can think of spring as a time to renew all of your biggest dreams and goals. Start planting the seeds of your dreams to make them happen. But you need to take daily action to make progress.

Have you ever heard this saying: Do what you love and the money will follow?

It means that when you do work that you love, you will naturally succeed. That’s because if you love your work, it is likely that what you do is aligned with who you are and what you value.

Maybe you’ve heard this expression and wondered, “That sounds great, but how does it really work? How can I really create a career that’s exactly the way I envision it?”

Arthritis, diabetes, psoriasis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, Crohn’s disease, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism … these are just a few of the more than 100 different autoimmune diseases that affect 24 million Americans today. Autoimmune diseases, which occur when the immune system has gone awry and attacks its own tissues, now affect more women than heart disease and breast cancer combined.

While many doctors typically treat autoimmune disorders with powerful medications that shut off parts of the immune system, Integrative Nutrition guest speaker Dr. Susan Blum offers a different guide to self-healing in her new book The Immune System Recovery Plan. Dr. Blum is an assistant clinical professor in the Department of Preventive Medicine at Mount Sinai who cured herself of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis through a functional medicine approach.
