Learn how to make the most delicious, anti-inflammatory turmeric-ginger broth—one that not only warms your body, but soothes your nervous system and stimulates healthy digestion from the inside out. I love adding chopped fresh turmeric to chicken soup, but this recipe takes the turmeric content and bioavailability to a whole new level. I’ve created a richly nourishing broth that uses both fresh turmeric and dried, powdered turmeric, layered with warming ginger, healing aromatics, and nourishing fat to support your body’s healing pathways on every level. This isn’t just soup—it’s liquid gold for your gut, immune system, and soul.

If you’ve been searching for a bright, sugar-free cranberry sauce that’s easy to make and deeply nutritious, this fresh raw version is such a gem. It comes together in minutes and preserves the full spectrum of antioxidants found in uncooked cranberries, especially ellagic acid, a powerful compound linked to cellular protection and detox support. Serve this tart and tangy cranberry sauce with your holiday turkey, baked salmon, or winter squash and bean casserole. It's also delicious on top of pumpkin pie!  Did you know that cranberries are one of the most concentrated natural sources of ellagic acid? This powerful antioxidant and anti-cancer compound is especially abundant in berries like cranberries, raspberries, wild strawberries, and blackberries—those bright, tart fruits that make your mouth pucker—and is also present in smaller amounts in foods such as pomegranates, pecans, and walnuts.

Sometimes when the weather cools it is easy to get into the habit of eating more dense, cooked foods. For some people this is just what they need. But for others, a balance between raw and cooked is best. We each are unique, and so should be our diets. This colorful and nutrient-dense salad provides some key ingredients to support healthy detoxification. The dressing is delicious and can be used as a dip for raw veggies or used to top your favorite salads! I've even used it to top steamed vegetables! In functional medicine, detoxification is often considered "biotransformation" because our bodies will transform harmful substances into less harmful substances and then excrete them from the body.

Even though it may be winter, you can still eat the colors of the rainbow and give yourself a hearty dose of powerful phytonutrients! Consuming these deep red, magenta, and orange colors you see in this salad means that you are flooding your body with plant chemicals that prevent DNA damage, stimulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, block substances we ingest from becoming carcinogens, and of course mop up free radicals. If you haven't worked with fennel before then you are in for a treat. This delicious vegetable adds complex flavors to this salad. I love eating it raw but it's also delicious braised or roasted!
