‘Twas the weekend after Thanksgiving and all through the house, not a creature was stirring — not even a gardener. I should probably do something productive, but what? Should I be good and do a little light weeding? Maybe I can muster up the energy to plant a few more bulbs. Come spring, I’ll be happy I did. Then again, I could make notes of my gardening successes and not-so-great horticultural decisions. “I know,” I say to myself, “this weekend I’ll revel in what I don’t have to do in the garden”.

I am a huge fan of Michael Pollan, journalist, activist, and author of numerous books, including The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food. Eleven years ago, he won me over when I read his piece in the New York Times Magazine, called Unhappy Meals. Pollan's essay had a profound impact on me and was one of my inspirations for becoming a nutrition coach. He writes about food in a way that makes sense and simplifies the seemingly overwhelming and over complicated topic of what we should eat. In a nutshell, Pollan advises us to eat food, not nutrients. I live by this principle and teach my clients to do the same. 

The San Lorenzo River originates in the seeps and streams that form in the steep canyons and redwood forests above Boulder Creek. These ephemeral water sources run like tiny capillaries until their life force creates the river, the lungs of the watershed.
