Tip of the Month

Delicious, Nutritious Pumpkin Seeds
By Autumn Elias, LMT

Pumpkin Seeds are packed full of Omega Fatty Acids which are important for proper immune function, healthy skin and digestion. They are an awesome source of protein and can help regulate blood sugar levels too! Here’s a quick and easy recipe for you.

Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
Makes 8 servings Ingredients:

  • Seeds from 2 medium
  • pumpkins
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp celery salt
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

Heat oven to 300F. Remove the seeds and discard the pulp. Spread the seeds (no need to rinse) evenly on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until dried, about 1 hour. Toss all ingredients together in a large skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally over medium heat until seeds are lightly toasted, about 3 minutes, and enjoy!

Tip of the Month

Femmenessence MacaHarmony by Natural Health International!

MacaHarmony is made from a patented form of maca called Maca-GOª. This concentrated form of maca has undergone rigorous testing showing it is one of the most powerful adaptogens yet identified.

Though it's been used for generations, maca in Maca-GO form has undergone extensive research and toxicology testing to promote elite hormone balancing properties thereby regulating menstrual cycles, decreasing physical and emotional symptoms of premenstrual tension, and optimizing the potential to become pregnant.

MacaHarmony also safely provides an extra boost of energy without the jitters, clear-headedness, and improved concentration.
