I like to think of our body as a thriving village, filled with countless “villagers” who work around the clock to keep us alive, performing well, thinking clearly, feeling balanced, and—bottom line—healthy.

So if we think about our body as a haven for “villagers” that work hard to keep us healthy, we naturally can think of our mouth as the “golden gate” of entry into this village.  

We certainly want to control what goes through that golden gate, so our villagers are getting everything they need to perform their jobs.  We want to give them the best tools to optimize their work environment. 

We’re headed into the heart of summer, and with that comes an abundance of fresh produce. The peak of freshness equates to the most remarkable tastes. And there is nothing better than local.

But sometimes we can get a little stuck figuring out what to do with it all…
