Thrilled to announce that I’m giving away my New York Times bestselling book to folks who enter to win one of the 10 copies I’m giving away. I’d love to see you there! Please share the love with your awesome group of women, mamas, hot chicks, and nerds. My goal is to change the conversation [...]
Feel fat or sluggish? It may not be YOU, it may be your glucose level and a hot little hormone called insulin. I find that measuring my fasting glucose is an incredibly helpful metric. When I was a chunky monkey and stress-crazed mom in my thirties, I discovered that my fasting glucose was 110. I [...]
We officially kicked off the Dr. Sara Detox Challenge this week, which I consider to be ground zero of hormone balancing and creating radical health. I’ve gotten about 100 questions in our first day about what you can eat, what you can’t eat, how you feel groggy from getting off of caffeine. I know how [...]
A Band Aid…for Your Lungs It’s spring. Which means that along with flowers blooming and “beach-body” resolutions looming, allergies are hitting. Hard. As rates of asthma and allergies rise each year, so does the amount of money put into treatment. Breathing is about the most basic function needed for survival, so it’s not surprising that [...]

But our great-grandmother, when she stepped off the plane from California, was pulling a suitcase full of kale, fish oil, wheat berries and [...]
It’s the end of February and while it’s still deep winter in many parts of the country, here in California we’ve had just enough sunny days to remind us that spring is coming. And with spring comes summer. And with summer comes…swimsuits. Are you reaching for a puffy jacket right now too? I wish that [...]
