atural Awakenings of Tucson is 10 years old!

Ten years is a long time. So much about all of us, and this magazine included, has grown and changed since 2007, but doesn’t it still feel like it was also just yesterday? I am so grateful for the support of this community for the last 10 years, and I expect to be going strong into the future, providing the Tucson area with the resources you seek and value most along your never-ending journey to eat well, live simply and be happier.

Holly Baker, publisher

To celebrate a beautiful 10 years together, I’d like to formally invite you all (yes, you) to party in honor of the health and happiness of our Tucson community. Meet us from 1 to 4 p.m., November 12, Reid Park Rose Garden. We’re expecting a sunny day at a wonderful venue, music, healthy food, raffle prizes and great fun with friends both old and new.

While talking with a mentor of mine recently, he reminded me of the value of participating. If you’re invited, go—participate. Don’t stand on the sidelines of your life. Sure, you may be tired, not feeling your best or simply nervous to do something new or interact with new people. But imagine what could happen if you go out and participate. You could enjoy great food, great drinks, meet new people and have lots of fun. Is the alternative really a better option—staying home and eating leftovers? ​Will you feel good about your decision the next day?

We live in a very isolated, solitary world. But we’re herd animals. People that have friends and feel a part of a larger community are happier, so don’t isolate yourself. Whether it’s a fun​d​raiser, business event, social gathering, or, say, the Natural Awakenings Tucson 10th Anniversary Party, go and participate! ​Always remember: the next person you meet has the potential to change your life.

As the old adage goes, “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll get the same result.”

newsbriefs Lift Your Mood with Juliana Ashe

J

uliana Ashe has offered alternative therapies to relieve stress and pain for over 15 years. As a professional cosmetologist for over 20 years, the one common thread she noticed, in thousands of people who came to see her, is that most people experience pain—either psychological, emotional or physical.

Ashe is an empath. She feels the pain of others, even though she herself Juliana Ashe is not going through the same situation. She has a gift, as a practitioner, for allowing light and frequency to move through her to the client, to re-balance, heal and align the body, mind and spirit. Her conscious method for clearing has been developed over 15 years of yoga and meditation practice.

“To truly relax, one needs to be calm, clear and centered, in alignment with complete well-being,” says Ashe.

“This is accomplished through the heart. Your heart does more than pump blood through your veins. It is the place of peace.” She assists the client in “holding” a greater vibration, using a hands-on or hands-above the body technique. Sessions last 30 minutes to one hour.

Location: 4231 E. Havasu Rd., Tucson. For more information, call 520-639-6080 or visit YourMoodLifter.com.

Light Touch Family Chiropractic Opens in Tucson

D

r. Carmen Mazza, Network Chiropractor, recently opened her practice, Light Touch Family Chiropractic, in Tucson. She previously resided on the east coast, where she took care of generations of families. She utilizes Network Spinal Analysis, a gentle chiropractic healing technique, and has been working with babies, children and adults for over 20 years.

“Network Spinal Analysis is proCarmen Mazza foundly powerful. As patients begin to receive care, they start to notice a change in themselves with regard to how they react to, process or recover from stressful situations,” describes Mazza. “In most cases, patients say they have greater ease and calm. They observe quicker recovery from physical stresses that were hard to recover from in the past. It is especially helpful for the release of trauma patterns that may be locked into the body-mind.”

A very gentle technique, it consists of a series of light contacts with the thumb in order to unravel tension that’s been stored in the spine and muscles. As tension patterns begin to unravel, patients may experience a number of different things, including: increased range of motion; deeper respiration and awareness of breath; ease of physical or emotional symptoms; greater flexibility; inner peace; improved quality of sleep; a greater awareness of one’s body, mind or spirit; softer, healthier muscle tone; a desire to eat differently or to begin an exercise program.

Ozone Therapy for Joint Pains

W

hether suffering from mild joint pain or a chronic joint condition, Ozone Joint Therapy (OJT) may be the solution. Ozone therapy can fix the cause, versus just bandaging the symptom.

OJT is a homeopathic/oxygen injection developed for common and chronic conditions including neck, back, knee and hip issues.

Ozone therapy can also be used to release scarring. The injection consists of vitamins, nerve supporting nutrients, homeopathics, anesthetic that calms the nerves and Ozone. This mixture causes tissue and joint repairs by tightening lax structures, and repairing partially torn connective tissues and ligaments. The pain and inflammation cycle is stopped as well.

This therapy is considered a non-surgical ligament reconstruction and is a permanent treatment for chronic pain. There is a 75 percent chance that chronic pain sufferers can become permanently pain-free within four to six treatments.

Treatment Comparisons OZONE CORTISONE Fixes the cause

Treats the symptoms

Strengthens bones, tendons, muscles

Rebuilds ligament tissues

Over time, weakens joints

Boosts the immune system

Beauty, Sweetness and Sound

E

VISIT US ONLINE:

NaturalTucson.com

ver experienced a moment of stillness when observing something beautiful? The mind just stops and the heart softens. This could happen through viewing a piece of art, a lovely animal or a dazzling sunset. In that moment when we are absorbed by what we’re viewing, often the mind empties, emotions calm and we forget ourselves completely. A brief “vacation” from the ego/self occurs, giving us respite from our fears, doubts and daily distractions.

Sound—be it music, the human voice or from nature—also has this possibility of stopping us in our tracks. As a result, the heart may open and a sweetness can be experienced as well. Long ago, Tibetan Buddhists realized that sound has tremendous potential for transforming human consciousness. They created metal alloy singing bowls, lovingly created by hand, while chanting Sanskrit mantras.

They also incorporated gongs, drums, bells and more to enrich and stimulate the sound experiences offered.

Being bathed in acoustic sound and vibration, by a living human playing manmade instruments, offers an opportunity to experience this beauty and sweetness.

Recordings (digital or analog) can come close, but will never be the same. There is something that happens when we are physically present with each other, creating in the moment. Our hearts “meet” and our senses are activated to function at their highest purpose, which is to raise our consciousness.

Danielle Dvorak is a lifelong, classically-trained musician, who is also highly trained and certified in Tibetan Sound Healing, reiki, yoga, aromatherapy, End of Life Mentoring and more. She offers group events and private sessions incorporating these modalities. Connect at 847323-9188, Danielle@Replevyn.com or Replevyn.com. See ad, page 35.

WHY YOUR SKIN NEEDS MICRONEEDLING

T

hose interested in a holistic, safe, effective and long-lasting way to rebuild collagen and rejuvenate skin should consider Microneedling treatments—also known as Collagen Induction Therapy. The therapy uses a collection of fine (micro) needles that penetrate the skin at varying levels, using either a roller or automatic pen to induce different benefits.

There are three levels of microneedling: cosmetic, medical and surgical. With cosmetic needling, the needle barely penetrates (less than 0.5mm) into the top skin section, the epidermis, allowing skincare products to better penetrate the waterproof barrier.

Medical microneedling, an office procedure requiring prescription-strength numbing, penetrates the skin between 0.5 and 3.0mm, stimulating the dermis (the skin’s support structure) to make new collagen and elastin. This treatment wakes up the skin’s dormant powers to treat acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks and lax skin.

Surgical needling penetrates the skin at depths greater than 3.0mm to correct deep scars, and must be done under regional anesthesia.

Both medical and surgical needling cause pinpoint bleeding, which starts a complex cascade of platelet-derived growth factors, resulting in scar-less healing and new tissue building. Just a few treatments can result in elimination of frown, lip and neck lines, minimize acne scars and rejuvenate aging hands and arms.

Dr. Suzanne Pear, RN, Ph.D., LE, a nurse aesthetician specializing in holistic facial rejuvenation, offers microneedling at Pampered Skin Studio.

Teen Angst: What Can Be Done

T

eens and angst go together like peanut butter and jelly. Teens are supposed to experience angst. It’s what teaches them how to sort through experiences and feelings so that when they are older, and their brains are more fully developed, they can get through life with more ease.

If that seems like a strange statement to make, think of the story of the man who found a butterfly struggling to emerge from its chrysalis. The man, thinking he was doing the butterfly a favor, helped it emerge—only to discover that because he helped, the butterfly’s wing was deformed and wasn’t able to fly. It’s in the struggle itself (or the angst) that teens develop the tools and abilities to deal with what life might throw them.

But the angst for some teens has gotten out of hand. A combination of too much outside sensory input via social media, advertising, teacher and peer pressure, telling them they aren’t good enough, smart enough or ambitious enough, have created doubt in teens that is manifesting in cutting, drugs and suicide in alarming numbers.

What can we do to help? One possible answer could be: nothing. Give them the space to get in touch with who they really are in a flotation tank. Flotation allows the teen to unplug from the outside world and just be. In the quiet of the tank, the teen is given the opportunity to discover for themselves some answers without the outside noise. It gives them a chance for peace within themselves that they cannot find anywhere else.

Glyphosate Toxin Turns Up in Wines

Monsanto’s toxic Roundup herbicide glyphosate has been found in all 10 California vintages tested, including organic wines. While glyphosate isn’t sprayed directly onto grapes because it would kill the vines, it’s often used to spray the ground in the vineyard to be absorbed via the roots.

Sometimes, glyphosate drifts from conventional vineyards into nearby organic and biodynamic vineyards. Other times, the toxin remains in the soil after a conventional farm has been converted to organic; the chemical may persist onsite for more than 20 years.

Glyphosate is patented as an antibiotic. Designed to kill bacteria, it harms both soils and human health, and has been cited as a human carcinogen by the World Health Organization.

Humpback Holler Why Whales Leap High

Humpback whales are famous for their prodigious leaps from the water. A recent paper published in Marine Mammal Science proposes that breaching the surface and making a big splash serves as an acoustic telegram to communicate with far-off pods. The phenomenon may be compared to a distant drumbeat, which probably carries farther than the whales’ signature songs.

Former University of Queensland marine biologist Ailbhe S. Kavanagh, Ph.D., and her colleagues observed 76 humpback groups off the coast of Australia for 200 hours between 2010 and 2011 and found that breaching is much more common when pods are at least 2.5 miles apart, with more local slapping of fins and flukes when fellow whales are nearby.

After two years, the Tucson group now has 230 members. The goal, according to Bymers-Davis, is 250 members, which could translate to $25,000 quarterly. “Our first give was to Tucson Cancer Conquerors,” she says. TCC calls itself a support group dedicated to empowering cancer survivors and the communities that support them to achieve optimal wellness.

The most recent gift, in the third quarter of this year, saw more than $18,000 going to the Diaper Bank of Southern Arizona. “Even the large charities are impacted by a single gift of this magnitude, Bymers-Davis says. “They didn’t budget for it and were not counting on it, so it’s impactful.”

Earlier this year, in the second quarter, Care Fund, a foundation that helps families with ill children pay their home mortgage or rent, was the grateful beneficiary of $17,200. The first gift of 2017 went to the Tucson Chapter of the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.

Natural Awakenings is a media sponsor for 100+ Women, helping to promote the organization’s “Big Give” dates through magazine display ads. In-kind sponsors, like La Paloma Resort, and a few cash sponsors, help defray meeting room and food costs. This magazine will donate all proceeds raised at its 10th Anniversary Celebration on November 11 to 100+ Women Who Care About Tucson, says Publisher Holly Baker.

Celebrating 10 Years of Healthy Living in Tucson

T

en years ago last month, Natural Awakenings came to town. And it was time—it was so time for Tucson to have its own magazine focused on healthy lifestyles and a green, vibrant planet, trumpeting a warm invitation for readers to “feel good, live simply and laugh more”.

The magazine arrived in the form of Holly Baker, our beloved publisher and editorin-chief. Fleeing a corporate job in Kansas City and pursuHolly Baker ing a new life in the Sonoran Desert, Baker came here to run a business, which she had never done, to a city where she did not know a single soul.

“I don’t think my story has ever been told,” Baker says.

“But I am so grateful to the natural healers who have helped me stay well.” Baker says she came here because of health issues hallmarked by gluten sensitivities, chronic fatigue and achiness. Over the years, her health puzzle resolved into an underlying picture of dealing with the Epstein-Barr virus.

“Alternative therapies such as various detoxifying treatments, bodywork and sound therapy plus dietary changes, have helped me feel good—helped me run the magazine.”

Baker says she also hears many healing stories through her leadership role. For example, she tells of the wife who read a NA story about “manopause”, the hormonal change affecting aging men, and recognized her husband in it. After he opted to try a course of testosterone, that story’s signpost “changed her marriage” and her husband is now “a different person”.

A circle of healing emerges. Baker comes here to feel better and run a publishing franchise, and the franchise brings her into contact with alternative therapies. These naturalhealing practitioners and businesses that support the magazine through advertising enjoy being promoted through thoughtful feature stories. People read the stories and learn about ways to improve their lives and help Mother Earth, and it’s all good.

“There are a lot of gratitudes in my story,” Baker says. “Over the past 10 years, so many people have provided services to me and to our community. The healing community has supported us for 10 years and we have many loyal readers. I am grateful.”

Pain Management with No Drugs or Chemicals

by CJ Walker Someone with knee pain, for instance, can place the patches around that area for quick relief.

For pain throughout the body, there are different placement options that produce equally effective results. With its nondrug, non-addictive approach, IceWave truly stands apart from other pain management products on the market today.

How Phototherapy Patches Work The body emits heat in the form of infrared light. The patches are designed to trap this infrared light when placed on the body, which causes them to reflect particular wavelengths of light.

This process stimulates specific points on the skin that signal the body to produce health benefits unique to each LifeWave patch.

What makes one LifeWave patch different from another? Each patch is exclusively designed to reflect particular wavelengths of light that stimulate specific points on the skin. This enables each patch to provide unique health benefits.

No drugs or chemicals enter the body.

LifeWave also offers Energy patches, Sleep patches, Glutathione and Carnosine patches for anti-aging protocol, as well as the newest groundbreaking patch for anxiety, called Nirvana. LifeWave is a company that promotes good health and well-being. It also offers amazing nutritional supplements and a wonderfully effective, natural skin care line. All products come with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

What is Phototherapy?

The science of phototherapy, which has been around for about 100 years, uses light to improve the health of the body. And modern forms of phototherapy such as hronic pain, alone, affects 1.5 billion people around the world, Low Level Laser Therapy, which helps reduce wrinkles in the skin, are very leading to billions of dollars in healthcare costs and lost work produc- well understood scientifically.

n the seemingly complex world of retirement, there are important numbers we should be aware of that could make or break our overall retirement savings. A recent USA Today article highlights 10 numbers that could make or break our retirement. Here we outline our top five.

41 percent. This is a surprising statistic that reveals the percentage of workers (or four in 10) who say they (or their spouse) have tried to calculate how much money they should have saved to live comfortably in retirement, according to a March 2017 Employee Benefit Research Institute’s Retirement Confidence Survey.

That’s a relatively low number, given a good rule of thumb is to plan to have 10 times or more of your final salary in savings for retirement.

50. This represents the age at which you can make catch-up contributions to your retirement savings. The benefit of blowing out the candles on your 50th birthday is the ability to increase the amount you save in retirement accounts to the tune of $6,000 additional a year into a 401(k) or an extra $1,000 into an IRA.

8 percent. It may seem like a small number, but it could mean big savings for older workers who delay taking Social Security benefits beyond their full retirement age (around 66). Those who delay taking their benefits could increase their overall earnings by an additional eight percent each year until the full retirement age of 67.

$1,360. This number reflects the average Social Security benefit of approximately 41 million retired workers. It is important to understand that Social Security benefits vary by amount of time worked and the age when you enroll.

4 percent. On average, this is the recommended maximum percentage of assets we should plan to withdraw the first year of retirement. This is a general rule of thumb to ensure the nest egg you’ve worked hard to prepare will last for at least 30 years into the future. For example, if you’ve saved $1 million, you would plan to withdraw no more than $40,000 (or four percent) that first year. Then to help keep pace with inflation, you could increase that initial dollar amount by the inflation rate each year.

For questions or concerns about your retirement plan, call Anne Ramirez, an Investment Manager at Clarity Financial, in Tucson, to schedule a time to meet.

Help Pass the Patriot Clinic Initiative

L

aws have been passed in Oklahoma (June 2014) and Texas (May 2017) to establish Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as standard of care treatment for military veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) spectrum conditions.

A nationwide grassroots movement is in effect to establish Patriot Clinics to provide this care, which focuses on non-medication based healing (nutrient optimization, acupuncture, neurobiofeedback and more). There is an effort in Arizona to present a bill in January 2018 to senators and representatives during their active legislative session.

Several parallel efforts, many through Healing Arizona Veterans, are also highlighted below.

Education. An updated newsletter is in process to help educate regarding diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Carol Henricks, Medical Director for Healing Arizona Veterans, is available to do presentations.

Fundraising. Healing Arizona Veterans have a fundraising initiative to treat a group of 100 veterans, record their results and provide the information to the state of Arizona.

Establishing Patriot Clinics. Using HBOT for TBI-PTSD is a new approach in the U.S. When a law is passed, it is important to have treatment facilities available for the veterans who need treated. Currently, there are two, six-person chambers available in Arizona to treat veterans. A comprehensive clinic needs HBOT and the ability to provide all therapies.

Legal Struggles. It’s important to have people working with the legal system and helping “bad-paper veterans”—those veterans with TBI-PTSD who have been in legal trouble.

Homeless Veterans. Working with homeless veterans and Veterans on Patrol initiative. TBI-PTSD leads to homelessness.

Suicide Help. Bringing suicidal veterans into the Patriot Clinics for urgent care.

Many efforts have been ongoing since 2004. Those interested in working toward this cause are urged to contact your legislators to support the passage of the Patriot Clinic bill, and visit PatriotClinicMovement.org and sHealingArizonaVeterans.org.

Preventing, Reversing and Managing Diabetes Naturally

by Linda Sechrist

M

ore health practitioners today are recognizing both the mind-body connection, as well as energetic and metaphysical insights into preventing and reversing illnesses. As a result, those facing diabetes and other health challenges are accessing contemporary resources such as Louise L. Hay’s explanation of the emotional roots of disease in You Can Heal Your Life, and the medical science and natural methods explained by health researcher and author Gary Null, Ph.D., in No More Diabetes: A Complete Guide to Preventing, Treating, and Overcoming Diabetes.

Applying a “both” rather than an “either” approach illuminates the importance of recognizing the ways our thoughts, emotions and lifestyle choices can impact chronic illness and long-term health.

Two Perspectives

michaeljung/Shutterstock.com

Hay suggests that this metabolic disorder may be rooted in a feeling of being deprived of life’s sweetness and longing for what might have been, accompanied by a great need to control deep sorrow. Such chronic unease can show up as Type 1, or insulin-dependent, diabetes; Type 2, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes; latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), a slowly progressing variation of Type 1; or gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy.

Tucson

natural awakenings

Eavesdropping on our repetitive inner mind chatter and observing its impact on outer experiences can reveal faulty thinking that disrupts the mindbody connection. Hay, a firm believer in the power of affirmations to send a message to the subconscious mind, recommends them to aid healing. For diabetes, she suggests, “This moment is filled with joy. I now choose to experience the sweetness of today.”

Null cites medical evidence that explains how the physical causes of diabetes are related to the pancreatic production of the hormone insulin and the body’s use of it, together with rollercoaster blood sugar levels determined by food selections, stress, sleeplessness, insufficient rest and lack of exercise.

His approach for preventing, reversing or managing this debilitating condition is to raise awareness of the physical, behavioral and mental causes that lead to its emergence, and making healthy lifestyle choices that regulate blood sugar levels.

meals, normal levels are 70 to 99 mg/dl; otherwise, 100 to 125. Consistent readings above 126 indicate that lifestyle changes are needed to avoid eventual progression into full Type 2 diabetes.

When there’s an inability to efficiently transport glucose from the blood into cells, cells don’t receive the energy they need to function properly. “Elevated glucose levels contribute to blood vessel damage, high blood pressure and inflammation among other issues. High glucose causes insulin levels to spike in an effort to draw the glucose into cells.

This stresses the pancreas and causes a sugar crash, called hypoglycemia, which can lead individuals to make impulsive, poor food choices,” advises Marcy Kirshenbaum, a board-certified clinical nutritionist and owner of Enhance Nutrition, in Northbrook, Illinois.

She notes, “Elevated sugar and insulin levels raise triglycerides, a fat that circulates in the blood, and cholesterol, specifically the LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels. Triglycerides and cholesterol are important measures of heart health. Triglyceride levels of 150 mg/dl in fasting blood is a risk factor for a stroke or heart attack.”

from a doctor-ordered routine blood test such as the A1C glycated hemoglobin procedure, which reads blood sugar levels over a three-month period,” advises Dr. Nancy Iankowitz, a board-certified family nurse practitioner and founding director of Holistic and Integrative Healing, in Holmes, New York.

Individuals that consume large amounts of simple carbohydrates and sugars, are overweight or are exceedingly sedentary and eat unhealthy processed foods, have a higher risk for developing Type 2 diabetes.

Iankowitz’s effective, patientcentered practice follows a practical, four-month healing plan that includes tracking foods, moods, blood pressure, sleeping habits and exercise, all necessary to manage or reverse Type 2 diabetes.

Strengthen Your Wood Energy For A Fulfilling Life

W

hen Sandra, in her forties, wakes up in the morning she feels a little sad and empty. “Another same old day,” she says to herself. As the day goes by her sadness diminishes, however, her feeling of boredom remains.

Countless people feel the same as Sandra. They are bored and feel a lack of meaning or purpose in life.

According to research, boredom is a widespread phenomenon in modern societies in developed countries, where providing people with more than enough material items and conveniences is commonplace. However, some people still have fulfilling lives in this environment. Apparently, modern societies and environments rich in entitlement do not necessarily spur Sara Yo boredom in everyone.

According to Five-Element energy philosophy used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine, profoundly bored individuals are likely to be low energy people. In particular, their Wood energy is more likely to be at a low level. Wood energy is one of the five natural elements consisting of Fire, Water, Wood, Earth, and Metal.

Wood energy in plants consistently guides and supports trees to expand and grow tall. This element in humans enables us to know what we want in life, gain awareness of our life path and feel hopeful and joyful. When individuals lack high levels of Wood energy, they don’t have the clear vision or goals in their lives. They often believe life is hopeless, and as a result, feel bored, lonely, and anxious.

Some people are lucky to be born with high Wood energy. Even at a young age, they knew exactly what they wanted in life. Their natural high Wood energy helps them live life with purpose and ultimately achieve higher satisfaction. However, in the absence of luck being granted to us by the birth lottery, we still have ways to elevate our Wood energy levels. For example, mindfulness meditation, yoga, and fast-paced walks in the woods may be helpful in enhancing our Wood energy.

Dr. Hannah Hershoff, M.D. and Ph.D., recently studied a way to improve Wood energy. She found that meditating with Sara Yo healing jewelry could create a hopeful feeling and reduce boredom.

The role of exercise is also vital for those needing to reverse pre-diabetes or managing diabetes aided by insulin injections. “Exercise increases the muscle cell’s demand for glucose, moving it out of the blood into muscle cells that use it as fuel, and so lowering insulin levels,” explains Jamie Coughlan, a naturopathic doctor who practices in Pleasanton and Pleasant Hill, California.

Dr. Angelo Baccellieri, owner of Westchester Wellness Medicine, in Harrison, New York, introduces patients to intermittent fasting, an eating pattern that helps treat insulin resistance and control blood sugar. “The concept is predicated on going 14 to 16 hours without food, replicating how our primitive ancestors ate. They feasted when food was available and fasted during famines, sometimes going several days without eating,” advises Baccellieri, who notes that intermittent fasting can be done one day a week.

“Our biochemistry actually does very well with this approach, which isn’t hard to do when your last meal is at 7 p.m. and you skip breakfast and delay lunch the next day until 1 p.m. You can drink water with lemon, teas and black coffee throughout. By 1 p.m., the body has been 18 hours without protein and carbohydrates, allowing insulin levels to remain at a low level. Excess insulin from too much sugar shifts the body into a storage mode. Having no sugar stores available, the body can then switch into a ketogenic state that allows the body to burn fat for fuel,” explains Baccellieri.

Herbs such as turmeric reduce inflammation. Berberine can help cells use glucose efficiently. Supplements such as vitamin C, B-complex, resveratrol and pycnogenol (pine bark extract) can raise antioxidant levels, in which most prediabetic and diabetic individuals are deficient, according to a study published in PubMed. Cautious health professionals tailor supplement recommendations to each patient.

Helpful Weight Loss

In The Diabetes Breakthrough, based on a scientifically tested way to reverse diabetes through weight loss, Dr. Osama Hamdy and Sheri R. Colberg, Ph.D., explain a home-based version of the 12-week Why WAIT (Weight Achievement and Intensive Treatment) program offered at the Joslin Diabetes Center, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, in Boston.

WAIT allows participants to reach their weight and blood glucose goals, along with improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and liver and kidney function.

The program’s success is due to doable increases in exercising that put greater emphasis on strengthening muscles; effective ways to change bad habits; successful portion control; healthy alternatives to favorite foods; carbohydrate counting; and meals composed of the right balance of complex carbohydrates and antioxidant-rich plant foods, protein and fat, all to achieve optimum body weight and diabetes control.

No Quick Fix

Restoration of health begins with the most important lifestyle changes. n Replace processed and sugary foods in meals and snacks with nutrient-dense, whole foods.

n Determine possible food sensitivities with an elimination diet. n Eat some protein with every meal. n Eliminate environmental toxins.

Oleksandra Naumenko/Shutterstock.com

n Perform some form of cardiovascular exercise and resistance training at least three to five times a week. n Add stress-relieving practices such as yoga, tai chi or qigong.

According to Hamdy, “On average, diabetes has the potential to rob you of more than 12 years of life, while dramatically reducing the quality of life for more than 20 years through chronic pain, loss of mobility, blindness, chronic dialysis and heart disease.” Such serious consequences also include stroke, hearing impairment and Alzheimer’s, he adds.

All provide good reasons to live responsibly every day, cherishing longterm goals of laying claim to the best possible health.

Walking Each Other Home: Creativity & Community

by Carolyn King

O

f many passionate women committed to serving community through love, hope, faith and devotion to the power of creative collaboration, local artist Mel Dominguez’s life and story shine with a special light.

I met Dominguez 10 years ago when she had been in Tucson for only a short time. Her brightly painted, lively work that seemed influenced by contemporary street art and the re-emerging mural traditions of urban America were impressive. Dominguez, like her artwork, was a fresh combination of fun, tough, political and energetic.

In the decade since our paths first crossed, I have watched as her life and work have expanded in ever-widening circles of community-based service. As Natural Awakenings celebrates a 10year anniversary in Tucson, it feels fitting to introduce Dominguez to those community members who may be unaware of the uplifting spirit she has unfolded over the past 10 years in Tucson.

What brought you to the path of being an artist?

I always liked to draw. Even as a little kid as young as 3 years old, drawing was a special kind of thing for me. I grew up in my grandfather’s house. I am the first of four children and didn’t have any siblings for my first six years. I remember clearly watching cartoons and laughing with my grandfather. I understood way back then that visual art was a powerful way to communicate. Laughing and sharing cartoons with my grandfather showed me that age makes no difference when it comes to images and art. It was important to me to engage with my elders when I was a little girl. Drawing was a way I found to be able to do that.

Later, as an elementary school student, art became my way to being accepted. I was “different” growing up.

I was a total nerd and an outcast on several levels. In those days, I was probably one of only three or so kids in my entire school who were dealing with gender identity issues. Back then, there was no

natural awakenings

support or even any clear ways to talk about this reality. Art helped me to be accepted by others and gave me a way to stay connected.

In your life today, you have been actively engaged in many community collaborations. Can you talk about how your creative path unfolded in this direction?

I grew up in East Los Angeles, living with a large, extended family. Feeling connections between us all evolved naturally in that situation. This doesn’t mean family life was without its challenges, though.

In 2001, I applied for and received an internship position from The Getty Museum of Art to work at Self-Help Graphics, in Los Angeles. SHG is a grassroots Chicano arts organization founded in the early 1970s with the specific mission of providing Chicana/o and Latina/o artists a way to interpret, produce and share culture through print-making and other media. Their programs are intergenerational and multi-disciplinary and all about community engagement. SHG taught me about partnering with a wide range of organizations and the value of extending one’s sense of community to include people from many walks of life.

You have worked with so many different types of organizations here in Tucson over the past 10 years. Can you share about a few of those projects?

I am most grounded in my work as artist-in-residence and curator at The Tucson Tamale Company. It may seem like an unlikely public service venue, but for the past 7 years, I have met so many wonderful people and been able to outreach to a whole sector of community that might not encounter or interact with original artwork anywhere else. The Tucson Tamale Company has three locations in Tucson.

In addition to sharing my own culturally-based imagery, I also invite emerging and established artists to display their original artwork for the public.

Other U. of A. related projects have included collaborative mural-making with students at the Guerro Center on campus. That project was conducted at the end of the school year last spring and served as art therapy as much as anything else. The students were stressed from the pressures of testing, term papers and finishing up a university level school year. That particular project also ended up including participants at Art Awakenings, a local organization that focuses on visual arts as tools to facilitate growth and healing for those facing emotional Can you talk briefly about some of your and/or mental health challenges.

Several years attention so I can “forget” about my ago, I was a “fellow” with a group of ongoing illness. I live with daily physiother artists, at the Biosphere on a projcal discomfort and pain, but making art ect aimed to help interpret the vision of shifts my attention. I came from a family the work the scientists were doing. with a lot of dysfunction, so painting also helps me to dwell less on feeling the pain of being so separate from family members. My dad had not been part of my life for decades since he left when I was 9 years old, as he had been deported to Mexico. This past summer, I had the amazing experience of sharing an exhibit that included some of my work with him in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. I can barely put into words how the healing felt in that situation.

Have other projects evolved from your Tucson Tamale presence?

Absolutely. One thread I am especially in awe of is with a couple from Minnesota who live here as winter visitors.

They are postcard collectors who saw my work at Tucson Tamale, where they also purchased some of my postcards initially.

Later, they asked to visit my studio where they purchased a larger work. This friendship eventually led to me being invited to participate in three years of Visiting Artist and Artist-in-Residence programs in Minnesota. The last residency was a month-long project through a service organization created by the heirs to the Quaker Puffed Wheat Company. The Anderson Center Tower View Foundation is dedicated to community enrichment and support for individual artists.

Can you encapsulate how you see your life and work as being both of service and healing for the larger community?

Really, I am simply trying to live as much as possible while giving back as much as I receive. Visual art is such a profound, direct form of communication. When I partner with projects like a conference at ASU about the forensics related to border issues, for example, my role is to add voice to important community concerns through the accessible language of imagery. We are all interconnected and because of that, we all have a need to feel the “how” and “why” of what we share. I am playing my part whenever and however I can, for the greater good.

BUILDING BETTER BONES Bouncing, Leaping and Lunging Our Way to Bone Health

by Kathleen Barnes

Success in the quest for stronger bones is possible at any age.

Start and Stay Young

“Peak bone strength is reached by the age of 30, so it’s vital for young people to engage in dynamic impact movement through their teen years and 20s,” says Sherri Betz, chair of the American Physical Therapy Association bone health group, a doctor of physical therapy and geriatric-certified specialist with a private practice in Santa Cruz, California.

Engaging in sports during our youthful developing years helps build strong, wide and dense bones that will carry us well into old age, literally giving us a firmer base to stand on. It’s paramount to encourage children and young people to be physically active and for us all to continue with athletic activities throughout adulthood to preserve the bone health peak we reach at age 30.

Optimal Bone Exercises

“Adulthood is a perfectly good time to start building and improving bone fitness and health. The outcome is just a little bit less,” says Steven A. Hawkins, Ph.D., a professor of exercise science at California Lutheran University, in 32

Tucson

Thousand Oaks.

“Bone responds to exercise much like muscle,” explains Larry Tucker, Ph.D., professor of exercise sciences at Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah. “Bone doesn’t grow, per se, but like muscle, it does get denser and stronger according to the stresses and strains put on it.”

“The key is to put a heavy load on bones to stimulate them to grow,” Hawkins notes.

Standing exercises are recommended, because the bones most likely to benefit from strengthening exercise are 30 targeted leg and hip bones, says Tucker.

“Surprising the bone is your best bet,” points out Betz. “Don’t do the same things over and over again at the same time, either repetitive exercises like running or weight lifting or consistent combinations; even high-intensity exercise can diminish the effects.”

The most highly recommended exercises involve those that require changing directions, bouncing and leaping—from basketball to lively dances, and even some intense yoga postures. Hopping and jumping are probably the best way to strengthen bones, but must be done in

natural awakenings

the proper way, according to Tucker and others. Research by Tucker’s team published in the American Journal of Health Promotion studied the effects of jumping on hip bone density in premenopausal women. It may seem counterintuitive, but Tucker reports that most benefits are gained from jumping as high as possible, resting 30 seconds and repeating up to 10 times twice a day in intervals at least eight hours apart. “If you jump continuously, the exercise loses effectiveness pretty quickly,” he says.

Those that enjoy circuit training should do something else during the 30-second rests between repetitions, Tucker advises. Because it’s the jolt of jumping that stimulates bone strength, using a mini-trampoline or another cushioning device to lessen impact on the body won’t increase bone density.

Betz cautions against starting a jumping program too quickly. “Proper alignment, balance and body awareness come first,” she says. “Do 20 to 25 heel raises in a row, a full squat with good alignment and a full lunge to ready the body for a jumping program.” Such strengthening safeguards against falling and injury.

Walking Isn’t It

Walking, running, weight training and other repetitive exercises don’t improve bone density, says Hawkins.

“Walk and do other repetitive exercises for cardiovascular health and general fitness. While these might help maintain current bone strength, they won’t improve bone density.” Walking reduced the risk of hip fracture by 41 percent for postmenopausal women walking four hours a week, with fewer falls due to improved strength, balance and other factors per the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Numerous studies confirm that exercise of any kind keeps us healthy, but for bone health, the answer is to start weight-bearing exercises early and sustain the practice for a lifetime.

any factors play into preventing and treating the loss of bone density. Genetics, diet, exercise and posture are primary factors in bone strength. Treatment ranges from medications, nutrition, exercise, diet and vibration therapy.

Here are a few tips to help prevent bone loss.

• Exercise. Many studies have shown increased bone strength with exercise. This can be done with weights, Pilates, yoga and more.

• Diet. Try a low-acidic diet, with more veggies and less starches. Avoid red meat, carbonated fluids and sugars, and keep citrus limited.

• Vibration boards have shown to increase bone strength.

• Posture. Keep the spine long.

• Nutritionally, Hydroxy appetite has shown promise for improving bone strength.

It is important to have our bone density checked. The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends getting a bone density test for anyone in the following categories: women aged 65 or older; men aged 70 or older; anyone who breaks a bone after 50; women of menopausal age with risk factors; postmenopausal women under 65 with risk factors; or men age 50 to 69 with risk factors.

A bone density test may also be necessary if one has any of the following: a spine X-ray showing a break or bone loss in spine; back pain with a possible break in spine; height loss of ½ inch or more within one year; or total height loss of 1½ inches from original height.

The Bone Health Diet

A

s a naturopathic physician, our oath is to treat the whole person, so in regard to bone health and strength, we will again look toward and support whole-person health. This means eating things that support healthy bones, such as the following foods: • Organic dairy products which contain calcium and vitamin D. • Fish, particularly canned sardines and salmon for the calcium.

• Fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel and tuna for vitamin D (but not farm-raised).

• Organic, dark, leafy vegetables for calcium and vitamin K, such as kale, Chinese cabbage, broccoli and collard, turnip or mustard greens.

• Spinach, beets, okra, tomatoes, artichokes, plantains, potato varieties and raisins all contain magnesium.

• Peppers, oranges, grapefruits, broccoli, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, papaya and pineapples contain vitamin C.

Although beans can be a good source of protein, they contain a substance called phytates. This substance interferes with the body’s ability to absorb calcium.

Beans need to be soaked in water for several hours or overnight, then rinsed off and cooked in clean water to reduce the phytates.

Eating foods with a lot of salt can cause the body to lose calcium, leading to bone loss. Avoiding highly processed foods as well as alcohol, caffeine and soda can help bones stay stronger as well.

Tips for Overall Bone Health

O

steoporosis and low bone mass affected 54 percent of older adults in the U.S. in 2010, with women and non-Hispanic whites having the largest counts. Genetic factors, age, race and medication use (steroids or long-term thyroid hormone use) can have an impact on who is affected.

To lessen risk of osteoporosis, eat a diet including adequate calcium and Vitamin D. Recommendations are at least 1000mg of calcium and 600-800 IU of vitamin D daily for the average adult— more for adolescent girls and postmenopausal women. Many now consider these levels low and less than optimal. Have vitamin D level checked with a healthcare provider to ascertain what dose of supplementation might be advisable.

Dietary sources of calcium include dairy, fortified cereals and oatmeal, beans and legumes, almonds, dark green leafies like broccoli and bok choy and salmon and sardines with bones.

Vitamin D is made in the skin from absorption of sunlight, although about 50 percent of the population is deficient.

It is also present in eggs, fatty fish, cod liver oil, fortified dairy products and fortified cereals and beverages.

Weight-bearing exercises and muscle strengthening exercises are important. The best activities, if tolerated, are high impact such as dancing, aerobics, hiking, jogging, jumping rope and stair climbing. Second best include low-impact weight-bearing exercises such as elliptical machine use, walking fast on a treadmill or outdoors and stair-step machines. Yoga and Pilates can improve strength, balance and flexibility.

SACRED SILENCE buffaloboy/Shutterstock.com

Discover the Benefits of Quiet at a Silent Retreat

by April Thompson

I

ndividuals seeking to escape life’s ceaseless distractions, deepen their personal spiritual practice, enhance well-being and gain fresh perspective, are patronizing silent retreats in rising numbers.

“Retreats are a special opportunity to enter a healing space where your natural energy, insight, intelligence and wisdom can arise,” says Linda Mary Peacock, known as Thanissara, a former Buddhist nun, cofounder of South Africa’s Dharmagiri Hermitage and Outreach and a retreat leader at the Spirit Rock Insight Meditation Center, in Woodacre, California.

Sheila Russ, of Richmond, Virginia, has participated in several retreats with silent components, hosted by spiritual traditions spanning Baptist to Benedic-

tine. “People of different faiths all have the same need to reach inside and listen.

If we don’t slow down and get quiet, we can’t hear what’s going on with us,” says Russ. “Spending time in contemplation is cleansing and freeing; I feel like mentally and spiritually I can breathe.”

Scientific Support

Attaining heightened well-being after a retreat may have a neurological basis, according to research from Thomas Jefferson University’s Marcus Institute of Integrative Health, in Philadelphia.

Silent retreats appear to raise the brain’s levels of mood-boosting chemicals, according to Dr. Andrew Newberg, director of research there.

Newberg’s team tested the brains of retreat participants before and one week after an Ignatian-based retreat, finding significant changes in their serotonin and dopamine systems. “Whether through prayers, walks or meditations, the singleminded ritualistic aspect of retreats seems to predispose the brain for peak spiritual experience,” he observes.

What to Expect

Formats vary, but most silent retreats entail extended periods of sitting meditation or prayer, often alternating with walking meditation or other mindful movement. Some may also entail a work detail, like sweeping the meditation hall or helping prepare meals.

“Work tasks help bring mindfulness into everyday life,” says Chas DiCapua, a resident teacher for the Insight Meditation Society’s flagship retreat center in Barre, Massachusetts, who has led silent retreats teaching Buddhist practices for 20 years. “The community aspect is equally important; being surrounded by people that support your spiritual practice can encourage you on what can be a lonely path.”

Silence doesn’t mean being static and somber or not thinking, counsels David Harshada Wagner, of Ojai, California, whose meditation retreats draw from the Indian mystical traditions of yoga, vedanta and tantra. “Silence is more than the absence of talking; it’s a powerful energy,” says Wagner. “Silent retreats are the loudest, as the energy is roaring within. It should be a joyous practice.”

Yet retreats aren’t a cakewalk. Los Angeles author and mindfulness facilitator Jennifer Howd chronicles the challenges of her first nine-day silent retreat in Joshua Tree, California, in her memoir Sit, Walk, Don’t Talk. Seven retreats later, Howd says that although the journey isn’t always easy, she always gains insights about herself and the nature of the mind.

Choosing a Retreat

Retreat leaders caution that while it’s good to jettison expectations and approach the experience with an open mind, choose a retreat that fits individual needs. The level of personal attention at retreats can vary greatly, remarks Thanissara. “Some may host 100 or more 36

natural awakenings

people, relying largely on taped instruction without much interaction with group leaders. A small group might be better for a first retreat,” she suggests.

Thanissara recommends an upfront review of instructor credentials and starting with a weekend retreat before embarking on one of longer duration.

Regardless of length, retreats aren’t always for everyone. “If you’re going through emotional or psychological difficulties, it’s best to discuss your circumstances with a teacher at the retreat center before deciding to attend. If you’re in therapy, talk with your therapist,” counsels DiCapua.

Retreat Back to Everyday Life Afterwards, ease back into the daily routine; don’t rush back into old patterns of media and food consumption, recommends Howd. “Try to build-in a day or two of down time. You may still be processing things emotionally.”

DiCapua suggests finding a local community of a kindred practice to keep the momentum going, and not expect to keep it up as earnestly at home

The deliberate, conscientious practices of my first silent retreat made me appreciate each moment: the gifts, blessings, music, stretching, meditation, prayers and practice of stillness.

as at the retreat. Attending daylong maintenance retreats on Saturdays or Sundays can also help sustain individual practice. Above all, “Appreciate yourself for having thought to go on a retreat and follow it through,” says DiCapua. “It can be a radical thing.”

t is well known that practicing yoga can enhance a person’s physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. When yoga is practiced within a therapeutic format, it can help prevent and aid recovery from physical and mental ailments. Yoga is beneficial for health in ways that modern science is just beginning to understand. The practice of yoga, in all of its various formats, lineages and offerings, is one of the fastest growing effective therapeutic modalities across the world.

Although applied with therapeutic intention for thousands of years, Yoga Therapy is only now beginning to emerge as a complementary discipline unto itself. Yoga teachers are increasingly seeking therapeutic knowledge to add to their teaching.

Doctors are starting to embrace and prescribe yoga to their patients, looking at structural issues such as postural imbalance and tissue tension, as well as prescribing yoga for anxiety-based issues. Some of the improvements documented are improved brain function, lower stress levels, increased flexibility, decreased blood pressure, improved lung capacity, reduced chronic pain, anxiety relief, stronger bone and healthy weight.

There is still a big gap in understanding the therapeutic guidance and specific application that can inform this exciting field, especially in how to best integrate with science and medicine. However, the International Association of Yoga Therapy (IAYT) is leading this endeavor across the World with its recent set of criteria and standards, a research arm and an official certification process for yoga teachers beginning this year.

As the effects of yoga techniques are researched, data gathered and analyzed, science and medicine are beginning to understand and accept the benefits of yoga therapy. In fact, the spectrum of yoga therapy is expected to continue to grow exponentially.

A Certified Yoga Therapist utilizes their specific style of yoga, overlaying this with a compendium of tools learned from a therapeutic concept aligned and approved by the IAYT. This leads to the development of a customized therapeutic treatment plan addressing the client’s needs. Each client is seen within a holistic framework, thus the approaches offered are very unique from person to person.

There are also classroom yoga settings within this therapeutic approach, with specifically delineated steps to guide a group of students more generically by broader conditions—i.e. Yoga for Menopause, Back Care Yoga, Yoga for Depression.

To train in a therapeutic style of yoga, see Pima Community College’s listings on page 45. Contact Maggie Romance, of Pima Community College, Workforce & Continuing Education, at 520-206-6354 or MMRomance@pima.edu, or Patricia Hilliard, of Yoga Therapy College, at 714-443-7725. See ad, page 19.

Not Your Grandma’s Stuffing Healthy Twists on Old Favorites

in gluten-free dishes that she prepares in clients’ homes. “Anything that will hold its shape and not crumble too much can work as a stuffing base,” she says. “Gluten-free, somewhat sticky grains, like short grain brown rice, Chinese black rice, millet or soft-cooked quinoa work well.”

“Choose a mixture that contrasts with the texture and color of the food you’re stuffing,” advises Gauguin. “I created a stuffing that has crunchy pecans, tender black rice and chewy, dried cranberries to contrast with the creaminess of the cored squash entrée.

Healthy Holiday Stuffing Recipes Rocco DiSpirito’s Stuffing

T

hanksgiving side dishes continue to evolve, even though traditional entrées still hold pride of place.

New, lighter alternatives to time-honored stuffing maximize flavorful dried fruits, herbs and nuts. Healthy options may use gluten-free bread or black rice, cauliflower, chestnuts or pecans for flavor, bulk and color. A stuffing can also fill a halved acorn squash or cored apple.

According to renowned health authority Dr. Joseph Mercola, pecans contain more than 19 vitamins and minerals, including anti-inflammatory magnesium, heart-healthy oleic acid, phenolic antioxidants and immuneboosting manganese. Erica Kannall, a registered dietitian in Spokane, Washington, and a certified health and fitness specialist with the American College of Sports Medicine, likes dried fruits because they contribute antioxidants and fiber.

Intriguing Options

Celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito, of New York City, salutes his Italian heritage

with chestnuts and embraces healthy living with millet and mushrooms in his special stuffing. His new book Rocco’s Healthy + Delicious includes healthy takes on Thanksgiving dishes such as a sugar-free cranberry sauce.

Sonnet Lauberth, a certified holistic health coach, blogger and cookbook author in Seattle, created a healthy stuffing she loves. “My Grain-Free Sage and Pecan Dressing is one of my favorite dishes to bring to gatherings because it works with a variety of diets,” she says. “It’s gluten-, dairy- and grain-free, paleo and vegan. The pecans can be omitted for a nut-free version.”

Riced cauliflower is the base, which is available prepackaged at some groceries, but can be made at home simply by chopping the florets into rice-kernelsize pieces. “Cauliflower is the perfect base for this recipe, as it adds a nice texture in place of bread and provides extra fiber,” she says.

Laurie Gauguin, a personal chef in the San Francisco Bay area, specializes

Natural Awakenings recommends using organic, non-GMO (genetically modified) and non-bromated ingredients whenever possible.

1 Tbsp grapeseed oil ¼ cup millet 1 lb crimini mushrooms, sliced 1 large onion, diced 3 stalks celery, diced 1 medium carrot, diced 4 chestnuts, chopped 1 Tbsp fresh sage, chopped 1½ Tbsp poultry seasoning 3 scoops Rocco’s Protein Powder Plus (check Amazon.com) 2 egg whites 1¾ cups low sodium chicken or vegetable stock Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground pepper Place grapeseed oil in a 12-inch cast iron pan; place the pan in the oven and preheat oven to 425˚ F. Cook a quarter-cup millet in a small saucepan on the stovetop according to package instructions.

When millet is cooked through, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Heat a large, safe, nonstick sauté pan over high heat and use it to sauté the mushrooms until tender and golden, approximately seven to 10 minutes.

The black rice looks striking against the golden squash.”

A stuffing that everyone can eat is ideal for a holiday gathering, either to serve or bring. Lauberth observes, “While not always possible, it’s nice if the host can accommodate various dietary concerns and preferences. Bring your own hearty side dish or two so that you have enough to make a meal for yourself if needed.”

Transfer mushrooms to the same mixing bowl as the millet.

Heat a large, safe, nonstick pan over medium heat and use it to sweat the onions, celery and carrots until tender and translucent, about 10 minutes.

Transfer the vegetable mix to the same mixing bowl as the millet and mushrooms.

Add the chestnuts, sage, poultry seasoning, protein powder, egg whites and chicken stock to the large mixing bowl, and then use a rubber spatula to mix well, so that no lumps are visible.

Carefully remove the cast iron pan from the oven, and then pour stuffing batter into it. Popping occurs as the outside batter develops a crust.

Return the cast iron pan to the oven and bake for 13 minutes.

Remove from oven and turn the result out onto a serving dish.

GUIDE

Roast for 40 to 50 minutes on the upper middle rack of the oven until tender when pierced with a fork.

While the squash is roasting, place a medium, heavy saucepan over medium heat and pour in one tablespoon of olive oil.

Add the onion and sauté for two to three minutes, until the onion begins to soften.

Roasted Acorn Squash Stuffed With Black Rice, Pecans, Dried Cranberries and Tempeh Yields: 8 servings Squash: 4 acorn squashes (1½ lb each) 4 tsp olive oil ½ tsp sea salt Rice: 1 Tbsp olive oil ¾ cup finely diced onion 1 cup Chinese black rice (also called Forbidden Black Rice) ½ tsp sea salt ¼ tsp ground cinnamon ¼ tsp ground coriander 2 cups water 4 oz tempeh, crumbled Roasted Pecans and Cranberries: 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans 1 tsp minced ginger root 4 tsp olive oil 1 tsp ground coriander ¼ tsp ground nutmeg ¼ tsp sea salt 10 large sage leaves, chopped 1 cup dried cranberries 2 Tbsp maple syrup

Stir in the rice, salt, cinnamon and coriander. Cook and stir for 30 seconds.

Pour in the water and bring to a boil, then cover and simmer over very low heat for 30 to 60 minutes, until rice is tender.

Scatter crumbled tempeh over the cooked rice.

Cover the pan, then take it off the stove and let it rest for 10 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, combine pecans, ginger, four teaspoons olive oil, one teaspoon coriander, nutmeg and ¼ teaspoon salt.

Pour this mixture into an eight-by-eightinch baking pan; roast at 375° F for 15 minutes on the bottom middle oven rack, stirring halfway through.

Stir in the sage, dried cranberries and maple syrup. Roast for another 10 minutes, then remove from the oven.

Arrange squash halves, cut side up, on a serving platter. Combine rice with the pecan mixture and divide among the squash halves, pressing gently so the stuffing stays put.

Preheat oven to 375° F.

If made one day ahead, cover and reheat in a 350˚ F oven until heated through.

Cut squashes in half lengthwise, then scoop out the seeds.

Tips for a Gluten-Free Thanksgiving

W

hether this is your first gluten-free Thanksgiving or you are a long-time pro at navigating holidays sans gluten, it is possible to enjoy delicious Thanksgiving favorites with less stress and just as much flavor.

Help hosts understand food sensitivities and get involved with the planning of the meal. A few simple changes to the traditional dishes can make them safe to eat, such as using a gluten-free flour blend to thicken the gravy, and avoiding glutinous cream soup in the green bean casserole. Offer to bring a few dishes that can be enjoyed without gluten worries.

Better yet, those with gluten sensitivities can host the dinner themselves and show friends and family that a gluten-free meal can be both traditional and delicious. In fact, guests will never miss the gluten—especially if they never find out.

Many of the family favorites are naturally gluten-free, such as turkey, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and cranberries. But what about stuffing? What about dessert? These days, recipes for gluten-free pie, cake, gravy and stuffing are readily available online.

Susan Fulton, owner of Gourmet Girls Bakery/Bistro, in Tucson, is helping make the holidays even easier for those who prefer not to experiment. Gourmet Girls has all the family favorites, including pumpkin, apple and cherry pies, pumpkin logs with cream cheese filling, dinner rolls, stuffing and even gravy. Call ahead to place orders.

For more information, call 520-408-9000, email Gourmet.Girls@live.com or visit GourmetGirlsGlutenFree.com.

Ohio, author of Kindness is Contagious, observes, “We are literally created to be kind; it’s well known that feel-good endorphins are released when we do an act of kindness. I think we often hold back because we predetermine that our resources are limited. Know your talents and gifts, and build your acts of kindness accordingly.”

Sharable Thanksgiving

Ways to Focus on What Really Matters

by Marlaina Donato

Thanksgiving inspires a season of appreciation for what sustains us and gives meaning to life.

Share Good Food “I think true sustenance is when our hunger for connection and belonging meet,” says Sarah Ban Breathnach, the Los Angeles author of The Simple Abundance Journal of Gratitude. “When my daughter was small, we would purchase a complete Thanksgiving dinner for the local food pantry when we shopped for our own, saying, ‘One for us, one for them.’”

Nourishment of our emotional and spiritual selves often begins with choosing simple, whole food. Rocco DiSpirito, a New York City celebrity chef and author of Rocco’s Healthy + Delicious, reminds us, “Eat real food! Return to the basics of eating what’s produced by Mother Nature. You’ll become a better partner, parent and person.” Cooking is more enjoyable when shared; beyond partaking together, partnering in meal preparation is a fun way to nurture bonds with others any time of the year.

Bangor, Pennsylvania, has opened her doors for intimate community events through the years. “My former home, a converted church, was a perfect space for organizing and a way to give back,” says Caldara, who has hosted gatherings on local environmental issues, music performances, literary nights and annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebrations.

Small living spaces can be just as welcoming and facilitate simple conversation, a valuable gesture. “The art of listening is such a beautiful, but rare act of kindness. I love technology, but there’s no denying that our devices have made us poor listeners,” says Michael J. Chase, of southern Maine, the founder of The Kindness Center, whose books include Am I Being Kind and Off: A Memoir of Darkness, a Manual of Hope.

Each month, Chase makes it a point to visit friends and send some handwritten notes instead of using social media.

Common interests lessen the chasm between our to-do lists and nurturing camaraderie. Anna Maria Caldara, of
