Moroccan Burgers

Continuing my exploration of Moroccan fusion foods, serve these spiced-up burgers up with toppings like avocado, onion, and olives. I’m really trying to add more legitimately ethnic foods (not fusion foods) to the site and am about to embark on a world tour via my kitchen. Yum! 🙂

Struggling with thyroid disease?

Why Do I Still Have Thyroid Symptoms? by functional medicine practitioner Datis Kharrazian is single-handedly responsible for my improved health over the past few years. It introduced me to the connection between autoimmune disease and lifestyle factors like diet at a time when my doctors were telling me there was nothing wrong with my thyroid even though I had high antibodies. This book gave me the information I needed to get the right tests ordered and seek proper treatment. It’s a must-have guide for anyone who has already been diagnosed with thyroid disease, who is at risk due to family history, or who strongly suspects they may have it but isn’t sure where to start. I can’t recommend it enough!
