It is important to have some type of healthy protein, healthy fat, and a small amount of carbyhydrate is also permissable. Dr. Fitzgerald reminds her patients to not have a high-carbohydrate breakfast because the result will be unstable blood sugar, low energy, and cravings throughout the day. Recently The Huffington Post published an article asking health editors to share one of their healthy breakfasts. It was a warm spring day in Santa Monica, and Dr. Fitzgerald's breakfast that morning was a breakfast smoothie. You can see the smoothie and other great breakfast ideas featured in the article by clicking here.   2013-05-16T00:11:36+00:00 http://www.santamonicawellness.com/site/dr_fitzgerald_a_featured_expert_on_optimal_parenting_101_virtual_conferenc/ http://www.santamonicawellness.com/site/dr_fitzgerald_a_featured_expert_on_optimal_parenting_101_virtual_conferenc/#When:20:10:01Z If I told you there was a conference where over 35 of the world’s leading medical doctors, pediatricians, birth educators, midwives, parenting and optimal living experts share the keys to a healthy and joyful pregnancy, birth and early parenting experience - would you be interested?

One day we'll read fish oil is beneficial, the next day, we'll read something to the contrary. I read numerous nutritional studies daily, and I want to assure that I report the truth to my readers and patients. Fortunately, there is a great researcher who has done the homework for us in terms of intepreting nutritional studies reliably. Dr. Alan Gaby is a medical doctor and the author of Nutritional Medicine, a comprehensive guide to understanding the best use of natural remedies. I interviewed Dr. Gaby, and he shared amazing insights.
