Zero-Waste Series – Where we make cold-pressed juices and show you a way to use the pulp and peels.
One of the most popular cold-press juice recipes in the winter in our PURE Juicer community is the lemon-ginger-turmeric shots. Since we posted this recipe last year, we have added the orange and pineapple to take this immune-boosting juice to the next level.

Our heart beats 60 to 80 times per minute. It may go higher when we exercise or lower when we sleep. Each beat pumps blood out of a large vessel called the aorta and sends it on its way to all the arteries and arterioles that feed every piece of every organ of our body. These pieces of tissue extract oxygen and nutrients from the blood, both important for functioning. Nutrients play critical roles as substrates and co-factors for all the enzymes and their reactions that work to maintain homeostasis of our organ systems. And oxygen is necessary for these cells to function at all. Oxygen itself is carried by proteins that require an appropriate nutritional state of our body.

In this blog, we will explore the role mitochondria have in our body and ways we can support the mitochondria with delicious and simple juice recipes.
The mitochondria are organelles in our cells that are responsible for creating energy for our bodies. They are like the engine that powers a car. They are fueled by what we eat and the health of our system. When the mitochondria don’t have enough of the right quality fuel, we can feel tired all day long. If we do not have quality fuel for long periods of time, we can develop more serious chronic issues.
When we hear ‘keto diet’ we think of heavy protein and dairy foods. But did you know that many greens are keto-approved too?
Although fruit in high quantities is not advised when following the keto diet because of the sugar content, keto does see value in low-carbohydrate vegetables. Greens like cucumber, celery, spinach, and kale, are all keto-friendly vegetables that allow those following keto to incorporate more plant-based habits into their diet.

When people start juicing for health, one of the first things they notice is an improvement in their skin. Their skin is clearer, brighter, and more hydrated. And, their hair has never grown faster.
These dog treats are loved by our furry best friends and US! Using the dry pulp from carrot-apple juice, plus some well-known healthy foods pups love, these treats are healthy and a new fun way to use our juice pulp. Not only is this recipe yummy for doggos, but humans love them too and they are the perfect way to make juicing a completely zero-waste process. Rich in fiber, they are an excellent way to complement a vibrant diet of other plant-based foods and juice.

In this new blog, we dive into my favorite topic, brain health. As a board-certified neurologist for adults and children, I have seen thousands of patients struggling with symptoms that affect the quality of life, including headaches, fatigue, pain, cognitive difficulties, insomnia, anxiety, and more. After my residency, I earned my Ph.D. in Environmental Toxicology (focused on pharmaceutical residues in our drinking water), and then I completed a fellowship in Integrative Medicine. These two degrees, along with my medical degree, taught me that many suffer from daily exposures to toxic substances over decades of life.
Five years after my fellowship, I opened my own practice to combine the best of Western and integrative medicine, something for which I hold a great passion. It has been a rewarding experience to see patients thrive and improve brain health when focusing on lifestyle changes. This integrative approach, plus a broader acceptance of food as medicine and plant-based diets, make me optimistic about lifestyle changes and brain health.
