Urban Elixir

Food is a powerful force in our world. It brings people together, it’s an expression of love, it feeds the people and animals on our planet, and it has the power to heal our body with its many medicinal properties. The power of food in my life began decades ago when my son was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia at the age of nine. Ritalin, the only medication available, induced stomachaches, nausea, headaches, mood swings, and zero improvement with his learning disabilities. We quickly learned “food as medicine” was a better alternative and immediately saw a big difference in his cognitive abilities to focus and mood swings.

Food again served as medicine two years ago after my husband passed away and I was confronted with my own health afflictions: intestinal problems, depression, weight gain, and panic attacks. After a 21-day detox eliminating sugar, eggs, dairy, alcohol, gluten, and carbohydrates, my body health vastly improved. I learned to make lifestyle changes, eating seasonal, organic, unprocessed, and local foods, whenever possible.

An unexpected early retirement brought an opportunity to focus on a new career tapping into my passion of food as medicine. I moved to Berkeley, CA to pursue certification as a natural holistic chef at Bauman College. Upon my return in September of 2019, Urban Elixir Wellness, LLC was born!
