to supplement or not to supplement?

Posted on May 16, 2012 by samanthaperis (nu roots) | 0 Comments

Is it necessary? If so, what do you recommend and why? These are the supplement questions most commonly asked, and often debated by clients, friends, family and the like. Here is my attempt to answer them to the best of my ability, of course in my own opinion. I hope that you can take this information and decide what is…

i’m pregnant…now what?

Posted on April 24, 2012 by samanthaperis (nu roots) | 4 Comments

Okay, so the fourth pregnancy test has officially confirmed it. You are pregnant! Congratulations!!! But what do you do now? What can or can’t you do? What can you eat? What should you avoid? Where do you begin? Ugh, so much to think about! I understand how you feel because I was overwhelmed with all the do’s and don’ts, should’s…

gluten free buckwheat crepes

I know I have already posted the best ever weekend breakfast, but I’d be lying if I didn’t say this recipe was up there…perhaps even tied for best ever. My hubby and I discovered a fantastic crepe restaurant while he was studying in Gotland, Sweden last year. We drank red wine and pigged out on both savory and sweet buckwheat…

i am beautiful april

My April resolution is all about positivity! I am going to start by surrounding myself with positive affirmations and repeating them out loud twice a day, probably before brushing my teeth so I don’t forget. The inspiration for this resolution was yet again my amazing Naturopathic Doctor sister (Dr. Mom, ND). In fact, I believe a lot of the credit…

Yup, that sure looks like two lines…it can’t be. It shouldn’t be…or can it? My boobs are sore, my BBT was high, that matcha latte I had yesterday sent my heart racing…I need to lay down…I think I’m seeing stripes. omg, omg, omg…I’m pregnant….holy *&#$ I’m pregnant. I feel crazy spewing these words out. Not to mention, I am talking…

Health savvy moms have you gone organic? Have you felt unsure of why or what it is that you actually get when you purchase something organic? Well you are not alone so we thought we should enlighten you on the matter. The definition of organic foods are foods that are produced using methods that do not involve modern synthetic inputs…

superfood smoothie march

Posted on March 2, 2012 by samanthaperis (nu roots) | 10 Comments

It’s a new month, which means time for a new resolution! February’s daily meditation proved to be a challenge for me, but one that has absolutely changed me for the better. Half of the month was spent on vacation, 10 days in Mexico, and a week in my home town, Calgary. This made it particularly difficult to remember to take…

death by chocolate

Posted on February 9, 2012 by samanthaperis (nu roots) | 5 Comments

If I could choose the method by which I leave this earth, it would be to feed me these little bites of chocolate goodness until my body literally explodes and my veins are oozing with raw cacao and spirulina. Ok, perhaps that is taking it a tad too far, but these delights are my weakness, my death bed last supper,…
