The holiday season is here again, which means families are flocking together to share in the festivities of the season–and, of course, giving gifts.

As someone living in Boulder, Colorado, consulting a Naturopathic Doctor for health issues (be they acute or chronic) is as common as going for a hike, seeing an acupuncturist, attending a yoga class, or attending a meditation retreat. We as a city tend to lean towards natural and holistic healing as a rule.
Water is life, and necessary to sustain life, but we take it for granted in today’s world. From making up a major portion of our bodies to keeping us clean, here are all the ways we use water and why it’s so important to defend this resource.

I’d be surprised if it didn’t, and if not, you must tell me your secret!
Want to welcome Blue Jays, Cardinals, and other stunning birds to your backyard? The better question is, who doesn't? Birds can bring such wonderful joy to a backyard, especially in the dead of winter, or late fall.

Plus, feeding birds in the colder months helps them store and conserve energy for when they really need it (staying warm and avoiding predators). Here are the foods that will keep them coming back for more.
