One of the things we love most about being part of our health-conscious community is that we have a never-ending wealth of knowledge to draw from with information that is tried and true, science-based, and from sources that are reliable.

Our focus is obviously health-conscious and chemical-free skincare, but we have the opportunity to talk to experts in every type of health field, from balancing hormones naturally to exercises to nutrition and part of our mission is to share this information with you.

Dr. Mark Hyman is one part of our community that works with nutrition—specifically focused how important it is to eat a diet that has healthy fats that offer your body vitality. He’s all about easy recipes that people can do with their families to get them back into the kitchen, eating healthily and knowing what they’re putting into their bodies and he just wrote a cookbook about it called “Eat Fat, Get Thin.”

Dr. H’s Taco Salad

Serves: 4
Prep time: 30 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 pound grass-fed ground beef
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and cut into large chunks
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 garlic clove
