Sage Holistic Health Tip of the Month

COCONUT MILK ICE CREAM

Base Recipe:

2 cans coconut milk; 2 Tbs. arrowroot powder; 1/2 cup agave nectar or sugar; 2 tsp. almond extract

Empty cans of coconut milk into a medium size saucepan. Whisk to an even texture. Pour 1/2 cup coconut milk into a small bowl and add arrowroot powder. Whisk until no lumps remain, while heating the saucepan's contents on medium heat. Add arrowroot mixture to saucepan and whisk on medium heat until mixture starts to boil. Turn off burner and remove from heat. Cool to room temperature and add almond extract. Chill if desired. Process in ice cream maker according to directions. Enjoy!!

This recipe is easily altered for full gustatory delight:  Like chocolate?   Melt 2-4 baking chocolate squares in the saucepan before warming the coconut milk.  Try other extracts for flavoring.  Fruits of any type can be pureed then added to the warm mixture. Have some fun with it!

Laboratory Testing

Naturopathic doctors are trained to use many available diagnostic techniques in an attempt to uncover the cause of the presenting symptoms and then customize treatment plans to each individual. Specialty labs are utilized for food sensitivity testing, stool analysis, hormonal assessments, heavy metal testing, and conventional blood testing. They utilize a Bioimpedance Analyzer (BIA) machine to assess body composition and to determine the basal metabolic rate (BMR). Naturopathic doctors offer wellness exams for the entire family.

The doctors refer their patients to each other for specific treatments, and out of the office to other health care professionals when appropriate. They have worked diligently to develop an extensive referral network amongst the "conventional" health care providers along with "alternative" health care practitioners.
