My Urban Remedy

August 26, 2014 by Hillary 7 Comments

When Urban Remedy reached out to me to participate in their #myurbanremedy campaign this month, I couldn’t pass them up – all the green juice!

urbanI was not exactly in the mood for a juice cleanse when I was contacted a couple of weeks ago (What can I say, chewing is fun!); however, when I scanned Urban Remedy’s shop, I quickly learned that strict juice cleanses is not what they are all about.

Whether it is beating a sugar addiction, integrating more fresh meals, or committing to cleanse and reset, Urban Remedy wants to help people make their lives a little healthier; the company views food as healing – yes, yes, yes!

So, I opted out of trying one of their cleanses (someday), and chose a selection of fresh, cold-pressed juices from the a la carte menu.

I picked mostly leafy green juices with a couple bright, root vegetable-based beverages for a twist; overall, I loved my tasting experience. I especially enjoyed the juices with ginger and mint (like Flush and Support).

I am a big fan of their website feature that describes the health benefits of each ingredient in the varying juices… as is of interest to most consumers of raw, fresh juice. For example, the benefits of burdock root or turmeric are clearly explained in layman’s terms – no more organic chemistry, even for this Nutrition Nut.

In addition to a rainbow of fruit and vegetable beverages, Urban Remedy also sells cold brewed coffee (!), nut milks (mmm), and herbal boosts.

Why I am personally a fan of Urban Remedy:

  • It’s USDA Organic – a must for me when it comes to fresh juice
  • The produce is sources from local farmers who practice organic, sustainable farming methods
  • It’s cold-pressed
  • Their simple philosophy: food is medicine

    I love how they have cold-brewed coffee! The a la carte options are great as well since I (like you) love chewing. I’ve tried the Suja cold pressed juice here in San Diego which is awesome as well!

    I think they look tasty! I don’t usually buy juices because they are out of my budget. I’ve been using my Vitamix to make lots of green smoothies which are almost juice consistency.

    Yum! I’ve been wanting to try similar juices, but I think I’ll check out this brand. And I’m with you on not wanting to cleanse. I’m also a fan of chewing my food!

    Thanks for the review :-)

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
