In autoimmune disease, we often learn the hard way that the decisions we make—about what we put in our body, when to go to bed, which activities to participate in, you name it—have a direct impact on how we feel.

Kombucha Granita

There was a time in my life when the phrase “kombucha granita” would have sounded like a foreign language. I would have no idea what the heck that was. I definitely wouldn’t have guessed it was a delicious dessert! But these days, kombucha lines the shelves of grocery stores in as wide a variety of flavors as you can imagine. Fruits of all kinds, greens, ...
