Today, I’ve gathered together 10 recipes, 2 from each of the following categories: salads soups meat desserts drinks These 10 recipes… Read More
We are all busy…with work…the kids…social engagements…school (for some of us). For me, as I work on my thesis, I’m also fixing up my home and preparing for my youngest son to graduate in from high school in June. Over the past month, it has become easy to “fall off the wagon” and order take… Read More
Saw this delightful recipe and couldn’t resist. It looks divine and I can’t wait to try it! Ok, so maybe squash isn’t exactly a spring veggie… but it’s still super healthy and pretty darn yummy! Plus, it’s one of my very favourite vegetables, so I figured that I ought to share this brand new recipe… Read More
How Low-Carb and Ketogenic Diets Boost Brain Health Like most people my age (nearing 50 years young!), I grew up during a time when dietary fat was the bad guy. So, prior to starting school at Hawthorn University (HU), I was completely brainwashed with the idea that fats were bad, carbs were good and that… Read More
As my children get older, and move away, there’s a fear that we’ll lose touch. So, two to three times a month, we all get together for a big family Sunday dinner. It’s tempting to pig out on these days, but I make an effort to stick to my keto diet. While there are a… Read More

I came across this great article this afternoon and had to share it with all of you. It touches on several aspects of the Keto diet that are “scary” and often misunderstood. Have a look… With a proposed macronutrient breakdown of 20% protein, 10% carbs and 70% fat anyone in their right mind would… Read More

Welcome to Purple Almond Wellness!
I ’m Tamara Hoerner, MHNE, founder of Purple Almond Wellness. I work with middle-age individuals to help support brain health and develop whole body wellness, in order to improve the quality of their mid-life years. Heart and Alzheimer’s diseases run in my family and I struggled with weight loss, so I strive to help others with similar conditions. Using only nutrition, I rid my body of seasonal allergies, Psoriatic Arthritis and migraines. I know what it takes to use food as medicine, especially in middle age. As a wellness educator and Summa Cum Laude graduate of Hawthorn University, I develop personalized nutrition plans and wellness education sessions, to help clients.
For me, health isn't just about food it's about living a positive, happy, healthy life..
Where food is concerned, I'm all about getting back to the basics, good old fashioned traditional organic, whole food, the kind your great-grandmother used to eat. You'll find no processed foods here. Just good food to heal your whole body.
Stress plays a large part in the physical health of our body. I, therefore, believe in using anything that relieves stress and heals the body, including: mediation, yoga, music, laughter, inspiration and helping others. You'll find all these included in my blog as well.
