PREPARATION OF THIS HEALTHY RECIPE
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper and red pepper flake. Whisk ingredients together.
- Add 1 tsp of ghee to a heated cast iron skillet and saute chopped swiss chard until wilted. Let cool, strain water and set aside in a bowl. Slice mushrooms and onions, throw them in the pan and saute. Remove onions and mushrooms with a slotted spoon and reduce any remaining water to a thick sauce, pouring over mushrooms.
- Grease and heat the cast iron skillet until a drop of water sizzles on the surface. The pan should be hot enough so that the egg sizzles immediately upon contact. Add about a quarter of the egg mixture. Then add a layer of mushrooms. Add another layer of egg. Next spread the chard over the egg mixture. Pour the remaining whipped eggs over the chard. Immediately place in preheated the oven.
- Bake for ten minutes and pull out the frittata. Finely slice about 1/8 cup of onion and spread over the top. Bake for another ten minutes or until egg begins to brown and onions are crispy. The edge of a frittata should be roasted while the center fully cooked. It should not be dry. Remove from oven, garnish with Rosemary and serve.

CLINICAL AYURVEDIC REVIEW
On surprisingly crisp early fall mornings, you may wake with a shiver in your bones and crave something substantial and sustaining. This mushroom and swiss chard frittata is cozy, warming and grounding. It will strengthen you. Eggs are warming and nourishing. They satisfy a robust and sturdy appetite. When the cold comes, your body will be ready to brave the chill.
Warm, Brawny EggsEggs are warming and nourishing, and satisfy a strong appetite while making you feel robust and sturdy. The rich, golden hue of the egg's yolk suggests their creamy warmth, while mighty egg whites are known muscle tonics. Egg whites are popular among bodybuilders for their ability to build muscle and create brawniness in the body. Together, the heating yolk and the burly white create a powerful combination that provide the fire and strength you need to make it through dropping temperatures. Back to School BreakfastFall brings about a return to responsibility. Kids head back to school, the thrill of summer wraps up, and you may begin to focus in again on your work and perhaps self-reflection. This is the natural tendency of the fall. Animals prepare for the winter by storing food before the time becomes critical. Eating grounding, warming meals like eggs and mushrooms while the season transitions is the best defense you have against the coming cold. Feed the Flame A morning frittata builds heat and heartiness in your body, so that you have a storehouse of warmth on reserve for windy autumn days. Eggs, rosemary, and pepper heat up circulation, and disperse heat throughout your body so you feel warm to the bone. A pop of red pepper restores a faint red glow to your skin, as it excites the blood and heats up your circulation, making you look healthy throughout the sulky fall. How to Balance Dense, Rich FoodsHeavy proteins like eggs make this a dense breakfast. Density provides nourishment and satisfies your stomach on cold days, but is also difficult to digest. According to Ayurveda, the denser the meal, the more digestives you have to add in order to digest is properly. Pungent spices like rosemary and red pepper can help lighten up this heavy dish and make it easier for your body to assimilate its nourishing qualities. The bitterness of swiss chard also reduces heaviness, and adds a beautiful burst of antioxidants and array of color to your morning frittata. The synergy of this recipe creates the needed density for fall without bogging down your digestion. Calms AnxietyThis recipe is also excellent medicine for frenetic anxieties that sneak up on you in the fall. Vata-types in particular need the hearty nourishment and fats in this recipe to ground the nervous system as fall swoops into full gear. Mushrooms' earthy taste and eggs' warmth keep you grounded and calm your nervous system amidst chaotic fall days. Eating grounding, earthy mushrooms in early fall helps bring you back to earth on chaotic fall days. Rosemary is also a heating nervine, known for its ability to warm you up and keep you level-headed. The heavy fats in the yolk and olive oil provide a final layer of protection to your myelin sheath, centering scatteredness and calming the whirlwind of autumn anxiety.

The Three Doshas / Body Types
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.
