Looking in your pantry, you’ll likely find items you use over and over again — your “forever ingredients” that are almost always on hand.

For me, as an Integrative & Functional Nutritionist, these ingredients not only help get a meal on the table in minutes, they also support my family’s wellbeing.

Food is medicine, and a well-stocked kitchen is your pharmacy.

I first learned about the concept of “40 Ingredients Forever” through Ali Slagle and was inspired to write my own list after reading Lauren’s of Plant Magic.

Here, I've curated my own list – a collection of staples that will transform your kitchen and your well-being. These ingredients are your allies in supporting hormone balance, gut health, and creating delicious, satisfying meals.
