Lemony Yogurt Chia Pudding
This delicious recipe from Vail Health Behavioral Health's Dr. Eliza Klearman packs a lemony punch and makes for a super easy, go-to breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups milk of your choice
- 2T honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Juice of 2 lemons (about 6T juice)
- ½ cup chia seeds
- Toppings of your choice (fruit, nuts, seeds, coconut, cacao nibs, etc.)
Directions
- Blend the yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla, and lemon juice in a blender.
- Place two tablespoons of chia seeds in 4 separate bowls or jars (2T/ jar). I like using glass jars with lids so I can shake them up and then just grab a jar when I am ready to eat.
- Divide your yogurt mixture into each of the jars and mix them well so that the chia seeds are distributed throughout the yogurt.
- Put on the lids, give a good shake for extra measure, and put them in the fridge. They should sit for at least 6 hours before eating, just to let the chia seeds plump, which makes for a nice, thick chia pudding.
- Top with whatever you want and enjoy!

Hot, Cold and Mental Health: Inside Vail Health’s CHILL’D Research Study
Depression, a mental illness affecting more than 18% of American adults, has no blood marker or single biological cause.

Like many mental health conditions, depression can be treated through medical, pharmaceutical and alternative approaches. One promising avenue under study at Vail Health’s Behavioral Health Innovation Center is contrast therapy — combining sauna and cold plunge treatments.

What to Expect Before, During and After a Colonoscopy
If you've been putting off a colonoscopy, you're not alone. It's one of the most recommended — and most avoided — preventive screenings in medicine. But here's what most people don't realize until after their first one: the procedure itself is a non-event. You're asleep. You don't feel a thing. What people actually dread, and what they talk about afterward, is the prep. The good news is that even the prep is manageable, and the payoff is enormous. Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when caught early. A colonoscopy doesn't just detect it; in many cases, it stops cancer before it starts.

Navigating Men’s Sexual Health: Erectile Dysfunction and the Bigger Picture
For something so common — and treatable — erectile dysfunction (ED) is still surprisingly difficult to talk about. “The biggest misconception men have is that there’s a mechanical or physical problem with them, and that’s usually not the case,” explains Dr. Joseph Dall’Era, a urologist at Vail Health. In reality, ED is far more nuanced and manageable than people realize. Understanding what’s happening and knowing when to speak up can shift the experience.
