I'm really tired of the campaign to move closer to eating and existing as our ancestors did. We live in a society where it is impossible to eat let alone to live as our ancestors lived.

For Lacto-fermentation, firm vegetables, such as beets and turnips, are best. I’ve found the softer vegetables, such as tomatoes and cucumbers, can be more challenging.

Warning ⚠, when fermented, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and other "gassy" foods produce a strong odor, it's best to blend them with other vegetables to avoid this perfuming of your kitchen 😉

The practical solutions have probably already been pointed out to you; Ditch it, delegate it, or do it yourself in the most effective way. So many sensible suggestions but they are so hard to put into practice …

Point Me to the research that shows that drinking juice, instead of chewing, will help your organs do their jobs better? I’ll argue that our bodies were designed to chew. And personally, I feel more full and more satisfied from chewing than from drinking 🍏 🥤

Eating probiotic strains that thrive in fermented foods and beverages can boost your overall intestinal and respiratory health and even slash your risk for chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease! It’s all connected to taming inflammation

80% of our immune system lives in our Gut. Without balanced Gut health, our body cannot process or break down our food and absorb nutrients. We are then delivered into the downward spiral of overfed and undernourished states, where disease and unchanging cravings are inevitable

Green tea and matcha share the same health benefits, however, Matcha has 10 times the nutritional value of regular green tea and up to 137 times the amount of antioxidants ♡

Empowering gut health in everyone 🍎

Fish Oil, is it your friend or foe?

If your body is highly symptomatic and you are trying to regain some control, be mindful of the trap of perfectionism. Perfection and being 100% symptom-free 100% of the time is impossible, and that goal can add stress which becomes inflammatory and actually burdens our body and our liver. Tread softly with self-compassion as the goal is to improve our habits in a way that supports detoxification, without driving ourselves to obsession.

It’s momentary relief rather than long-lasting. It’s emotion-based rather than logical. And it doesn’t always support health – sometimes self-soothing impulses are unhealthy.

Medications simply cannot change the trajectory of your disease state but together with other modifications you can get there 🧡
