A New Take on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving morning for me always starts with my celery juice and abundance of fruit. I will sip on a smoothie and some more fruit in the afternoon, and then like this have my evening feast. That’s typically how I like to structure my days… detoxing and cleansing all the way through dinner.

I love that Thanksgiving can be a delicious treat without gluten, dairy, or eggs.

How the Keto Diet Wrecked Me

Are you on the fence about going keto?

Have you read some pretty convincing literature that this diet could be your golden ticket to healing?

Or maybe you’ve had personal experience losing a ton of weight with this diet?

If this way of eating is detrimental to your vital organ health long term then why do so many people see results immediately upon ditching the carbs? How does the keto diet reek havoc on the liver?

And finally, when is the keto diet even medically indicated?

Sure, the counter literature is out there bringing to light why keto isn’t so glorious after all. However, from my personal experience and research, the counter evidence is not the literature that is promoted nor highlighted.

Why I Don't Love Food Sensitivity Testing

“You’re allergic to nightshades.”

“Avoid tomatoes at all cost.”

“Don’t eat high FODMAP foods like watermelon and celery that will flare your SIBO.”

Sound familiar?

This was my reality for far too long. I was avoiding all the foods on my high dollar food sensitivity test yet I was not healing, in fact my symptoms were getting worse.

At some point my healing journey I started to get so frustrated with “listening to what the doctors said” and ignoring my own bodily urges for foods I was CRAVING that would heal me.

Weight loss RESISTANCE!

You’ve counted calories, macros, carbs and gone keto but you still can’t lose weight. That’s been my story too sis, so what gives?

Yeah I could never lose the weight, my body just would not morph into what we were trying to achieve and I thought something was wrong with me. I felt like my body cannot be trusted and I needed to go to war against my body for weight loss. Something my coach and I both didn’t know that day was this, my body needed healing and that is why I couldn’t lose the weight. But in my ego mind I could not see past the perfect abs I wanted I was willing to make my body suffer and strive before I ever paid attention to her warning signs.

There is more than one way to lose weight.

What if we tried to heal our bodies first? What if we addressed the root causes of our underlying hormonal imbalance, sluggish thyroid, and impaired GI function. What if we looked at weight loss as a top down approach healing our physical, emotional, mental, even spiritual blocks to weight loss instead of beating the fat off our backs with fasted cardio and low carb diets. Looking at weight loss from the bottom up approach counting calories, carbs, or even macros leaves us short sighted and unable to achieve the desired result.

The Highest ROI in Healthcare + the EASIEST way to start feeling better today!

What if I told you to pay me ten dollars and I would give you back one hundred? Would you do it? The same concept applies to investing in your nutrition by means of food preparation weekly or daily in your kitchen.

Why should you invest your time or money in food prep?

We think by eating convenience foods we're really saving time.

How do you look at time? As an even exchange rate? I beg to differ. Sure, ordering take out saves time cooking, but is the food you are eating making you a more energetic & productive human being? Subway sure is quick but does it really matter when you could spend thirty minutes preparing a meal in exchange for premium fuel in your body that will allow you to work three times faster, have a ten times longer attention span, decrease your anxiety levels 90%, oh, and allow your body to require less sleep? This is the highest return on investment in healthcare!
