A picture says 1000 words? Want to know a few things about me? Read on...
I find social media very time-consuming, which is why I don't post a lot. I always say that I'll get better at posting, but that takes me away from:
👩🍳 Making home cooked food. Otherwise, my guys will smash a box of muesli bars, or whatever else is easy. Made a potato salad, which is a great PREBIOTIC, which feeds your good gut bugs. Cooled, cooked potato turns into resistant starch, a great prebiotic.
🌱 I grow a lot of herbs and dry them so I can use them all year round. That white tray on top of the piano is thyme drying, which is great for bronchitis, congestion, and delicious on mushrooms and pumpkin.
🧖♀️ I also make our own soap (other side of the piano). MANY hygiene products contain chemicals that can dysrupt our hormones and can have other harmful effects. Check the Skin Deep database by EWG to see if your skin and makeup products are toxic.
🐶 That's our beautiful Border Collie, and research shows that having a dog can reduce the chances of asthma, allergies & eczema, as we are exposed to more microbes, which is a good thing. I always tell my patients that it's important to be clean but not sterile!
🔥 See the fire pit in the background... there's new research showing that looking at a flame and certain lights can stimulate stem cell production. That's not why we made a fire pit, just a fun fact I recently learnt 😉
I've always loved the concept of being a "home maker." As you can see, it's where my energy goes (sorry instagram), and it is a way I can reduce the toxic load in our house without the huge price tag.
It's always a conversation with my patients... how we can lessen the toxic load, bring in more goodness, but in a way that is achievable and doable. Baby steps, right?
So, this is me 🥰
