When your body decides to get sick hours before vacation..... Thank good for ancient wisdom and it’s miracle medicines!!!

By about 4 pm (out of nowhere - except maybe from driving through the smoke outside nakusp?) my glands were painfully swollen, my body was achy and my head was throbbing.... by 5pm I had Moonstone Ferments Master tonic, a glass of MotherLove sweet ginger ‘bucha and snuggled into bed. 9pm has me laughing!!! Almost 100% better in 4 hours!!

Dan Sing Gardener you are a wizard - thank you for saving my vacation!!

This is a great article outlining some of the ways the studies we read can be manipulated to find and support specific beliefs.

One of the most valuble classes I took in my schooling to become a holistic nutritionist was literature research - we learned to read into the parameters of a study to pinpoint any inaccurate or missing elements and glean as much good information from the study as possible.

Often times what may become deceiving in double blind studies is a control group that failed to take quality into account. An example of this is the infamous studies in the 1960's of fat free diets vs diets including highly processed vegetable oils.

Although by nature science is 'exact', theres a discrete art in finding the truth in the science.

Nutrition is a nuanced and contradictory science - thankfully if you listen, your body will tell you whats right for it.

Upcoming event!

Holistic Energy Enhancements at Okanagan CoLab - Lunch and learn tomorrow at 12pm!

So what if you could check off all of the items on your to-do list - AND finally tackle those personal projects - and finish your day still energized & ready for the next day?

What if you could make it through every minute of your day, from the moment you open your eyes to the moment your head hits the pillow, without having to pound a Red Bull just to keep up?

What We’ll Cover:

- Where your energy comes from on a cellular level (so you can start working with your body instead of against it)

- How your hormones drive your feelings of inspiration (and we’ll show you how to hack your hormone system so you start waking up inspired every day)

- Why the best way to change your energy level is to change what goes on your fork (and the small tweaks to your diet you can make right now that’ll have the biggest impact)

PLUS

Love on your tummy with snacks from the amazing tasties kitchen!

Shoot me a message if you'd love to join in or haven't been to Co Lab yet, we'll get you ready to rock.

B R E A K F A S T
is a time of day.

Not a type of food.

Opting for easier to digest, nutrient dense foods like vegetable soups to break your fast will give your digestive system a loving break.

When we load up on carb rich, processed and fried foods first thing in the morning, we rout precious energy to breaking it down.

Save your treats for later in the day when you're not expecting your body to preform and create for hours after!

Diet; originally from the greek root Diaete, meaning way of life.

There is no seperating your diet from your life.

The collection, consumption and elimination of food is as foundational and ritualistic as breathing.

There is no such thing as a quick fix or a short term diet that will change your body or your experience of your life, as a human creature your body is your life.

Embrace it, find the beauty, enjoy the little bites of your life.

Stop looking for a diet you can pack into the rushed creavasses of your life.

Learn to let food become part of you, a source of inspiration, community and pure pleasure.

Because it already is.
