I personally adhere to what I refer to as a "Green" Keto diet, which includes a substantial amount of healthy protein and fats, along with low-starch vegetables. I tend to steer clear of fad products that claim to be "keto" friendly, as they are often packed with unhealthy fats and dubious ingredients. Whether your daily net carb intake is under 5 or 20, be sure to enjoy these delightful vegetables without any guilt.

We cannot escape the reality that we live in a stress inducing world, which manifests in various ways that may surprise you. Emotional stress can arise from fear related to finances, safety, current events, and health concerns, while physical stress may stem from injuries, illnesses, excessive exercise, toxins in our food and medications, or environmental pollutants found in the air, water, and workplaces and artificial scents, perfumes, and fragrances just to name a few. These factors all have harmful impacts on our health, which is why it's essential to dedicate some time each day to mitigate their effects.

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY - The vagus nerve governs the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to soothe our mind and body so we can rest, digest, and heal. This nerve extends from the skull down to major organs, with its closest point to the skin located on our neck, just behind the ears. We can stimulate this area through various methods, such as vibration (like humming, chanting "ohm," or gargling) or by applying calming essential oils, which are absorbed through the skin directly to the vagus nerve. Pretty cool right?

MONDAY VIBES - Friendships come and go, while others have stood the test of time. They can be casual or they can be the type of friendship where a deep bond develops, where we can share our deepest secrets, sorrows and joys, where we are accepted completely, in our perfect imperfection. While it may not always be easy, we navigate challenges together, encouraging one another to become our best selves in a mutually supportive manner. I am deeply grateful for the few remarkable individuals I am proud to call my closest friends.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - Have you come across the concept of the gut-brain connection? Foods that benefit your brain also support your gut, and vice versa. Incredibly, your gut houses 80% of your immune system, playing a crucial role in mental health and cognitive function. That's a really big deal!

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY - Once upon a time, we were advised to steer clear of saturated fats and substitute them with seed oils. It turns out that this was poor advice, and there was no scientific evidence to support it. Nowadays, we understand, based on actual research, that the real offenders are the seed and vegetable oils, which are linked to diabetes, Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, and numerous autoimmune disorders.

Did you know that Earl Grey tea is a blend of black tea infused with the oil from the rind of bergamot? This green citrus fruit offers a delightful combination of sweet, floral, and citrus flavors. It’s an ideal choice for unwinding after a long, stressful day, as it soothes the stomach, alleviates bloating and cramps, and enhances the immune system thanks to its potent antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

MONDAY VIBES - Words carry immense power; they can either uplift or harm, depending on their resonance. Our brains constantly process language, and based on the words we speak or hear, specific chemicals are released that circulate throughout our bodies. These chemicals can either promote healing or cause damage, depending on how our brain interprets those words.

FOODY FRIDAY - Do you have some bananas that need to be used? This vegan and gluten-free recipe utilizes ground almonds along with chia seeds or flaxseeds in place of flour and eggs, which helps to significantly lower the sugar spike typically associated with traditional flour-based recipes. The result is a denser muffin that will keep you satisfied for longer, making it perfect for breakfast or a snack.

DIY THURSDAY - Essential oils can remain effective for several years, depending on their note (base, middle, or top), the extraction method, and how they are stored. Heavy base notes like frankincense and vetiver tend to improve with age, lasting up to five years. Citrus oils, however, are expeller pressed from the peel, making them essences rather than true essential oils. These have a quicker oxidation rate and should ideally be replaced within a year, although they can still be utilized for other cleaning, household purposes.
