🌲Northern Ontario Hello, and welcome!

I'm Cara Reis, a nutrition nerd, beach bum, and thrift store junkie, who loves living a sustainable & simple life on the shores of Lake Huron. After attending the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in 2013, I discovered a true passion for holistic health & wellness....the connection between nutrition & physical health, and mental & emotional health. I've experienced first hand how powerful a shift in focus towards mindful & conscious living can be. I want to share this experience, and knowledge with others to help them find their own, individual path to true health & wellness. Over the years, I've also developed a deep respect for the environment and this amazing Earth of ours. Our health & well being is a true reflection of our environment and our state of mind. I'd love for you to join me on this journey....we're all in this together��

What if we changed the narrative on cancer?

What if we approached cancer with curiousity rather than fear?

What if we allowed cancer to teach us instead of trying to fight it?

I don't have all the answers, but I do know this....
I'm determined to change the way our world views cancer.

The solution to many symptoms is often Magnesium.

Magnesium is the one supplement that I take religiously. I would not have been able to make it through this first year and a half of motherhood without it.
It is also the one supplement that I recommend to almost everyone.

Why?
👉Because Magnesium is needed for so many important functions in our bodies, yet approximately 80% of our population is deficient.
Even a nutrient dense diet does not provide us with enough Magnesium as our soil is depleted.

Our bodies will tell us when we are out of balance or have a deficiency. The symptoms we experience are the signs from our body telling us that we need to start paying attention.

Many symptoms that we regularly experience are signs of Magnesium deficiency.
Whenever I hear of people suffering from symptoms, I almost always recommend starting with Magnesium.

Anxiety? ➡️ Magnesium
Sleep issues? ➡️ Magnesium
Restless legs? ➡️ Magnesium
Menstrual cramps? ➡️ Magnesium
Headaches? ➡️ Magnesium
Constipation? ➡️ Magnesium
Leg cramps? ➡️ Magnesium
Night terrors? ➡️ Magnesium
Tension/worry? ➡️ Magnesium
Eye twitching? ➡️ Magnesium

Magnesium relaxes muscles, which is why it's so helpful for any type of tension or tightness (cramps, headaches, anxiety, constipation) and helps with sleep.

Magnesium can be taken orally in a capsule form, used topically as a cream, lotion or gel, or added to your bath with Epsom salts or magnesium chloride flakes. We massage Magnesium cream from onto Ellice's feet before bed every night and she loves it:)

Superfoods for breakfast!!

Beef liver and oysters are the most nutrient dense foods you can eat.
You're already eating food, might as well pack in as big of a punch as you can!
These are easy ways to fit them into your family's diets.

🦪The oysters I use are canned and from Zehrs grocery store. My goal is to conquer my fear of shucking and move onto raw oysters.

🐮And the liver...I realize that it doesn't appeal to everyone, so this is a great way to sneak it in, even for yourself:)
➡️Freeze it, then finely grate onto an omelette just as it's cooked. Fold over the egg, and the tiny pieces of liver will be cooked within a couple of minutes.

🥚Also eggs = another nutrient dense source of protein and healthy fat

🥬Add in raw sauerkraut (ingredients of only cabbage and salt) = dose of probiotics to keep your gut happy and healthy.

Believe it or not, the oysters are the first thing gone from Ellice's plate and she devours the liver omelette.
She eats what Mama eats 👍

My experiences in the last few years have completely changed me.

Cancer, miscarriage, growing + birthing a human, becoming a Mother, and 3 very odd years as a collective.
I've spent the last few years going inward, unlearning, opening up, making space, letting go, shifting, and questioning everything. My views and beliefs have completely changed on so many topics....
health, nutrition, cancer, life, death and a lot inbetween.

I have realized that there is a lot we don't hear or know about and that it is up to us to do our own research.
As a result, I've learned a lot about myself, and have discovered so many new and amazing people, products, concepts, ideas and health hacks. I've learned how important it is to stay open to new ideas and beliefs, even (and especially) if they challenge your current ones, to be fluid and flowing, and always open to change.

I'm feeling called to share all I've discovered and learned as it has all made such a significant impact on my life, my health and my wellbeing. My goal is to create a space of questioning, sharing, growing and learning together.

By no means am I an expert, and take nothing I say as the truth. Do your own research, hold onto what resonates with you and let go of the rest. There is A LOT I don't know and have yet to learn.

However, this is what I do know for sure:
👉We are here on this planet to thrive, to rediscover our light and shine it so brightly, to constantly shift, adapt, grow, learn and question, to love ourselves and others and live a life of purpose and passion. Anything less is bu****it and is settling. Anything less is a disservice to ourselves and the world as we all have a purpose and an offering.
👉We are not here to suffer, to feel less than, or to spend our days tired, stressed, anxious, worried, sad, disconnected, and disempowered.
We are not here to keep it all in, to not ruffle feathers, to be liked by everyone, or to dull ourselves to make others more comfortable. There will be ups and downs and with that comes opportunity for growth and learning. It's all up to you.

It's time to take back control of your health and life✨

Thanks for sharing this journey with me💜

✨Ellice Elaine Reis ✨

Thank you for choosing us.
We are so in love💜

Our sweet girl was born on Friday, May 6th at 3:17am. I was 43 weeks + 3 days, and was taught a major lesson in patience, trusting and surrendering to the process.

Her birth didn't exactly go to my "plans", yet in the end, none of that mattered. The only thing that did matter was that a healthy, happy baby joined our family. Ellice is so so sweet and loves to eat and sleep!

What a wild journey this has been, and this is only the beginning:)

Huge thank you to everyone that has reached out in any way to show us and our sweet girl some love. We are forever grateful for our amazing midwives, Madeleine, Mandy and Ellen at Huron Midwives and to our wonderful friend and doula Erin McArthur.
We couldn't have done it without you💜

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.' We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

What a great month!
February was all about outdoor adventures and fun!

Winter camping with on one of the coldest weekends❄️
Skating, hiking, and a constant campfire 🔥
Grateful for not only a wonderful friend, but one who is crazy enough to be as excited as I am about camping in the winter😁

It's been one year since my surgery.

While it seems like a lifetime ago, the emotions have stayed with me.

I lovingly massage my scars every day and smile.
I smile because those scars remind me that I am strong, and powerful and can handle far more than I ever imagined.
I smile because I am grateful for where and who I am today, and grateful for the wake up call that cancer gave me.
That wake up call has brought me here, to this moment, and I feel more alive and lit up than ever before.

This past year has been one of great transformation, diving deep, doing the work, and healing.
Cancer was a message from my body that something was wrong, and that things were out of balance. While I may never know exactly what those things were, I've been focused on doing the work and making the changes necessary to realign, and heal from the core. I will never stop learning, and will never forget the lessons taught to me.

I haven't shared what has happened since the surgery, and have been spending a lot of time with my focus and attention inward lately.
I feel ready to share more....stay tuned:)

Another amazing weekend with Wild Plants program,
working with plants + learning Utilitarian skills🌿⚒️🔥

Hand carved my own tools for digging, basket making, and a bow drill kit, made a Pine Bark Berry basket, and cordage from corn silk. Started the process of making a bowl and spoon using hot coals, and learned how to make my own spark/fire using the bow drill kit!
Hard work, but so very empowering💪

Grateful to learn these ancient + forgotten skills, to spend 2 days working with my hands + tapping into my often ignored creative side, and for gifting myself this time of grounding and connection.

With blisters and cuts on my hands, I was left feeling strong, refreshed, and renewed.
