The Organic South

The Organic South Typically the South isn't thought of as a healthy place, but our mission is to change that. We bring health & wellness resources to residents of the South.

So who am I? My name is Eliza Bacot and my journey in health actually started in grade school. I just knew in my heart I would be in the medical field. I loved the human body and became fascinated with the understanding of how it all worked together on such a microscopic level. So I chose a path in medicine and critical care. Moving from registered nurse to acute care nurse practitioner and practicing for the last 13 years has opened my eyes to the extreme amount of disease we are suffering from in this country, especially in the south. My own personal journey with wellness began over 6 years ago, when watching many of my patients suffer I began to explore what true wellness related to food, chemicals and lifestyle meant. It has been a long journey of understanding, research, practice and change that has led me to reaching a greater state of wellness. Naturally, as a health care provider I WANT THAT FOR YOU TOO. I don't want to just meet the needs of the sick I want to keep you from getting sick! So this page is dedicated to inspiring and encouraging you to feed your body with clean, nutrient dense food, to reduce the chemical load in your life and to help you do the small things in this life that can have a big impact in remaining well. My why of helping people hasn't changed but the mission of focusing on wellness instead of trying to fix sickness certainly has. Thank you for choosing to join me on this journey!

Yes! I EAT ALL THE THINGS OVER THE HOLIDAYS! Just because I am a health nut doesn’t mean I don’t love food! I eat very healthy the majority of the time and YES I also indulge during the holidays and eat gluten and sugar and drink a bit of wine. The difference is for me (and hopefully for all my clients that I have coached) is that my body tells ok this is enough. And guess what?! Feeling better over tasting rich food became the absolute necessity for my body. When you eat a diet composed of mainly vegetables, fruits, organic meats and gluten free grains you absolutely will notice the difference when you over consume gluten (man cannot live off bread alone!) and sugar. The bloat comes, fingers swell, joints ache, sleep suffers and you are moody. There are over 30 studies documenting the effects of gluten on just your mood alone! Sugar affects almost every system in a negative way (hello your immune system!). So yes, I love the holidays and shocker I eat all the things! BUT it’s always a reminder why I love my healthy lifestyle, love my work teaching others about health and love taking recipes and always putting healthy spins on them!! Who is ready for a new year healthy reset?! 😂🙋🏻‍♀️

Replacing the typical Christmas Eve post with what has been on my heart this last month. I was always mesmerized by Esther when I was little. Her strength, her courage, her faith. I began last week playing the audio story over and over again. And what kept coming to me was wow Lord how do I raise an Esther in a jezebel world? The jezebel world worships idols, Esther had faith in God and fasted for three days before making a big move. The jezebel world gets their way through deceit and manipulation while Esther strategically aligned her goals with her gifts. The jezebel world comes to eventual ruin while the Esther saves a nation. So…how do I raise this Esther amongst a sea of jezebels and ahabs? I teach her over and over in her joy and her sorrow to turn her eyes to God. You remind her endlessly that her gifts and strengths begin and end with wisdom that can only come from Him. You encourage her to focus on the things that aren’t fleeting and that comparison is for the weak. You remind her that to lead like a Queen she first has to submit. You relinquish her daily in prayer to the one that made her. You drawer a prayer circle around the man that will one day lead her. You relentlessly pursue and correct the lies that come out of the world by yes sometimes shouting, that’s a lie from the enemy! Raising an Esther in a jezebel world takes an exhausting amount of effort. Effort that every day takes prayers for help and direction. But I won’t give up ever. I will repeat the truth in her ears until one day she realizes and knows what it was all for.
3And she prayed to the Lord the God of Israel, saying: O my Lord, who alone art our king, help me a desolate woman, and who have no other helper but thee. Esther 14:3

After living in a flooding house for two months and with landlords and an agent who ignored us. We finally found our breakthrough. Housing has been so hard here. And when you are a family and it’s your “safe haven”, your place to land it can feel so unsettling. I have never appreciated a home more. Truly suffering through 5 moves has grown so much gratitude in me for just simple housing that fits our family’s needs. So what changed? We asked and got prayer covering. We sowed a seed. I made a list. Gave it to God. And He honored our seed by, as He does so often, bringing a harvest. Here’s to our fifth move here in two years. Here’s to this house being THE house that brings joy and laughter, sharing of open hearts and tears, gifts of hospitality and warmth for years to come. My French friend said, well this is Provence, it’s cool and chill here we don’t need a word for breakthrough 😂 well this family partnered in prayer with mentors here in the field and mentors abroad and it has come to pass 🙌🙌🙌

Two years ago at our YWAM training it became very clear to me that I was to stop running my practice the way I was doing it. It was very clear I was to ask daily. God what is the work you want me to do today? God who is ready to be helped now? God only bring the clients or the practitioners to me that ready for real change. And two years later…I may seem less successful in the eyes of the world but yesterday at the end of a client call the client asked a question about me. I answered and this ended with this particular client praying an incredibly healing prayer over my work and the work we do in France. That’s what can happen when you stop chasing ambition in the world works and only work the way He wants you to. And I can tell you this. The clients I have helped the last two years all have incredible stories. There are things that certainly we can only do with the ambition that comes Him.

And ode to Summer…from the vineyards of Provence to the rolling hills of Georgia, from the fresh coast of Cassis to the quiet beaches of Windmark, Florida, from the fresh food markets to the concrete jungle supermarkets…from best friends in France to heart home best friends in Georgia. My heart just cannot download these opposite cultures. I took an entire summer off social media to be fully present for my kids who need me during this emotional trip home. Home is such a funny concept to me now and even I cannot fully understand how my heart lives between two vastly different worlds. Gosh I love them both for really different reasons. I can’t quite explain the love I have for France but returning always feels like the right direction when we step on the plane. Being in an American church and not translating or thinking but just falling into worship and deep prayer with so many tears was like a balm to my heart. I cannot fully explain how different these two worlds are for us….I probably won’t even try because they both are so different and hold such a different place in my heart. I am grateful for them both for such different reasons. After the first two years of intense culture integration and paperwork…ahhh do I have hope for what the third year will bring. 🌻🌻 If anyone has an amazing, thought provoking definition of home I would love to hear in the comments 👇🏻

“Hey mom, I know your birthday is coming up soon, I have some dollars so I am going to buy you a Lamborghini”
Says George with the biggest smile on his face💛

Leaving the hustle behind, walking into the complete feminine side of myself and immersing myself in how to mother three leaders has been by far the hardest work I have ever done. But I know it’s the time. Distracted and busy is the biggest lie of our generation keeping us from true alignment and wellness.

Un grand merci .aix for this mom/daughter self care moment! It was her birthday ☺️ and it was so special…Green nails to match her matcha..this nail salon is perfection! I have executed four birthday parties and two baby showers in the last of five weeks…just call me an event planner now 😂. It was amazing but now I need a break! But seriously….I am now ushering in a few weeks of self care…I never did this before after a season of work and the rhythm of self care after a busy season is VITAL for survival! More on this to come this month as we talk about seasons of work and rest in our wellness routines! For now watch me prendre soin de moi! Alors, après ça je peux prendre soins des autres mieux 🙏🏻🙌🏻🫶🏻

I rarely ever see this child still. It’s been a rough week of a virus that hit him hard and a birthday 🥳. I will take all the birthday snuggles. Microbes are inevitable and they activate the immune system and create a memory that serves us in the future. Remember that your immune system and the protective aspects of a fever are what truly knock viruses to the curb. I also did these things to support his immune system this week:
1.) Tons of vitamin C in the form of oranges/pureed oranges and tangerines
2.) Vitamin D 3000 iu daily
3.) Zinc + elderberry lozenges
4.) Onguard beadlets woth cinnamon/clove
5.) Immune avenger by herb pharm
6.) Lots of water with Doterra electrolytes
7.) Let his fever ride
8.) Topical oils with frankincense, onguard blend, copaiba

Things are changing in my home country. I feel so confident to know I stood by my choices for my health and the health of my family. Remember your mother instincts about the care and interventions they need reign supreme over any government systems that say, “you should do this.” Every decision I have made with prayerful vigilance.

Every supportive tool you need for the body to thrive can be found in nature. 🌱Yes sometimes we need modern medicine but most of the time if we are making the right choices we won’t.

Fresh off Thanksgiving holidays and right into Christmas festivities. I would be lying if I didn’t say I am totally overwhelmed with 3 kids, 3 schools and trying to make a place that is not home according to my kids « feel like home » Working overtime to make the season amazing for these three tiny people who have had big changes. But this morning as I was preparing the gingerbread building station I thought what’s the point of all this if I am frustrated while doing it. And overwhelmed. So it’s a signal to me to rest. Time for a spontaneous getaway or something that refills my mama cup is so needed. So I am making like a plant this winter and going to hibernate a little. It’s ok. You can too the world will still turn. You don’t need anyone else’s permission to rest if you need it! ❄️

Age. Is. A. Number. Please do not accept the standard response “it’s probably just natural aging.” FALSE! Even the myth that metabolism slowing happens has been disproven until your late sixties! Especially if combatted with muscle building and adequate protein intake! Please don’t let age be an excuse to stop caring for your health. If you start to experience the symptoms above your body IS giving you a hint that there is an imbalance. Don’t accept that it’s aging and look for the imbalance! Aging well, feeling great are all about the little things you choose to do each day to preserve your health!
