Food Heals by Jane

Yesterday was spent away from home catching up with family. Eating out can be a problem when you have lots of food intolerances. I chose simply. Bacon and eggs for lunch. Dinner was steak eggs and salad. Simple but very good.

It's been a busy time over the last week with one on one consults. I work with the client with their lifestyle and food preferences and health goals. No plan is the same as the next. I don't sell supplements or tell you to weigh your food. I use good old fashioned food in a way that heals the digestive system and heals the body and mind. Do you have a health issue that needs addressed? Have you tried everything else and you're fed up? Message me for a chat and make an appointment. I would love to help you.

I wasn't well yesterday. I was laid low with a tummy bug. I found it interesting what my instincts were for recovery. I just wanted to drink cups of meat stock. Perfect. I always keep jars of stock in freezer. Gentle and healing on digestive system. With extra salt it worked great as an electrolyte.

How do you make cauliflower mash extra creamy? Add some eggs.

Joint pain can also be caused by the veges you eat. If you eat a diet high in oxalates then joint pain will be normal for you.

Most people grow up thinking joint pain is just part of “getting older.” But the truth is far less mysterious — and far more uncomfortable to accept.

Your joints don’t suddenly start hurting because your birthday numbers increased. They hurt because your body has been quietly drowning in inflammation for decades. And inflammation doesn’t come out of nowhere… it comes from what you feed yourself every single day.

For years, most of us have lived on a diet built on sugar, seed oils, processed grains, and ultra-processed junk. These foods don’t just spike your insulin — they ignite inflammation in your gut, your bloodstream, and ultimately your joints.

Over time, that inflammation becomes chronic.
And chronic inflammation becomes pain.
And then we blame “age.”

But age isn’t the villain — your diet is.

When you remove the inflammatory garbage and switch to real, nutrient-dense foods like meat, eggs, butter, and organs, something amazing happens:
Your inflammation drops. Your energy rises. Your joints recover. Your body finally gets to heal instead of constantly fighting.

Your body isn’t broken. It’s just reacting to the fuel you’ve been giving it.

Change the fuel, and you change everything.

Taking bread out of your diet can improve diabetes, weight, skin issues like eczema, digestive issues, behavioral problems in children, arthritis....and the list goes on and on. Humans have only been eating bread relatively recently in our time here on this planet. Before that we ate a diet high in meat and fat. Archeologists can see from bones that when we started eating grains our brains got smaller, our height decreased, arthritis and tooth decay started to occur. Bread is not a healing food. I don't care if it's made from organic spelt flour and then sourdoughed or whether it's the cheapest budget bread you can afford, bread is not healthy!!!

Another common reoccurring theme with clients is a diet very high in the plant toxin oxalates. We have been led to belief that these very trendy foods are healthy and doing us good. But foods like potatoes, spinach, silverbeet, beetroot, chia seeds, nuts, cacao, kumara, rhubarb and most gluten and gluten free grains are actually causing a great deal of harm to our bodies. If you would like to know more message me for an appointment.

I had a client this morning who listed off a lot of supplements that were being taken. I looked at them in horror. Some of them could be worsening their health conditions. Others were totally unnecessary. On a good gut healing diet you shouldn't need to be popping pills or supplements. Work on diet first.

Humans are hunter gatherers. That's what our bodies are designed to eat. For many thousands of years we predominantly ate meat, with perhaps the odd herb, vege or fruit. Then along came agriculture 10,000 years ago and we started to grow our own veges, grains for making a type of bread (very different to what we call bread today) and fruit trees and bushes. Yes to a certain extent our bodies would have adapted to eating this way. But I find it fascinating to learn from anthropologists that at the time of agriculture they started seeing bones with arthritis, tooth decay, shorter stature and smaller brains. That says a lot. Then along comes towns and cities and factory food. And we're seeing today very few people with robust health. Our ancestors would not have recognised our food today. Trim milk, tins of baked beans, bread, two minute noodles, jam, cereal, cakes, biscuits, margarine, canola oil... and the list goes on. What are we doing to ourselves by eating this way? Our bodies are designed to eat meat primarily. Add in vegetables and fruit if you wish, but not to excess. It's time to listen to the whispers of our ancestors and see what is right before our eyes. Poor food choices equals poor health outcomes. Are you up for the challenge?
