Plant based “meat” replacements…are they better or different than meat? You bet they are!! The industry looks at level of protein. But food is so much more then the macros. Meat from animals who eat a wide variety of plants are actually better then plant based. It’s all in the micro details. There are plants we can’t eat, but the animals can. Standard American meat is loaded with chemicals, hormones and “GMO corn”. Again, you are what your food eats!!

EWG has released a map of all the testing in multiple species for PFAS…the forever chemicals associated with Teflon and water proofing. These chemicals cause a lot of illness in humans(watch “the devil we know”). In the 1980s we knew every human on the planet had PFAS in their blood. Now we see how we’ve poisoned the whole plant’s wildlife. Check out the EWG.org. This is why I look at “nature” in rural areas as contaminated 😢. Being rural doesn’t protect you from anything.

Study out last week showed BPAs in workout bras made from recycled bottles! If you’ve made all the changes in your diet, water, personal care products, supplements and vitamins and you still have issues think about what you’re wearing. I know it’s overwhelming, always toxins in places we haven’t thought about. One thing you can count on is more and more toxins. Recall BPA is basically estrogen. BTW it was found in mens workout shirts too😳.

Let’s jump on it when it’s in initial stages of insulin and blood sugar before it even gets to diabetes II!

Estimate put autoimmune issues in the US at 50 million Pts😳. Pts are put on medication to suppress the immune system but no one asks”why is this person’s immune system attacking their own cells??” What can make your immune system think it’s not you: food with GMO, food with herbicides and pesticides, artificial colors and flavors, molecules that have been exposed to too much sugar, etc. if you have an autoimmune label seek help from a practitioner who will ask why!!
