Aurora on our deck tonight in Virginia! My part Nordic soul is squealing. My great grandmother’s family was from northern Norway, where the northern lights are. I’ve always wanted to see them! ❤️

When we see chronically stressed organs, there is often an emotional connection. Bioenergetic scans can show which organs are chronically stressed, giving greater awareness of what needs our loving attention and care to improve our health and wellbeing.

We aren’t made of separate disconnected parts. What we feel impacts how we function, right down to our cells. ❤️‍🩹

🍁🎃🍂❤️ Dear friends,

I hope this finds you peaceful as we start a new season! And here’s hoping it brings you some lovely fall walks 🍁, greater alignment with what serves you, and release of what doesn’t. ❤️

🥞 Here’s a little taste of our morning routine with a recipe for breakfast currently on rotation at our house. I love how it fills the kitchen with cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove - the smells of Fall! ❤️

It’s a take on a similar recipe we created last year, but we’ve taken out the refined flour and replaced it with a mix of whey protein, pea protein, and almond flour. It’s better for balanced blood sugar, and yum!

🧡 These gluten-free pumpkin spice protein pancakes are a seasonal, kid-approved, protein-rich, & nutrient-dense way to start the day.

Sweetened with banana 🍌 and sweet potato 🍠, they offer 207% of your daily vitamin A and 16.5g of protein to support your immune system as you head into the season. ✨ They’re sweet, so no need to add maple syrup, but delightful with a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips, walnuts, and mixed berries. Serve with a side of scrambled eggs to really up your protein game. 🥞❤️

Recipe Here:
1 1/4 cup h**p milk
4 eggs
2 small sweet potatoes, peeled
1/2 overripe banana
1/2 cup fine almond flour
1/4 cup (1 scoop) vanilla grass fed whey protein
1/2 cup (2 scoops) pumpkin spice protein powder - I used Truvani
1.5 tsp pumpkin spice seasoning
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp xanthan gum (great for gluten free baking)

- Depending on thickness of batter, add up to 1/4 tsp water to thin
- optional add ins: mini chocolate chips, pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds 🍪🌰
- Top with berries 🍓🫐🍓🫐

Makes 6 servings.

The nutrition for 1 serving (2 six-inch pancakes):

Calories: 194
Protein: 16.5g
Fat: 8.7g
Carbohydrates: 13.6g
Vitamin A: 207% (6201 IU)
Vitamin C: 5.2% (5.2mg)
Calcium: 11.2% (112mg)

Let me know if you give them a try!

Wishing you peace & good health, always xx

✨🧡 All the more reason to say yes to pumpkin, sweet potato, & apple! Seasonal foods are good for your health and the environment. 🍁❤️

🍎 Seasonal & local produce is often more nutrient-dense. It is typically allowed to ripen naturally on the plant or vine. This increases the levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants compared to out-of-season produce, which is often picked early and transported long distances, decreasing valuable nutrients throughout the process. Optimal nutrient intake leads to better energy and overall health.

🥬 Seasonal eating can improve dietary variety, helping to ensure an adequate intake of diverse nutrients year-round. This can improve the diversity of your microbiome and lower the risk of chronic illnesses.

🌳 Eating in harmony with the rhythm of nature can actually support your health. For example, fall foods in season, such as pumpkins, apples, sweet potatoes, and root vegetables tend to be richer in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin A and C. These nutrients support immune function and help prepare the body for colder weather by improving overall resilience to seasonal illnesses. Fall fruits & veg align with the body’s changing needs doing the season, offering more warming options that aid in digestion and energy balance as the weather cools.

🌎 Eating seasonal and locally produced foods is also good for the earth. These foods require less resources to grow and transport, which means less environmental impact. Choosing seasonal foods supports local farmers, reduces your carbon footprint, & ensures you are eating fresher, healthier produce - all of which leads to better health for you and mother earth.

🧡 Always listen to your body first and choose the foods that agree with you.

🍁 Let this be your gentle nudge to explore a fall festival, pick up some local produce, and enjoy healthy & nutrient-dense pleasures of the season.

Wishing you peace & good health, always! xx ❤️🕊️
