Unpretty simple nutrition!

I am trying to get back into the habit of doing stir fry’s once or twice a week because it is fast and easy way to pack in veggies. Here is how I build my bowl!

Sprouted brown rice! It increases the nutrients and reduces the anti-nutrients of rice. And it is so easy to make and I don’t have to worry about soaking and washing since that was done before sprouting them.

Frozen veggies with added onions, garlic, and spices. It is an easy way to just cut up an onion and prep garlic and the cook. Very little prep and frozen veggies tend to be fresher than fresh store bought veggies because they are frozen shortly after harvest. And it cuts down on prep. They cook up very well!

Protein is what you have or in the mood for. I used beef in this, but you can use beans or any source of protein. I have not tried it with fish.

Kimchi I added after reheating for gut heath and flavor. Momma hates the smell and I can’t get her to eat it, but if you go down the rabbit hole of kimchi, you will find it has a ton of benefits!

Food does not need to be complicated or hard. And rice can be made ahead and frozen in portion sizes that will also reduce its blood sugar hit.

Example of lack of nuance and market manipulation.

This is in a supplement guide put out by a health food store. And while I love the store, and I am pro taking supplements, here is why I am not a fan of these kinds of tactics.

1. It puts you in the mindset of being able to out supplement a bad diet. It might not be their intention, but that is what it tells your brain. Instead of reaching for Whole Foods, your mind will say to reach for a pill because you can get “more” from a pill and it is cheaper than 5 cups of organic strawberries.

2. It makes you think that the vitamin c found in strawberries is the same form and will work the same way a pill will work. Most people don’t know that most of the vitamin c you find in supplements is not in the most bio available form and does not work the same way as food vitamin c. It is still good to have on hand, and depending on what you have going on, can still be beneficial. But it is not the same.

3. Back to the idea that it is the same, one amazing thing that God did with real whole food is he put so many other companion nutrients and co-factors for total nutrition. Not just an isolated nutrient (which is sometimes needed).

4. A pill cannot cool you down or heat you up easily. What I mean is that by doing food and herbs do a lot more than just nutrition. It helps to bring thermal balance to the body.

Do get me wrong, this picture is factually accurate. The loss of the nutrients found in food is astounding! Don’t get me started on selenium or iodine! But food is also so much more than nutrition!! It is cellular information, thermal regulation, companion nutrients, and food for all three parts of the person!

Supplements are a fact of modern healthy living and I don’t know where I would be without them! But we, both as consumers and as someone who recommends supplements, need to keep in mind is that the supplement industry is growing and was valued at over $203 Billion last year. And with something that big, it also has a dark side.

So eat good food, and supplement lightly. And if you don’t know what you need, or what your body might be able to use, that is what I am here for!

Growing your own food is hard. There is a major learning curve, mistakes are made, and you hurt in areas you can’t name. Tears are shed as often as you laugh until your sides hurt (which you can name).

But you wanna know what makes it worth it? Not just know where, how, and what your food is, but also knowing that you are doing your best to honor the lives that God granted you to steward.

8 more roosters are in my freezer. I still have 15 more birds to process. 6 will go to a neighbor, 2 to a good friend, 1 as a thank you to my goat breeder, and the rest in our freezer.

And in a few weeks, we will be getting baby chicks! But first, I need to get the shed done and my garage in better shape!

But tonight, I will take all the herbs, PEA, and be grateful for God’s abundance and the opportunity to do better!

For most people, their digestive fire is too low. So I rarely recommend powdered greens because they tend to be cold foods and then either cold water or milk. So it makes them extra cold and shuts down their digestion.

But what to do when your body is craving green drinks for nutrients but your digestion is still not fired up enough? You use oat straw infusion as your liquid base!

Oats, including oat straw, are warming foods to the body. So with the greens, it makes the drink neutral if drunk at room temp (which is what I do). Plus, oat straw is a deeply nutritive herb that is mineral rich and helps to nourish the adrenals!

This green drink is a mix of 3 green powders (not at full dose), collagen powder with extra antioxidants, and then my super aminos for protein! I think tomorrow I will add a small amount of allulose as some extra prebiotic fiber and GLP-1 enhancer. u

Liver mix for tonight’s flush, oat straw infusion for greens tomorrow, and a ginger hard candy because the liver mix is… not pleasant.

Now I go lay on my right side with knees up for 30 minutes. Then sleep!

The original plan was to teach a class on both iodine and selenium... but, as I am working on info dumping and the outline for the class, I think I will need to do just a class on iodine and just a class on selenium.

Both of these mineral are key for both hormonal health and overall health. Both are key for cancer prevention with iodine playing special roles in breast cancer prevention!

Stay tuned! I am looking for the class to be the first of February and hopefully not 3 hours long (I pray)!

There will be a small fee, but you will also get the iodine guide with it for free and the replay and slides!

More thoughts on this...

As I was awake last night, it occurred to me how absurd it is that so many of us got excited about what the government says about food? Or how many of us feel validated by the government by it saying much along the lines of what we have been saying?

Why is this important? Because food has been used as a weapon since the start of time. Genesis 1 anyone?

While I like some of what the guidelines are saying, it gives me pause as to how this will eventually be used as a weapon against the people.

Second, these new guidelines do at least touch on nutrient dense foods. One of the most pervasive myths is that it only matters on calories. Or the uneducated idea of calories in calories out.

The body will demand more calories as a backup system for fuel. However, if you increase your nutrients, both macro and micro nutrients, the body will slowly start to readjust and need fewer calories.

In all honesty, I feel like this is a move to make us happy with little change. I will still be advocating for bio-individuality with both food and lifestyle regardless of what the "almighty"government says. Even if it aligns more with how I teach.

If anyone tries to tell you that there is a one size fits all diet, please give them a smile and then disregard all that follows from their advice!

And if you do not believe me, go look at the thousands of years of TCM. Food needs change based on so many things! Even the weather!

Overall, I am encouraged with the new guidelines! A lot of it is what we see with things like the Weston A Price foundation and how I was taught.

Thankfully, they kept both beans and whole grains (which both are super foods) on there.

Let me know what you think about the new guidelines or if you have nutrition questions!

Just saw the new dietary recommendations. I am looking at them now and will try to make a video later about my thoughts!

Happy New Year!

Ok, so I have been so busy, I did not realize that it was the last day of the year until today!

I am still in the process of praying, plotting, and planning with God to see what he wants from me in the next year.

So hopefully tomorrow I will let you in on some of my plans for the year!

But until then, keep this in mind, if you strive to to just do 1% better each day, rather than drastic changes, you will be 365% better than you are today by this time next year!

So focus on choosing better foods, get as much plant medicine that is best for you, get lots of movement in a way that brings you joy, and you will be amazed at how much better you will be!

And remember, I am here to support you in your health and wellness! Either to work with you one on one, or even just to pray for you!

Mid cycle bleeding or bleeding during ovulation: what is going on?

Full disclosure, I have had this the last two months and no matter what anyone tells you, it is not normal. But what does it mean?

During the first half, or follicular phase (days 1-14 roughly), estrogen builds to it’s highest at ovulation so the uterine lining builds, an egg is released, and the body is ready to be home to a sweet baby.

After ovulation, estrogen drops off quickly and progesterone starts its climb to help the body get pregnant. It is more of they kinda meet in the middle and then progesterone continues to climb.

Back to a mid cycle bleed. This happens when estrogen drops and there is not enough progesterone to keep the uterine lining in place for a possible fertilized egg to get cozy.

So a mid cycle bleed is a classic sign of low progesterone. Why? Because progesterone also drops just before a period to signal that a fertilized egg has not implanted.

What the body thinks at a mid cycle when there is not enough estrogen or progesterone at ovulation is that it is time to have a period. And when a mid cycle bleed happens, the period that comes 12-14 days later is likely going to not be an easy one.

As someone going through this, and a practitioner, here is what this is telling me. The body is needing extra cortisol, either because of high stress, unstable blood sugar, illness, or not enough cortisol due to the above or other issues.

To help support the body, rather than add in progesterone, the body needs help with the issues that are making it prioritize cortisol production over progesterone. Once the body’s need for proper cortisol is addressed, the body will naturally start producing more progesterone and the mid cycle bleed sill stop.

I write all of this because I hear all the time from women that their doctor told them a mid cycle bleed is normal. And while it is normal, it is far from optimal in overall health and healthy periods!
