🇺🇸 Americana Smoothie: A Nutrient-Rich Tribute to Summer 🇺🇸

As a proud American with a birthday close to the 4th of July, celebrating this patriotic occasion holds a special place in my heart. Growing up in Michigan, where summers were synonymous with blueberries, this Americana Smoothie recipe not only pays homage to tradition but also to the nutritional bounty of these vibrant fruits.

In my childhood, summers were marked by trips to the local blueberry farm, just a stone’s throw away from our home. The memories of spending endless days plucking those plump, juicy berries are etched in my mind. My mom often joked about weighing me before and after our picking adventures, considering the amount of blueberries I consumed straight from the bush. Those were indeed cherished times.

One of the main reasons I recommend smoothies is that they are easily digestible for most people. The cell walls are broken down in the blending process, which reduces the stress on the digestive system. If you are still experiencing challenges with digestion, consider scheduling a virtual consultation.

Nutritional Benefits of the Ingredients:

Blueberries: Bursting with antioxidants, blueberries are nutritional powerhouses. These tiny fruits are renowned for their potential to boost brain function and lower the risk of heart disease. Incorporating blueberries into your diet can contribute to overall well-being and vitality.

Strawberries: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, strawberries are not only delicious but also offer numerous health benefits. Vitamin C is essential for a robust immune system and plays a vital role in collagen production, promoting healthy skin and tissue repair.

Cherries: Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, cherries are a delightful addition to any diet. Whether fresh or frozen, cherries provide a burst of flavor along with potential benefits such as reduced muscle soreness and improved sleep quality.

Now, let’s delve into how to make the Americana Smoothie:

Americana Smoothie Ingredients

For the Blue Layer:
– 1 Cup coconut milk
– 1 Cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
– 1 teaspoon honey
– 1 serving vanilla protein powder
– 6-8 ice cubes

For the White Layer:
– 1 Cup coconut milk
– 1 teaspoon honey
– 1 serving vanilla protein shake
– 6-8 ice cubes

For the Red Layer:
– 1 Cup organic cranberry or cherry juice
– 1 Cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
– 1/2 Cup pitted cherries, fresh or frozen
– 1 teaspoon honey
– 1 serving vanilla protein shake
– 6-8 ice cubes

Directions

1. Blend together the ingredients for the blue layer until smooth, then pour the mixture into 3 (or more) glasses. Place the glasses in the freezer for approximately 10 minutes to set.

2. Repeat the blending process for the white layer, then carefully pour it over the blue layer in each glass. Freeze the glasses again for another 10 minutes to allow the layers to solidify.

3. Finally, blend the ingredients for the red layer until smooth, and gently pour it over the white layer in the glasses. Once more, return the glasses to the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up the layers.

4. Before serving, let the smoothie glasses thaw for 10 minutes to achieve the perfect consistency. Garnish each glass with a medley of fresh red and blue berries for an extra patriotic touch.

This Americana Smoothie not only captivates with its vibrant layers but also nourishes your body with an array of essential nutrients. With every sip, you’ll be indulging in the wholesome goodness of antioxidant-rich blueberries, vitamin C-packed strawberries, and inflammation-fighting cherries. So, raise a glass to summer, to tradition, and to your health!

One of the main reasons I recommend smoothies is that they are easily digestible for most. The cells walls are broken down in the blending process so reduces stress of the digestive process. If  you are still having challenges with digestion, consider scheduling a virtual consultation.

Non Dairy CHEDDAR QUESO

/in

CHEDDAR QUESO

INGREDIENTS

1 cup cashews soaked in hot water for one hour or microwaved for 3 minutes 1/4 cup nutritional yeast 2 teaspoons of miso paste or 2 tablespoons sauerkraut without the juice 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon of turmeric 1 – 2 teaspoons smoked paprika 1/4 cup of tapioca/corn starch or arrow root powder 2 cups of water 1 small can of chili peppers A few shakes of your favorite hot sauce

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Add all ingredients except the chilis and hot sauce to a high-speed blender or food processor.

Process and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth (no lumps at all).

Transfer the mixture to a medium-size pot and cook on medium heat, stirring with a whisk continually until the mixture thickens.

Once the cheddar queso gets to a pudding-like texture, remove it from the heat and mix in the chilis and hot sauce.

Pour into a baking dish or a small cast iron skillet, and bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

Some people also enjoy stirring in cooked vegan meat crumbles for some additional taste and texture. We recommend that you limit processed foods like the vegan meat crumbles during the #Shred10 program, but it’s a good hack to know in case you are asked to bring a dip to a party!

I hope this helps, and enjoy your delicious cheddar queso!

Benefits of Fatty Acids for Well-being

/in

We believe that healthy fats are the cornerstone of your health and vitality. In fact, we are so passionate about fats and oils because the science is crystal clear: healthy fatty acids promote optimal health. A diet rich in these beneficial fatty acids can have a profound impact on your wellbeing, ranging from your heart and brain to your skin and hormones.

Some of the key benefits of specific fatty acids include:

Linoleic Acid (Omega-6 Fatty Acid):

Cell Membrane Structure
Healthy cell membranes require linoleic acid for their formation and maintenance. The composition of fatty acids in cell membranes can influence their physical properties, such as thickness, permeability, and elasticity. The content of linoleic acid affects these properties, which in turn impacts how the membrane functions.

Inflammation Control
To regulate inflammation effectively, it’s important to balance omega-6 fatty acids with a 4:1 ratio to ALA. Specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) called lipoxins play a crucial role in the resolution of inflammation and the restoration of tissue homeostasis. They are a class of lipid mediators associated with arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) as their precursor.

Skin Health
Linoleic acid contributes to maintaining the integrity and moisture of the skin, promoting a healthy complexion. It also sustains the skin barrier, hydrates the skin, provides antioxidant protection, supports wound healing, possesses antioxidant properties, and enhances skin texture. Linoleic acid is essential, as your body heavily relies on this fat but cannot produce it; it must be obtained through the diet.

Gamma-Linolenic Acid (Omega-6 Fatty Acid):

Skin and Hair Health
GLA is known to improve skin and hair conditions, making it a valuable nutrient for maintaining a healthy appearance. GLA has potent anti-inflammatory properties, supports healthy nerve functioning, supports cardiovascular health by improving lipid profiles, promotes breast health, aids in weight management, and has been used in the treatment and management of autoimmune conditions.

Hormonal Balance
GLA can also help regulate hormones in the body and may be beneficial for conditions like premenstrual syndrome (PMS).

Alpha-Linolenic Acid (Omega-3 Fatty Acid):

Heart Health
DHA plays a more direct role in heart health, Docosahexaenoic acid has a significant role in supporting heart cell membranes and provides  several additional benefits:
– Lowering triglycerides: DHA is particularly effective at reducing triglyceride levels.
– Reducing arrhythmias: DHA can help stabilize heart rhythm and reduce the risk of arrhythmias.
– Lowering blood pressure: DHA contributes to a reduction in blood pressure.
– Improving endothelial function: DHA may enhance the function of the endothelium, the inner lining of blood vessels, promoting healthy blood flow.

Brain Function
ALA is not directly involved in brain health. DHA is the fatty acid that is essential for brain health. DHA plays a crucial role in supporting neuronal cell membrane structure and function. DHA supports cognitive function and has been shown to support healthy brain functioning as we age.

Inflammation Reduction
When EPA and DHA are incorporated into cell membranes, they can lead to the production of anti-inflammatory eicosanoids such as resolvins, protectins, and maresins, which can benefit ALL individuals but specifically those with Inflammatory conditions like autoimmune disease.

EPA and DHA “Fish Oil” (Omega-3 Fatty Acids):

Heart Health
EPA and DHA are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease by decreasing blood pressure and triglyceride levels.

Brain Function
DHA, in particular, is essential for brain development in infants and cognitive function in adults.

Inflammation Management
Omega-3s are known for their potent anti-inflammatory properties, which  can help reduce the risk of chronic inflammatory conditions.
Fatty acids in the right ratios can drastically strengthen your immune system, support brain function, nurture your gut, improve joint function, and reveal your inner and outer beauty.
Are you ready to embrace the incredible benefits of fatty acids today?

Heavy Metal Detox

/in

Antimony, a naturally occurring metalloid, may not be widely recognized, but its presence in the human body can be a cause for concern. While it is not considered an essential element for bodily functions, individuals often find themselves exposed to antimony through various environmental sources, including air, water, food, and consumer products. This exposure can lead to a range of health issues, making heavy metal detox a crucial consideration. High levels of antimony can result in adverse effects on health, ranging from gastrointestinal discomfort to severe conditions affecting the cardiovascular system, liver, kidneys, and even the central nervous system. In this article, we delve into the potential impact of antimony on health and the importance of proper precautions and regulations to prevent its accumulation in the body.

Antimony can be found in various sources, both natural and man-made.

Some specific sources of heavy metal antimony include:

  1. Soil and rocks: Antimony occurs naturally in the Earth’s crust, so it can be found in soil and rocks. This can lead to its presence in groundwater and drinking water.
  2. Industrial activities: Several industries, such as mining, smelting, and refining of metals, can release antimony into the environment. It’s used in the production of flame retardants, ceramics, glass, batteries, and some plastics, contributing to environmental contamination.
  3. Air pollution: The burning of fossil fuels, waste incineration, and other industrial processes can release antimony into the air. Once airborne, it can settle into soil and water, further increasing its presence in the environment.
  4. Consumer products: Antimony compounds are used in various products such as flame-retardant materials, pigments in paints, and some types of plastics, which could potentially leach small amounts of antimony over time.
  5. Food and beverages: Antimony can also be found in trace amounts in certain foods and beverages due to uptake from soil and water. For instance, it can be found in small amounts in some seafood, vegetables, and drinking water.

These sources contribute to the presence of antimony in the environment and, consequently, potential exposure to humans through various pathways. Understanding and monitoring these sources are important to limit exposure and its potential health impacts.

Baylee's Journey

Homemade Dog Food Recipe

/in

How we transformed our Dog’s Health with Homemade Dog Food recipe and collagen. Meet Baylee, our beloved English Bulldog, who was facing a challenging battle with her hips. As concerned pet parents, we were determined to find a healthier and more holistic solution for her discomfort. Traditional veterinary advice had only offered pain medications as a temporary fix, leaving us seeking alternatives.

Desperate to help Baylee, we turned to the expertise of a pet acupuncturist. While her monthly treatments provided some relief and allowed her to walk for a brief period, we knew that we needed a more sustainable solution. It was during our sessions with the acupuncturist that we learned about a homemade dog food recipe created by one of their colleagues.

At the time, we were feeding Baylee a high-quality dog food from Fromm. While it was a good option, we decided to give the homemade dog food a try, as we were determined to do whatever it took to improve Baylee’s quality of life.

We started incorporating the homemade dog food into Baylee’s diet, mixing it with half of her usual Fromm dry kibble. The results were nothing short of remarkable. Our new veterinarian couldn’t believe that Baylee, a 12-year-old English Bulldog, had shown such a significant improvement in her condition.

homemade dog food

To tailor the homemade dog food to Baylee’s specific needs, we made a few adjustments. Baylee didn’t tolerate coconut oil well, so we reduced the amount by half.

Additionally, we introduced a liquid Pet Collagen supplement into her diet. These changes played a crucial role in her ability to walk and live a more comfortable life.

Baylee and pet collagen

We also incorporated digestive enzymes, probiotics and liver support. For those interested in the supplements we used, we have found a natural source for them. You can save off your first order by following the provided link. These supplements made a substantial difference in Baylee’s overall health and vitality.

If you’re looking for a convenient and affordable way to access a wide range of natural products for both people and pets, consider joining our Fullscript dispensary. You’ll gain access to discounts on over 20,000 natural products, and we’re more than happy to share our recommendations.

We hope that Baylee’s story inspires other pet owners to explore homemade dog food as a healthier alternative for their furry family members. By making this switch, you can witness remarkable transformations in your dog’s well-being, just as we did with our beloved Baylee.

Women and Weight-lifting

The significance of women and weight-lifting becomes particularly pronounced as they go through menopause. I had the delightful opportunity today to converse with Certified Personal Trainer and Holistic Health Coach Lisa Dittmar of Dittmar Fitness. I invite you to spare a moment to view this concise video, which elucidates the reasons why women, particularly during the menopausal phase, should incorporate weightlifting into their routines.

Whether you’re contemplating dipping your toe in the “workout world” or your current fitness regimen just isn’t giving you the results you need, it’s important to understand what’s happening to our bodies as we approach and enter menopause.

In this episode we discuss hurdles that keep us from taking the first step, myths about women building skeletal muscle, having the confidence to start making changes and how to go about it staying injury-free. As menopausal women, we lose muscle mass and strength at a rapid rate if we’re inactive. Due to hormonal changes, it’s more difficult for us to maintain muscle, let alone BUILD muscle. Sarcopenia (loss of muscle) can lead to problems with mobility, falls, and loss of independence. 

In our upcoming episode we’ll discuss specific changes needed in the way we exercise. The old “ride or die” and “cardio til we drop” templates are thrown out the door! It’s all about progressive overload training with SIT and mobility work. We’re excited to share this information with you and hear about your success in making the changes!

What is Autointoxication

/in

What is autointoxication? Have you considered how your Digestive Health impacts your whole body? Understanding the link between bowel function and chronic health issues is key.

When it comes to our health, we often underestimate the importance of a smoothly functioning digestive system. Did you know that problems in your bowel can have a ripple effect throughout your body, leading to various chronic health issues? Let’s break down this complex topic into simpler terms.

Slow Bowel Movements and Their Consequences

Ever experienced infrequent bowel movements? This could be a sign that your digestive system is moving sluggishly, allowing fecal matter to stay in your intestines for too long. This extended time in your intestines gives bacteria the opportunity to break down waste and absorb water, resulting in dry and hard stool. Sounds like a problem? It is.

This slow process can lead to a phenomenon called “autointoxication,” where toxins and harmful substances produced by bacteria and fungi in your intestines must be absorbed into your bloodstream, processed by your liver, and eliminated by your kidneys. This puts a heavy burden on your body as it tries to maintain health amidst the onslaught of these toxins.

The Domino Effect on Your Health

As if that weren’t enough, the waste products and toxins created during this bacterial and fungal action can cause inflammation in the lining of your intestines. This inflammation triggers an immune response and is often associated with conditions like “leaky gut syndrome” and fibromyalgia. These health issues have gained attention in recent years, but what’s often overlooked is their deep-rooted connection to poor digestion and autointoxication.

Your Immune System and Digestion

If you suffer from any inflammatory disorder, it’s likely that your immune problems are intricately linked to autointoxication and poor digestion. It’s becoming increasingly clear that chronic degenerative diseases, which involve chronic inflammation, are closely related to deficiencies in food enzymes. In fact, the 1988 Surgeon General’s Report on Health and Nutrition emphasized the dietary link to these diseases.

Enzymes: Your Body’s Defense

Enzymes play a crucial role in defending your body against bacteria, viruses, chemical irritants, and inflammation from various sources. If you often experience symptoms like fever, redness, swelling, pain, or soreness, it could be a sign of food enzyme deficiency. While this deficiency may not be the direct cause of a disease, it’s certainly a significant contributing factor.

Undigested Food and Inflammation

When your body struggles to digest food properly due to enzyme deficiency or overeating, it faces a substantial challenge. Undigested food particles can travel through your digestive tract, where they can start to putrefy, creating chemicals that irritate the lining of your gastrointestinal tract. This inflammation can significantly increase the permeability of your gut wall, allowing partially digested food particles to enter your bloodstream as foreign invaders.

Taking Action for Better Health for Bowel Function and Chronic Health Issues

So, what can you do to improve your digestive health and potentially alleviate symptoms of chronic inflammatory disorders? Consider making dietary modifications and including food enzyme supplements in your routine. These supplements can enhance digestion and help your body better absorb the nutrients it needs.

In conclusion, your digestive health has a significant impact on your overall well-being. Understanding the connection between your bowel function, autointoxication, and chronic health issues can empower you to take proactive steps toward a healthier, more vibrant life.

waiting for happiness

Waiting for Happiness

Stop Waiting for Happiness

Are you constantly waiting for happiness to show up? I spent the majority of my life waiting which ended up dealing with constant anxiety and even depression. Here is what helps me every day to experience more happiness, less stress, less anxiety and way less depression. We have two mindsets we can focus on daily: simply stated negative thoughts and positive thoughts. According to Shirzad Chamine, author of Positive Intelligence, they are also labeled as the Saboteurs and the Sage perspective.

Naming the Negative Voices

The Judge is our main saboteur or put simply the instigator of most negative thoughts. The Judge finds fault with self, others, and circumstances. This saboteur causes much of our disappointment, anger regret, guilt, shame and anxiety. It also activates our accomplish saboteurs such as the Pleaser, Controller, Hyper-Achiever and more.

Lie #1 – You’ll Be Happy When…

One of the biggest and most damaging lies your Judge tells you every day is this…”Your current situation and circumstances are not good enough for you to be happy. You will be happy when ______.” Fill in the blank.

So think about how your Judge has finished this sentence all through your life. You will be happy…

  • When you finally grow up and become independent from your parents.
  • When you get into that college,
  • When you graduate,
  • When you get that job,
  • When you get that promotion,
  • When you buy that house,
  • When you find that relationship,
  • When you have that child, and so on, and so on

Now, think about it, when you finally got what you thought would make you forever happy. How long did your happiness last before your Judge again said “actually you don’t have what you need to be happy”.

“You will be happy when” and it created a new target so you could finally be happy one day.

Therefore, it’s important to ask yourself these questions:

  • What is your Judge’s lie right now?
  • What are you unhappy about right now?
  • What situation or circumstance is bothering you right now that you’re waiting to change so you can be happy one day?

Whatever you are waiting for so you can be happy ONE day is the latest lie of your judge.

Tapping into the Positive Sage Mode

Likewise, your Sage knows that you have everything you need right now to be happy that’s because happiness depends entirely on which part of your brain is activated and dealing with your life’s challenges and what emotions you’re experiencing.

The Sage perspective is about accepting what is, rather than denying, rejecting, or resenting what is. Therefore, our Sage accepts every outcome and circumstance as a gift and opportunity. Our Sage is the exact opposite of many of the negative assumptions of the Judge.

For example, if you have failed at something your Sage would be focused on converting that failure into a gift using the five Sage modes of being deeply empathic, or curious, or creative, purpose driven or in calm, laser focused, clear headed action.

All these five Sage modes generate positive emotions, ranging from empathy, compassion and gratitude, to wonder, the joy of creativity to peace and calm.

When you’re feeling all these positive emotions, you’re happy, even if life circumstances haven’t gone your way. Therefore, happiness is an inner state of mind.

When you feel positive emotions, you have everything you need to be happy right now. Today intercept your Judge’s lie that you can’t be happy until something changes in your life. Therefore, stop waiting to be happy One day, choose to be happy Today.

If you are struggling, I get it and am here to help. In addition, you can take the Positive Intelligence assessment to identify your unique saboteurs. This is a quick 5 minute assessment that I can help you unpack during our time together.
