This week she has another incredible guest coming — Jon White!
It may be a little early (or late), but you can click “listen again” after the original airing.

Symptom? Before you consider what to take, why not consider what to take away? 🤔

Market day in Whitby … We’ve got the tops and the herbs, so it’s also chimichurri day!
Time to chop, wash, organize and EAT!

Welcome to “fairy dusting” food labels!

Healthy eaters now know that industrial seed oils like canola, safflower, soybean et al are oxidative and inflammatory. The flip side is the benefits of healthy monounsaturated fats like olive and avocado oil.

Big food is trying to take advantage. So, enter these versions of mayonnaise at Ontario supermarkets. The front in big bold lettering boasts that THIS mayo uses proper oils. But go to the back label, and see what the lead (most prevalent) ingredient is. Side note: calcium disodium EDTA is a preservative also used in cosmetics and industrial products. So there’s also that.

I love washing / chopping / prepping day.
It isn’t just the local haul, nutrient density, excitement for fresh food.
It’s an opportunity to practice “removing the friction”. ( An idea from Atomic Habits … )

If you want to create a habit of healthy eating, remove the friction of getting everything ready ahead of time. How many times do you buy fresh vegetables, shove them into piles in the refrigerator, and a week or two later throw them all away? Because each time you went for a salad, stir fry, or steaming pot, the idea of chopping and washing was too daunting. Mine is done. Ready. They stay fresher longer, and they’re ready to eat.

And now on Monday or whatever day, I’ll open the drawer, grab them, and make a favourite meal.

DO IT!
We can do this!

Simple primal lunch.

Salt a rack of ribs, toss it into an instant pot on high pressure for 25 mins.
Depressurize, brush with olive oil that has salt and pepper.
Quarter up a zucchini and brush with oil, salt n pepper.
Finish the ribs on the bbq, grill The zucchini until it’s soft to your liking.
I threw some fresh basil leaves on.
Boom.
We can do this.

Once I decide who I am and what I do, I can simply follow the process. What would one who does X do in a given situation?

What’s my identity?
I choose “one who eats for nutrient density, every day”. Knowing that everything I consume makes me healthier or less healthy.
That identity / messaging is important.
If I “try to eat healthy” I’ve already built in an option to fail.

Eating things that make me more likely to experience autoimmune flares is not what I want for my life.

My top three core values are health, intuition, and authenticity.

Health is number one, because I’ve seen the other side. And without it, I know there isn’t an ability to work on my other values.

So that’s how I choose to identify. And when I do that, it just becomes “what I do”, not what I’m trying to be better at.





Thanks for sharing this insight with regarding this Elizabeth King quote.

The days I choose nutrient-dense breakfast? The days that end in ‘y’.

Bison sliders from have 14g of protein each, and with three per meal I’m right at my protein target (40g x4 times daily = 160g or 1 gram per pound of my body weight. This helps me build muscle, control satiety, and balance blood sugar.

I choose to eat mine without a bun, but instead on lettuce with my favourite condiments.

avocado oil mayo, ketchup and hamburger pickles.
My steamed veggies are from the and are topped with grass fed butter and

Nutrient density!
