Missing these slow days with my girl 🌴

One of our happy places is definitely in the heat, floating in the sea 🌊. The pace of life whilst living in Cyprus for a week definitely gave us a nervous system reset 🙏☺️.
Where are your happy places?

Benefits of Bone Broth

My rediscovery of bone broth has had super excited to share with anyone I speak to. I say rediscovery, as I was brought up on the stuff!! My earliest memories were my Mothers kitchen , a huge pot with suspicious items poking out the top. Chicken feet, pigs trotters …. And like my Mother said , all the meat was organic back then, wasn’t labelled, it came to the butchers from the local farmers.

So to inspire you to add this food to your diet I’m going to highlight some of the reasons we all need to add it to our shopping list.. and maybe time to get that pot on the stove brewing. Watch this space, I have my Mother coming round this weekend to set me up on how to make my own… watch my stories for the next instalment ! Content warning .. my Mother is from the North. I’ll add subtitles

🦴 Helps heal and seal your gut: The gelatin found in bone broth is a hydrophilic colloid. It attracts and holds liquids, including digestive juices, thereby supports digestion

🦴 Fights inflammation: Amino acids such as glycine, proline, and arginine all have anti-inflammatory effects. Arginine, for example, has been found to be particularly beneficial for the treatment of sepsis (whole-body inflammation).

🦴 Promotes strong, healthy bones: Bone broth contains high amounts of calcium, magnesium, and other nutrients that play an important role in healthy bone formation.

🦴 Reduces joint pain and inflammation, chondroitin sulphates, glucosamine, and other compounds extracted from the boiled down cartilage is far superior and a more natural way to supplement.

🦴 Promotes healthy hair and nail growth, thanks to the gelatine in the broth.

🦴 Inhibits infection caused by cold and flu viruses

🦴 Sounder sleep: Glycine in bone broth has calming effects, which may help you sleep better.

At the moment my favourite bone broth is Borough Bone Broth and Freja Bone broths . Both are so tasty you can heat and drink straight form the mug. Ideal if you are breaking a fast. The game changer came when I had a lovely client tell me to pop a k**b of unpasteurised butter in there too… delicious. But I am about to up my game. The local Butchers in Tring sell bones.. Mother has my shopping list.

Here for your stories and recipes. I love to hear from you, what you like what works for you when making soups stews broths and yumminess.

When the Vegetarian turns Carnivore 🦁

I’ve spent 35 years eating as a vegetarian. Plant based, sometimes vegan diet. On top of that avoiding foods containing fat as I was a product of the 80’s marketing where fat was the devil, and looking for products that said fat free.

However 18 months ago I decided after all those 35 years knowing that as a human being I am designed to eat meat, but somehow had the discipline and the stubbornness to continue with my non meat eating ways, I found I was hitting my 50’s and wondered if I should start to replenish myself as I wasn’t as lively as I was once.

My increased work load, my love for the gym and training with the amazing Katie, Selina and Marisa gave me the support to make it ok to start my journey back to Carnivore ! Yes I had to reinvent myself, but hey, who needs to be the same old same old.

So I’m going to start telling my story in hope that I can support anyone who wishes to reach out to me to ask who I lent on for support and be that support in return.

Animal Fats

Eating the fats my parents fed me has been the game changer for my moods and reducing my anxiety levels down to zero. Don’t get me wrong, I get concerned and have oodles of empathy, but I don’t let it get me in a spiral, but I often turn on my how to turn a problem into a solution part of my brain on , as it had been dormant for a while.

When I looked into why this could be, it all makes sense.

The key nutrients we get exclusively from animal fats are arachidonic acid and the fat-soluble vitamins A, D and K2.

Arachidonic acid serves as a precursor for endogenous cannabinoids (the calming, feel-good neurotransmitters). There is only one source for the body to get adequate arachidonic acid and that is from fatty animal foods like butter, lard, egg yolks, liver and meat fats.

Animal fats also they supply 18-carbon saturated fatty acids, which support hormone production and cell-membrane integrity. The body needs these saturated fats and needs a lot of them. If we don’t eat animal fats, the body has a back-up plan on how to make these fatty acids , and that’s from refined carbs.

SOOOO, if you are on the roller coaster of cravings for refined carbs (and also if you are struggling with alcohol dependancy), eat plenty of animal fats. Eat meat with fat, not just lean chicken breast, load up on eggs, ( like ed does) enjoy full-fat cheese, eat bacon for breakfast and put butter on everything!

It’s a game changer and I feel like I’m back in the game.

Have a peek at Selina and Marisa YouTube for inspiration that got me out of a how to I cook meat fix a time or too.
