The Life-Changing Loaf of Bread

This bread recipe, originally created by Sarah Britton with My New Roots , went viral for a reason! This recipe contains tons of nutritious benefits, while still being absolutely delicious! And it is GLUTEN FREE!

Fellow Naturopathic Doctor, Erika Siegle, noted in her new recipe book that "The psyllium flax and chia seeds [in this recipe] work to clean out the nooks and crannies in your GI tract as well as clearing cholesterol, toxins, excess estrogen, and reducing belly stagnation (gas, bloating, and constipation). Unlike most breads, this one is high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats, promoting healthy blood sugar and providing lasting energy."

Sleep depends on your brain getting into the parasympathetic nervous system state, which is responsible with resting, digesting and healing. If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, keep your eyes closed, work on deep relaxing breaths, and practice thankfulness. If you occupy your mind with things that you love and appreciate, it will allow you to get into the parasympathetic nervous system easier and improve your sleep. 🌿🍃🌙

Cholesterol is the building blocks for many of our hormones, it is important for brain health. Often times patients get put on statin drugs to lower their cholesterol without paying attention to the symptoms of low cholesterol or side effects of the statin drugs themselves. Statins can cause depletion of CoQ10, a nutrient necessary for cellular energy production. This can lead to fatigue, muscle weakness and brain fog. Statins can also actively damage muscle and brain tissue in some people. This can be monitored by a lab test called creatine kinase which indicates tissue damage is occurring. Many times, patients write off the cognitive decline as age related when it is their medication playing a role. Too high of cholesterol, especially if you do not have a high enough good HDL cholesterol, can damage arteries, but too low may be just as damaging to your health and quality of life.
