I have an Ionic foot bath now that can help release toxins, and an AO machine to tell you so much about the inner workings of your body.

Hello Friends,

Here we are in the food holidays. It starts with candy on Halloween. Then we move to the Traditional Thanksgiving gorging. The Christmas which I think of as the Showstopper. I practiced Thanksgiving year after year asking myself why I do what I do. I am certain we do what we do on Thanksgiving because the food industry wants us to. This week the grocery store will have its best numbers of the year.

I will go to the local farm and pick up the harvest bag for the week. It is fun to make spectacular keto dishes of whatever is in the harvest bag. My family members will make some dishes that I will not eat. Compromise has been attained on some of the desserts swapping allulose and monk fruit for the sugar in the recipes. Maybe a teaspoon of molasses for that brown sugar taste.

The days of homemade noodles and bread are long gone. Pies are different now. Why do I say no to sugar? Because the brain likes fat. It is made of fat. It does not like sugar. So why feed my brain sugar for the sake of Tradition?

Does anyone care what you put on your plate? Everyone will be so busy with their plate they are not going to focus on your plate. Meanwhile, while they are experiencing a food coma, I will be out taking a walk.

This is my pie this year: https://mylifecookbook.com/no-bake-pumpkin-cheesecake-low-carb/
We eat pie in the morning with our coffee. Most of you know my husband is German. We do some things the German way. My German husband does not eat desserts after dinner.

Invest in a Keto Mojo and start tracking your Glucose and Ketones. Are you feeding your body too much sugar? A continuous glucose monitor is an eye-opening exploration. If you are a Type 2 Diabetic, please check out Levels and consider calling me for a health coaching session. You still have time to get back into metabolic flexibility.

Enjoy Thanksgiving Day. I am grateful you are in my life and allow me to share what I know.

This keto no bake pumpkin cheesecake is very easy and takes 15 minutes. A sugar free and gluten free pumpkin dessert with no baking!

Today I want to speak about toxins. Why because healing Alzheimer’s Disease is like peeling an onion. In my case, I got better instantly when I started the program. But lately, I have been slipping a little in my cognitive results on my CQ score. Back to the drawing board. Now it is time to tackle mold toxicity.



I read this wonderful book called Break the Mold by Dr. Jill Crista. It is really helpful. I did a mold test on my house with $3 plates from Immnolytics.com. And low and behold my house came back mold. My doctor did a genetic study, and I have the mold gene. What does that mean? I My immune system does not see mycotoxin.



I could not be more pleased that I have a good functional medicine doctor. Now I am headed into a round of mold detoxification. I will keep you all posted. In the meantime, I learned about Ozone Machines. I bought one. Now I am treating all the rooms in my house with H03, using an Ozone Machine. Living beings including mold breathe HO2. Ozone kills everything that breathes. Including mold. I am also defusing Thieves oil by Young Living in all the rooms with water in my house to kill remaining mold spores. I got the garbage disposal replaced. We are replacing our refrigerator and our dishwasher. We have closed off all our heating vents in case mold comes from under the house. (We haven’t used central heating for years.) I am planning to retest my house soon.



Once you breathe mold spores they can populate in your body as mycotoxin. Mold toxins then create other populations to survive. I have 5 different strains of mycotoxin. This is creating inflammation in the nerves in my legs. I don’t know if you have seen me walk in the last year, but my gate is apparent I have mycotoxin illness.



I am confident we will be able to wipe out the mycotoxins.



This is what Functional Medicine does. Quite a large percentage of people with Alzheimer’s Disease have some form of toxic exposure. I have lived in many moldy houses. Most people who rent live in an environment where there is or has had a water damage issue that was not handled properly. When patients get better and start slipping, the first thing Function Medicine looks at is Mold, Metals or Lyme Disease. Do you have metal fillings?



I love that I have become more mold-savvy. I am building a mold survival kit that will live with me for the rest of my natural life and can imagine detoxing every six months or so.



What am I celebrating? My new heated house slippers. I am going to have warm feet all winter long! And Butcher Box is giving away a free-range Turkey with a subscription to their free-range meat box in November. Butcherbox.com. I highly recommend eating less meat, and when you do eat meat eat free-range grass-fed and grass-finished meat. Eat wild-caught fish and look at the mercury content on your fish. We get mercury toxicity from metal filling and high mercury fish.

We are in the Season of Eating. Remember we are what we eat. Since becoming Keto I really look forward to my meals and gatherings with others. People are amazed at what meals without sugar can taste like. Enjoy the people you love and feed them good food!

Teach your kids how to cook by designating one night a week family dinner night. When I was a kid my dad set up an account at the local store and I could plan and cook dinner. The butcher showed me around the store and taught me how to cook meat. He showed me what vegetables would complement the meat. My family was amazed at what I could cook. Then made my allowance of $5 a week to validate my efforts. I started stopping by the library and reading cookbooks. Now I eat a keto food style and my veggies are the highlight of every meal. By the time I was 20 in years old, people were asking me to cater their parties. I have turned out to be quite a keto baker. I love teaching my clients how to cook food they really enjoy. It all starts with love and stays grounded in love. Love your kids and play with them in the kitchen.

Embrace Life

Years ago, I went to my doctor and told her I was having brain fog and my mother died of Dementia. She said her mother died of Dementia too. Then she asked me what my end-of-life plan is. I told her I would kill myself before I would put my kids through what I went through with my mom. Fast forward, Thanks to everything I have learned at Functional Health through Apollo Health, my brain works again. I am no longer dying. I am living.

I embraced some changes including eating 9 cups of veggies a day. How do we do that? Start your day with veggies.

• Drink dark green veggies in smoothies. Add avocado for healthy fat.

• Sauté veggies for breakfast like mushrooms, onions, celery, bell peppers, green leafy vegetables, arugula, kohlrabi, red cabbage. Be creative add a little brags aminos and apple cider vinegar, add spices like chili flakes, garlic, ginger, or salt and pepper.

• Make a big salad every night with color. Eat a salad as big as a dinner plate. Start with 2 cups and build up to 4 or 5.

In retrospect, I sure wish she had known about Apollohealthco.com. After reading the book The Survivors of Alzheimer’s Disease by Dale Bredesen, I gained hope that I could be a survivor too. Now I eat for brain health. I am embracing life. This is what I am now teaching and coaching others to do too. Please know there is help there for you. Dementia which is the 10th largest killer in the United States can be reversed if you start early enough and are willing to make the changes necessary to obtain optimal health.
