Getting ready to start 2025 off right!

I’m starting my training for a half marathon 4.5 short months away and one thing I’ll be focusing on is nutrition. I found this article interesting - whether 30 different fruits/vegetables/herbs a week is my magical number or not, it’s at least a good target! I’ll also be kicking off my yearly detox soon which ALWAYS makes me feel better and helps take off a few pounds. The detox kit has protein powder and supplements included PLUS meal suggestions/recipes that I love and continue using throughout the year. **This 7 day kit is currently selling online and on Amazon for $120-200 but can be ordered and purchased at my office for the discounted rate of $105 through January 31, 2025. Flavors are chocolate or French vanilla. Let me know if you want to join me!

Yes, spices count.

Sluggish digestive system? Here’s an easy overnight crock pot recipe you can make to help with improved energy, faster metabolism and more significant weight loss.

Eat this for breakfast to lose weight and boost digestive health 🥣

Nourishing, easy-to-digest foods take the stress off your digestive system so it can work more efficiently. The result? Better nutrient absorption, faster metabolism, improved energy, and more significant weight loss.

Start your day off right with a gentle, Qi-boosting bowl of congee for weight loss!

In this recipe, we’re adding Chaga, a medicinal mushroom that supports digestion, to a classic congee. Together, they boost your energy, promote a stronger metabolism, and reduce dampness.

___

WEIGHT LOSS BREAKFAST CONGEE
Makes 6-7 servings

1 cup rice
2 apples, diced
4-5 slices of raw ginger
2 tsp cinnamon
¼ cup Real Mushrooms Chaga Powder
2 tbs ground flaxseeds (optional)
10 cups water
A pinch of salt

Add all ingredients to a slow cooker and cook overnight on low for a healthy breakfast by morning!

Along with eating healthy foods and exercising, supporting your digestive system is part of a healthy weight loss plan.

Want some ideas to help with inflammation? This article identifies foods that contribute to inflammation and those that can protect against it. I would personally add that if you’re trying to decrease inflammation and lose some pounds you might consider a non dairy, no starchy carbs (pasta, bread, rice) and no added sugar type of diet for 7-21 days and see how much better you feel. You may be surprised at how much energy you have! I would also suggest adding organic bone broth to your daily intake (8 oz or more), just keep an eye on the sodium content. Bone broth is great for assisting in healing gut issues and improving joint fluidity. Reach out if you have any questions!

Eat these anti-inflammatory diet foods daily to fight inflammation. These ingredients reduce the risk of diseases caused by chronic inflammation.

(Long post warning 😁)
It’s been a crazy start to 2022! Just hit 24 years in practice and maybe I’ll try to squeeze out 24 more? 😂! So - WHAT have you been doing for your health lately? Those of you that have come in over the past year know I do kickboxing and resistance training - love it! This week though, I decided it was time for my YEARLY 7 day liver detox. I’ve used the same Orthomolecular Core Restore kit numerous times and never been disappointed. It’s gentle on your GI system and has a pretty well mapped out plan including recipes that my whole family enjoys eating - not just while detoxing. Why detox you ask? For starters - environmental pollutants, cleaning chemicals, food storage containers and packaging - all the things that bombard your liver besides the actual food we eat which may not always be the healthiest of choices (ahem - can you say Christmas and Valentine’s candy? Oh - just me? 😆). These are the things we need to cleanse from our system to allow it to work more effectively. I will tell you the first 2 days are harder since you only get 2 protein shakes to drink for the entire day plus as much water, herbal tea as you like. If you’ve done a fast before - this is pretty much that for Day 1 and 2. On Days 3-7 you fill up on healthy and lean proteins, veggies, healthy fats (avocado, almond butter, etc) and carbs. This is only 7 days - and I can tell you that I already feel great - lighter in my step, and as a bonus have dropped 8 lbs! What I love about this kit/program the most is that it IS a sustainable program you could continue to follow for as long as you want. If you’d like to see sample recipes and menus from this kit I’m happy to share. The protein shake powder is available in chocolate or vanilla and comes with 2 supplements and a mini portable drink mixer. Hit me up with any questions you have! LImited time pricing for this kit is just $89
