Classes are back!!👏

My local butcher shop has a business plan and connection to the community like no other. They source all of their products from WNC and have built strong relationships with their farmers. In fact, they have part ownership in the cattle ranch, where their beef comes from: 🐄. The shop takes pride in the transparency of their sourcing and production.

Do you know where your food comes from? I do!

🐖Whole Hog Butchery Class 🐖
Presented by:
-PJ Jackson, owner/operator
-Rob Jones, retail manager/butcher
-Uriah Standish, general manager

This class shows the breakdown of half of a pasture-raised hog that came from that day. PJ discussed the care of the animal, how the animal gets to the shop, the butchery of the animal, and cuts of meat.

They use every part of the animal for specific cuts, stocks, sausages, salami, and even dog treats. I know my dog loves the skin!

I am very lucky to have a butcher shop that seeks to educate their customers as well as feeding them. I encourage you to research your own area for a quality butcher that is open about where their meat comes from. 🐄🐖🐓🦆🧀🥚🍷

👉Next week is Poultry and Wood Fire Class. Stay tuned!

About last night: I went to the Chow Chow Series - Food is Medicine 5-course dinner... by myself and not knowing a single person. I was terrified and sweaty, but I went because it was an important topic. I also wanted to connect with people in my community that are like-minded about food and nutrition.

I am so glad I did! I ended up talking with the Sales & Education director of Botanist & Barrel, a cider wine company that personally sources all of their ingredients, some of which come from their own farm. All natural ingredients, naturally produced. During our conversation, I mentioned that I was an FNTP. She offered to work together to hold a talk at their facility about nutrition, and share in the ticket sales. Very excited to collaborate with a local vendor!

Then I selected my seat at a table with three people together and another solo attendant. We had such compelling conversations about food, it's impact both emotionally and environmentally. It was quite amazing how well we all connected and got deep our discussions went. The speakers at the event helped spark some of what we talked about as they shared their own stories about food and traditions. By the end of the evening we were all hugging and sharing numbers to continue our connection. Shout out to Robyn who also went out by herself to show her kids independence and its ok to step out of your comfort zone. We're friends now!

I am grateful for the magical experience, the delicious food, and the sharing of stories. The moral is: don't let fear paralyze you into inaction. It's OK to be uncomfortable, that is growing.

Earlier this week I talked about the increase in gallbladder removal. Today I wanted to share why the gallbladder is an essential organ. In the above diagram, the gallbladder is the small green organ nestled in the liver and connected to the digestive tract. So, what does the gallbladder do and why is it important?

▪️Stores bile that is produced by the liver
▪️Is triggered by a hormone (CCK) to contract and release bile
▪️The bile breaks down fats from food
▪️Stomach acid is critical for proper digestion, to trigger the hormones to release
🔹️Lack of protein and fat in the diet can cause bile stasis - no trigger
🔹️This can lead to sluggish bile that builds up in the gallbladder and liver
🔹️Gallbladder removal creates dysfunction in fat digestion
🔹️Fatty Acids are essential in every cell of the body. Deficiency has many implications, like mental disorders, immune issues, and hormone imbalance to name a few.

Therefore, no gallbladder means digestive dysfunction throughout the system. Proper digestion begins in the brain, so eating in a restful state is the first step to gaining control of how you feel. If you would like to learn more, check out my website or book discovery call. Let's work together!

👋 Hi there! I am finally back from my extended hiatus from social media. Let me reintroduce myself:

My name is Patti. I am a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and an Associate Instructor for NutritionalTherapyAssociation]

What that means is: I help people discover the root cause of their health related symptoms and we work together to resolve those issues through nutrition and lifestyle changes. I am not a doctor, nor do I diagnose or prescribe anything. I support systems and make recommendations.

I also teach the techniques and knowledge I use with my clients to future NTPs. It is one of the most rewarding things I have done. The training I received from the NutritionalTherapyAssociation] has truly changed my life. We are helping to make the world a healthier and happier place through community and collaboration.

I will be sharing much more in the coming weeks. I hope you join me on my journey. This is a safe space, so don't be afraid to ask questions and share your thoughts. All I ask is you be kind and considerate. In Health! 🥗
