Caffeine Reduces Dementia Risk

WISCONSIN—A recent study conducted at the University of Wisconsin and published in the Journal of Gerontology found that caffeine could help lower the risk of dementia.

The study included 6,487 participants who were followed for a period of 10 years, they were told to complete diet and lifestyle questionnaires yearly. The researchers focused on their caffeine consumption and cognitive function.

The team found that higher caffeine intake was associated with a lower risk of cognitive impairment. Specifically, those who consumed above the median amount of caffeine, which is about two to three cups of coffee, or five to six cups of black tea, exhibited a 36 percent reduction in the risk of dementia over the 10-year period as compared to the group that consumed less caffeine.

According to Mayoclinic.com, caffeine should be consumed in moderation. It is recommended to consume no more than 4 cups of coffee or 7 cups of black tea each day.

If you are interested in reducing your risk of dementia, you might want to consider adding caffeine to your daily diet.

Have a healthy day,

Sweet Ginger Soy Broccoli

Love the garlic broccoli at your local Chinese take-out? Try this as a MSG-free version, that still contains yummy Asian flavors minus the gluten too. If you’ve purchased a whole head of broccoli, you can also eat the stalk. Just peel it with a potato peeler, finely dice and mix it in with whole florets.

Ingredients:
  1. ¼ cup water or broth
  2. 4 ounces broccoli florets (about 2 cups)
  3. 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
  4. 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  5. 1 teaspoon tamari
  6. 1 teaspoon stevia
  7. ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
  1. Place the water or broth in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Add the broccoli and simmer 2 to 3 minutes, until the broccoli starts to soften the most of the liquid has evaporated
  3. Add the ginger, garlic, tamari, stevia and pepper
  4. Turn the heat to low and continue to cook 1 to 2 minutes until the broccoli is fork tender
  5. Serve immediately

Enjoy!​

There is a direct connection between Type 2 Diabetes and cancer that most people are aware of. But what about insulin resistance? What exactly is this condition and can having it affect your changes for Breast Cancer?
What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is also known as pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome. The basic definition of this condition is when the body can still respond to the insulin that is made in the body but it is not responding with 100% accuracy. For most people, the result is consistently high blood sugar levels as well as circulating insulin levels in the blood.
image
The most common symptoms of insulin resistance are:
-constant thirst
-increased urgency to urinate (and to urinate more often)
-tingling or numbness in the limbs, also known as neuropathy
-blurred eyesight
-fatigue
-constant hunger (even after eating)
-frequent infections
image
Here are three things you can do RIGHT NOW to turn insulin resistance around:
#1 Eat an organic, low-sugar, whole foods diet.
A healing diet for someone with insulin resistance will be filled with lots of organic, non-GMO whole foods such as green vegetables, healthy sources of animal and plant protein, and solid non-GMO sources of Omega 3 fatty acids like nuts, fish, and avocados.
And if you crave a sweet every once in a while, please know that there are some amazing alternatives to sugar out there to sweetening things up a little! On this site, be sure to check out the 7 Essentials System Coconut Delight Bars™. Coconut Delights are delicious and nutritious and contain a hefty amount of fiber for healthy bowel pH, immune system function, GI microbiota, and more!

#3 Use natural supplements to help balance your insulin.

Mouthwash Helps Fight COVID-19
By Dr. Oz and Dr. Roizen, MDs
It's hard to believe that even today some people think washing a kid's mouth out with soap for sassing off is a good idea. The American Academy of Pediatrics considers it a form of child abuse.
But as recently as this year, a Florida teacher was suspended after she declared a talkative student needed to be punished like that, and proceeded to put hand sanitizer (the modern version) into his mouth.
Special: Don't Buy Another Bottle of Olive Oil Before Seeing This
In contrast, using mouthwash to rinse your mouth — voluntarily — can be a healthy step, according to a study in the Journal of Medical Virology. It knocks out the virus that causes COVID-19.
Researchers tested a wide range of mouthwashes, including Crest Pro Health (active ingredient cetylpyridium chloride; safe and effective, but shouldn't be used for more than seven days according to a 1994 FDA report) and Listerine Antiseptic (active ingredients eucalyptol, menthol, methyl salicylate, and thymol). They also looked at hydrogen peroxide–based mouthwashes.
They found that Crest Pro Health killed at least 99.9% of the virus in the mouth; Listerine Antiseptic killed more than 99.99%; and peroxide brands knocked out slightly less.
Overall, the researchers say, "Most of the common over-the-counter mouthwashes/gargles tested demonstrated at least a 90% reduction in infectious virus at one minute of contact time."
And the longer you rinse, the more power they have.
If you want to do all you can to keep COVID-19 at bay, mouthwash is one more effective technique to complement mask wearing and social distancing.

Hey Jimi,
Have you ever asked yourself a simple question…
If eating a nutrient-dense, plant-based diet is truly the most effective diet for long-term health, then why are most people not talking about it?
Are there forces preventing truly life-changing information from reaching the masses?
Are pharmaceutical companies keeping people in the dark about how to eat for optimal long-term health?
Is the government suppressing information about how to stay healthy the rest of your life?
When you watch food documentaries on Netflix, sometimes it feels like there are mysterious forces preventing most people from living in a world with clean, non-GMO food.
And instead, they’re doing their best to make people sicker than ever so that they’ll spend more money “fixing” their health issues.
Regardless of what you think is true, one this is for certain – eating a truly clean plant-based diet puts you a decade ahead of everyone else.
Yes, a decade.
Remember when you could only buy organic food at “alternative” or “hippie” grocery stores?
Remember when the term “organic” was only for the privileged with lots of expendable income?
Now, the world has changed. Drastically.
Taking care of your metabolic health to prevent and avoid chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver disease is more normal than ever before, but eating a plant-based diet is AT LEAST 10 years ahead of the curve.
While we’re doing our best to remain ahead of the curve, at times even we feel like eating a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet is more challenging than it needs to be.
So even though eating for your long-term health is not a mainstream concept, don’t stop making strides in that direction and give in to the norm just because it may feel easier.
Oftentimes in life, going against the norm is the most effective way to ensure your own health – so no matter how challenging it may feel, eat like a champ and your body will reward you for it in ways that you can’t even imagine.
The foods you eat drive your insulin sensitivity and impact how you feel – they affect your energy levels and your overall sense of wellbeing within hours of eating.
This is where the magic of green light foods begins – they dramatically improve your metabolic health and help you get your best A1c with every bite.
The recipe for success when it comes to reversing insulin resistance includes these 3 categories:
  • The green light category contains unrefined whole foods that you can eat as much as you want
  • The yellow light category contains foods that you can include in small quantities because they are either slightly processed or have a higher fat content
  • The red light category contains the foods that we recommend removing from your diet altogether
Regardless of the form of diabetes you may be living with, these foods are your ticket to reversing insulin resistance. Every time.
Just in case you haven’t seen this, we created a cheat sheet with a complete list of all green light foods that you can download today.

Hi Jimi,

We’re not quite halfway through Day 2 of the 48-hour Next Steps for Tough SIBO Masterclass Summit.

Have you had a chance to watch yet?

If you're not sure where to dive in, let me recommend a class:

>>> Using Neural Therapy for Complex Gastrointestinal Cases with Dr. Ilana Gurevich, ND

In this class, you'll learn about "interference fields" in the body, what causes them, and how they interrupt normal functioning... which can lead to SIBO! Dr. Gurevich makes it all easy to understand, and explains how neural therapy can break up interference fields and return normal function. (I've used neural therapy myself with really amazing results!)

No, Neural Therapy is not a "standard" SIBO treatment... but that's exactly why Dr. Siebecker and I created this conference: to share the treatment that you haven't heard of!

This class and 13 more are available to watch now until 11 AM Eastern tomorrow:

  • Understanding & Applying the SIBO Diet with Dr. Allison Siebecker, ND, MSOM, LAc
  • Preventing SIBO Relapse with Prokinetics with Dr. Allison Siebecker, ND, MSOM, LAc
  • Frequency Specific Microcurrent for SIBO with Dr. Carol McMakin, DC

Tips for breathing:​

It may sound silly but did you ever think that something as simple as breathing properly could help improve your health?

Since the moment you were born, you have been breathing. But, has anyone ever stopped to teach you how to do it properly? Yes, there is a proper way to breathe. By default you may already be doing it, but this email is for those of us that may need some improvement.

The Consequences of Poor Breathing

Poor breathing habits can give rise to a lot of unexpected adverse effects like:
  • Less Energy — Bad breathing decreases your body’s ability to deliver oxygen to the cells. The cells get stressed and have to prioritize survival instead of development.
  • Stress — Poor breathing patterns, like short and forced breaths can result body tension and higher stress levels.
  • Higher Blood Pressure — Poor breathing patterns can cause the blood vessels to constrict, which can lead to higher blood pressure and force the heart to work harder.
However, proper breathing can have a real positive impact.

Benefits of Proper Breathing
  • More energy
  • Reduce Stress
  • Lower Blood Pressure
  • Reduced Pain
  • Better Blood Flow
  • Better Sleep
  • Improves Immunity
  • and much more...
5 Ways to Improve Your Breathing:
  1. Use your Nose
    Think of your nose as a little factory that refines and prepares the air coming in to be used by the body.
  2. Breathe Deep With The Diaphragm
    The air you breathe in through your nose should go all the way down in your belly. 70–80% of the inhaling should be done by the diaphragm so that your breathing is nice and deep.
  3. Relax
    By taking control of your breathing and making it more relaxed, your body ”tunes in” and becomes relaxed as well, which leads to better functioning in general.
  4. Breathe in a Rhythm
    The hormones in the body follow our natural rhythm. One example is melatonin that is released when you’re going to sleep.
  5. Breathe Quietly
    Coughing, snoring, sniffling and so on, are suboptimal breaths in disguise. A breathing pattern that contains a lot of them puts a considerable strain on the body.
Try setting a timer to check up on your breathing through out the day.

It's the little things that can make a big difference in how your body reacts and how you feel.
Until next time. Make good choices and stay healthy! ?

Health Tip of the Day

Zinc isn’t the most talked-about nutrient, but it’s one of the most important —necessary for the activity of more than 300 enzymes that aid in metabolism, digestion, immune function, skin health, and more.

And since your body can’t produce or store it, it’s essential that you get enough zinc on a regular basis through food or supplementation.

The problem is… getting enough zinc may be tougher than you thought.

First, there are lower nutrient levels than ever in our food system.

Second, phytates —present in foods like grains, cereals, and legumes —bind zinc and inhibit absorption.

Third, zinc can be tough to absorb without the presence of other nutrients.

Plus, if you have digestive issues, gastrointestinal disease, if you’re a vegetarian, or if you’re pregnant or lactating, you’re at an even greater risk of low zinc levels.

7 Tips for Cutting Sugar Consumption

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

Whether the aim is to simply lose weight or a commitment to a healthier lifestyle to prevent disease, tackling sugar cravings can present a formidable challenge to achieving your overall goals.

There are the well-known culprits, like sodas and desserts, but sugar is hidden in many other foods as well. The following tips can help you develop a game plan for making sure you aren’t unknowingly adding sugar to your diet.

Special: Doctor Discovers Sugar Control Method, Naturally

• Cut out obvious offenders. Banish the sugar bowl, soft drinks, candy, etc., from your house, car, and office. And don’t forget, sugar is sugar. Raw sugar, brown sugar, honey, and molasses also cause inflammation.

• Eliminate processed and packaged foods. Watch out for these ingredients on your food label: lactose, brown rice syrup, molasses, dextrose, cane sugar, corn sweetener, corn sweetener solids, fructose, glucose, maltose, rice syrup, cane juice crystals, evaporated cane juice, raw sugar, organic raw sugar, and maltodextrin.

• Beware of high fructose corn syrup. This common sweetener in sodas and fruit-flavored drinks is manufactured in a way that turns its glucose into fructose, a type of sugar that is actually sweeter.

• Make sure you’re hungry, not thirsty. Sugar cravings can be a sign you’re dehydrated.

• Get enough sleep. Research finds that people who are tired tend to crave junk foods that include added sugar.

• Eat more protein. Consuming protein at all three daily meals can help beat down sugar cravings. Eggs, chicken, fish, and even modest amounts of red meat are all good ways to pump up the protein.

• Banish alcohol. The problem with sugar is that it’s addictive — and so is alcohol. Not only are cocktails packed with sugar, but alcohol can weaken your resolve to lay off other sugar-laden foods.

Hi Jimi,


Many of us remember our parents or grandparents telling us: “eat your vegetables!”

But we don’t realize the veggies of even a generation or two ago— from “back in the day”— were actually much healthier than they are now.

Foods just aren’t what they used to be in terms of nutrient density. Fruits, vegetables, and even animal products (owing to the way they’re unsustainably and inhumanely raised) are lacking, dull, and lifeless compared to what they were decades ago.

What happened?

Here’s a few things that have sapped our food of nutrition over time:

  • Unhealthy nutrient-depleted soils.
The way we farm (in the mainstream) is killing our soils! It doesn’t have the same trace minerals as it used to, so the foods are losing out on them, too.

What’s worse, our soil is no longer alive. Not only are nutrients disappearing, but soil life is, too— which is also a vital building block for nutritious plant-based foods.
  • Unethical methods for raising animals, eggs, and dairy.
We should be avoiding conventional factory farmed animal products in general, as they are truly bad for the planet…

…but for those who consume animal products, did you know: meat, dairy, and eggs fed their natural diets are much higher in antioxidants? It’s quite a big difference.
  • Plant varieties bred for storage (and not flavor or nutrition)
The seeds and breeds of our food crops themselves have been changed to leave our bodies desperate for nutrients! Both GMO and popular hybrids are chosen not just for nutrition these days, but for other traits instead (like how much of a toxic herbicide they can handle, or how long they can sit on grocery store shelves).

Here’s how to make sure your foods are nutrient-rich:
  • Buy organic, regenerative, or another sustainable label (USDA Organic, or look for the new Regenerative Organic Certified logo).
  • Growing your own food. Grow heirloom, organic, and/or non-GMO seed varieties only. Having foods ready to eat almost immediately after harvesting, from your own garden, you are preserving powerful nutrients, phytochemicals and antioxidants that are night and day compared to what you would find in the store, which has been shipped and refrigerated for days.
  • Eat in season! Whether you source local or grow your own, the foods nearby will be at their nutrient peak if they’re grown when they’re supposed to be grown. (E.g. fresh greens in spring, strawberries in summer, etc.)
Just “eating healthy” is a good first step. But make sure you’re also focusing on nutrient-dense foods, as food wouldn’t be medicine without them.



To a healing future,
 
Jimi

Hi Jimi,
I was shocked to learn that over 50 million Americans are affected each year by at least one neurological disorder!
And it’s not only the well-known neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease that are related to the health of our brain and nervous system…
  • Have you tried all the diets, but still find yourself feeling sluggish, depressed, anxious, or unable to focus clearly?
  • Are you dealing with chronic disease – and feel like you’ve been missing a key component of recovery or reversal? That you’ve tried “everything,” but haven’t made as much progress as you’d like?
  • Does someone in your family suffer from dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease, depression, anxiety, insomnia, PTSD, or any other brain-related condition?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, I’d highly recommend you check out the upcoming Brain & Nervous System Masterclass produced by my friend and colleague, Michael Roesslein.
The world-class experts Michael has brought together will be sharing high-level professional presentations with you, all weekend (Dec. 5 and 6).
Think of it like a professional conference you can attend right from the comfort of your home… free.
You will learn cutting-edge research in neuroscience along with the experts' own clinical experience and recommendations to calm, repair, and optimize the function of your brain and nervous system.
Register now and you’ll get to watch Dr. Titus Chiu’s presentation, The Brainstem Always Wins: Neuroscience of Fight & Flight right away!

The simple, powerful reality is when your body has more oxygen, your health improves.
Improving your lung health and oxygenation is vital to facing many challenges - some of which may surprise you...
Weight loss* Oxygenation supports metabolism, which in turn supports weight loss.
Fatigue* Oxygen breaks down glucose, the mechanism to create ATP (cellular energy)
Detox* Oxygen also breaks down lactic acid in the liver, kidneys and muscles
Immunity* Oxygen fuels wound healing, cellular function and even infection resistance
Creativity and cognitive health* Neuroplasticity and learning require more oxygen
Mood* Oxygen in the brain and creates a calming effect, reducing anxiety and stress
Inspiring the Parasympathetic State* Breathing is one of the fastest, most powerful ways to calm anxiety, release stress and stored emotions and even calm pain
image
Oxygen is key to life. And it is key to a good, HEALTH-FILLED life.

IF YOU’RE A CHEESE LOVER LIKE I WAS, YOU’LL KNOW HOW HARD IT IS HAVING TO GIVE UP IT’S DELICIOUS FLAVOUR FOR HEALTH OR MORAL REASONS.
Even though it’s fairly well known that regular cheese is like eating a ticking time bomb when it comes to your health…
  • It’s high in salt which leads to risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes…
  • It’s chock full of artery clogging saturated fat that some doctors call a heart attack waiting to happen…
  • And rammed full of calories meaning it piles on the pounds…
Photo2-2_a70e68f829b34001f17ff48f5b96487b.png

But what you may not know,


Is that every mouthful of cheese you eat,


legally contains a certain amount of pus from cows udders…


It’s gross and if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably never heard about this before...


Let me explain…
You see 99% of dairy cows are kept pregnant for much more of their lives than they would be naturally,


This is so that they can be milked much more than they would be in the wild,


Using large machines to get as much milk out of them as possible.


These machines cause enormous pressure and stress on the cows and their udders.


Meaning up to 1 in 6 cows suffer from something called mastitis.

Which in simple terms is an infection of the udder due to over milking.
Photo3-2_29b3203aee09c06aef93a602321b413a.png

This is such a common occurrence in America that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) legally allows an acceptable limit of “somatic cells”.


Which is a nice way of saying pus.


Yea, the same stuff you squeeze out of a spot.

In all dairy products.
And those gross infected cells go right into the cheese that then ends up on supermarket shelves.


And ultimately people end up eating.


According to the USDA themselves.


There are up to 1 million pus cells in just a tablespoon of the milk that is used to make cheese.


But this is just one part of the dairy industry that they don’t want you to know about…


It gets worse.
THE HEARTBREAKING PLIGHT OF THE MOTHER COW RIPPED FROM HER CHILD OVER AND OVER AGAIN… I.E. WHERE CHEESE COMES FROM...
If you’re a vegetarian or meat eater that thinks eating cheese or milk isn’t that cruel, think again .

Because by many measures the dairy industry is actually much crueler than the meat industry.

A dairy cow is put through so much stress in her lifetime...

That the average lifespan is half of what a natural cow would live to…
Photo4_ebbf5350b6849200f62048454e491ffb.png

It starts when a cow is old enough to be artificially inseminated for the first time.


That’s a nice way of saying impregnated by a human.


(The dairy industry has a lot of these terms that makes horrible things sound normal.)


A dairy farmer uses his fist to prepare the cow for artificial insemination.


Once sufficiently loosened up she’s locked into a steel gurney and a large turkey baster like device is used to impregnate her.
When she eventually gives birth her calf is brutally ripped from her straight away.

Cows make a horrible wailing sound for days after this as they mourn the separation from their baby.

If the calf is male it is either sold off for veal, or it is slaughtered on site and discarded.

If the calf is a female she’ll be kept on the dairy farm in a separate location until old enough to be inseminated herself.

Once she’s given birth, the cow starts getting milked on a daily basis.

She’s pumped full of hormones regularly to ensure she keeps producing milk for much longer than she naturally would.

This increased amount of milking is what leads to the udder infections I mentioned earlier.
Now, even with all the extra hormones eventually the milk dries up and the cow is artificially impregnated again to start the cycle all over.


All this means the average dairy cow lives to about half the age it naturally would.


When i first learned all this i was shocked…


As you may well be…

Today's Motivation​

Dealing with negative emotions is not easy. You may feel extremely overwhelmed when negative emotions rise to the surface. Acknowledge and understand what these emotions are trying to tell you. Let go of self-judgment. Focus on what you can do to improve your circumstances. Don't run away from your negative emotions. Expressing them in a healthy way can help you drive meaningful change in your life.

"Plants Tell You What They're For," Says Evan Cohen

What did people do when they felt anxious 300 years ago?

Were they too uncivilized to recognize it? Did we consider it simply part of the muddy cocktail of the human condition? Had local village alchemists discovered SSRIs but we simply term them differently today?

Most people are probably aware that homeopathic knowledge – ancestral, indigenous, generational, or any other variety – is often overlooked in medical science.

In fact, because the traditions tend to be passed down orally, or in languages other than common lingua francas, some consider this knowledge to be “forgotten.”

Especially as monoculture threatens to permanently alter ecosystems, and those in power are ignorant as to the uses of the plants they’re harming, it’s essential to encourage those who can to keep the knowledge alive.

That’s what drives Evan Cohen, an herbalist who just happens to live in one of the most biodiverse regions of the country – Madison County, North Carolina. She even studied there at the nationally heralded Terra Sylva Herb School.

Right inside the Blue Ridge Mountains lurks land that’s been untouched by industrial hands – mostly, anyway. It’s hard to say exactly what it looked like 500 years ago, but as of right now, it’s an amazing place to study botanicals, herbology, and anything else that involves using the natural world to care for the inner human world.

In fact, my Grandmaster used to say “within 15 feet of where you’re standing, there’s a remedy to whatever you’re suffering from.”

I’d say that’s certainly true in Madison County.
​
Last week, I got to chat with Evan, who does so much with nature it’s hard to fully quantify it.

She’s an herbalist, and sometimes a wildcrafter – which means she grows and harvests plants to use for medicinal purposes, sometimes plucking them right where they’re found in nature, and enhances their useability for the average layperson – and she’s in the perfect place to do it.

However, herbalism isn’t where her connection with improving the conditions of nature and man ends.​

The Many Functions of Evan

Some of her favorite parts about the work that she does include making flower essences, botanicals, tinctures, and – not as different as you’d think – being a doula.

Evan’s focus is always on how best to nurture.

Sometimes she does that by educating her clients and followers about how to use yarrow, the origins of distilling flower essences, and sometimes by shepherding people through the arduous emotional task of being pregnant, whether or not they choose to become a parent.

Throughout the podcast, Evan discusses some of the more surprising parts about the life she’s decided to live…

When she first began her herbalism journey many years ago, one of the principles that helped guide her was that plants often look like what they’re designed to do (the doctrine of energetic signatures)...

It seems obvious once you know it. Societies without alphabets and common languages and written history had to figure out what kinds of plants protect and what kinds hurt, right?​
​

While Evan can trust in the botanical world that things are what they seem…

She can’t say the same about being a doula.

Pregnant People Look Like Everyone

People who choose to get abortions often don’t look anything like the people society thinks choose to get abortions…
​
And people who choose to create families look every way you could possibly imagine.

The best part, for her, of being a doula is getting to support families on their journey to becoming whatever kind of family they want to be, whatever that looks like.

For Evan’s part, she loves to be a non-judgmental participant, to observe things not as she wants them to be, but as they are. It’s an important and hard-won lesson for all people to learn, really.

Just as our ancestors noticed that repeatedly using one plant’s essence tended to elicit similar physical and spiritual responses, the order of the world around is already decided. Our only role is to encourage it in its path, and seek its uses without causing harm.

That’s the central tenet of her doula work (she gets deeper into it during the podcast).

Check out our conversation. You’ll hear us talking about:

  • The flower essence everyone’s been asking for since the pandemic hit.
  • How learning about plant purposes is like learning a different language.
  • The specific alcohol she uses to lock in the energy of an essence.
  • How she decides the method of adaptogen ingestion.
  • The myriad ways a doula can support a pregnant person.
  • How to connect modern safety and personal empowerment during pregnancy.
  • And so much more.

Check it out here, guys!

When you're trying to eat healthier during the holidays, there can be obstacles with typical holiday food and drinks.

But, you may also experience the eye-rolls from friends or family when you forgo the "party menu" - mac and cheese, cheesy potatoes, sugar cookies, alcoholic beverages, soft drinks and all the other sugar-, wheat-, or dairy-laden treats.

In light of holiday parties starting (including one with my family this weekend), here are three great tips for eating health(ier) during the holidays AND also mitigating the the dreaded "backlash"...

1) BRING some of your own food... and have enough for others. That doesn't mean you have to supply food for the entire group. But, have more than for just yourself. It allows others to try it, especially those who are interested in what you're doing for your health. For example, bake and take a few packages of organic chicken drumsticks, instead of just enough for yourself.

2) Tactfully EXPLAIN why you're avoiding certain foods. If you had an allergy (like a peanut allergy for example), your family would understand why you don't want to eat peanuts. Having an intolerance or insensitivity to inflammatory foods like dairy, wheat, or sugar is no different.

Simply explain that you've found when you eat certain foods, they don't agree with you. You can tell them as much or as little about the symptoms they cause to help them understand.

3) REMOVE. This applies to both you and the food. In my family, the kitchen tends to be a gathering place... and that's where the food is! Don't rely on willpower to control. Simply remove yourself from the unhealthy food environment. Similarly, remove the food from the dish, pan, or serving bowl. Place it in your own bowl or on its own plate, and remove yourself and your meal/snack from the kitchen.

The holidays are STILL a time to [HASH=1832]#BeYourOwnGuarantee[/HASH], and now it just got easier.

"It’s not just about navigating perimenopause and your 40s, it’s about living your best life all of the time and feeling great in your body and doing the things that you love!"​

We all have been told the “horrors” of menopause, but few people are really talking about the biggest time of transition in a woman’s life: perimenopause.
This 4-10+ year period before your menstrual cycle totally stops can be a time of fluctuating hormones, uncomfortable symptoms (including hot flashes, stubborn weight, exhaustion, sleep struggles, and more), and feelings that your life as you know it is over.
But it doesn’t have to be this way!
Tune in to today’s episode to hear why perimenopause is a period of so much change and how you can make this transition with ease and grace to continue living with energy and health for years to come!
