⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Okay, hear me out on this one..⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I spent the last 5+ years drinking every kind of nut milk available and strictly avoiding cow milk AT ALL COSTS. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yet, recently, something clicked for me: why should I be eating a man-made product instead of God-given food??? 🤔 I don’t know where you’re at spiritually, but I firmly believe that God has purposely given us food to nourish us!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The purpose of this post isn’t necessarily to convince you to ditch the almond milk. But, I do want to encourage you to think about what YOU believe about the foods you eat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nutritionally, here are some facts to mull over:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥜 Nuts milks (almond, cashew, etc) are highly processed (since you can’t naturally milk an almond), filled with gums and fillers, and high in PUFA’s. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐮 Cow’s milk is naturally abundant in fat soluble vitamins, amino acids, and micronutrients to fuel and support a healthy body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
HOWEVER, most conventional dairy products found at the grocery store are pasteurized, homogenized, and come from grain-fed cows. This type of dairy typically elicits the common dairy intolerance symptoms we see, like digestive, skin, or other issues!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what’s the best option? Here’s what I personally look look for and recommend to my clients: raw, grass-fed, organic milk. If raw isn’t possible, opt for non-homogenized, grass-fed milk (I like @kalonanaturals)!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
AND WHATEVER YOU DO, NEVER DRINK MILK THAT IT FORTIFIED WITH SYNTHETIC VITAMINS AND MINERALS 🙅🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, know I’ve gotta ask: what do you believe about milk? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Beet Cacao Pancakes, anyone?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the weekend, I posted this photo to my stories and shared that 2 years ago, I would’ve never eaten this for breakfast.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maple syrup? No way. Milk? Are you kidding?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, what’s changed?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve developed a new understanding and appreciation for real, whole foods that nourish me. What do I mean by “foods that nourish me?” Ya know, the foods that provide an abundance of the real vitamins and minerals that my body NEEDS to thrive and be healthy!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I firmly believe that God has provided us with the foods we need for nourishment (meat, milk, fruits, veggies, grains), but we (as a society) have moved so quickly and sharply away from this way of eating, that it just feels too foreign! Instead, we eat loads of almonds, nut milk, non-dairy “cheese,” and fake meat. Tell me, does it ACTUALLY make sense to drink “milk” from an almond?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I could go on and on about the foods that truly nourish us (and those that don’t), but I’ll save the rest for another day. In the meantime, here’s a delicious, nutrient-dense, liver-supporting, and satiating recipe for my Beet Cacao Pancakes:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• 1 tbs coconut flour⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• 3 tbs cassava flour⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• 2 scoops @greatlakes collagen⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• 1/2 tsp beet powder⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Sprinkle of Ceylon cinnamon⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• 1 egg ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Splash of whole milk⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• Handful of cacao chunks⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Maple syrup to taste⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Berries of choice⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*Combine all ingredients. Pour pancakes into skillet with melted butter. Flip. Serve!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Okay, if you’ve made it to part 3 with me, you’re probably ready to get to the good stuff: HOW to actually stay hydrated! 💦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you know by now, it’s not just as simple as drinking MORE water. But, there are a few simple habits and hacks that can almost immediately improve your hydration levels and will do wonders if continued consistently:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Sprinkle sea salt into your drinking water⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Add a high quality magnesium solution to your drinking water *highly recommended since most of us are deficient in magnesium* (@livepristine is my favorite- link in bio for a discount 😉)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Start the day by drinking 10-20 oz of water before eating breakfast or drinking coffee⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Do not OVER drink water- Stick to the rule of thumb: 1/2 your bodyweight in ounces of water daily + 8 ounces for every cup of coffee, tea, or alcohol OR 1 hour of activity⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Consider drinking the adrenal cocktail daily which is packed with electrolytes (like sodium and potassium) *recipe on website (link in bio)*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Note: I always recommend drinking filtered water (reverse osmosis is best). BUT, this filtering process strips the water of so many essential minerals, so always follow the first 2 tips to replenish your drinking water. Also, avoid tap water and purified water at all cost.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you catch yesterday’s post about the symptom

Did you catch yesterday’s post about the symptoms of chronic dehydration?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
*If not, scroll yourself back to my last post 🙃*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you think you might be chronically dehydrated (as many of us are), there are 2 main causes to consider:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Not drinking enough water! You might’ve guessed this one, but it’s still worth mentioning. Ideally, most of us should be consuming 1/2 our bodyweight in ounces of water daily. Ie. a 150 lb person should drink at least 75 oz of water. However, if you’re working out, sweating, or consuming diuretics (coffee, tea, alcohol), you’ll need more. Over all, *most* of us are NOT consuming enough water to begin with!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Not absorbing the water you drink! This one might come as a bit of a surprise. Even if you’re drinking enough water, your body might not b able to utilize it well. And I see this situation all the time! Electrolyte and mineral balance is ESSENTIAL for water absorption, so if you’re lacking adequate minerals levels in your body (likely due to stripped drinking water), you’re body can’t absorb what you drink. Signs of poor water absorption are going to the bathroom frequently or experiencing cramps and headaches even if you’re drinking enough water.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The good news is, both of these dehydration culprits can be addressed with a few simple hacks. But, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow to learn exactly HOW to combat chronic dehydration 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As mentioned yesterday on my stories, B and I had the stomach bug over the weekend. And there’s nothing like a stomach bug to make you appreciate a full belly and hydrated body! Am I right?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So this week, I was inspired to share a 3 part series on HYDRATION (and you just might be surprised by what you read) 💦 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First off: how do we know if we’re chronically dehydrated? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dehydration is likely THE most common cause of fatigue 😳 It’s no wonder so many are also chronically fatigued! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, does this mean we simply need to drink more water to combat daily fatigue? Maybe. Maybe not. *More on that tomorrow*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In addition to daily fatigue, these are the most common signs of chronic dehydration:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☑️ Frequent headaches⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☑️ Constipation⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☑️ Food cravings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☑️ Joint pain⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☑️ Weakness⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Can you check more than 1 box? If so, it’s time to focus on re-hydrating your body! After all, water is responsible for so many daily functions in the body, like: lubricating your joints, regulating bowel movements, transporting nutrients, and more.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tomorrow, I’ll be sharing WHY your likely dehydrated + HOW to stay hydrated. The answers might surprise you! Hint: drinking more water isn’t always the solution!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay tuned 😚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you heard the hype about raw carrots (or Ray

Have you heard the hype about raw carrots (or Ray Peat’s raw carrot salad)? *Hint: it’s a GAME-CHANGER for liver health & digestion!*⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If not, let me clue you in 🕵🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Raw carrots are known for multiple health benefits, especially related to detoxification and digestion. Eating raw carrots or carrot salad daily can help with:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• excreting excess estrogen from the body (estrogen dominance, anyone?!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• supporting healthy vitamin A levels (necessary for thyroid, liver, and skin health)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• improving digestion and regulating BM’s⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s just say, carrots are the real MVP. To reap the benefits, snack on raw, WHOLE carrots (not baby carrots, which are usually processed and soaked in chemicals). Or, you can try Ray Peat’s raw carrot salad with shredded raw carrot, coconut oil, and AVC. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bottom line: eat your carrots and experience better skin, sleep, digestion, and more! 🥕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

M A G N E S I U M ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Magnesium is known as a MASTER mineral. But, did you know most of us are deficient in it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a major red flag 🚩 because magnesium is responsible for SO many daily functions in the body, like gut motility, energy production, insulin sensitivity, stress adaption, and much much more. Without enough of it, we’re left feeling less than optimal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For example, magnesium deficiency can look like:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Constipation⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Insomnia⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Anxiety⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Sugar cravings⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Fatigue⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• & more⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sooo, now what?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are many different kinds of Mg that serve various purposes within the body, making it extremely confusing. However, there is only one type of magnesium that should naturally be found in our foods.... but, isn’t: Mg bicarbonate. Shoutout to our nutrient-depleted soil 👋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Magnesium bicarbonate is the most bio-available form of Mg. In other words, it’s easiest for our body to absorb and use it. For this reason, I stick to Mg bicarbonate- specifically, @pristinehydro !⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fundamentally, Mg deficiency (and other mineral imbalances) are a deep issue, today. Eating more Mg-rich foods (dark chocolate, well cooked leafy greens, grass-fed beef, etc) and supplementing with Mg is a good place to start! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I don’t share about much about my recipes anymore, but Cinco de Mayo seemed like a good excuse to break out an oldie-but-goodie 🍹

These Berry Margaritas are refreshing, tasty, and packed with antioxidants. Basically, it’s as healthy as a margarita will get 😉

Crew loooooooves ice cream just as much as mom & dad 🍦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently attempted making my own homemade ice cream (after weeks of hyping myself up), and womp, womp, it didn't quite meet my expectations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The main reasons I wanted to make my own ice cream = 1) to save money because we love our ice cream and 2) to gain some control over the ingredients used. *Did you know: making your own ice cream with raw or grass-fed/organic milk and cream, pastured egg yolks, and organic raw sugar/honey = vitamin and mineral rich ice cream?!* Sign me up 👋🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Soooo, my question for you is.. Have you ever made homemade ice cream before? If so, what are your fail-proof tips for creamy, delicious homemade ice cream?! Drop your tips in the comments below 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
