What IEat#9

Dinner- I love making breakfast for dinner when I don't feel like cooking or have to make dinner fast.
Scrambled eggs with spinach, kidney bean, bacon, and GF toast with cashew butter, honey and cinnamon.

Dinner- steamed broccoli, Alexia's sweet potato fries (love that Costco has a big bag of them right now!), and beef burger patty with avocado and bacon.
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner- This is what I ate during my last NAET treatment 25 hour avoidance phase. There is a different list of "safe foods" with every treatment, depending on what you're avoiding, and they recommend that you limit yourself to just two or three foods, as the more variety you consume, the more energy it takes for your body to digest and ideally you just want to let your body's energy be as unhindered as possible so you can achieve optimal results.
So this time I ate sweet potato, beef roast, and white rice. Yes, I felt a little guilty for the high amount of starch, but its only for 25 hours and, since they were prepared beforehand and cooled and then I warmed them up, the starches were able to convert to more resistant starch which is not so bad and actually does have beneficial properties.
Anway....apparently the vitamin B NAET treatment has the most difficult avoidance phase...coming up in two weeks I think, so stay tuned :)
Dinner- Ever since I first tasted Pad Thai back in July, I have had pretty regular cravings for it .Like, seriously, where has this stuff been all my life?! Considering I missed out on it for the first 28 years of my life, I think it's only fair to make up for lost time, right? But, with that big pile of noodles, even though they're gluten free rice noodles, it's not something I feel like I should eat very often. I imagine its about as easy to digest as playdough.... Anyway, I realized what I really love is the sauce. Yummmm. So I mixed some up with almond butter, peanut butter, fish sauce, coconut sugar, and lime juice and put it on cauliflower rice, and it was delicious! I mixed in some chopped turkey, egg and green onion while frying, and topped with more onion and chopped cashews. One thing I learned was that you can't trust all these recipes claiming to be The Best Pad Thai...it's really a matter of personal taste and the recipe I followed the first time tasted...really not good. So I would really recommend reading bunch of different  recipes to get an idea of ratios, and then mix up your own according to taste. And do not use vinegar. Lime juice is acidic AND it tastes good by itself...vinegar does not. I speak from experience. :)

This Is Going Well // DNRS review

{This is going W E L L}  Brian gave me this mug for Christmas, and it's my favorite.❤  All the work I've been doing to retrain my brain and heal my body has been going very well, and I am so excited and optimistic about the future!  I mentioned previously that I would be starting the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, (DNRS), which works with neuroplasticity based techniques to heal an impaired limbic system, which is essentially a brain injury that results from trauma and causes your brain to process and store information as if you are in a constant state of "fight or flight", or emergency response.  Trauma is relative to every individual, and there are different types of trauma; obvious things like death, war, victim of a crime, major accidents, and those sort of things are Traumas with a capital 'T'. Things like illness, chronic stress, unstable family life, negative relationships, and many others, are  traumas with a little 't'; on

Transformation // Hair Analysis #2

I haven't posted in over a year.  I have six drafts that I started writing and never posted because I just couldn't decide what to say, with all the current world events and how I was feeling emotionally and mentally, (kind of all over the place), so....it has been quite awhile since I updated on where I'm at in my health journey. When I last posted here, I talked about DNRS and what a difference it was making for me. I am very happy to say that, even with the world being turned upside down, I was still able to keep that new level of health I had reached, and I am now doing better than ever. That's not to say there haven't been a lot of ups and downs, and some really low lows, but I really believe that I healed my root cause issues. 2 years ago, I was working on treating anxiety, SIBO, low stomach acid, HPA axis dysfunction a.k.a. adrenal fatigue (the most severe my doctor had seen on paper), other hormonal issues, and more, all at the same time; it was challenging

Updated Supplement Protocol

This is my current protocol of supplements we are using to support my body in healing my gut, hormones, and overall health. I am posting this partly to document my progress, and also to share what is working for me,  and to maybe give people ideas to ask their doctor about. Do not just start taking any supplement without working with a trained practitioner. There are too many personal and varying factors to navigate the world of supplements and vitamins alone. Do yourself a favor and get professional, knowledgeable help to give you the best chance at complete recovery and fastest results. I saw my Naturopath last week, and we went over my symptoms and adjusted my supplements and added in a couple new things. This protein shake is one of the new additions to my treatment plan. OptiCleanse GHI is a protein powder supplement that we are using to support healing my gut, specifically leaky gut, and also support liver detox. It tastes quite good actually, which I was ver
