Paleo Challenge

I need to commit to a week of clean eating, and I'm needing some accountability...so I will post all the food I eat this week Monday through Saturday on here. I usually am not a fan of accountability groups and the like, since my perfectionistic tendencies can leave me with some major guilt if I do anything less than "perfect", but I think I've made progress in that area and also I've been having a hard time commiting to Paleo/clean eating, even though I can feel it's what my body wants. So, starting with breakfast this morning, here it goes:
(I'm just going to post all the food pics in here, updating this post daily)



Monday dinner- the pizza crust and the tortilla chips were not Paleo...am I sorry? No. Our family loves to go have a picnic by the ocean, and the traditional food I make is homemade GF pizza. So I indulged and enjoyed the pizza with my family, because sometimes healthy eating is about enjoying your food and also I want to be a good example to my daughter; I don't want to have her grow up with a mama who could never eat the same meal as everyone else because of a special diet or personal choice (there's been enough of that already). I want her to see it's ok to enjoy food with people you love, and not worry about every bite you put in your mouth. That being said, I am still doing my Paleo challenge week :)

(The pancake is Paleo :) )










This is lemon curd 🍋 made by my sister in law Jessica... I've mentioned it before on here. It's not Paleo due to the sugar, but it's sitting in my fridge right and now I had to have some, because 1. Otherwise Brian will eat it all, and 2. If it goes bad I will be very upset. Seriously this stuff is so good. Perfect balance of sweet and tangy. Every time I taste it I think about paying her to make me more. No joke.










I had a handful of popcorn that I didn't take a pic of. And a spoonful of cashew butter.

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
