WhatIEat#21

My meals might look a bit similar in this post because I batch cooked a few things, so my plate is often filled with the same foods, but I try to make each meal a little different so that I don't get bored.
Shredded white sweet potato hash browns and a chive omelette.
Salad with chicken and avocado and homemade honey mustard poppy seed dressing.
This dinner was so full of brightly veggie colors, I couldn't resist playing with my food a little. Grass fed, home grown beef, spinach, onion, beets, carrot, cabbage, sweet potatoe, and cauli puree.
Picnic lunch! We've been going to all the local beaches lately, for dinner picnic or Saturday afternoons.  This picnic had berries, carrots, fruit, cheese, GF crackers, salami, plantain chips, some deli fried chicken and sourdough bread with butter.                                              

Breakfast of eggs with Kerrygold cheese, fried sweet potatoes with ketchup, carrot juice and tea.
Fried eggs with hashbrowns and beets and spinach.
Beets, ground beef, sweet potatoes and spinach, sauteed together.
Dinnertime! Fresh, local new potatoes, steamer and then broiled with butter. Oven fried chicken, with GF flour and spices. Broccoli. Sourdough bread. I wanted to eat the bread so bad....I had one bite with butter and it was😍 so chewy and crunchy. Traditional sourdough bread is supposed to be more tolerable than regular bread, due to fermentation breaking down some of the gluten and making it easier to digest. This one is from Costco and I think it's decent (ingredients are acceptable) but no sure how long the started is aged so I don't go crazy on it. Besides, that in bite is often quite satisfying and savored more than a whole piece would be anyway.
Not very photogenic, but delicious- stir fried chicken and veg with cashews and a pad Thai type sauce. I have been buying the bags of coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots) and using them to make quick meals. Just add some meat (chicken, ground beef) and season, and you have a meal. You can throw in more veg like zucchini or spinach or other greens, or broccoli or riced cauliflower. Season simply with salt and pepper, add garlic and onion powder, dried dill, parsley if desired. For Thai flavor, I use fish sauce, coconut aminos (soy sauce replacement), lime juice, tamarind paste/concentrate, almond butter, cayenne pepper, sometimes coconut sugar or honey.
Lovely dinner salad with green leaf lettuce from local stand, Hemplers bacon, Kerrygold cheese, and homemade honey mustard poppy seed dressing.
Breakfast, eggs with cheese and heavy on the greens. Avocado on the side and tea.

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
