        1 Tbsp Fresh ginger 

        1-2 TBSP Lemon or lime Juice

        1 Cup Coconut Milk 

        1 1/2 Cup Frozen Pineapple

        1 Small frozen banana (optional)

        2 Cups Spinach

        Add all ingredients to blender and blend on high until completely smooth.  Add water until desired thickness. 

        *Important Notes

        *For spinach (and kale)if it fresh, then quick steam it, drain off the water then add it to the recipe. You can bag the rest and keep it in the freezer, or buy chopped frozen spinach instead.  Do not eat raw spinach or Kale as it is not in the a digestible form, it most likely will cause bloating if raw.  Heat needs to be added to break down the outer cell membrane.  Steam it till it is bright green then quickly remove heat and it’s ready.  about 1-3 mins tops depending on how thick the vein is. 

        Optional banana:

        **If you are watching your sugars/glucose levels, omit the banana and use banana extract if you want the flavor but not extra carbs.  

        Lyme Disease? What is it and how affects the body.

          With all the new diseases and disorders out there, sometimes it is hard to make sense of them all.  Recently more discussion on Lyme disease is surfacing.  I have also been researching Epstein Barr as well.  There are many stages of Epstein Barr, and one of them can be misdiagnosed as Lyme disease.

          I love learning and want to be able to help my clients the very best way possible.  Here is a great article from Dr. Axe explaining Lyme disease.  IF you feel you’d like to discuss some of your symptoms and dig a little deeper into your health concerns, let’s set up an appointment so we can get you on the right track to your very best self.

                Trouble sleeping? Trouble with kids swallowing pills? Melatonin Gummies without artificial sugars!!

                  Are you having trouble falling asleep?  Do you hate swallowing pills?  There are lots of triggers that cause insomnia.  What are you eating before bed?  How close to sleep are you eating? Is it a Carbohydrate?  Let’s connect the dots….

                  Carbohydrates give us energy, right?  That’s why we eat in the morning….So, why would you want to eat before bed?  That raises insulin levels, causes disruptions in sleep patterns, and forces your digestive system to start working when your immune system should be working instead.

                  I would love to see my clients benefit from a full nights sleep.  There are many options… Nitric oxide, CBD oil, Melatonin, 5–HTP, Serotonin, GABA, and I could go on.  Here is one option below.

                  If you are interested in lowering your sugar levels naturally and want to actively take a part in your health and well being let’s meet and discuss options that are best for you!

                  Fear and Purpose

                    In order to stop symptoms, reverse disease, and stay on a path to overall health and wellness you need to have balance in three areas:

                    Food and Nutrition

                    Science and Nutrition

                    Emotional balance (Soul health)

                    I find that most people are missing pieces to one, two, or all three of these components and overlook the fact that having complete balance with all three is the key to whole health. It’s not just the right diet, or the perfect supplement, or the right labs. It’s also, the right mindset and emotional balance that leads to long-term heath and wellness.

                    One of the main puzzle pieces to emotional balance, is the perspective people have when choosing to make change. And essentially, there are only two ways people make change: through fear or purpose.

                    With FEAR, you are moving AWAY from an issue. Example, “I want to be out of debt.”

                    With PURPOSE, you are intentionally moving TOWARDS what you want. Example, “I want to be financially free.”

                    I have found that when clients realign their goals with purpose, they get better faster, with less effort, and with longer-term success.

                    When you are in FEAR mode your emotions tend to circle around depression, anxiety, frustration, panic, and overwhelm.

                    When you focus on PURPOSE, your emotions will show up as joy, happiness, enthusiasm, and gratitude.

                    So, take a moment and reflect… In your journey of healing, how do you approach it?

                    Is it from a point of FEAR?

                    “I don’t want to get sick like my parents.”

                    “I want my symptoms to stop.”

                    “I’m afraid to make changes, because they might not work.”

                     

                    Or is it from the position of PURPOSE and intention?

                    “I want to be healthy and set a good example for my children.”

                    “I want to be whole and healed.”

                    “I choose to make the changes necessary because I deserve health.”

                    Though these may seem like small differences, they make enormous impact on healing and wellness. Not only do I see this every day with clients, there are numerous studies which solidify the success of this shift in perception.

                    Reaching towards what you want (PURPOSE), rather than running away from what you don’t want (FEAR), is a key component in attaining your life goals surrounding health, financial, relationships, and personal happiness.

                    Right now, take a moment to scan your most recent decisions about your life. Do you typically make choices based on fear or purpose? 

                    Are you moving towards what you want or away from what you don’t? 

                    When was the last time you advocated for yourself, purposely aligned your decisions with your goals, obtained what you really wanted, and then stayed on track to KEEP those successes?
