Favorite Recipe Friday! I had a bunch of wild rice sitting in my cupboard and this was the perfect recipe to use it on. We ate it for 4 days straight (I doubled the recipe) and loved it everyvtime :) Enjoy! https://detoxinista.com/wild-rice-salad/

Thursday Morning Health Tip: Don't Believe the Brain when it Burps! I know, it's a weird title but hear me out. Something that all humans have in common is some version of the following stories: 'I'm not good enough', 'I'm not lovable', 'I'm a fraud', etc etc. Since all of us have these thoughts, they would seem less individual and more of a human condition. If this is the case, why make the mistake of believing the thoughts when they come up?! Why not see it as more of a malfunction, or just a release of air - a burp! When you look at it that way it has a lot less sting, and maybe a little humor :)

Favorite Recipe Friday! Made this tasty dish last night and the whole family loved it. The leftovers were even better today:) Enjoy! https://minimalistbaker.com/30-minute-potato-cauliflower-r/

Favorite Recipe Friday! Cherry Beet Detox Smoothie anyone? I often refer patients to Alissa's site for smoothie recipe because she lives in the same cold coastal rain forest climate as we do. Her locally sourced fruits and veggies work well for winter here . (If you're curious as to why we need to eat specific foods for specific climates - stay tuned! I post on it regularly and have in the past as well). ... Enjoy! http://www.nourishingmeals.com//cherry-beet-detox-smoothie

Thursday Morning Health Tip: Connection looks different at the moment. I'm not getting as much social interaction as I once was, so I try to create it wherever I go. I ask the checkout person how their day is going, I talk to people in line behind me, and smile at people out on walks when I don't have a mask on. Is it different? Of course. Is it satisfying? More than you would think :)

Favorite Recipe Friday! Paleo Banana Bread anyone?! Elanaspantry.com is popular for a reason! She uses the same ingredients in most of her recipes, keeps them simple, and they are all delish :) We make this recipe often and put chocolate chips on half for my daughter and leave the rest plain for my husband and I. ... Enjoy! https://elanaspantry.com/paleo-banana-bread/

Brazil Nuts - the Selenium Superstars! Brazil nuts contain anywhere from 96-400mcg of Selenium!! The RDA is 55-70mcg, but the optimal daily intake (ODI) is 200-300mcg/day. Why do you need Selenium in your life? It has four important functions in the body:... 1 - it helps the body detoxify via it's role in synthesizing glutathione peroxidase (GP) 2 - it decreases inflammation (also via GP) 3 - it is known to prevent many forms of cancer (GP again!) 4 - it helps keep your thyroid hormones functioning properly Brazil nuts are so high in selenium, you have to be careful not to eat too many. Toxicity signs include: garlic breath or sweat, metallic taste, nausea and vomiting, depression or anxiousness, etc. 1-2/day is plenty for an adult.
