Sourdough bread. You can bet this is one quarantine trend I jumped on real quick. Sourdough is made using wild yeasts from a renewable starter culture that lives in your fridge, rather than the store bought bakers yeasts that were so elusive this winter as everyone snapped them up from the shelves. ... Sourdough is a better option for bread anyways. The wild yeasts from the starter are stronger than traditional bakers yeasts, allowing for a longer ferment and the production of lactic acid. This lactic acid is what gives the bread its sour flavour. The longer fermentation period of the bread breaks down gluten, meaning people who are normal sensitive to wheat and gluten MAY be able to tolerate sourdough (maybe, maybe not). The ferment also breaks down phytic acid, a compound found in most grains that binds mineral and vitamins and prevents absorption. Sourdough has less phytic acid, meaning the nutrients are more absorbable for us. All in all sourdough is delish, is better for you, and is always a good skill to learn. If you need a starter, hit me up! #quarantineofsourdough See more

We started to think more about coming together as a community, taking care of our planet by switching to pl...ant-based diets, using natural products, and shopping locally. We look forward to turning our phones off during vacations, upped our self care game, and learned that our breath can be the ultimate tool to de-stress Check out my blog (link in bio) where I talk about a few wellness trends that don’t actually make me cringe.

Your skin and joints are a window to your digestive tract. When your body is overburdened with toxins it needs a place to store them, to remove them from circulation, stopping further assaults on important organs and glands. Your skin and bones are a large easy target for deposition of toxins improperly removed through sweat when the primary emunctories are overwhelmed. This is why many common skin conditions like acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and hives improve with ...proper elimination. Flare ups of chronic conditions such as arthritis, autoimmune, or fibromyalgia may worsen from toxicity, as circulating toxins are deposited in vulnerable areas throughout the body.
