Another reason to include bone broth into your diet - it protects against glyphosate!

The key to roasting homemade marshmallows (that taste EVEN better than their store bought version) is to D R Y them out. Yup...you need to think ahead a bit. ... We whipped up a batch Monday and roasted Friday evening... Leave them uncovered on your countertop (hardest part is not snatching them) for 3-4 days. We use @theurbanposer recipe...works every time. https://theurbanposer.com/rustic-homemade-marshmallows-who/ #ditchthechemicals #healthyversion #tastesbetter #realfood

Out in the bush for a full day of wood processing (a much, much needed break from word processing). As much as I loved it, this was for the kids. @challengeoutdoors offers junior wilderness survival courses (and more). ... HIGHLY recommended! Check out what they got first hand experience with: - building shelters for emergency situations - knot tying (the kids were a whiz at this, me not so much - definitely a brain exercise) - axe safety + wood chopping skills - fire starting and safety With a huge emphasis on safety and eco-conservation, it was a beautiful way to spend the day outside. (This is not sponsored. I want to spread the word about companies encouraging families to get off screen time to enjoy some real time living). We have the most outstanding backyard here in Alberta. Have fun and enjoy it this long weekend or wherever you are!

We YYC It’s time to lean in. These are extremely difficult times. Under the government’s most recent restrictions we are still able to offer service to our families, and for that we are so grateful.... We’ve opened up every Saturday in December for naturopathic care - to ensure everyone needing support gets it. If you can’t find a time - PLEASE call the clinic - we’ll figure it out! We are leaning into our own support teams big time - as well as prioritizing healthy food (have you tried the liver pate from @bruheyyc ?!) and sleep . Routine. Routine. Routine. A few reminders as we move through these next few weeks > 1. We ask that if you are able to switch your follow up appointments to telemedicine, it would be very helpful. 2. If you require an in-person appointment, please wait in your car until the time of your visit. This helps reduce clinic congestion big time. Minimize the number of people joining you at your appointment, when possible. 3. Product pick ups will be done by curb side. You know the drill - connect with Linda to arrange . 4. Speaking of Linda - she’s pretty awesome. We know stress is super high and she works hard to extend kindness + compassion to everyone . Thanks for your patience if checking out or picking up your product takes a bit longer these days. We miss seeing your smiles and long for the day when this is behind us. Reach out. Ask for help. We’ve got this.

Our local community needs us in a big way. Let’s support the vision of what we want things to look like when we are through this all.... A beautiful message from our friends over at High-Vibe Health

Rhythm balances out polarity. Focus on finding your groove - your daily rhythm - and stick to it. It serves to anchor you during these tumultuous times. It allows your hard working adrenal glands some reprieve amidst the uncertainty of today. It’s quite powerful. Remember, too, that rhythm doesn’t mean rigidity. In fact, it’s the basis for adaptability and flexibility. Any repeated actions require less and less energy over time, freeing up much needed space for healing - phy...sically + emotionally. Nature teaches us that when contrasting elements collide in nature, it is rhythm that provides the connection between them...think of wave patterns - as water hits the earth. Right now, more than ever - as the polarity around us intensifies - we can find refuge in the simple acts of our daily routine. Maybe it’s lighting a candle before bed, praying upon waking or dedicating yourself to eating nourishing meals, slowly (instead of inhaling them on the run ). Whatever it is, commit to it. If we don’t - we run risking our days being dictated by outer circumstances and people. Let’s face it - this is exhausting... And those if you with lil’ones who are experiencing the heaviness of our times, they will feel the benefits of rhythmically living - almost immediately . What’s ONE thing you will commit to? #anthroposophy #lifestylemedicine #rhythm #backtobasics #adrenalreset #authenticself #bodyliteracy

Test. Don’t guess. Inquire at your next follow up. We can set you up to have your Vit D levels tested - so you can supplement accurately, if necessary. ... #vitd #test #immunesupport

Remembering those who gave up their tomorrow so we could have today.

I start my day every morning with cacao medicine

GRASS crackers - not exactly an appetizing name is it?! They taste better than they look! Maybe someone has some better ideas on what to call these green, crunchy things? Anyhow, this summer we connected with a super cool family by our local river - we met on hot days to swim with our kiddos for hours and hours. You know those friendships that are easy and leave you feeling excited about life? I’m still feeling grateful for the river uniting us! ... During our summer adventures I noticed she always brought the most interesting real-food snacks for her kids, and as you can imagine I was intrigued...quickly learning that her eldest has experienced tremendous healing for autism via a GAPS diet approach to living, along with various natural therapies - their story is so inspiring! That’s another post....anyhow, these crackers come from her recipe. I added bone broth because I had some...and tweaked a few things based on what I had on hand: They are great with fermented sides such as kraut or salsa, or perhaps hummus or veggie dip. Add to vitamix: 1/2 cup hemp seeds 1 whole lime or lemon (take seeds out) 1 tsp salt 1 tsp oregano 1 tsp Chili powder OR paprika OR curry powder 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 tsp turmeric 1-2 tbsp powdered wheat grass (get ours from @harmonic_arts) Optional: 2 cloves of garlic 1/4-1/3 cup bone broth 1 cup soaked flax seeds I also added a handful of soaked sunflower seeds Blend. Spread the green goo onto 3 silicon sheets - dehydrate slow and low (to keep enzymes intact) until crunchy but run a spatula to draw lines to cut into crackers easily. Enjoy!

Making these as soon as I can!
