Did you know most premade alternative milks have g

Did you know most premade alternative milks have gut damaging fillers in them? 🥛
*
When I was healing, and even now when I prioritize my gut health, I try to avoid foods and drinks that have “gums” in them.
*
Ingredients like xantham gum and guar gum can literally gum up the intestinal lining and create increased intestinal permeability and lead to nutrient malabsorption as well as food sensitivities.
*
Because I have done so much work over the years on healing my gut (to heal from Hashimotos), generally gums are not included in what I eat and drink.
*
Since I also don’t drink animal dairy because it ramps up my immune system, I needed to find an alternative #plantbasedmilk that I could enjoy.
*
I used to buy boxed hemp milk but it was so hard to find any that didn’t have those darned gums in them. Plus I wanted organic as well as soaked and sprouted seeds for easier digestion. That is literally a product that is not on the market!
*
Enter @AlmondCow! When I found this gadget and purchased one for my birthday last year I was super stoked.
*
Now I make my own organic, soaked and sprouted FILLER FREE hemp milk every single week and guess what?!?!?
*
💥I do it in about ONE MINUTE by just pushing a button.
*
You’ve got to head over to my stories to see how I do it.

Do you have hope for healing? * There have been ti

Do you have hope for healing?
*
There have been time where I have been hopeless. On my death bed years ago when I literally had run out of options for getting well and had already spent thousands upon thousands of dollars to try and get better, I felt hopeless.
*
This feeling causes utter despair and I hate the thought of any of my followers feeling it.
*
Just 'saying' there is hope for healing can sometimes feel trite but because I have worked with so many women who HAVE gotten well again, I know it’s possible to have hope for healing so I can say with confidence.
*
You can feel well again and heal! 🤗
*
From a spiritual perspective I also want to give you hope.
*
As I was reading God’s word this morning, I was reminded of this verse>> “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12
*
This verse resonates with me so much because I have experienced it. Hope does give life!
*
So today, my friend, don’t lose hope of healing. It is possible for you to feel like yourself again (or better than you used too!)
*
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good HOPE by GRACE, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work.” 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 *

#CrampKiller Powerhouse Essential Oil Blend! * Imm

#CrampKiller Powerhouse Essential Oil Blend!
*
Immortelle is one essential oil blend I am never without. 🌱
*
Though it’s marketed as an “anti-aging” blend (which it is), I use it for so many more #naturalbenefits.
*
My favorite is as natural relief for cramps and breast tenderness!
*
Oils in this blend:
✳Hawaiian Sandalwood: santalol: suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines
✳Lavender: linalyl acetate: reduces inflammation
✳Frankincense: alpha pinene: minimizes scarring and improves DNA function
✳Myrrh: Curzerene: inflammation cooling and 1,3 diene ultra wound soothing and works on opiod receptors
✳Helichrysum: neryl acetate: improves neurological function and aging processes
✳Rose: citronellol: reduces free radicals and oxidative stress on cells
*
If you experience #PMS it’s caused by a toxin overload and liver congestion. Reducing toxins in your life by using essential oils, eating whole food and ditching the processed and overhauling your cleaners, toiletries and cosmetics as well as prioritizing sleep and stress management, you will reduce your toxic load. *
I know that’s a lot, so why not just start by applying Immortelle over your liver and abdomen 1 time a day? *
➡️➡️Other reasons to use this oil blend: head tension, skin wounds and blemishes, better sleep, grounding and relaxation, improved organ function.

This month's #hopegiver is Victoria-Hashimoto's Warrior!
*
Here's her interview with #FeastingOnJoy:
*
❇What WAS YOUR DIAGNOSIS?
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's and Hypothyroidism at 14 years old.
*
❇HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO GET YOUR DIAGNOSIS?
My physician believes I had the condition for at least 5 years prior to my diagnosis. I always struggled with mood and weight, which got worse as I entered my pre-teen years. Diagnosed sort of by accident. My family has a history of gallstones, and in testing for that, they discovered my thyroid problems.
*
❇WHAT WAS THE LOWEST POINT IN YOUR HEALING JOURNEY?
At 19 years old, I began to feel sick, depressed and exhausted. I couldn't get out of bed, I cried every day, gained nearly 22lbs. in under a month, had horrible brain fog, my hormones were crazy and I felt like something was very wrong. I remember leaving my doctor's office with an antidepressant script thinking that this was my life from now on. I hit rock bottom. *
❇WHAT RESOURCES DID YOU USE ON YOUR HEALING JOURNEY?
I first realized that my thyroid was the problem when I joined Rachel Hill's (The Invisible Hypothyroidism) Facebook group, The Thyroid Family. So many people were dealing with similar situations. That's when I started to advocate for fighting for your health. Since then, I have read dozens of thyroid-related health books, read numerous medical studies and started my own blog.
*
❇WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW FROM YOU WHO ARE IN THE TRENCHES TRYING TO HEAL RIGHT NOW?
Their symptoms are real and valid regardless of what a doctor tells them. Diet and lifestyle are stronger factors than you may think in terms of healing from chronic illness. We can stop the cycle of chronic illness by becoming advocates for health in a world that profits off disease.
*
❇HOW CAN PEOPLE FIND YOU ON THE INTERWEBS?

Thank you, Victoria for sharing with us and being a #hopegiver!

What in the World is Hashimoto’s Disease? Have you recently been diagnosed or just need to know more about it?
*
I remember 13 years ago being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s never having heard of it before.
*
I didn’t even know what a thyroid was!
*
Back then, I trusted my endocrinologist (top endo to a MLB team) to guide me in healing and wellness.
*
That was a joke.
*
I literally wasted 3 years of my life feeling awful every day with literally every single one of these symptoms (except weight gain – I was losing weight which I learned later was from #leakygut)
*
Synthroid didn’t solve my problems (it doesn’t even have anything to do with Hashimoto’s).
*
Going gluten-free didn’t solve my problems either!
*
Healing was so much more deep-rooted in my mindset, oral health, stress levels, an overload of toxins in my body, #epsteinbarr, lack of sleep, a wrecked gut and more.
*
It wasn’t until I became my own advocate, ditched my horrible endo, and addressed my body from a holistic standpoint addressing my root causes, that I got well.

Can we please stop considering soy a health food?

Can we please stop considering soy a health food?
*
Soy protein isolate which is the type of soy the western world eats is made by the following:
*
The fiber of the bean is soaked in an alkaline solution and then put into ALUMINUM tanks for an ACID wash. The acid of course makes the soy absorb the aluminum. *
💥Yes, aluminum has been linked to Alzheimers, dementia and breast cancer.
*
The beans are then treated with other chemicals (including cancer causing nitrates) and the end result is a tasteless powder used in virtually all processed foods today.
*
Soy is a goitrogen (think thyroid goiter) and impairs thyroid function.
*
Soy is high in phytates which bind to minerals in your body (stealing them from your body).
*
Soy is high in phytoestrogens which can mimic your female hormones and cause imbalance.
*
90% of soy is genetically modified which means it’s highly treated with pesticides, herbicides and fungicides and wreaks havoc on your gut microbiome.
*
Though I don’t recommend any soy to my clients dealing with chronic illness, if you do eat any soy, make it the fermented type like natto or miso and consume only very little amounts of it.

Candida overgrowth = compromised immunity. * With

Candida overgrowth = compromised immunity.
*
With the right conditions, there's no limit to where candida will spread, and, when rampant, it can compromise your immunity and increase the risk of autoimmune conditions and other chronic diseases... *
...not to mention the intense sugar cravings, brain fog, bloating, depression, anxiety, digestive issues and low energy it can cause!
*
Yes, a lowered immune response can contribute to candida overgrowth.
*
And candida overgrowth can compromise the gut barrier and contribute to leaky gut; your gut is a critical part of your immune system.
*

See any of your symptoms here? Gentle liver love is the solution.
*
The role of the liver in thyroid health is a critical component for healing.
*
It's due to your liver function that your body can even convert the inactive thyroid hormone T4 (thyroxine) to the active hormone T3 (triiodothyronine).
*
The liver also synthesizes IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor), estrogen, progesterone, & steroid hormones like cortisol *
Incomplete hormone conjugation can lead to a host of symptoms which is why you'll want to do specific modalities to love your liver every single day.

What do you use for X.Y.Z???
.
.
I get asked all the time as a practitioner what I use and recommend for remitting chronic illness.
.
.
From food and supplements to toiletries and books. You name it, my people ask.
.
.
I also get asked about how I have a successful online business.
.
.
To help answer many of those questions, I put together a comprehensive wellness page that highlights many of my practitioner recommendations.
.
.
It's called Practitioner Picks!
.
.
Use it as a resource to uplevel and boost your health and wellness.
