The Best Grain Free Blueberry Muffins

    When we first went gluten free, it honestly wasn’t that hard. I was used to cooking mostly at home, as that’s the way I grew up, and thanks to Bette Hagman (a.k.a. the Gluten Free Gourmet), there were plenty of good recipes out there as well as flour mixes that tasted pretty close …

Gluten Free Sourdough Bread

Hello everyone! It seems like it has been FOREVER since I’ve posted here on my blog, and I truly do apologize for that. Life has been a bit interesting to say the least in the past year here; however, we can turn anything that life throws us into something good, and that is exactly what …

This website is dedicated to helping the reader towards better health by taking a holistic, natural approach with a special emphasis on the digestive system. For some of you, changes may come quickly, and for others, reaching your health goals may take some time, even years. The most important thing to remember is that no matter how long it takes, it starts with your first step. Do not be afraid to take that first step towards health, and keep moving forward!

Self Care tip #6 - Find three things to be grateful for each day Research shows that the practice of gratitude increases dopamine production which encourages your brain to want more. It says, "I like that, do that again!" So this means the more you are grateful for, the more you will find to be grateful for! . Today I am grateful for: 1. Fresh herbs 2. Fresh eggs (do you see the little blue green egg in there? It's the first one from our little olive egger hen!) 3. Fresh air and sunshine, and the fact I could take my shoes off and walk around in the grass without getting frostbite today It seems simple, but sometimes the simplest things can have the greatest impact! ❤️ What are three things that you're grateful for today?
So I fought the mask thing for a long time. After all, studies have shown that cloth masks aren't effective at preventing viruses from passing through, so they end up giving many people a false sense of security -- washing your hands, staying 6 feet away from people (and caring for your inner terrain by eating real and fermented foods, avoiding sugar, getting enough sleep, and oiling up!) are where it's at. But as of Friday, masks will be mandatory in public places in Illinois. So I will wear a mask. But that doesn't mean I will stop doing all the other healthy things that actually work!! . On Friday, May 8th I will be offering a free class on Facebook on how to make your body an inhospitable host, not just to the current virus going around but to ANYTHING that could potentially affect your health. Flu. Food poisoning. Toxins in the environment. If your body is strong from the roots up, you don't need to live in fear! . If you're on FB and would like an invite to the event, please comment below! For my Insta-only friends, no worries -- I will post an IGTV version of the class on the 8th. Taking care of your health is an investment that will pay off over and over again for the rest of your life ❤️ Make time for it!
Growing your own veggies at home doesn't have to be complicated! It can be as simple as going to the store, picking up a plant or two, and growing them on your back deck. Right now, more and more people are thinking about growing their own food; it's yet another way that this lockdown is encouraging us to get back to our roots (sorry all ladies quarantined without hair color -- no pun intended 😉) . Homegrown produce is better for you than supermarket produce in a number of ways: You can control the growing conditions, what's sprayed on it, and the type of soil and fertilizers used. You can pick it at the perfect moment of ripeness versus it being picked unripe, shipped thousands of miles to the store, and artificially sprayed to force-ripen it. (Example: ever compared a homegrown tomato to one you bought at the store in February? 🤢) . Gardening has been shown to have benefits for the mood (hello happy soil bacteria) as well as the benefits of soaking up the sunshine (did you know vitamin D is huge for your immune system?) . So what are you growing this year? 🌱
So the CDC isn't really sure what to use to stop this pandemic. They've thrown out a few suggestions for doctors to try and have seen some success: things like anti-malarials, azithromycin (an antibiotic), etc. (The latest is they're saying Ivermectin could be helpful, and now the Tractor Supply Store has to remove all their goat dewormer from the shelves to keep people from ingesting it 🤦) . However, even though they're not sure what WILL work, they have come to definitive conclusions about what won't: . Anything natural. . They've claimed that things like Vitamin C aren't effective (despite the Chinese saying that it is). Other things that are pointless? Essential oils, natural supplements, herbs, elderberry syrup, colloidal silver ... They have advised that they are useless and claim that people who are taking them during this time are "desperate". . The thing is ... What can it hurt? Science has shown study after study that the key to overcoming ANY virus, bacteria, or external insult is to have a healthy body: a well-balanced gut microbiome which leads to a well-functioning immune system. Even in the case of this particular virus, they're finding that gut health is key to how severe a person's symptoms are. . So I'm sorry, I'm still taking my daily vitamin C! (There's nearly 3,000 studies that have been done showing its benefits for the immune system) I'm using my oils! (There's over 5,000 studies showing how stress affects our gut health, so just for that aspect alone I'm rubbing on the lavender and frank) . I'm getting my rest. I'm drinking clean water. I'm worrying less. . Will any of these things keep me from catching the CV? Maybe not. But science says that they're all working to make my body a much more inhospitable host in case ANY virus decides to take up residence there! For me, that's better than just sitting around waiting for them to figure this thing out. . Oh and I made up some more fire cider ... Because goodness knows, a shot of that stuff clears your airways out! 😉🔥 . Stay healthy friends ❤️
People have been checking in and wondering why I haven't been on social media much. This picture pretty much sums it up 😁 Thank you so much for all the love and concern! We are all well ... We're just knee deep in new baby goats and springtime work here on the farm ❤️ What have you been doing to stay out of trouble lately? 😉
Here's an easy hack for when you have to head out to the grocery store (or any public place) ... . I try to avoid public bathrooms if possible, but sometimes it just isn't possible, ya know? 😁 The hand soap in public bathrooms often contains ingredients that I don't want on my skin: things like fragrances, artificial dyes, and ingredients that disrupt hormones and alter our skin's natural pH (causing breakdown and not allowing it to work as the barrier that it should be) Here's a simple solution (and it involves #recycling -- yay!): After you are done drinking your Vitality drops, fill the empty container with your hand soap of choice! I like to use unscented liquid Castile's soap, and then I add Thieves and orange oil to it (about 7 drops Thieves and 5 drops orange for this size container). Pop it in your purse, and you're ready to go! Oh, but make sure you remove the label on the bottle first, or you might be squirting soap into your drinking water instead of your bergamot grapefruit Vitality drops 😉😜 . . . #reuse #oilhack #washyourhands
