Merry Christmas! And thank you for sharing your knowledge. I liked so many things you talked about.good reminder and I try to remind myself, and esp need to teach my son , that just because you try something and it doesn’t work or not your thing, what did you learn from it?
I love my warm cup of ‘wake up drink’ in the mornings too, and only started drinking it the last 5 ish years or so. I have studied nutrition too ( functional diagnostic nutrition cert) and learned thru it a while ago that women handle or process caffeine differently than men. It really messes up our hormones and I can’t remember specifically what happens, but I do know that it is not good for us but, men can handle it just fine ..did you know that ? I was reminded of that when you said you and your girls have noticed the caffeine sticks with you forever and you can tell that it’s not good for you ,versus your husband can go to sleep half an hour after he’s drank it. so just thought I would share that. I too can tell it is draining my adrenals I’m not helping my hormones so even though every part of me is saying no don’t give it up !your favorite drink! I know that I need to . so maybe I will mentally be prepared by January 1 and join you.
When you were talking about how you got your certification in nutrition and start a practice helping clients I completely have been there and understand what you’re talking about because I did a similar route .I was a personal trainer first and massage therapist and then I found many things that would help me with nutrition that I wanted to share and help others, but I grew very discouraged and not understanding why people would come to me for help and then tell me how it was going to be or not even do the steps that they could do to make themselves better. I put so much time into 1 person only to have them make excuses and do nothing. Sometimes I wonder if it only drew people to me with a certain kind of personality.? And as you were saying how military guys would do the steps you told them they needed to do to get bigger muscles right to get stronger healthier, they would do it !!I just laughed because I could totally see that having been there. Thx for sharing.
The part you shared about herbs and using flowers for mental breakthroughs or help it’s very fascinating to me and that’s really awesome that they have helped you so much mentally . I will be checking them out. I think I struggle with herbs being OK to use in foods or for remedies knowing what I know about carnivore, (I’m not 100% carnivore but I definitely would like to be.. ) I still see that they could have properties just like vegetables that instead of helping you actually cause harm or reactions in the body. But maybe if only used for a short time when you’re sick the benefit outweighs the negative..?
You ask if you should continue doing this I see it as an easier way for you to answer peoples questions and I really enjoy hearing your voice and where you go with different questions ,you know even the little side stories are awesome.😁 I would like you to continue to keep doing them every once in a while☺️
Thank you & Merry Christmas! Love your gumption to quit coffee. I’m holding out a bit longer. Instead, I’ll strongly consider cold plunging! That’s been on my radar lately so, it’s no surprise you mentioned it. I was born and raised MUCH closer to the equator so, cold is not my jam. This won’t be easy!
I’m an RN and was always baffled by allopathic medicine but spent most of it in trauma care so, I guess I circumvented the full circle chronic-disease-is-an-abysmal-failure as a nurse until my own health became a chronic problem. After years of ok help, I changed my diet: first GF, then Paleo, then ancestral/species appropriate (all intuitively and much guided by WAPF), then mostly carnivore. Feel deeply into the Functional Medicine world and branched all the way out to reiki but, all along remained fairly ignorant to homeopathy and completely ignorant to flower essence therapy. Who knew?! So, thank you for giving me a new interest (because I’m one of those that studies everything that captures my interest- until I’m no longer interested 😉)
I hope you keep having conversations with us!! I enjoy your recordings.
