For me, beef stew is an easy breezy meal to make,

For me, beef stew is an easy breezy meal to make, especially with a slow cooker ⁣ ⁣ I keep it simple with some onions, carrots, celery, sometimes diced tomatoes, and not much else ⁣ ⁣ I don't like canned or frozen peas myself, and the purists will hate that I sometime throw in bell peppers, red, yellow or orange of course, green wouldn't work ⁣ ⁣ I don't add potatoes anymore now that I'm on the lower carb side of life but am still getting some with the carrots and all the healthy beta & alpha carotene ⁣ ⁣ My pressure cooker and slow cooker still work so I haven't jumped on the Instapost bandwagon, I mean, then what? Put the other appliances out to pasture? ⁣ ⁣ Beef is such a great source of iron, B12, zinc, protein, potassium, vitamin B3, phosphorus, selenium and magnesium ⁣ ⁣ Any secret ingredients out there for making beef stew that I should know about? 🤔 ⁣ ⁣ Lemme know in the comments !

A healthy liver can metabolize 8 to 10 grams of al

A healthy liver can metabolize 8 to 10 grams of alcohol in about an hour ⁣ ⁣ How alcohol is that? ⁣ ⁣ - 341 ml / 12 oz bottle of beer, cooler or cider with 5% alcohol- 142 ml / 5 oz of wine- 43 ml / 1.5 oz spirits with 40% alcohol ⁣ ⁣ For some, liver function can be less than ideal, even if their liver enzyme tests are normal which only shows acute inflammation or damage ⁣ ⁣ Liver function can be affected by insulin resistance (pre-diabetes, diabetes), being overweight or obese, nutrient deficiencies, especially choline, and even seemingly benign go-to remedies like acetaminophen ⁣ ⁣ A drink per hour detoxification rule is just a guideline; it's not something you can set a drinking schedule to ⁣ ⁣ If you drink at dinner and in the hours afterwards, the drinking doesn't stop when you take that last sip ⁣ ⁣ The alcohol that's in your system, moving down your digestive tract and sitting in your stomach waiting for its turn will continue to be absorbed into your bloodstream waiting to be detoxified ⁣ ⁣ Breaking down a lot of alcohol while you're sleeping can interfere with deep sleep AND interfere with the release of growth hormone that happens in the early hours affecting muscle protein repair and synthesis ⁣ ⁣ Does that mean we should all switch to day drinking? 😆 That I don't know but you might do better by limiting your drinking later at night ⁣ ⁣ Happy aging!

Every since I discovered how to make the perfect h

Every since I discovered how to make the perfect hard boiled egg, I've been making them regularly ⁣ ⁣ They are not only a perfect protein, but hard boiled eggs are super convenient to have in the fridge to crack open as a snack, and by snack I mean 3 at a time with salt ⁣ ⁣ Or, they're a go-to for me to top my epic salads with for lunch, again, at least 3 at a time ⁣ ⁣ That gives me 18 g of protein, lots of vitamin B 12, and over 400 mg of my good friend, albeit under-appreciated by most, choline ⁣ ⁣ These babies happen to be omega 3 enriched where the chickens were fed ground flaxseeds and fish oil fortified feed ⁣ ⁣ Three eggs gives me lots of omega 3 fats: 225 mg DHA, 45 mg EPA & 930 mg ALA ⁣ ⁣ Nutritious and delicious

Again with the Brussels sprouts ⁣ ⁣ I love the

Again with the Brussels sprouts ⁣ ⁣ I love them and all cruciferous (brassica) vegetables ⁣ ⁣ Many will want to jump on and tell me how bad they are because they have goitrogens and will ruin everyone's thyroid health ⁣ ⁣ It's true, goitrogenic foods can interfere with the body's ability to absorb iodine under certain conditions but there's hardly a pandemic ⁣ ⁣ If people are at risk of thyroid disorders, have active thyroid issues, are making goitrogenic foods staples their of breakfast, lunch and dinner ⁣ ⁣ Or worse, eating heaps of raw kale salads or guzzling loads of 'green smoothies' made with kale, broccoli etc AND not getting enough iodine, then ya, I'll give the ANTI-crucifer camp that one ⁣ ⁣ But including a variety of them, like cabbage, kale, broccoli, turnip, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, daikon, radish etc in reasonable amounts is healthy - the bulk of the evidence supports this ⁣ ⁣ Anyone else a Brussels sprouts lover?

Of course I needed the requisite photo of me in fr

Of course I needed the requisite photo of me in front of nature's bounty 😀 ⁣ ⁣ Cuz that never gets tired 🙄 ⁣ ⁣ Feeling pretty excited about 2020. Have left private practice behind, focusing now on projects that get me excited including more social media campaigns, paid blogging (which I LOVE to do, could do that all day long) ⁣ ⁣ But more importantly, launching my Podcast which is just about a week and a half away ⁣ ⁣ I've been recording and lining up interviews which is so much fun ⁣ ⁣ I've found something I love to do; find people that I can "talk shop" with about a variety of topics - no, not dietetics, but all things health and nutrition ⁣ ⁣ And I have some plans to make my Instagram a little more fun (or at least I hope) ⁣ ⁣ What about you? What do you have lined up for 2020? ⁣ ⁣ Lemme know!

This is real life folks ⁣ ⁣ No fancy lighting, or styling, or stuff ⁣ ⁣ Couscous, green things and chicken ⁣ ⁣ 😆 ⁣ ⁣ Got any photos of unfiltered foods pics that we should check out? ⁣ ⁣ Leave a comment or tag me !

It's so true ⁣ ⁣ Deep down you know this ⁣ ⁣ Medications don't have the same whole body effect that eating and exercise (activity) do ⁣ ⁣ So, a medication, which typically involves interrupting or interfering with one aspect of a metabolic pathway to reduce or improve a symptom couldn't possibly make up for the impact of a crappy diet ya? ⁣ ⁣ No amount of high blood pressure, 'cholesterol', or diabetes medication can 'undo' what an unhealthy diet does nor can it prevent, long term, in a clinically meaningful / relevant way, the impact that a poor diet does on your physical health (cells, tissues and organs) ⁣ ⁣ If medications are needed, and no, I"m not anti-medication, then they work best when supported by a healthy diet (and exercise) ⁣ ⁣ You can't have your best health if your underlying biology, physiology and anatomy are in need of repair

Straight up tea biscuits (with butter of course) ⁣ ⁣ I wish I could say they're mine but they're not, they're the masterful creation of @thevikingmom ⁣ ⁣ Master baker, weaver, knitter and more. You should see her cakes with fondant icing!! ⁣ ⁣ These are no doubt delish but I have a hard time with self control with certain foods so I could never have a bunch of these at my place 😜🙃 ⁣ ⁣ It's not about never ever. For myself, I've decided on a balance that works for me, so ya, I'll have something like this tea biscuit when I have the opportunity but I just know I do better with less grains ⁣ ⁣ I know it's considered 'taboo' to call foods 'indulgences' or 'weaknesses' cuz, you know, disordered eating BUT are there any foods that you've made peace with that were once a challenge? ⁣ ⁣ No shaming, this is all in the name of being authentic with a healthy dose of honest discussion 😘
