My daughter Jess @jjawnz took this picture of me w My daughter Jess @jjawnz took this picture of me when I met her at the airport on Saturday.❤️ • After almost 24 years, our relationship of a parent and a child evolved into something different. She’s still my child, but is also a stand-alone independent adult, whose views and decisions I’m learning to respect unconditionally. I hold space for her when she needs my advice, help or encouragement, otherwise I live my life as an independent adult too. We’re eternally connected, but we’re not constantly in each other’s businesses and lives. • I made a lot of mistakes as a parent when my girl was growing up, but at the end of the day - I did my best with information and awareness I had at the time. I’m not perfect at being a parent to an adult child either, but Jess and I figure things out as we go. • When Jess was little, we made up a little silly verse, which we sometimes still recite together in exaggerated theatrical voices: ‘Life is not a toothpaste commercial… Sometimes life is unfair, …but we’re still alive - thank god!!!’ 😅🙌🏻 • Take every life moment as it comes. Enjoy your little and grown up kids as unique and independent souls. We’re all here for the long haul, so embrace everything what comes along with being a parent - happy and challenging, familiar and complicated, perfect and messy, calm and stormy. Life is perfectly imperfect and that’s why it’s beautiful - no matter what. ✨💞😊
Brussels sprouts with bacon recipe.👇🏻 . I l Brussels sprouts with bacon recipe.👇🏻 . I love Brussel sprouts for their rich sulfur content. That stinky sulfur is actually an essential nutrient. Many of the liver's detoxifying enzymes can only be made with sulfur. The enzymes that break up mucus are made with sulfur. . Eating Brussels sprouts provides an important raw material for detoxification; a process the body can accomplish all on its own as long as it gets the sulfur it needs. In fact, Brussels sprouts support both of the key phases of detoxification. . Their vitamin C content contributes to the formation of Phase I enzymes, which break down toxic compounds into smaller chemicals. Their sulfur compounds support the formation of Phase II enzymes, which attach these smaller compounds to other chemicals that make them inert, or chemically inactive. . ⚠️However, it's always possible to get too much of a good thing, but eating cooked (but not overcooked!) Brussels sprouts several times a week is inherently healthy. Because of the goitrogens, raw or even fermented Brussels sprouts should only be consumed as an occasional food. . My sulfur-rich Brussels sprouts and bacon recipe is a super delicious side dish that your whole family will love. INGREDIENTS •300g bacon (from sustainably raised pork, nitrate and preservatives free) - cut into small pieces •1Tbs lard •2 dozen Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved •Salt and pepper to taste INSTRUCTIONS •Fry the bacon with some lard in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. •Take the bacon out of the pan (set aside until needed) and leave the grease in there.
•Add the Brussels sprouts to the pan, stir them until they're nicely coated in the bacon grease and lard, and cover the pan with a lid. •Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes. 
•Add the bacon back into the pan. Cook, uncovered, for a few more minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are as tender and/or browned as you want. 
•Season with unrefined sea salt and black pepper. Serve immediately. . This side dish is the perfect accompaniment to a roast (chicken, beef, or pork), or even served with eggs (also rich in sulfur) for breakfast. . What sulfur-rich foods do you eat every day?🥬🥬🥬

This post is my last one in the series of posts ab This post is my last one in the series of posts about detoxification. ✨🙏🏻 • Throughout human history many traditional cultures and religious practices have used specific therapies to assist with detoxification and cleansing of their bodies and minds. Some of these practices are still used today. • Detoxification is a very personal experience that requires you to dive within the deepest parts of yourself and demolish all toxic waste - physical and metaphysical. As such, it should always be done with care, respect, and understanding. 🙏🏻✨
In my 3rd post of the Detoxification series, I cov In my 3rd post of the Detoxification series, I cover ways to minimise exposure to toxins in our homes. • However, be sure to check my feed for information about other toxins in our environment like mercury in amalgam filings, endocrine disrupters in plastic and skincare, toxins in perfumes and even our clothes. I’ll share those posts in my stories today. • «For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death. In the less than two decades of their use, the synthetic pesticides have been so thoroughly distributed throughout the animate and inanimate world that they occur virtually everywhere.» Rachel Carson, 1962 (sourced from ‘The Wahls Protocol’ by Terry Wahls, M.D.) • The following are a few recommendations for products and services that helped me personally to minimise exposure to toxins in my life and made significant improvements in my health and health of my clients: ❇️Water filtering system: @waterscofilters ❇️Hair products: @owayofficial from @sableboutique ❇️Oral Care: @ecostorenz and @weledanz ❇️Makeup: @aleph.beauty ❇️Skincare: @nourishing.works ❇️Organic cotton and linen bedding: @wallacecotton ❇️Holistic dentist in Christchurch: www.dentistryonmerivale.co.nz ❇️Essential oils for home and as purfume: @twenty.8.essential @go_native_nz and @vibrantblueoils • Stay tuned for the last post in this series, where I’ll talk about traditional cultural and religious detoxification practices that are both fascinating and educational. • Are you convinced that assisting natural detoxification is a must for humans these days or do you think it’s a waste of time?

This is my 2nd post in the series of posts about d This is my 2nd post in the series of posts about detoxification practices. I’m obviously just scratching the surface here, so do your own research and work with your health practitioner to ensure these detoxification practices are appropriate for your current bio-individual needs. • I personally use most of the practices mentioned in the post, except colonic irrigation/enemas, but these are on my list to try. 🙌🏻 • The following are my favorite tools and practitioners I recommend to check out for all your detoxification needs. No affiliation with these guys whatsoever, I just love their products/services: 🧹Best brush for dry skin brushing: @stassandco Purchase this brush from: @sableboutique 🧹Best NIR sauna: @nourishing.works 😉 🧹Best massage therapy + Biodetox foot bath: elenachomic@yahoo.com (Instagram account is coming soon or check her Facebook page Wellbeing with Elena) 🧹Best magnesium chloride salts to add to your baths plus clays and activated charcoal products: @blantsnz 🧹For a wealth of knowledge about colonic enemas and other detoxification practices, follow this amazing fellow FNTP: @chantal__cook 🧹Also check out my earlier posts about benefits of clay/activated charcoal masks, magnesium chloride baths, dry skin brushing, NIR saunas, cold showers and castor oil packs. These are all simple tools you could incorporate into your everyday self care and detoxification practices. • My next two posts will be dedicated to ways we can minimise toxic exposure, as well as an overview of some traditional cultural detoxification practices. Stay tuned for those! • What do you do every day to detoxify? What are you favorite tools, products, practitioners? Share with us in the comments. 🙏🏻✨
This post is my first one in the series of posts d This post is my first one in the series of posts dedicated to detoxification practices. Enjoy! • Conventional wisdom believes that “detox” is a myth. On the other side, we have ‘detox gurus’ prescribing cayenne-maple-lemon tea, green juices and charcoal water as cures for essentially everything. Where’s the truth lie? • First, detoxification definitely exists. When we come into contact with toxins - compounds that pose a threat to our healthy homeostasis - we must remove them. That’s detoxification. • Secondly, our bodies come equipped with detoxification capabilities. We use our digestion organs, liver, kidneys, skin and lungs to remove and/or nullify dangerous compounds that enter the body. And we can improve the functioning of those capacities, either by actively supporting them with necessary precursors or by getting out of their way. • Detoxification plays paramount role in keeping your gut lining in great condition and your gut flora in beautiful balance. A staggering amount of toxins in our environment affect our hormones, immune system, neurotransmitter production, cell replication, fat storage and more. • While our ancestors didn’t need to detox, we’re not living in our natural state and so we do need to pay extra attention to assisting our bodies to clear out the mess. • Watch this space for future posts about the ways you could help your body to detoxify. I will also be talking here about traditional cultural detoxification practices like Ayurveda, Hippocratic medicine, Native American medicine, Traditional Herbal and Chinese medicines, as well as many religious traditions of detoxification for both body and mind. • What do you think about detox? Are your organs of detoxification open and ready for a good clean up? 🧹🧹🧹
Happy Mama’s day to all beautiful women out ther Happy Mama’s day to all beautiful women out there. We’re all nurturing and loving mothers whether it’s to our biological children, fury babies, awesome dream projects we’ve given birth to, or other people in our lives touched by our love. • Making whole food treats for everyone to enjoy on special occasions is customary in most cultures. Indulge in celebratory foods made with quality ingredients and enjoy the company of people you’re sharing these treats with. Remember it’s not what you eat occasionally, it’s what you eat most of the time that makes the difference. • Here is our delicious ORANGE ALMOND CAKE topped up with orange syrup, fresh tamarillos and bee pollen. It’s gluten and grain free, but it has cane sugar in it. Feel free to substitute with coconut sugar or raw honey, but I found that organic cane sugar works best in this recipe. This cake comes out very moist and zesty. Enjoy! 🍊🍊🍊 INGREDIENTS • 3 organic oranges • 6 organic pasture raised eggs • 1 Tb spoon orange blossom water • 1.5 cups organic cane sugar • 1 Tb spoon GF baking powder • 1.5 cups organic almond flour • 2 dessert spoons tapioca flour 🍊🍊🍊 METHOD • Wash oranges and boil them whole for 1 hour 30 min until soft. Alternatively, microwave on ‘high’ for 5-7 min with some water. • Beat eggs with sugar, add orange blossom water, baking powder, almond flour and mix well. • Whizz the oranges with a whizzy stick till smooth. • Mix puréed oranges thoroughly with eggs and almond mixture, then pour into either a 23cm cake pan or divide between two ‘meatloaf’ baking forms, lined with baking paper. • Bake at 190C for 20 min, then at 150C for another 40 min. • Cool in the baking form before taking the cake out. • Decorate with orange syrup @bluefrogbreakfast , fresh slices of peeled tamarillos and bee pollen granules @jfriendandco 🍊🍊🍊 . . . #glutenfree #grainfree #orangealmondcake #culinarynutrition #eatrealfood #happyhormones #beautyfood #goodfoodgoodmood #balancedlife #healthyrecipes #functionalnutrition #nutritionbusiness
