    The Plant-Based Cookbook for Women

    Jan 12, 2021 • Hormones

    EEK! It’s finally here! The Plant Based Cookbook for Women is out in the world and I couldn’t be happier!

    >>> Check out my instagram video I made chatting all about this cookbook!

    ORDER THE COOKBOOK HERE!

    This cookbook is all about balancing your hormones and increasing energy naturally with delicious vegan and gluten-free recipes that were created to support each phase of your cycle.

    It features 80+ vegan and gluten recipes with nutrients and ingredients that will help you look and feel your best at any time of the month. Women’s physical and emotional needs fluctuate as they flow through their hormonal cycle. That’s why this specialty cookbook provides nutritious and delicious meals for each of your body’s four phases (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal) so you can make sure you get the nutrients you need to improve your hormonal function and overall health.

    Whether you are seeking a fertility diet or aiming to achieve natural hormone balance, The Plant-Based Cookbook for Women gives you the tools and information you need to eat healthier and improve your quality of life starting today.

    I also did two IG LIVE videos sharing some recipes for a sneak peek! In the first live video we made this Vegan Tortilla and Mozzarella Cream Pizza and in the 2nd live video we made Healthy Snickers Bites. You’ll have to buy the book to see the rest of the yumminess!

    Some of the recipes include:
    Breakfast: Blackberry Compote Chocolate Oatmeal and Sweet Potato Pancakes
    Lunch: Crunchy Spring Roll in a Bowl and “Cheesy” Bean and Veggie Quesadillas
    Dinner: Spicy Kung Pao Beets and Chickpea Pot Pie Soup
    Snacks: Pumpkin Hummus and Superfood Snack Bars
    Desserts: Banana Bonbons and Pineapple Green Juice Ice Pops

    *Note: While the recipes in this book were created with women in mind, they include all-natural ingredients that are healthy for everyone, regardless of age and gender!

      For those of you with parasitic worms, please make sure you deworm your pet often. IF we have them, our pets surely do and we will keep getting them back if we don’t also deworm them. There are a lot of ineffective dewormers for pets. I would have thought my pets were clean if I did not try different ones, The ones I found that work best for dogs over the counter on Amazon is Pet Armour Plus 7 way dewormer. Also for cats Revolution Plus is a tick, flea and parasite topical you put on the back of their neck. Petshed.com Sorry guys, but you gotta spend a good bit of money and time on this for your pets to keep them and yourself free of parasites. It is a bigger commitment having pets than we often think.

    I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and ca I’m so proud of The Happy Hormone Tracker and can’t stop staring at it! 🤩 here is what the inside pages look like. there is also a weekly reflection page that you’ll fill out after each week! you’ll be tracking month and day, cycle day, moon phase, cervical mucus, bleeding or spotting, symptoms, ovulation, pain/cysts and basal body temperature, digestion, overall mood, stress level, libido, sleep quality, supplements, nourishing foods, cravings, movement and lastly workflow or motivation! tracking these things will help you notice patterns. like for instance after ovulation, my mood is super low for a couple days due to the shift in hormones. so I can plan accordingly and know what’s coming! 

what about this tracker makes you excited?! I want to hear your thoughts!! you can preorder The Happy Hormone Tracker on amazon or wherever books are sold! Release date is October 20th 🩸

my latest crunchy craving! it comes together in 5 minutes and is sugar free. I know it’s super simple but I still think it deserves to live on the blog! I love snacking on it, serving it on crackers or using as a side/appetizer. so much refreshing crunch and salty, vinegar-y taste 🥒🥒🥒 new on the blog >> theglowingfridge.com // link in bio // #plantpowered
    now that I’m studying to become a integrative he now that I’m studying to become a integrative health practitioner, I’ve realized to a greater extent how one way of eating may not be perfect for everyone. how being strictly #plantbased isn’t a top priority for everyone. how different we really are. I’ve recently come to accept this, even though I will promote plant based until the day I die. my feelings have evolved over time. I used to be more pushy and believe my way of eating was the only way! but the reality is, there is no one diet and it’s infuriating when doctors push one diet only! its what works for YOUR body and it can change over time (depending on many factors). while this may upset some people, this will be apart of my job. as a practitioner I will have to meet people where they are at and guide them with an open mind. I can’t assume or expect that everyone will want to be plant based tomorrow! while I can always promote “the more plant foods the better” type of mentality (and I promise you, I will!) there is something called bio-individuality, meaning “there is not a one-size-fits-all diet, each person is a unique individual with highly individualized nutritional requirements”. what I will also promote is intuitive eating and really tuning into what your body wants and needs, and allowing that intuition to sharpen and grow (and hopefully it leads to more plants 🌱😬). doing this takes so much practice… to trust what your body is telling you is hard and confusing in the beginning. I think the change for me was allowing what I wanted to eat at first and it slowly evolved to wanting to choose healthier options because I felt better that way, but also knowing when I need vegan mac and cheese or french fries or ice cream and not making a big deal out of it. and not labeling any food as “bad” but rather just “food”. this didn’t happen overnight though! tell me below - how have you become more intuitive with eating habits? how do you tune in? photo by @sarahiltonphotography & I put a little filter on it 💗 #intuitiveeating
    DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total c DETOX: in order to detox and not feel like total crap, it’s essential to open up your drainage pathways first. although not glamorous to talk about, this is the most important step for any health protocol. setting the foundation… just like building a house. there are no quick fixes in detoxing! for example: you don’t want to jump into a parasite cleanse but have your detox pathways blocked… this includes making sure you are peeing, pooping, sweating and moving your lymph every single day. and when I say pooping, I mean 1-3 times per day. ideally 2-3 or after large meals. if you are constipated while killing off parasites, you are not going to feel good at all because they need to be eliminated quickly and if not, the pathogens/toxins they release can get re-circulated in the body. take it from me because I didn’t know about any of this while doing a parasite cleanse… I was bed ridden, had fevers, my face broke out, I was puffy and bloated. this was not fun at all! ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
>> So how do you open up your drainage pathways (and keep them open)? ⁣⠀
• proper hydration, ideally with mineral drops⁣⠀
• daily movement to break a sweat (I love using my @higherdose sauna blanket in addition to movement)⁣⠀
• balanced whole food diet: lots of veggies and fruit, fiber from real food, nothing processed, no refined sugar⁣⠀
• bowel moving herbs if you are consipated (bowel mover from Microbe Formulas), coffee enemas, tudca (to keep bile moving, liver support) and include a binder if you use any of these (I like bioactive carbon binders from Microbe Formulas)⁣⠀
- clean products: beauty, skincare, cleaning, etc⁣⠀
- air quality: open the windows, get a @airdoctorpro air filter, plants⁣⠀
- proper sleep: 7-8 hours⁣⠀
- healthy mind: mediation, yoga, breath work⠀
⠀
I hope you find this helpful! Let me know if you have questions below! #detoxprotocol #drainagepathways
