Many of us are used to thinking about diets as something we do short-term without much enjoyment, but I designed the Pegan Diet not to be something we go “on” and “off” of -- The Pegan Diet is rather a way of life.
The goal is not to be perfect, but to follow a simple set of principles that can help us stay healthy. It’s about doing your best and letting go of food stress and anxiety.
I want you to eat real, whole foods. Sometimes that means following a recipe, and other times that means using what you have to make what you can. As you become more familiar with the Pegan Diet, shopping for the right foods and creating your own healthy meals will become second nature.
Remember, that true health isn’t just about losing a few pounds or about the absence of chronic disease, it’s about feeling good, showing up, and giving your highest gifts to the world.

There is so much focus on the state of our metabolic health, and with good reason. Metabolic health includes things like body weight, blood sugar, blood pressure, lipid profiles, and other metrics. Keeping these metabolic markers optimized is central to reducing risk for things like coronary heart disease, Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and many other chronic degenerative conditions.
Eggs offer up advantages related to our metabolic health and are an excellent source of key things our bodies can use, including cholesterol, protein, choline, and micronutrients. Eggs are also on THE LUV DIET, meaning they don’t threaten uric acid levels. Good to know since elevated uric acid is a powerful contributor to metabolic mayhem.

BHA, more formally known as butylated hydroxyanisole, is added to many foods as a preservative in flavoring. But that long-lasting flavor has also been identified as a possible human carcinogen. Learn more at https://bit.ly/3de7Wgt.

Just a reminder!!
Mother Nature has a plan & she’s smarter than us!
This time of year we always feel compelled to make our yards & lawns look “tidy”. We get that one last mow in, or we rake up those leaves into bags or burn piles. Sadly we are doing more harm than good!
So….?
Try skipping those boring chores this year!
(Woo hoo! 🤗)
Let nature do what she does best! Let her nurture the plants and animals through fall & winter. I promise you that soon the snow will cover up your “untidy” yard & hide things until it melts in the spring. Then after a few spring weeks, what’s left of those yucky leaves will naturally be mulched back into your soil & your yard will be a healthier & stronger ecosystem next year for all who live there!❤️

Some of my tips and tricks for relieving your spring allergies🌸
05/11/2022
Do you think over-the-counter medication is the only solution to treating your seasonal allergies? Let me introduce 4 foods to you that may help alleviate your symptoms.
Ginger
Many uncomfortable allergy symptoms are caused by inflammatory issues, such as swelling and irritation in the nasal passages, eyes, and throat.
Ginger's antioxidative and antiinflammatory properties help calm down the inflammation and alleviate those symptoms.
Citrus fruits
citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, sweet peppers, and berries have a high amount of vitamin C. Foods high in vitamin C have been shown to decrease the irritation of the upper respiratory system which is typically caused by pollen.
Turmeric
Similar to ginger, turmeric is also a powerful anti-inflammatory food which helps reduce symptoms of many inflammation-driven diseases such as seasonal allergies.
Onions
Onions are an excellent natural source of quercetin, a bioflavonoid that acts as a natural antihistamine, reducing the symptoms of seasonal allergies.

Every year, the Environmental Working Group ranks the pesticides contamination of popular fruits and vegetables. The clean fifteen have the lowest amount of pesticides while the dirty dozen have the highest.
This is not to say that you shouldn’t eat any of the dirty dozen but make sure to wash, clean, and peel them properly before eating, and if possible, get them organic.

When my patients are struggling with losing weight but doing their diet and exercise right, they usually have insulin resistance.
So what is insulin resistance?
Insulin is a hormone that allows sugar from the blood to enter your cells so it can be used for energy. Insulin resistance happens when your cells don’t respond well to insulin so they can’t take up sugar from the blood.
What causes insulin resistance?
Besides generic factors, the main causes of insulin resistance are:
🟠Obesity (especially fat around the belly)
🟠Inactive lifestyle
🟠Diet high in carbohydrates
How can you fix it?
When treating patients with insulin resistance I always take a personalized approach after running some bloodwork to make sure that their treatment plan is customized to address their specific concerns. You can also try these lifestyle changes to make some improvements in your insulin resistance:
🟠Exercise (high intensity)
🟠Cut down on carbs and sugar
🟠Intermittent fasting
🟠Reduce stress
If you think you are struggling insulin resistance and feel you’re ready to start living your best life, book a complimentary 15-minute appointment with me!
