This was the scene from a morning of juicing plenty of fresh organic goodness!
I mean sure - Celery juice is all the rage these days, but throw a bit of fresh ginger, lemon (with rind), parsley, and carrot in there and you'll be amping the medicinal benefit up even more!
Now don't get me wrong - I love a good smoothie because it includes all of the fiber and can be nicer in terms of blood sugar balance, but I've also really been enjoying incorporating juice into my morning routine lately along with fresh avocado on the side to keep my cells extra happy! 👯♀️ As many of you know, we recently discovered that we were exposed to high levels of mycotoxins that can be toxic to the kidneys, liver, spleen, and brain (Via mold in our home that the previous owners painted over 😲). Now that we've removed ourselves from the home while it is being remediated, we are proactively doing what we can to eliminate the toxicity from within. Part of our protocol involves juicing foods that can be particularly supportive to each organ. We'll also be using targeted supplements and binders, sauna therapy, stress management via #THELAST30, and an anti-inflammatory diet. Phew! We got this! 💪 [And for those of you guessing, here's a list of everything in the photo! Celery, carrot, cucumber, pear, lemon, ginger, dandelion greens, kale, parsley, asparagus 🌱] What about you? Do you like juicing or not so much? .

![I think we as a society have this almost "military" style way of looking at healthcare and it kind of freaks me out. 😳 Something is wrong and suddenly it means our body is the enemy. It's failing us. And so we declare war on our symptoms - We must blast it out, starve it out, radiate it out, cut it out. 😣 But the trillions of cells that make up YOU are truly only trying to take care of you.
And your body - This beautiful place that houses your very spirit - It also contains all the wisdom of the universe within every single cell. You're actually a living, breathing frickin' miracle, aren't you?✨ And what if these symptoms of dis-ease were just messengers? What if they were trying to tell you that maybe something was in it's way? Like perhaps we require a little more nourishment, or that we have too much stress on our plates, or that our environment is far too toxic for it to fully grow and express itself? What if we instead focused our attention on uncovering the CAUSE of those symptoms so we can eliminate THAT and then let all of those cells - the ones that love you unconditionally - to just do the damn thing, and heal? 👏
If you haven't done it in a while, why don't you take this post as a gentle nudge to look at your body with respect and appreciation today? Heck - Why not even THANK your body for bringing you to this point? If you've been feeling crappy for a while, just think about how you woke up this morning and didn't have to wonder whether you heart would be beating - And there it was, beating anyway. ♥️ Show gratitude to your cells, your lungs, your heart, and your immune system that has been rooting for you and cheering you on every step of the way. [BTW: Shout out to my immune system. You da real MVP! 🏆] Now repeat after me, ten times, with ten deep breaths: "I am thankful for my body and its ability to heal." ♥️ 🙏

![Did you know that we are beings of light? ☀️🌖 It's true! Our bodies run on a cycle with the Earth and the Sun, which is why we typically feel more awake during the day, and more tired at night. But this ebb and flow of sleepiness and wakefulness (also known as the circadian rhythm) also plays a role in regulating our mood, energy, skin health, digestive function, sex drive, fertility, and even our ability to maintain a healthy weight. Here's one more crazy fact for you: When our circadian rhythm is out of whack, it can even aggravate tumor growth! 😳 Oh - And BTW: It receives its messages from LIGHT. 💡☀️📳📺

Not only is this reason 1462 to aim for a consistent sleep & wake schedule all week long (I try to aim for a bedtime of 10pm & a wake-up time of 6am), but it's also a good reason to become more aware of how artificially your environment is lit. Do you find yourself peering into the screen of your cellphone just before bed? Do you often stay up late, burning the midnight oil on that work project or bingeing This is Us on Netflix? I feel you - And that used to be me, until I had my own health crisis. 😣 But hear me out: You may find yourself completely shocked at what shutting all screens OFF for an hour before bed can do for your ability to achieve a deep, restful sleep. 👏 My love: Do your brain, your gut, your skin, your hormones, your mood and your whole damn self a favour: HONOUR your sleep. 😴 Let me know in the comments: Do you honour your sleep or is this something you struggle with? Do you find yourself on your phone or computer late at night and if so, do you notice a difference in how you sleep from it? 👇 [And with that, I'm off to do #Thelast30 meditation challenge, read my book and hit the hay! Goodnight!].
