A tasty staple that I make weekly – properly-prepared in the tradition of our wise & wild ancestors – soaked or fermented for better digestion and nutrient absorption. Sally Fallon explains in her Nourishing Traditions cookbook the importance of soaking or fermenting all your grains, “…all grains contain phytic acid in the outer layer or […]

This is a simple, yet super tasty and hearty bread. Topped with a drizzle of honey makes for a sweet treat. When I first made it, hubby asked for another piece right away, saying, “It’s like liquid candy.” Great also topped with yogurt cheese or warmed with a pat of butter. The overnight soaking in […]

If you need some variety in your work out, go primitive. Our ancestors were fit without any fancy equipment. They moved in a way that supported their lives, gave them the strength and mobility they needed to survive and thrive.

Another simple and delicious recipe from my Leading Lady Reset Cleanse. Tastes like I’m eating dessert for breakfast. For convenience, I prepare my nuts and seeds before bed (see below). So good, nutritious, and a great way to energize your morning. Prep: Soak sunflower seeds and sliced almonds overnight in enough filtered water to cover. […]

I was so frustrated! I was working out and kept having to adjust my workout pants so I wouldn’t share my “plumber’s butt” with everyone while doing squats. After my workout I went into the bathroom and realized why. My work out pants were too big! I hadn’t weighed myself in a couple of weeks […]
