This can happen so quickly in this work.
Drop your shoulders
Quiet your thoughts
Settle your nervous system
Trust your body
Listen.........
What is one way you can bring play, creativity and joy into your weekend?
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you love. It will not lead you astray.”

Protein is essential for bone and muscle health, both of which can decline with age. But the results of a new study say that “protein intake was significantly associated with higher odds of healthy aging.”
Plant-based protein was also associated with good mental health status and better physical function. This was based on data from 48,762 women younger than age 60 who participated in the Nurses’ Health Study.

💡Pro Health Tip |
There are a lot of “diets” and nutrition fads, but one thing that stays consistent across all healthy diets is an emphasis on avoiding foods that worsen inflammation and eating those that keep it in check.
That means avoiding foods like sugar, refined carbohydrates, fried foods, and trans fats and eating more fish, nuts, seeds, berries, and green leafy veggies.
Some call it the “anti-inflammatory diet!

🔍 Did You Know? |
If you are trying to figure out which foods your body loves and which might be triggering you, there are 2 main ways to to identify food sensitivities: the elimination-challenge diet and a blood test.
For the elimination-challenge diet, you remove all suspected foods until you feel better (minimum of 21 days, the life cycle of an antibody) and then reintroduce them one at a time to see which are problematic. The blood test looks to see if your body is creating antibodies to a long list of foods.
Combining these two methods gives us the best chance of uncovering trigger foods! I typically recommend an elimination food plan first because it decreases overall inflammation, while at the same time reduces potential trigger foods. If persistent symptoms or people hit barriers to healing we then consider the food sensitivity blood test.
Why not START with the blood test?
Because often times if a person is inflamed and their gut health is compromised they will react to a lot more foods. First reduce inflammation and support gut health, then we get a more accurate assessment of food sensitivities.
