Your inner kingdom, your microbiome, your gut symbiosis, these are all different words for the same thing. How healthy your inner world is depicts what shows up health wise in your outer world.

I’m sure you’ve been told more than once to eat your leafy greens.

From kale to spinach and every green in between, we know that leafy green vegetables are an abundant source of vitamins, minerals and other unique nutrients like chlorophyll. In fact, they’re probably one of the most concentrated sources of nutrients you can find. One cup of cooked greens provides nine times the required daily intake of vitamin K. Vitamin K helps prevent blood clots, lubricates the joints and even reduces inflammation.

What do you do when all you want is a taco but you know it won’t help you get healthy? You eat one of these tasty Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps! These are a perfectly satisfying comfort food loaded with flavourful and filling chicken.  Its even kids approved!

You don’t need to sacrifice your health to eat delicious food, you just need to get creative. Make lettuce wraps your new best friend, they’re versatile and you can fill a nice leaf of lettuce with whatever you fancy from chicken to shrimp  or even tempeh, whatever you fill it with, there’s just something about eating a wrap that screams comfort and indulgence.  Remember to source your meat locally or wild and if that isn't an option, make certain it is hormone & antibiotic free.

Did you know that minerals neutralize acids?  This is why I always focus on building your mineral reserves before doing all the other things you need to do to heal our gut.  You need to be able to absorb the nutrients from your food!   This stockpile of minerals within you is the buffering system for your body, which allows the fluids of your body to get to the proper pH without having to strip minerals from the biggest source available...your bones!!!  Over time, people with a highly acidic overall pH often experience osteoporosis or osteopenia.
