EAT WELL
I strongly believe there is no ONE nutrition plan that works for everyone. There is so much confusion surrounding what we should be eating. When you’re feeling unsure if you should eat something or not, the question you need to ask yourself is:
“Is what I am eating a nutrient-dense, whole food?”
We will take a deeper dive into many of the topics that create food confusion. These will include:
Nutrient Density
Food Psychology and calming practices around food
Intuitive Eating Tips
Macro and Micronutrients
Nature’s Superfoods
Food combining
Making Vegetables the STAR
Gut health
What’s right for YOUR body (Paleo/Whole 30, low carb/keto, low fat, vegetarian/vegan, and macro counting)
Micronutrients
Dairy & Grains
And, of course, I will share some favorite healthy recipes!
Most importantly, know there is no one-size-fits-all approach to YOUR nutrition. We have different genes, different gene expression, different lifestyles, health issues, activity levels, and goals. All of these elements influence what an optimal approach might be, and these factors change over time. The only way to truly know what is best for you is experimentation. We will cover how to go about doing finding your optimal nutrition and offer you support and tips to make nutrition less overwhelming.
TRUTH: I STILL get overwhelmed by nutrition too, the constant evolution of science surrounding food, and I study this stuff. I get stressed and grab a cookie. Making ourselves aware of our habits is one step in moving closer to healthier eating. But a cookie now and then is what makes life more fun! We will find the balance between what nourishes your body, and what feeds your soul.
New Mexican Green Chile Fish
New Mexicans looooove their green chiles! And I’m here for it. Bigtime. Good news, the new house we moved into has a “Green Chile Bible.” I haven’t found the chapter on Jesus and the green chiles, but I’m still in the Old Testament, so… The recipes listed are simple. I find you don’t need to do a whole lot to jazz up green chiles. The “bible” calls for cracker crumbs, but I think we all have evolved a bit since the days of Ezekiel, so I went for an upgrade and used GF breadcrumbs.
Super Delicious Six-Minute Salmon
Here’s my favorite feel-good, lunch in a hurry, hot-cooked salmon special. Those Butcher Box salmon fillets come individually packed, which makes them crazy convenient. I take one out in the morning, and by lunch time she’s screaming, “sear me, Dodi!” And I obey.
A little salt and pepper, three minutes each side in a little oil, plated with veggies or salad, and BOOM! Lunch (or dinner) is served! Let me know if you grab this six-minute lunch special AND how much you loved it!!
