WELL now I’m really telling all 😭 here are so

WELL now I’m really telling all 😭 here are some graphics to go along with today’s podcast episode (so you can see what not to do, and how “work” can be really subtle and natural). ⁣
⁣
My goal for this episode is to be open and transparent about a subject that is so taboo and that so many people lie about. We all know I am NOT a doctor or medical professional and am not an authority on this; I am simply sharing my experience so please consult with someone reputable and credentialed if you want to discuss these procedures further. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣
As you can see 🙈 filler is not always the answer. YIKES. As you will hear in the episode, threads aren’t the answer. And neither are invasive procedures. As I stress in this episode, if you’re in your 20’s just take good care of your skin/body. There are lots of natural options too. ⁣
⁣
Did you listen? Do you have your own experience with this? I’d love to hear your thoughts 💖

People ask me ALL THE TIME what some healthy snack

People ask me ALL THE TIME what some healthy snacks are and honestly, my opinion is that you can’t go wrong with just real food. I love:⁣
⁣⁣
🌰 nuts & seeds⁣⁣
🍑 fruits⁣⁣
🥕 veggies (cooked)⁣⁣
🥥 coconut yogurt ⁣
🍫 and the occasional protein bar (I have had a long love affair with @bulletproof bars, and like @vitalproteins collagen bars and @larabar ) ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But now, with some suspected hormone/adrenal issues going on, I’m being especially careful of sugars so as not to spike my blood sugar. For more substantial snacks to keep me stable I’ve been loving things like my seed crackers (from TBF eats 2) with avocado, nut butter or leftover salmon, newly discovered @twenty_five_eight seed bread and @orgafoods seed crackers with toppings. Having a higher fat snack & lots of water throughout the day, including about 40oz before I even drink my matcha, is a game changer in terms of feeling consistent and energetic throughout the day.⁣⁣

Are you a snacker? What are your go-to’s ? xx⁣⁣

The only way I could ever eat “one serving” of

The only way I could ever eat “one serving” of trail mix 👆🏽 you feel me? Like what is that 1/4 cup business? I want the whole bag 😆🙄 ⁣
⁣
⁣
I could seriously live off trail mix - it’s always been my favorite thing ever - so of course I had to make a trail mixy cookie! 🍪 these were totally random but came out soo well! Maybe I’ll try a non chocolate version next — would you be interested? 🧐⁣
⁣
INGREDIENTS:⁣
⁣
1 1/4 cups almond flour⁣
2 tbsp coconut flour⁣
2/3 cup maple syrup ⁣
1/3 cup cocoa powder⁣
1/4 tsp baking soda⁣
1/3 cup coconut oil ⁣
1 tbsp arrowroot flour (optional but helps with binding & chewiness)⁣
1 tsp vanilla⁣
1 egg⁣
pinch of salt⁣
⁣
TRAIL MIX:⁣
⁣
I used walnuts, macadamias and rawmio trail mix chocolate bar but you can use any mix of dried fruit and nuts ⁣
⁣
DIRECTIONS:⁣
⁣
Preheat oven to 350 Fahrenheit⁣
Combine all dry ingredients first, making sure there are no clumps⁣
Add egg, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla; mix until smooth⁣
Fold in desired fillings/toppings (I prefer mine loaded up!)⁣
Scoop dough into a lined baking sheet, pressing down so they are about 1/2 inch thick ⁣
Bake for about 15 minutes - use a knife to test the middle for consistency⁣
*I add extra chocolate at the last minute because I like some of it to just barely melt ⁣
Add some salt flakes on top ⁣
Remove, let cool & enjoy!

6 years ago, after a long hard week (of not doing very much), I’d unwind with a few bottles of wine & some narcotics. Now - I bake! 👩🏼‍🍳 ⁣

If all goes well tonight 😆 I’ll be 6 YEARS sober tomorrow. What a life ✨ if I can do it, anybody can 💖#wedorecover
