As we are ending this Scorpio season, we are continuing to look into the depths, into our shadows, our beliefs and looking to uncover that which we wish to let go of. We get to let go and purge what no longer belongs to us, or what never belonged to us. Our soul and body is also letting go of things that are purging without our conscious consent. So body pains and triggers have been surfacing.

Stress and what that causes to the body can create problems and when we’re in a disharmony cycle, then we often don’t bring in the nourishment that we need with the spleen channel. Our spleen is very important, as it is the yin partner to the yang stomach channel energies.

Here's the biggest struggle I see with clients. Something changes where they go off of sugar, or off a medication, or they get off some food that was not good for them. And then they may have a shift in the body where something is out of sync for a moment.. sleep is off, they get sick, etc. And then they always point to the supplement or healthy food that's supporting them as the possible culprit when it is always the sugar, the medication change, the wifi and being on their screen too late before bed, etc. that's impacting them.

Along my journey of research and wanting to support a cause, I learned about the people of Guatemala who are some of the most malnourished people in the world. The main reason they are so malnourished is their primary food source is corn, and corn has no zinc; making it so they lack a vital mineral needed to fight disease. This story struck me deeper, as I have researched minerals to find what my clients need, and zinc in particular is one that is widely deficient in the US as well. Zinc has far reaching effects and deficiencies can even cause food cravings and weight gain. On a positive note, when we have sufficient amounts of zinc, it balances the blood sugar as well as it balances hormones in women.

I love chopping up these chioggia beets, they're always so beautiful and it makes the chopping that much more fun! 🍅I've been getting in lots more cooked veggies than raw with the changing season. 🥦What about you?😃 We’re approaching the autumn equinox, and a change in season brings in a change in our eating habits. We’ve been in Virgo season, which has everything to do with our habits and our health. 💪So I know you’ve been getting triggered around your health habits, and perhaps even changing some. But if you haven’t fully engaged, this is the time of year to do so, as we reach that balance point, the time of Libra season. 🌓✨

I love making my own muesli. And the reason I love to is that I can make it healthy, save money, and not have anything with added sugar in it to ruin it for me. It is unbelievably hard to find a healthy breakfast cereal, but this is it. And the small amount of time it takes me to make it every two weeks is worth it.
