Gratitude to cause health - write down 50 things you are grateful for

Dr Bruce Lipton is just one of the scientists and doctors who agree that when we are in a space of gratitude, our bodies are much healthier, as the cells are bathed in positivity. This morning I woke up in a bit of a funk, and didn't feel good. I don't like staying in this space for too long, so I want to get out of it! I had a green juice, and made a cashew cheesecake with a cherry twist! Doing those certainly made me feel better. So now I want to enhance it with writing a list of 50 things I am grateful for, perhaps the first 50 that come to mind.

Whole30 Recipe // Capocallo Wrapped Asparagus


Capocallo wrapped asparagus. I started crying at the grocery store today, I'm not a Whole30 rookie this is my 3rd full round but today was ROUGH -last night I went to a work dinner and passed on the chips & salsa and all you can drink diet coke fest. This morning I took my kids for donuts and didn't have any, we took the kids out for movies and treats tonight and I didn't have any and I've had an incredibly stressful day. I just really wanted a diet coke and cadbury eggs because I thought it would make me feel better. But it doesn't, it never does and I just have to get over the fact that I will probably be fighting these food addictions my whole life. I need to be stronger than that and solve these issues I seem to only fix with food. I held strong but I'm hoping for some umph tomorrow because I'm feeling burned out.

What I know about Abdominal aortic aneurysm!

What I know about Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, also known as AAA is that the body is inflamed. So to treat it, ASAP with anti inflammation diet. No more junk foods immediately, no sugar, no salt, no processed foods. Swelling can go down immediately with consuming a lot of nutrition, nutrients, vitamins, minerals, plants, greens, whole foods! 

Try green juice, 
Berry smoothie
Herbal tea 
And raw chocolate!!! 

Recipes free to download and print from website! And also 100's of recipes in my new book! 

Do more research on it if you want! Keep the body healthy so that you don't go through these health issues! 

Love Liana

Whole30 Tip // Hard Boiled Egg Storage


I swear I need 2 fridges and a spice cabinet, pantries psh! not on Whole30. I have to save space in my bursting fridge so I keep fresh and hard boiled eggs in the same container, I just mark an x on the "not boiled" ones so I know the difference. 

Whole30 Tip // Dried Peaches


These peaches were dehydrated months ago and still taste amazing! I want to try using the food dehydrator even more this summer, suggestions?!
