Whole 30 Recipe // Grilled (Baked) Asparagus

Ok guys!! I'm back in the game! I have goals, I have a post schedule, and I have a killer grocery list all mapped out. I'm starting a new round of #whole30 Monday- and I want YOU to do it with me! I even have a vacation coming up and I'm sticking to whole30 through it all- I've had a verrrrrry relaxed diet the past month and I feel like garbage- so ready to do a reset- let's do this! First up: my absolute fave grilled veggie is asparagus- it's quick!! Toss in avocado oil & salt and bake at 425° for only 10 min- So easy!

Whole 30 Tip // Hard Baked Eggs

Even on weeks I prep nothing, I ALWAYS make hard baked eggs- they are so easy, and such good quick grab n' go protein. @jennaskitchen changed my boiling method last year and I haven't gone back! I place the eggs individually into a cupcake tin, no water or anything needed! Bake for 30 min at 325° and then put them immediately into a bowl of ice water afterward. They don't stink up your house like boiling, AND they peel off perfectly every time.

Whole 30 Tip // Snacks on the Go!

Sorry for the radio silence over here in the healthy eating community- but in reality I'm sure no one even noticed! Summer is CRAZY right?! I'm hardly ever cooking- always on the go! These nature box snacks are so good for a quick easy Whole 30 on the go option. These lemon pucker pistachios will make your heart sin!

Have you underestimated the power of massage?

There are many ways to nourish our body, and a massage is one of them.

Here is why a massage can be so beneficial and I think everyone should invest in one at least once per month - you are worth it!

• Can release a lot of stress
• Increases circulation
• Reduces blood pressure
• Can relieve of headaches and migraines
• Can help lympathic system circulation - releases toxins
• Boosts our immune system and helps our body to heal
• Can release energy blocks in the body - so then we crave less sugar and junk foods
• Relieves pain and muscle tension
• Improves mood so we can perform better at our mission
• We sleep better
• We feel like goddesses and kings 
• We get to feel every cell of our body - we become more aware of our body 
• We get to relax
• It helps everything flow and align better so we lose weight
• Our nervous system improves functioning
• Can help with depression, anxiety and addiction
• Can re-sculpt our body and straighten things that are out of alignment
• It is so so so refreshing!

Some doctors will prescribe you to get a massage as part of healing! When people hire me as their Health Coach, I always put in their program to invest in a massage at least once per month. It's about taking really good care of ourselves! Taking care of ourselves properly is the essential key in health and wellness.

On Thursday, I spent 2 hours of my day getting a massage! Who did my massage? I chose Seth who has been massaging my friend for 8 years and she always looked so light and refreshed after her treatment so I decided to give him a go! Seth has a super convenient massage at home service - so he came to me! He set up his table and put on some relaxing music. I turned my phone off to totally tune out and focus on my body. For New Yorkers - including Manhattan, Queens and Long Islanders you can also have Seth come to your home! Perfect for people with busy lifestyles!

I highly recommend Seth because of his home service, plus he has been doing this for 9 years, was born and raised in Long Island and became certified at New York College of Health Professions. Seth was telling me about an experiment they did, they went and massaged a swim team before a big race, and the swimmers felt so stretched and warmed up that they broke all kinds of records! I can relate to that as I looked so different before and after my massage, it was like 3 kilos of heaviness lifted from my body!

Seth's expertise is:

• Deep tissue
• Medical work - injuries
• Scar work - surgery 
• Swedish massage - relaxation
• Stretching
• Reiki  

If you do not live in New York, look up your local massage therapist who specializes in these types of massage.

Here is Seth's details, I am sure he would be happy to hear from you!

A massage protocol for obesity: 
My client Debbie (she started a blog www.EarthDietBlogs.com/DebbieSavesHerLife ) is getting a massage from Seth next week. Debbie is on a mission to transform her body, she has to lose excess weight or she will die - doctors say. She is challenged with obesity. So we have implemented a procedure for her next week that starts with a sauna, then body clay wrap and then massage. On Wednesday morning she will have a sauna and sweat as much as she can. Later on Wednesday afternoon make a huge batch of bentonite clay up and do a total body wrap. Then lie in the sun for 3-4 hours so the clay can draw out the toxins, and it will go hard and crack. People usually lose some weight from this clay experience! And then sleep really well that night, really sit with all the toxins she released that day in the sauna and the clay. Doing those two together is powerful because the sauna opens the sweat glands and allow toxins to come out, and then the clay penetrates deeper to remove more toxins. Then the next morning, Thursday morning, Debbie will get a massage for 2 hours. This massage will help move energy blocks and places where stress has accumulated. This massage will also help to sculpt her new body that she is wanting to achieve. These are ancient natural methods that are super powerful and help us stay healthy in today's world! Try this practice and let me know how you go!

So GO GET A MASSAGE, make it part of your healthy ritual and let me know about your experience!

115 days to book launch!
