Got friendly smoothie! Super yummy! Don’t cut the ginger out because it makes the smoothie!

I roasted these up last week and it lasted for leftovers a number of days. It’s so nice to have leftovers when you don’t have energy to make a whole meal every time!

Breakfast! Cottage cheese, egg, sweet potato, spinach, blackberries

Naan homemade pizza. I did not make the naan. I feel like pizza places never put enough veggies and toppings on it! So I did it myself. So yummy. Added garlic olive oil to it, too!

High protein overnight oats!

I wish eggs didn’t cost so much. Aldi’s pasture raised eggs went up a dollar.

Yummy breakfast

Wild caught salmon for the win!

Quick and easy breakfast: Greek yogurt, berries, nuts. I prefer yogurt with some fat in it to stay fuller longer. Super yummy.

4 tips for getting movement practice in: 1. Change the word “exercise” to movement. 2. Movement is medicine, movement = longevity 3. Don’t compare yourself to others or your past self. 4. Do movement you enjoy!

Quick and easy lunch with protein, fat, and fiber: salmon salad

If nothing changes, nothing changes. What would happen if you never make any changes for personal growth and health? What happens if we stay the same instead of listening to our bodies as we grow and experiencing the world as we evolve?

Simple and quick breakfast with protein, fat, and fiber. Add salt for us dysautonomia peeps

Healthy easy breakfast ideas

Egg breakfast wrap with avocado and oranges 🍊 for breakfast! Protein, fat, fiber 💪🏻

I like to bake wild caught Alaskan salmon for lunch sometimes with a salad. Doesn’t spike my HR and fills me up for a while. Protein, fat, and fiber! Great for your brain and gut.

House work can count as exercise and activity. Especially when you have chronic illness. Don’t worry too much about what you’re getting done. Just do what you can when you can.

Buckwheat breakfast bowl: buckwheat, Greek yogurt, blueberries, hemp seed, ground flax seed, sunflower butter. Filling and with protein, fat, and fiber. ❤️‍🩹

My husband likes bar food. But we make it our own better way. It’s healthier when you make it at home. I made a Bunless burger! Grass fed beef and cheese, onions, lettuce, pickles, mustard and ketchup! Just cut up the burger and put it all together! It’s filling and tasty. He also makes baked wings.

Brain health smoothie!

Savory buckwheat breakfast: sauté onions, mushrooms, garlic powder, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, spinach. Cook buckwheat while that’s cooking. Then add it all together. Add a fried egg on top. Yum! 🧅🍄‍🟫🥬🍳🧄🌶️

Ginger cinnamon tea for gut health and anti-Inflammatory: slice up 2 inches of fresh ginger root, a small cinnamon stick, and boil in water for 10 min. Pour tea through a sieve into cup. Add lemon and honey if you wish. 😊

“Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible in us be found.” Pema Chödrön This has been a favorite quote of mine for 17 years.

A great overnight oats I made had: Oats, almond milk, chia seed, ground flax seed, protein powder, almond extract, honey. And added blueberries. Super yummy.

Vitamin D3. Make sure you take some especially in the winter. Boosts mood, immune system, bone health, etc. If you are prone to seasonal depression, take that vitamin D! Also you can get vitamin d in foods. Here they are:

When you start to get down on yourself and depressed, just start naming all your strengths. Name all the things you love. This won’t cure it but it will change your thoughts. 💭 ❤️‍🩹

Have you hydrated today? I drink lots of electrolytes and also drink lemon water. Keep your heart and organs healthy! Try filling up your water bottle and see if you can get to 60-80oz of water depending on your body. 💦

An inexpensive way to get your iron, protein, an many other vitamins and minerals is eating lentils! I like to eat quinoa with green lentils and add tomatoes, feta, garlic infused olive oil, balsamic, and salt. Fast and simple. And it helps balance blood sugar as well.

Great sources of iron in a dish I want to make: chickpea curry with sweet potatoes, chicken, spinach, onion, garlic, turmeric, cumin, cream/alt milk, cilantro… great for winter meals! It’s important to eat as nutrient dense as possible with chronic illness when you can.

Everyone will need their own unique diet. There’s no one way to eat. Trial and error, trying things and eliminating things. Balancing blood sugar and getting enough protein and healthy fats is a good way to start. & with Dysautonomia, make sure to hydrate and get your salt and potassium!

Baking some eggs in muffin tins for breakfast. I added feta a spinach. It’s a nice way to throw it together then lie back down and wait! Nice source of protein and fat! I add extra salt for Dysautonomia! What kinds of egg dishes do you like?

Dysautonomia folks, I hear some people drink pickle juice. I am supposed to greatly increase my salt for OH. But I feel like I would not be able to drink it… it’s so intense! How do you do it!?

Any little bit of movement counts as exercise. Even house work or walking around your home. With chronic illness anything counts. Just do your best. Don’t compare to others or your past self if that applies. Give yourself some compassion. It’s hard to manage illness/disability. You’re doing ok!

I love a good fresh crunch of celery and hummus. It’s so crisp and cool. Celery is excellent for your bones. Loaded with antioxidants! What snack do you like? I add salt to my hummus since I have dysautonomia. All the salt!

I made some turkey tacos with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. We were lucky to get a pasture raised turkey. Hope you all were able to eat without any issues this holiday weekend.

People act like being disabled means you spend all day chilling. Many of us are trying to hold ourselves together with tape & glue. We work hard to hang onto our baseline & exist in a world not meant for us. It’s the opposite of chill & relaxing. We are fighting for survival.

It’s shocking how many people are pro bodily autonomy when it’s THEIR body - but not when it’s someone else’s. Many are still angry about mask mandates & see them as an egregious violation of their rights - but they support mask AND abortion bans. Forced infection & pregnancy is NOT a violation?

My breakfast today was Greek yogurt, half banana, almonds, and unflavored collagen powder mixed in. Healthy fat, protein, fiber! I don’t eat a lot at once so I space out my protein needs throughout the day. This is better for people with certain health conditions.

Healthy eating for me tonight! Simple easy and quick. What kinds of simple meals do you like? #chronicillness

Simple nutrient rich dinner: purple rice, roasted Brussels sprouts, ground turkey. Use olive oil for sprouts, avocado oil to cook turkey. Salt/pepper/etc. Sprinkle Parmesan at the end! Use a seat like me in the kitchen if you have a #disability #healthcoach

My horizontal pedaling setup for orthostatic intolerance! I put weights on it so it stays put. This is great for dysautonomia or other issues if you need to lie down while doing gentle exercise. Let me know if you want to know where I got it from! #orthostaticintolerance
