For all those who say you can’t do anything beca

For all those who say you can’t do anything because you have zero experience...this hole is for you 🥂
:
I have ZERO landscaping knowledge or experience but here I am putting in a little sweat equity and getting shit done. We’ve talked about getting our yard done since we moved into our house. That was 10 years ago. Having a house, working, raising kids and trying to keep your sanity as well as trying to live a healthy lifestyle takes a tremendous amount of time. So our yard took a backseat for years. Now, after experiencing life in the slow lane for the last few months I’ve had enough of waiting. 🤨
:
I’ve also learned that nothing will get done unless YOU put the work in. No matter how many pins you put on your Pinterest board of rocking a bikini bod with killer abs, or making your next DIY horn coat rack or even landscaping your yard, it’s all an aspiration. The difference between the idea is the action behind it.
:
No matter if it’s your diet, a project, a relationship or even future plans, it’s all worth nothing unless you start taking steps to getting it done. Action propels your ideas forward. Just like this hole I’ve been digging for the last few weeks. I’m putting in the work and I’m getting shit done. I may not know what I’m doing but my actions are what separates the doers from the dreamers ✅

Kalua Pig 🐷 : I dream of the day I can go back

Kalua Pig 🐷
:
I dream of the day I can go back to Hawaii and eat this beauty 😋
:
A traditional Kalua (to cook in an underground oven) uses an Imu (the underground stove). It’s amazing to see and I highly recommend it next time you’re in Hawaii 🏝Whenever that happens 😢
:
But still no signs of the Canadian/US border opening (now extended to August 21) and still no idea of what will happen in the next coming months. Anxiety for the unknown has started to creep up and if I’m being honest, moving to the woods and being a recluse is that much more appealing🤨
:
However, despite the worldwide shit show I am still maintaining my eating #habits. I will wait another few months to go in for blood work and get tested post 2 years of an all animal based diet. I have recently opted to stay clear of diary, which has been a huge benefit overall. I’m not one for “moderation” when it comes to any #diet as I know personally how powerful #foodaddiction is. So I take it upon myself, yup, me and me only, to dictate what I stay clear of. That’s the beauty of diet. You get to customize it even on the #carnivorediet. So what am I eating now?

🐂 #Beef makes up roughly 90% of my daily caloric intake
🐖 #Pork comes in second with 5%
🐓 Chicken is third at 3.5% which mainly includes eggs (gone down from 8 eggs a day to 2 a day)
☕️ My 1.5% is coffee

I do not intentionally fast. I eat twice a day (breakfast and dinner). I do not count calories, macros, or weigh my food. I do not weigh myself obsessively. I do not take ANY supplements. I do not take any medications either. I aim for 30 minutes of any type of physical movement daily. I sleep better than any hungover teenager. I do not get constipated or get diarrhea. I do not get muscle cramps. I do not sweat as much as I used to. I tan without burning even though I’m a white girl. I do not have adult acne. I do not crash after a big meal. I do not crave any sweets after being a closet pantry eater. I do not miss alcohol (although if I do I opt for vodka tonic).
:
All in all I’m doing pretty good for almost 40 🤗

Vitamin D 🌞 : I’ve talked about it before but

Vitamin D 🌞
:
I’ve talked about it before but I feel like the narrative should continue on the subject. 🧐
:
I live in the great white north. Even as a young adult I knew when the colder months hit I would get into a sluggish and lethargic state. But as soon as that sun shone even amidst -30 weather, my mood would quickly change. So what was is it about sunshine that makes people happy? Why are so many Canadians and northerners tempted to chase the sun and travel farther south every winter? 🏔
:
Biology dictates that sunshine has the greatest impact on Vitamin D production. Our body knows how and when to convert UV rays from the sun into fat-soluble vitamin D that is further absorbed by the liver and kidneys. Interestingly enough, vitamin D acts more of a hormone instead of a vitamin because of its effect on serotonin levels. Serotonin executes critical roles in the brain such as energy expenditure, sleep, mood and social cognition. Also dubbed “the happy hormone”. 😁
:
Besides sunshine, you can also get Vitamin D from food. Best sources? Fatty fish, eggs, roe and beef liver. The “other foods” as listed on many “nutritional” sites emphasize adding “vitamin D fortified” foods to your diet. What for? If they have to add an essential nutrient to your food it’s not food. It’s an additive that acts like food. Don’t buy into the hype. 🤭
:
Depression also has been linked to Vitamin D deficiency in numerous studies. Suicides, mental disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar and the list goes on. I have personally dealt with suicide and depression as a teenager and I often wonder if my #diet and environment played a role. Postpartum also affected be greatly with the birth of both of my children, although I was made to feel like it was “normal”. It wasn’t until I changed my diet and started looking at sunshine as a tool to combat my own mental health that I saw first hand the impact it can have. Not to mention Vitamin D’s role your immune system. But I’ll save that for another time...✌🏻

This here beauty was enjoyed by many while camping

This here beauty was enjoyed by many while camping off grid. How do we manage to travel and continue to eat like this? 🏕
:
We purchased our second @biggreenegg just so we could take it camping 🤣 That’s how much we love our meat and camping! This little guy delivers the same exceptional smoke as our big one at home. Despite being off grid with no running water and no electricity we still manage to eat like we would at home. The funny thing is it’s actually a lot easier to travel and sustain a #carnivore #diet because of it’s simplicity. Our trailer fridge packs enough meats, eggs and bacon to last over a week. Next month we head out for 2 weeks and I’m sure this guy will get some good use! 🥩

“They muddy the waters to make it seem deep” ~

“They muddy the waters to make it seem deep” ~ Fredrich Nietzsche

It has been a strange trip man. Last year I found myself dreaming of a better and brighter future for my career as well as for my family. We had major plans to do and see more of this world. I had made plans to expand my practice and start learning more. Knowledge is a powerful tool but I feel that knowledge has taken a back seat to fear. 🧐
:
There is no doubt that Covid exists. I’m not here to argue that fact. Even as a teenager and young adult I was ever one to follow trends or fit in with the cliques. I’ve always been an outsider and an observer. I’ve observed and made my decisions based of facts more than on emotion (although I am a woman with a vagina 🤭 so there’s that). In the beginning I watched and waited to see what would come of our current state of affairs. Nothing was certain and life seemed to monetarily stop spinning. There were days were I thought I was just stuck in a bad episode of Black Mirror. But three months down the road and still our borders remain closed, business’ are still not open, jobs are still hanging in the balance and our numbers have dropped. As of today, 9 are in ICU, 50 in hospital. 😏
:
So where does that leave us? Did social distancing work? Are masks as miraculous as everyone claims they are? What is the end game? 🤨

My kids learning the first rule of survivor. Food.

My kids learning the first rule of survivor. Food. 🍽
:
This was a powerful moment for my kids. They learned how to gut, clean and cook fish over a campfire. Things I wish they would teach kids at school. 💡
:
One of the benefits of having them at home means that we as parents get to decide what they learn. We chose to focus our energies on teaching them basic life skills. Something my own parents taught me growing up. You can read all the books, the research papers, the facts, study the diagrams. But if you can’t feed or shelter yourself. You’re fu$ked. 😏
:
Kids need to know where their food comes from and what it’s made of. That’s how I was raised with a father who hunted and fished. I spent my younger years eating moose, deer, elk and all sorts of fish. Grew up with roosters and chickens outside my window. Bear rugs and antlers on the walls. I now cherish those years as one of the fondest memories of my childhood. I only wish the same for my kids. 🤗
:
Will these kids ever have to hunt for their food? Probably not. But at least now they know they could if it ever came down to it. Now they know food doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive. It just has to nurture and satiate. I’m proud of these kids. I’m proud that they weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty and explore the inside of a fish. It was amusing to watch at first and they needed some guidance but they learned a valuable life lesson that day. How many of our kid’s or even adults can say the same? 😶
:
I would get so excited when moose was on the dinner table, by far my favourite cut of meat. I might consider getting my hunting license this year. I’ve been meaning to get out with my dad before it becomes too late. I think this might be the year. ♥️

Here’s the truth 📢 : Start taking some accoun

Here’s the truth 📢
:
Start taking some accountability for your life choices 💭
:
Don’t blame your parents cause you can’t keep a job. Don’t blame your teachers because you can’t get a job. Don’t blame your genetics on your lifestyle. Don’t blame the pandemic on your lack of motivation. Don’t blame the cows for the decline in our environment. And sure as shit don’t blame me because you can’t find a magic solution to your pain 🤨
:
If you are unable to see the correlation between your pain and the circumference of your abdomen or your shitty food choices and binge drinking on your lack of weight loss, my table is not a place you want to visit. Over the last 15 years I have worked with thousands of bodies in all shapes and sizes as well as different shades. The one thing the majority has in common? They don’t want to put the work in but would prefer to sit on the couch and wait for a pill. Maybe one that comes in the shape of a taco? Or maybe one that smells like cotton candy? It’s quite simple really. Your back pain will not resolve when you come to me. It may feel good momentarily but it will be back unless you make the effort to change your choices. Do I believe diet has a direct effect on your pain and mobility? 100 % Can you heal in a congested and overwhelmed environment? Highly unlikely. Unless you learn that your body can only heal from the inside, system by system, my treatments will only mask your symptoms. You cannot heal in the same environment you got sick 😷
:
Start challenging the status quo when it comes to your health. Is it really healthcare when we aren’t treating the root cause of disease but only masking it’s symptoms? Start questioning why and start looking for answers for yourself. Learn and educate and keep learning. Never be the smartest in the room for you’ll learn nothing that way ✌🏻

Beef 🥩 : Just a little update on what’s been

Beef 🥩
:
Just a little update on what’s been happening the last few weeks in case anyone cares 🤨
:
I started back at work on Monday. To be honest, it’s a little bittersweet as I had some pretty killer plans for the summer 🥺 That aside, I was actually very happy to go back to work and get my hands on people again. No social distancing for me so before you get judgy check yourself at the door🚪
:
Second, I’m 17 days into a beef and water only experiment. Beef for breakfast and beef for dinner. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been hard. I miss my bacon and eggs, my fish, my chicken wings and my cheese. (I’ve also dropped to one cup of coffee.) However, I have noticed a significant change in my body composition. My visceral fat for one has decreased ⬇️ and my bloating in the evenings has disappeared entirely. I feel lighter on my feet (probably cause I’ve dropped almost 10lbs) and I sleep longer hours 💤
:
So, what does all this mean? It’s interesting to see that I can survive on beef and beef only. Cows can turn grass and leaves into a digestible protein for humans. Fucking amazing if you ask me. Not to mention a 4oz steak can provide me with more than half of daily recommendations of selenium and zinc. I love these cows ❤️
:
My two year lab results will be up in July once things settle down a little so that will be also be interesting to see. What will my beef and water show? Find out in due time ✌🏻

Well it’s be a crazy three months but imma comin

Well it’s be a crazy three months but imma coming back 🥳
:
Monday June 15th would have been three months exactly when I had to walk out my clinic and close up shop. Honestly, three months feels like a small blimp on the radar and I’m coming back stronger than before 💪🏼
:
Not just physically, which I’m excited cause I’ve gained a hella muscle but also mentally. I’ve had a lot of time to regroup and focus on what matters to me in my practice. So what does that mean? 📌 That means delivering exceptional service to my clients. This will not be altered due to new protocols placed forth upon the clinic. I may look a little different when you see me but I guarantee you, you will never walk away disappointed 📌 My clients safety has always been upfront in my practice pre-COVID and will continue to be so long after. Hygiene you say? Always has and will continue to be of great importance. If you work with clients and don’t wash you’re hands your disgusting 📌 Health. We are all in charge of our own health. That has always been a message I have conveyed to all my clients. I can help with the external aches and pains, the discomforts and the injuries, but I cannot take responsibility for your internal health. The only way you can keep yourself healthy is to make sure your immune system has a fighting chance of combating anything you come in contact with. Plain and simple. 🤔

Massage and ART®️ are back in business ‼️ Seriously though, I know you’ve missed me 😉
