I'm so glad you think so. That's exactly how I experience her too.

I think bread would be in the same category as sugar for some of us. It's so sad to realize that a huge portion of mental health issues is simply blood sugar problems. I've suffered with anxiety for many many years and it is profound how much different I feel when my blood sugar is stable.

Yay. Thank you for bringing the essential oil question to the table, Louis! 😢 Sad to hear but grateful to know. ❤ Ammonia....😮 I wonder if that's the same mechanism that makes my #2 smell like nailpolish when I used to drink alcohol heavily.

I bet!

This was so encouraging for the holidays- a "fun downer" indeed! I believe this has been my healthiest holiday season yet bc my decisions around food are coming from a place of loving intention, rather than anxiety. Your work has helped me get here, Luis! Warmest holiday wishes to you and your family ❤

"Eating this way is an inner trauma." Straight up. Such important truths and work. Thanks to both of you.

How is a woman of Christian faith condemning fruit? (Fruit = simple sugars fructose + glucose) Genesis 1:29 “And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” Ezekiel 47:12 “And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.”

I know what you mean. I think that we have to take the good bits of wisdom that make sense to us, and the bits that don’t, don’t worry about them. These nutritionists have quite extreme views and I have learnt to respect that a protocol has worked for them and others but not necessarily for everyone. Do you know what I mean? I tried keto because my body loves high protein BUT without complex carbs in my diet, I suffered. So from this experience I know that carbs are NOT evil for me.

@@KBear44 I do know what you mean. I can empathize greatly.
