Dr. Goldner’s Citrus Cruciferous Salad

[@lisarussom5935]

It looks beautiful. Enjoy.❤

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Carol, thank you for taking the time to explain this. Very interesting. When asked to consider changes to her protocol, Dr. Goldner typically explains that she has worked with 5000 people and she trusts the results that she’s gotten wth her disease reversing protocols. She uses salt to replenish that lost from hyper hydration, and if it’s iodized, for the iodine and sodium replacement. If it’s not then she recommends taking the iodine supplement. She will only speak about what she has had tested and proven results on. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.🌻🥰🌻

Thanks Nan, it looks delicious. I have her book (and yours) so I will be for sure making it as soon as I get some pineapple. I am on day 6 (cleanly)of Dr. G’s protocol. 😀 I have been thinking about doing it for months now but just couldn’t bring myself to start. By sharing your journey following Dr.G’s protocol you inspired me to finally just do it. So thank you for the push I needed, I know it will be worth it ! I have been WFPB for about 6 years but have struggled with sweets even though they are compliant sweets. But I think my taste buds are being “reprogrammed” 😂 Love your sunflowers! 🌻 🥰🌻

[@NanSimonsen]

I’m glad you love my sunflowers Karalee, they are my soul flower. I am so happy that I could make a difference, and so pleased that you’re doing this. She said it got harder on the second and third week, and interestingly, I felt the most challenged by it then as well. Now I’m going into the fourth week and I feel much more settled. Stay in touch and tell me how you’re doing if you would.🌻🥰🌻

[@karaleenicholson3423]

I was hoping it got easier for week two. 😂 I don’t know about you but I am missing a warm meal. 🌻🌻🌻

[@VagabondMango]

I stand corrected, I looked in my Dr. Goldner‘s cookbook and she does use rice vinegar. I made that dressing and it is freaking amazing. I’m so glad you mentioned the rice vinegar because I would’ve used apple cider. But I saw rice vinegar and another one of her recipes so I’m glad it’s allowed

[@NanSimonsen]

That’s exactly what I do! I look for what I wanna use in another recipe in the book, and that gives me the thumbs up to do it. I’m glad that you found what you were looking for and shared the confirmation. Thanks!🌻🥰🌻

I was just looking for Dr Goldner video's, and you popped up! Yay, i need all the inspiration i can get!😂😂

[@NanSimonsen]

Well, thank you, I hope I inspire you as well. She certainly has inspired me!🌻🥰🌻

[@deborahcaprara9993]

This looks fabulous and so do you as well as your detailed description of everything. Thank you for this wonderful inspiration!❤

[@cheryllewis1697]

What a great idea to demonstrate Dr Goldner's recipes! Congratulations on reversing your pain! You look fabulous! I would never have guessed that you are 74! I'm 67 now, and I started on a high raw vegan path 8 years ago, but I'm getting derailed with a SAD fiance, so I'm watching videos again to help me stay focused. So glad I encountered your videos!

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Cheryl, thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to write. Wow, high raw vegan for 8 years; I’m sure that it has served too well. And yes, I can imagine that it would be a challenge to be faced with a SAD diet on a daily basis. You are so smart to redirect your attention to reminders a value and power of healthy food to heal. Keep watching, and stay in touch. My best to you. 🌻🥰🌻

[@plantpoweredpedaler]

So fun to see your sunflowers! We have 3 towering in the garden right now. Live them.

[@NanSimonsen]

I’m envious Janet, I don’t have sunflowers in my yard right now. Those are from Trader Joe’s.😹 🌻🥰🌻

[@carolynlapota5495]

Thanks Nan. You made a beautiful, yummy salad. I plan to be starting next Tuesday.

[@NanSimonsen]

I’m so glad to hear that you’re going to be doing this Carolyn! Be sure to stay in touch and tell me how you’re doing. Also keep watching my videos.🌻🥰🌻

[@carolwong9279]

That dressing looks amazing. I can't use vinegar but I will replace it with lime juice. Isn't it nice to live in S. California where we can maintain a garden year round. Thanks for sharing Nan.

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Carol, actually, although I can have vinegar, I like citrus juice better; either lemon or lime. I’m trying to stay on point with what she does in her recipes when I demonstrate them out of respect, and also to see what she likes, and then only later, to make it my own. Thanks for sharing! 🌻🥰🌻

[@stephko8312]

The salad looks great! I will try this dressing. Thanks for sharing.

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Steph. It is really yummy, I hope you like it. It could also take any dressing you like.🌻🥰🌻

So happy to have found your videos! Just got your book yesterday! I know i have inflamtion and suffer from pain in legs and feet occasionally! I need to lose 50lbs. Thank you again for sharing your journey!!!😊😊😊

[@RolandRitaSheaves]

Thanks Nan, really enjoying this series. I was not aware of Dr. G until I saw your video. Very very interesting

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Roland, I have done a deep dive into her work, and paid a lot of attention to the results that she is getting as highlighted by those who connect with her during her Q&A sessions. I have been which helped me recover from pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, painful, rheumatoid arthritis, symptoms, and some other issues. But it’s taking her hyper nourishment to kick it up a notch, which I believe will lead to greatly reducing, or eliminating the antibodies to my autoimmune diseases. keep watching, will both be learning together?🌻🥰🌻

[@kristinheimburg330]

Wow! Your channel is my new favorite. I want to make this.

[@NanSimonsen]

My goodness Kristen, what a kind and enthusiastic comment. I have been WFPB, and wrote my book Aging Powerfully singing the praises of Lifestyle is medicine, with WFPB as the foundation. I believe so strongly now that. What a plant-based diet alone can heal, Dr. Goldner’s protocols count hyper nourishing is the step up. Thank you for watching this; please keep watching and stay in touch. I appreciate your connecting. 🌻🥰🌻

[@PamelaDoss]

The salad looks scrumptious! I can’t wait to try it.🥰

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Pamela, let me know what you think, also play around with dressings that you like that are on her protocol.👏🌻🥰🌻👏

[@pamelacarter6904]

Keep these videos coming, Nan! Although I could really stand to improve some issues that I have with Dr. G's protocol, I thought I could never do it. Your videos have inspired me and have shown me that it can be done. I recently turned 66 and you are a great role model for me. Thank you!

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Pamela, I’m so glad you wrote, and I am very pleased to hear that I inspired you the full protocol. Although as Dr. Goldner has said it gets a little bit more challenging, the second and third week when urges come up, it’s worth sticking too. I’m amazed at how I am now able to run- will actually trot-on a knee that has a times kept me from even walking a short distance. That’s the value of cellular repair. I’m going into my fourth week and then will have labs during the third week of October to compare where I was when I began. Be sure to tell me how you’re progressing. My best to you.🌻🥰🌻

⁠ thank you so much Pamela, I’m feeling the same way. Fingers crossed big time. I will say though that, regardless of the early stage results, I will keep going with hyper nutrition.🌻🥰🌻.

[@frozybunny1]

Hi so happy I found you! I just got your book yesterday! So excited to try this as I too have a pain in legs and foot. I am sure inflamation plus need to lose 50lbs. So again thank you for these grest videos! I judt stsrted binge watching!!😊😊😊

[@NanSimonsen]

⁠ hi Frozybunny! I am so glad that you’re binge watching my videos. I’ve binge watched Dr. Goldner’s, as I have others whom I admired as I transitioned to WFPB 6 years ago. With Dr. Goldner, I intend to say goodbye to the very last bits of ill-health that being fully plant-based did not heal- my auto- immune antibodies Keep watching, and let me know how you’re doing. I so much appreciate you taking the time to write.🌻🥰🌻

[@louisborsato7676]

Well done Nan!🌻🌻 That salad looks super nutritious! I'm going to make it this evening. Chef AJ had Dr. Goldner on her KZbin channel last week. The topic of discussion was Multiple Sclerosis. Anyone Interested should check it out. Here in Canada where l live, we still haven't experienced frost. It's actually still warm for this time of year. Temperatures will start dipping this week, so l'll be bringing my potted basil indoors soon. I just spent a week in the northern forests harvesting the super medicinal chaga mushroom . Will have plenty to make as a tea this winter. I'm a big fan of mushrooms. It's truly a superfood. Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing.

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Louis! Thank you for sharing. I saw their interview and I too thought that is was very worthwhile. So you are a food forager?! Well at least mushrooms. What a treat to go into the forests gathering such a valuable treasure. I too love mushrooms, but lack your knowledge to gather them safely. Last year we travelled a bit in Canada. The farthest north we got was Golden. What a beautiful country you live in! 🌻🥰🌻

[@apple369]

Yum! That salad is a good one. The broccomoli is my favourite recipe from the book. And I'm enjoying dehydrated tomato flax tortillas, which I've modified by adding in some almond pulp left over from my homemade almond milk. I'm in Vancouver (the Canadian one) and it's starting to get cold and rainy here, so I've been making some raw soups and stews as well. There are just so many options.

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Apple! I too like the guacamole. There are a lot of terrific recipes in there and I still have a lot to try. I make the tomato flax tortillas into crackers, so I dehydrate them until they are completely dry. They’re delicious aren’t they? It sounds like you are very familiar with this protocol too. Thanks for sharing! 🌻🥰🌻

[@kimskitchen123]

Looks delicious. Can you have dates on the protocol?

[@VagabondMango]

Dr G says no dates. Too much sugar content. But I have healed so much and I use about 5 dates per day. Organic Medjule dates. So I suppose i could do better but I hate the taste of the cruciferous greens without them 😩

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Kim, no dates on her hyper nourishing healing protocol. The point is pure anti-inflammatory and the highest of the nourishing foods. It’s rather restrictive, but I keep imagining as I follow it, that everything that goes into my mouth is helping, not just neutral, or not damaging, it’s a helpful mindset. Thanks for connecting and keep watching. Please stay in touch. 🌻🥰🌻

[@kimskitchen123]

@@VagabondMango I found a post from about 7 yrs ago when someone asked the same question and she ( Dr.G reply that they are not healing but ok to have. I only have had a very small amount to sweeten a dressing when needed. Been on the protocol for two weeks now.

[@IamBlessedBarbie]

Nan do you take vitamin d3 or vitamin d3k2? I’m having a hard time debating which one is important to take.

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi Barbie, I take vitamin D3. There are a lot of plant foods that we eat on this protocol that are rich and K2; that’s my rationale. Thanks for connecting. Please keep watching and stay in touch.🌻🥰🌻

[@IamBlessedBarbie]

@@NanSimonsen you sure Nan because K is different from k2. We get k from plants but not k2. Can you check that for me please.

[@NanSimonsen]

⁠ hi! To double check I researched K2 and plant sources and they do include broccoli, spinach, and other plant sources. I also heard Dr. Goldner just today in one of her past Q&A sessions on Wednesday and someone asked that same question. Her simple answer was that she takes vitamin D3, sees no reason to take K2. I hope that’s helpful. 🌻🥰🌻

@@NanSimonsen thank you ❤️🫶🏾

[@VagabondMango]

The salt has to be iodized… don’t know if you mentioned that. Because the cruciferous veggies deplete the body of iodine and that’s her easy measurement to keep that from happening. I use kombu flakes. Specifically kombu because it has the highest amount of iodine of all of the see weed type of things. And the iodine has to be taken 2 hours before or after the cruciferous veggies. And also rice vinegar is made from grain so I’m not sure if Dr. G would use it in her protocol. I haven’t tried this recipe cuz the avocados are high FODMAP and they hurt my stomach which is such a bummer. And tomatoes are a nightshade and cause my arthritis to flare up. I guess I’m not healed yet because I’ve been doing the smoothies for a year and a half and then I cheat. I need to do her one on one because I’m sabotaging the protocol. But my muscle disease has improved so much. I don’t need a neck brace to hold my own head up. Sometimes breathing is hard if I cheat… but I really need to start walking AND get on protocol to heal. Thanks for your videos! They remind me to quit screwing around. lol

[@NanSimonsen]

Hi thank you for sharing. I follow Dr. Goldner’s advice that I have heard again and again, that we don’t have to use iodized salt, we can take iodine at 150 mg if no thyroid disease, 130 a day with thyroid disease. That’s what I do, and I maintain with foods that she recommends like Braggs aminos, and salt recommended in her recipes. Thanks for connecting. Isn’t it exciting that you have seen results on your? if in two weeks when I get retested, I don’t see what I was hoping for, I will work with her directly. I appreciate your writing. Take care of yourself. 🌻🥰🌻

[@clararomero1004]

You look amazing ❤ can you eat nuts and seeds in this protocol???

[@NanSimonsen]

Good question Clara. Because the point of this protocol is to cut way down on omega sixes which are inflammatory when INXS, and they are in excess in almost everybody, and to increase omega-3 fatty acids, which are anti-inflammatory, and highly nourishing. The strongest omega-3 fatty acid plant sources are in flax and Chia. So yes, you can eat flax and Chia seeds-as a matter fact, a half a cup a day is recommended if you can take much-but all other nuts are higher in omega 6, and so are avoided during the hyper nourishment and healing period. I hope that was helpful. Let me know how you’re doing as you progress.🌻🥰🌻

@@NanSimonsen thanks you

[@MollyVSmurl]

Love all of your content! The only thing I’m not a huge fan of is the sea salt/salt usage. I prefer to use Dulse flakes, wakame or kelp as my main source for iodine and minerals. Just think, would we drink sea water? Also, our blood plasma Hemoglobin identically matches plants blood plasma (chlorophyll) with the exception of the central atom. Our central atom being of iron and plants being magnesium. If we use chlorophyll containing green plants or even grass as an example to how we handle salt…. Well, to put it simply, if we sprinkle salt on grass, it dries up, damages and dies. Same goes for gardening with salt or sea salt. If we were to water our garden with sea salt or add it to our fertilizer as plant food, the produce starts to die. However, plants and produce still need minerals and this is why they sell and recommended mineral rich powerhouses of feed that contain sea vegetables (examples: kelp, spirulina, chlorophyll, Dulse, wakame, nori). The whole point to remember is to consume things that breed more life, not take away. 🎉🎉🎉❤ Curious to know your thoughts!❤❤

I agree Bragg's ACV is horrible. There are lots nicer ACVs available, at least in Australia, don't know about USA.
