An easy to follow ~ Healing Diet that will have you feeling great!

My Angel, Clara at Trillium Lake, Mt. Hood

I grew up mostly in the Northwest, in the mountains. I spent alot of my time as a kid fishing, hiking, and going along on hunting trips. An appreciation for the outdoors, and living off the land blossomed in me. I paid attention to how foods, the outdoors, and exercise affected me throughout my life and I made a note to follow it. It hasn't always been easy, depending on the company I keep;) I have found that if I stick to the following regimen as closely as possible, I will have more energy, feel healthier, & maintain mental clarity.



I hope you will find my tips helpful on your rode to always feeling happy & healthy:)

Mental Clarity, Energy, & Mood:

Fish Oil (or Flax Seed Oil as a vegan alternative) 1000-2500 mg.
Green Tea & Saffron
Black Tea & Saffron
Green Smoothie Protein Powder (find a brand that has: Spirulina)
Avocados (try one in your smoothie with a banana!:)

Calming, Circulation, and Digestive:

Chamomile & Saffron
Plain Low-fat Yogurt ( I like Nancy's or an Organic brand)
Sprouted Whole Wheat Breads * (California Brand is Great!)
Flax Seeds ( You can find a variety of items made with flax)
Organic Greens ( Mixed Greens, Spinach, Romaine)
Berries (or Organic Frozen)
Beets
Garlic
Tomatoes
Vinaigrettes

Stay Away from or Limit to 1x a week:
