IG: Man, gluten-free + low glycemic can be so challenging when you’re traveling a foreign county that doesn’t get it. But I’m staying strong and doin’ it kids (the low glycemic as best as possible). As everyone else sips their beers, eats their soft shell tacos, pastries, pasta, pizza, cookies, blah blah blah, I’m staying true to my commitment, for MY HEALTH. Yeah, I love gluten-containing foods so damn much, but I recently found out through comprehensive functional lab testing that I’m reacting very poorly to gliadin (a component of gluten), so it has to go. GET THIS (a bit of a digression): I’m also insulin resistant, not processing carbs well at all, have H. Pylori (an overgrowth of bacteria in the gut that causes gastritis and ulcers), have a very common parasite, am severely lacking many amino acids and b-vitamins (from poor digestion), have a severely compromised immune system and more… so if you’re wondering why I’m doing this, now you know. If you’re suffering from unknown health issues I URGE you to have comprehensive lab tests done through a functional medicine facility. I found out more about what’s actually going on with my body in one month than I have in the past 4 years of searching. Anyway, kudos to all y’all who travel with dietary restrictions, keep up the hustle lol

IG: Hey, we’re here, on the island of Bastimentos in Panama (just outside Bocas del Toro) ?. We’re nestled in a rustic jungle cabin with this view. Some internet here and there but no TV. Hanging with a zillion chickens, 3 kitties, 2 goats, 2 dogs and friends ?????. Eating fresh food, being outdoors literally 24/7 and working on being PRESENT. It’s HOT and crazy humid and I love it. Imma do some posts but I haven’t been on my phone much at all, and this has been such a stress reliever. Jeff too. Sending our love to everyone back home as we settle into our space— we are well

IG: That’s the plan, folks! Tomorrow I start week 2 of my strength and conditioning program by the legendary @jaytofit. Feeling blessed to have a set plan to a) take a load off my own brain and b) help me with my consistency in actually making it to the gym (no excuses now!). Yeeeeehaw @360athletics ・・・ Keep going, keep growing

IG: Life is all about adventure. Often, life chooses your adventures for you, but sometimes you’re fortunate enough to choose your own. I love ‘adventures’ because they often push you out of your comfort zone, which can be uncomfortable at times, but ultimately lead to personal growth. Our next travel adventure together is coming up fast and I’m so excited. 9 days until we go (and I can smooch my favorite guy again on a tropical beach?). Feeling grateful for the upcoming adventure and whatever magic and growth it may bring our way

IG: STRAWBERRY ORANGE GUMMIES ??????using grassfed gelatin! Successfully made delicious healthy gummies today based on @autoimmunepaleo’s awesome Lemon-Raspberry recipe. Truth be told, I didn’t have enough lemons or raspberries on hand, so I used the fresh juice from 1 lemon + 2 large oranges, a cup of strawberries instead of raspberries and then reduced the amount of honey by 1/3 (because of the sweetness from the oranges). They’re absolutely delicious, low sugar and full of all the gut-healing benefits of grassfed gelatin. Yum, yum, yum— if you have kids, or still are one like me, this recipe is a must-try! You can find the original quick and easy gummy recipe at autoimmunewellness.com ??. Oh, and I chose hearts too because IT’S ALL ABOUT LOVE in my life, but there are zillions of super fun silicone moulds on @amazon (bears?! LEGO men?! Worms?! I want #? #❤️

It’s all a wonderfully beautiful cycle that most of us have become too far removed from. Feeling grateful for the bounty this year’s garden provided; no joke I haven’t shopped in weeks (just avocados ?). Wishing you a healthful, colorful weekend

IG: Preparing myself to let go of my favorite little fluffy butts tomorrow as they leave our residential Toronto neighborhood backyard to return to their farm home???. Our experience with them has truly been wonderful and I’m convinced their presence helped me through my grieving and healing process over the last 6 months. There was a brief moment where I wondered whether my impulsive, spur-of-the-moment decision to rent 4 chickens and put them in our backyard was a bit insane (also because it was technically illegal here), but I’m so glad I went with my gut and did it. I learned so much about raising healthy chickens, bonded with the spirits of these awesome animals, and enjoyed delicious, fresh, nutritious eggs daily. What a gift. I will miss you GretcHEN, LilliHEN and Ethel, I can’t wait until I have permanent fluffy butt friends around (because I sure will), and I hope they’re just like you (especially G & L NOW, onto our next adventure!! ??

IG: My first stab at growing sweet potato ? (more accurately, urban container sweet potato)— a success, except they’re more like sweet potato ‘fingers’ and could have used some more time in the soil to mature and fill out before I harvested them. But we leave pretty soon, so I got antsy to harvest (gardeners, you know how hard it is to be patient). Fortunately, I have one more tub of these that I will allow to mature for 2 more weeks. Plus it’s been the weirdest, wet, confusing summer/fall in some time?!… anywho, can’t wait to eat these delicious organic goodies, fingers or not
