If you don't have fresh mint for this recipe, I would use 1 drop of my Young Living Peppermint Oil.
Young Living Peppermint Oil can be used for many different things. I use it when I am doing the Raindrop Technique on my clients.
Also I use it in homemade hot chocolate for my son and his friends, or in a cup of
medicinal tea when you are feeling like you are trying to catch a cold
or flu. Diffuse it in the air for a wonderful fresh smelling home.

Raw Plant Based Diet - Year one - COMPLETE
February 10, 2013 I started a journey. I didn't know how long that journey was going to be. That journey started with a commitment to cleanse my body with a Juice Fast that was going to start on February 10, which was the day after I returned from a business trip, and end on Easter, which was 49 days later. So a 49 day Juice Fast.
End... what would the end of it look like?
WHY... WHY would I do this?
Well to start I was enrolled at the time at IIN, Institute for Integrative Health, and have since graduated and am now a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach. And so was learning much deeper than I already knew about nutrition and the body, and felt guided by that learning to be able to do this successfully.
In July 2012 I was climbing up the ladder in my barn to get a notebook for a client out of the loft. As I was almost to the top, the ladder came out from under me. I caught myself on the edge of the platform with my elbows and hit my rib cage at the stomach level hard. My son was in there with me and quickly came to put the ladder back under me. I thank God he was there. Quite shaken, I went into the house, into the bedroom and sobbed. I didn't want to fall apart in front of my son. My elbows were killing me and my gut hurt. But as par for my course, I didn't go to a Dr. That was until I had an appointment with a breast Dr. 5 weeks later. She asked what I had done because there was bruising at the rib cage. I hadn't noticed. But what I had noticed was that where my liver lays, felt like there was a sock stuffed in there. Very uncomfortable. But again, par for my course, didn't get it checked out. (my elbows were another story, oyie!)
In November 2012, I did get blood work done and found that my liver panels were at 170, when normal is 20-35. My Dr assumed that it was because I had been in pain and had taken lots of Tylenol.... HUMMMMmmmm NOT... I don't take Tylenol because I know it is not good for you. So then she assumed that it was because I was under a great deal of stress... HUMMMMmmmm I said "I was unaware that stress effected the liver". She then said it didn't but that adults who are under stress tend to drink more... HUMMMMmmmm that may be for an adult who drinks.... I DON'T DRINK... To that she said... HUMMMmmmmm "We will check it again in 4 months".
WOW really???
So I dug deep into why my liver panel was so off. I found that you can damage your liver in a car accident with impact. I had had impact on my liver and it had not felt good since hitting it and the bruise that my other Dr. had witnessed 5 weeks after the incident indicated that there may have been laceration to the liver. In any case, I had damaged my liver and needed to figure out a way to heal it.
I knew I had 4 months before she wanted my blood work again so I had some time to do my research.
Through my school, and research, and also watching Fat Sick and Nearly Dead, I came to the conclusion that I needed to do a juice cleanse. So off I went.
At the end of the 7 weeks, I did get my blood work done, as that was also the end of the 4 months. My numbers went from 170 to 20!
At about week 5, I decided, as a result of my schooling and research, that I was going to go Raw Plant based eating through to July 1 and at that time I would re-evaluate again. I got to July 1 and decided to go to December 31, 2013. Then I decided to continue to the year mark, February 9, 2014.
And now today, February 10, 2014, is the first day of year 2. I am going to continue this journey. I have found many resources to help me and have several prep books for different meals. ALL wonderful. I have learned new ways of eating things and making them taste wonderful. But most of all, my body continues to heal. My body is stronger and has more energy than it did previously just to name a couple things. In addition the frequency and intensity of my migraines have become so infrequent that that alone has been a blessing.
Now as a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach, I am able to help you on your journey. We are all bio-individual and need to learn to listen to our bodies. As your coach, I will help you and walk beside you in your journey. For me right now that is Raw Plant Based eating, but that may not be your journey. My goal is to help you REGENERATE your INNER HEALTH. It is a Walk, not a run or sprint.
WalkToHealth(with)me. Schedule your Holistic Health consultation and let's get you on your journey to health. You can be healthy as you age. Don't let age or ill health conquer you. We can turn your body back around to health. Don't wait until your health is in a critical state. Given the right and healthy tools, your body can heal.

Blackberries - Harvest now and put up for winter!

Blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries... Any berry and you will find me picking them. I LOVE the harvest and putting up berries to have year around. I freeze them on a cookie sheet with a reusable sheet of sorts on the cookie sheet so they don't stick to the pan. Once the berries freeze I take them off and put them in bags. This makes it so that they don't stick together and are individually frozen.
As a raw foodist, I really am looking to fill my upright freezer with berries this year to supply my need for berries for my morning 'green' protein drink. 1 cup of blackberries adds 2 grams of protein to my morning drink.
The most prominent question I get about being a Raw Foodist is; 'How do you get your protein?'. Much of the population doesn't understand that raw plant based food has protein, plant protein. If you think about it, how do cows, hippos, giraffes get their protein? The same way I do. AND as you can see below, one cup of blackberries has 2 grams of protein!
The blackberries of 2013 are huge and plentiful in Oregon right now. Get out and get some for your harvest. I try to pick about an hour every other evening. I have 9 gallons frozen thus far. I would LOVE to have 12, one for each month.
I encourage you to get out and get some in your freezer for the winter, or for eating now! They are everywhere and huge, and very sweet!!

Raw Plant based eating -
Five months eating totally Raw Plant based food. And in that 5 months traveling to 6 different locations. Traveling, and being in hotels did prove challenging but not to the point of changing my eating. I still ate only Raw plant based food.
In this time I have found it interesting the comments made by people. Overall, most don't understand what eating Raw means, nor do they understand that the food isn't just a 'salad'.
In time I will write a book on how to travel and eat Raw. I did successfully eat nutrient rich meals a few times out. And the most impressive place I found to eat out, and I WISH they had more restaurants in other locations and states, is Be Raw Food and Juice. It is in Dallas and if you live there and haven't been there, you need to take time to go there and support them. They have amazing RAW plant based food.
The second most impressive, and most impressive for a non raw restaurant, was Cheesecake Factory. Both in Anaheim on Katella, and in Mesa on Power went out of their way to make me a nutrient dense meal. There is a picture on Sole Haven's Facebook page. Chef David is now also eating a 75% Raw diet so he 'got it'.
The question asked most is "so do you eat raw fish?". A great many people cock their heads and don't really understand. The second most frequently asked question is "how do you get your protein?" Protein is not the same. Some may tell you that a protein is a protein is a protein. That is simply not true. Plant protein is the healthiest protein for our bodies, but most people don't understand that you can get protein from a plant based diet.
If you would like to learn more about eating this way, or just getting healthy for you, in a way that you need to do it, I will help you do that. I offer a 6 month 2 session a month program that is 50 minutes each session and we will walk together in your journey getting you to your goals of health.
Do you want to be more relaxed, less tired, more energetic, better clarity, less aches and pains, and live more vibrantly? Book a health history consultation with me and we can move you to your goals of feeling and being healthy! You don't have to hurt as you age. Nor do you have to be on loads of pharmaceuticals.

3 months Raw Plant based eating!
I now have been 3 months as of May 10, 2013 Raw Food, Plant based eating. I have to say that I am feeling amazing and actually am seeing some renewed energy.
Clearer thinking is another 'side' effect of eating this way. My body is liking this. I also traveled most of April and the first of May and found that it is not that hard to eat this way while traveling. Though it does take determination.
Interestingly, while talking to Jason at Be Raw Food and Juice, we discussed how people think of us as 'weird' eating plant based raw food. But if you really think about it, we are eating the basics of basic food, that is REAL food, and what most people are eating are 'food like substances'.
I am on a mission to help people find their way back to real nutrient dense food. And NO - I don't just eat ice berg lettuce, in fact I don't eat that at all. I eat nutrient dense foods. And because of that find myself VERY satisfied.
Do you want to change your life to be healthier, and as you grow older, gain better health? We don't have to be in ill health just because we are adding on the years on our lives. That is a myth. I can help you reach those thought to be 'unreachable' health goals. We can turn things around. Click on the Holistic Health tab at the top and read more, or just click on the Book Now button and book your Free Health History consultation. Let's get started on your 6 month journey!
The cost of the 6 month program will remain at this price until I am completely certified. Once I graduate July 26, 2013, the price will go up. If you schedule your program before August 1, 2013, I will give you the intern rate, as long as we begin your 6 month program before Sept 15.
