24.01.2022 Best brew you can make at home to ward off the menstrual cramps! Menstrual cramps are one of the most common problems that women face, affecting over 50% of men...struating women. And more than half of all women with menstrual cramps also have additional symptoms including fatigue, diarrhea, lower backache, headache, dull aching in the low back and pelvis, bloating and weight gain, breast tenderness and irritability. Cramps can be categorized as either primary or secondary Dysmenorrhea. Primary is where cramps occur that have nothing to do with any physical abnormalities. Secondary dysmenorrhea refers to menstrual cramps due to a specific condition such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, ovarian cysts, or uterine fibroids. Of course, treatment for secondary dysmenorrhea is directed to treating the underlying cause of the condition. But primary can be helped tremendously with a healthy low fat, plant based diet and herbs. I used to suffer from cramps when I had candida. But while you are experiencing discomfort there is an amazing tea that I’ve made for many of my friends and clients who suffer from menstrual cramps. Three herbs that are particularly helpful with cramping muscles and easing flow are cramp bark, black cohosh and mugwort. Mugwort has an interesting history and was once considered the universal herb for protection and prophecy, and has been considered a visionary herb. In ancient China and Japan, Mugwort was hung in doorways to get rid of the spirits of disease. And ancient Europeans did the same to ward off evil spirits. These two cultures believed that the supernatural powers of Mugwort were revealed by mermaids who came from the sea to present the herb for the good of humankind. Native Americans burned Mugwort as a smudge to purify their environment. But mugwort has an amazing use as an herb that relaxes the uterus. (**DO NOT take mugwort when pregnant). For my brew, I also add peppermint to add a nice flavor to the tea and to help reduce anxiety that can increase for some women during menstruation. If you really want to super-power this tea, add a hint of blackstrap molasses to get a hint of sweetness and add some iron which is helpful during your cycle. Directions: Place one teaspoon each of mugwort herb, peppermint, black cohosh and crampbark. Pour hot water over the herbs, cover and steep for 10 minutes. Strain (or use a mesh tea ball) and mix with the molasses if desired. Drink 2-3 times per day. healthmasteryinstitute.com

22.01.2022 You never want to just take a supplement just because it’s in your health food store or because everyone is claiming it’s an amazing holistic treatment. You alw...ays want to know the facts to make sure that it is completely safe for your body! I wouldn’t touch over half of the things in my local health food store! Colloidal silver is one of these substances. Here is an excerpt from an HMI Nutrition School lecture on nutrient supplementation. Colloidal silver is hawked as a natural antibiotic. There have been no credible trials on this. What we do know for a fact, is that the human body is NOT well equipped to handle silver. Silver poisons the kidneys, becomes deposited in the brain, and creates a whole host of other problems within the body. It’s very questionable even as a single dose antibiotic. Consistent intake of silver accumulates in the blood forming organs, your spleen, your liver, your bone marrow as well as your skin, your lungs, and your muscles. It can result in serious pathologies, blood disorders, liver cirrhosis, pulmonary edema, chronic bronchitis, a permanent skin condition known as argyria, just to name a few. I highly recommend that you encourage your clients not to take silver; it has been proven to be unsafe and it creates a lot of damage in the body. The anecdotal stories of it helping, may in fact be true, but it doesn’t make it safe. Advil can help you get rid of a headache too, but you don’t want to take something that damages your body, just because it works. ~ HMI Module 11 hminutrition.com

18.01.2022 Are you dealing with arthritis, Chrohn's disease, depression, high cholesterol, acne, or having trouble losing weight due to stress? Turmeric can help! You have likely heard that turmeric is helpful for inflammation, but did you know all the other amazing benefits of this inexpensive spice? To date, over 5,000 medical studies have found over 600 potential health benefits of turmeric! It’s no wonder it has been used for over 6,000 years.... The major benefits of turmeric come from a polyphenol known as curcumin. Curcumin has been found to fight cancer stem cells, reduce inflammation of all types within the body, reduce depression, protect against radiation damage, and help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. The amazing thing about turmeric is that all of the side-effects are positive, unlike the side-effects of drugs like Advil, Tylenol (acetaminophen) and other liver-damaging drugs. You can enjoy turmeric in turmeric milk made with fresh coconut milk (see previous post for recipe), sipping on warm ginger turmeric tea, brushing your teeth with turmeric paste (amazing gum health and tooth whitener), juicing it fresh with carrots and ginger, and of course, using it to season many delicious plant based dishes. One of the many things to love about HMI Nutrition School is learning how to use amazing foods like turmeric to help yourself or your loved ones heal naturally! Here are some more of the conditions turmeric can help with: 1. Easing arthritis symptoms 2. Reducing inflammation of the gums 3. Soothing an upset stomach 4. Reduced risk of prostate cancer. Studies have shown that turmeric in the diet can reduce the risk of prostate cancer, one of the most common cancers affecting men. Cook up some cruciferous vegetables like kale, broccoli and cauliflower (also known for reducing cancer risk) with turmeric for a super healthy anti-cancer meal. 5. Healthy Heart 6. Therapeutic effect on Crohn’s disease 7. Can ease symptoms of depression 8. May help lower cholesterol 9. When applied topically, can help with acne and other inflammatory skin conditions 10. Balancing blood sugar levels, a great benefit for those with diabetes Type 2 11. Can relieve headaches 12. Can aid in liver detox 13. Immune System Booster 14. Can help lower blood pressure 15.

16.01.2022 Now is a great time to start loading up on Vitamin C! Don't wait until you already get sick; keep your body well in ADVANCE! Strengthen your immune system with powerful antioxidant and Vitamin C rich juices. Did you know that your body doesn't make vitamin C? This critical vitamin MUST come from your diet. DO YOU KNOW WHAT DEPLETES VITAMIN C?... Do you drink caffeine in any beverages like coffee? Are you under stress? Are you eating foods with refined sugar? Do you smoke? Do you take aspirin? ALL OF THE ABOVE deplete your vitamin C levels. So, be sure you are getting enough. Vitamin C not only protects against colds and flu by supporting your immune system, but Vitamin C also aids in the development of collagen, a structural component of bones, tendons, ligaments and blood vessels; fights free radicals, helps synthesize norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter responsible for your moods; synthesizing carnitine, which is responsible for the conversion of fat into energy, and can protect against imbalanced blood cholesterol and gallstones. Supplementation with a non-gmo Vitamin C is a great insurance policy, but truly, the healthiest way to keep your immune system in tip-top shape is to CONTINUALLY infuse your cells with nutrient-rich fruits and veggies. Citrus fruits and their high Vitamin C content are critical right now. Don't let your body down! www.healthmasteryinstitute.com
13.01.2022 Top Tips For Freezing Food! Freezing ingredients and dishes is a great way to lock in freshness. I always recommend freezing dishes as soon as they are made or at their freshest, rather than after a few days. SEAL WELL... Sealing ingredients and dishes is so important when it comes to freezing. It is a great way to prevent cross-contamination and prevent freezer burn. Invest in some good quality containers that you can use again and again. FREEZING LIMIT It's easy to put things in the freezer and forget about them. However even frozen food has a limit. When it comes to plant based foods you can be a little more lenient but I would still recommend only freezing things for up to 6 months. A great way to stay on top of this is to label and date all food for freezing. That way you can rotate your food items properly. BATCH FREEZING Cooking big batches of food is a great way to save time on cooking later, but ensure you divide bigger batches down into realistic portion sizes for freezing.

10.01.2022 In your teens and twenties, you may have been able to eat crap and still look amazing! But once you reach your thirties and on, the quality of your nutrition wi...ll start to show on the outside as well. If you look in the mirror and feel like you are aging faster than you should be, it’s also happening on the cellular level as well. Understand that this is a sign that your organs, immune system, and digestive system are also going astray. It’s time to do something for your health and your vanity Focus on a diet rich in Vitamins C & E, selenium, an abundance of antioxidant phytochemicals from your fruits and vegetables, and drink lots of pure water. Avoid processed sugar (not fruit) and alcohol. The processed sugar that is found in nearly everything creates AGEs (advanced glycation end products). This affects the normal function of your cells and makes them more susceptible to damage and aging. ~ HMI Holistic Skincare Secrets www.healthmasteryinstitute.com

06.01.2022 The #1 symptom of adrenal insufficiency is fatigue! This can happen to you when your body has been producing too much cortisol for years and now your adrenals are depleted. You may have been able to survive on stress, coffee, little sleep, and no self-care for a long time, but now your adrenals cannot keep up. Your cortisol levels have dropped too low, and you can't seem to get out of that grip of always feeling tired. ... It's a miserable place to be!

05.01.2022 PRUNES for your Digestion & Heart Health! If you have done any HMI Nutrition School programs, you know that the best way to break a lengthy juice fast (anything 7 days or longer) is with a prune protocol! It's amazing, and nothing comes close to getting the digestive tract working better than it ever has before, than prunes. ... Scientists used to believe that the laxative effect from prunes had to do with the fiber content, but they realized that was not the case, as prune juice has the same laxative effect as prunes. I for one, LOVE prunes. But so many people don't include them in the diet. But plump fresh dried prunes are amazing, and if you like plums, why not a prune? There is a particular compound present in prunes called sorbitol. Prunes contain almost 15 grams per 100 grams of prunes. There are other compounds found in prunes that contribute to the laxative effect including neochlorogenic acids and chlorogenic acids. Prunes also provide a GREAT source of iron, and reduce plaque buildup in the arteries which leads to heart failure, stroke, and heart attack. hminutrition.com
