You might actually want to thank it — it’s doing everything it can to protect you. Excess fat is often a response to chronic internal inflammation. And inflammation? It literally means burning — usually caused by an acidic environment around your cells. Your brilliant body knows that acids can damage tissue. So, it responds with its lipid-based lymphatic system, producing cholesterol to buffer the burn. Cholesterol acts like a glue, sealing off affected cells to protect them. The problem? While this calms inflammation (and may even stop the pain), it also blocks nutrients and oxygen from getting in. Over time, this starves your cells — weakening them and impairing their ability to produce hormones, neurotransmitters, and structural proteins like collagen. So what’s causing the inflammation in the first place? ✅ Toxic exposure (from food, water, environment) ✅ Unbalanced nutrition — including trendy diets like keto, high-protein, low-carb, or fasting without proper support The first step to healing: - Cut down on high-protein and high-fat foods - Avoid isolated vitamins and synthetic supplements - And no — you don’t need to switch to an all-fruit or raw diet overnight✨ A gradual transition with nourishing cooked meals + hydrating raw foods can work wonders 👣 Want to ease into a detox-supportive, plant-based lifestyle without overwhelm?

Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until millet is soft. Serve warm and enjoy.

Coming soon: A 7-Day Meal Plan to support your healing journey. If you’re navigating autoimmune symptoms, chronic fatigue, or just feel stuck in your body — this plan is your gentle reset. These are not random “healthy” recipes. They’re carefully crafted using two powerful principles from holistic naturopathy: 🧠 Gut restoration ⚖️ Rebalancing your body’s pH Why?

It’s about listening to your body, starting where you are, and going at your own pace.

Ever wondered why your joints ache or your teeth feel more sensitive—especially after making new “healthy” changes to your diet? Vinegar—even the organic or homemade kind—isn’t as harmless as it seems. Even though some people consider apple cider vinegar or homemade vinegars “natural” or even “alkalizing” due to their mineral content, chemically, they’re still acidic—and can put stress on your body’s delicate pH balance, especially when consumed regularly or in large amounts. The main compound in vinegar—acetic acid—can disrupt your natural pH and place extra strain on your metabolism. Over time, it may contribute to calcium depletion from tissues, leading to joint inflammation, tooth sensitivity, enamel thinning, or even bone weakness. If you’re on a healing journey—especially from autoimmune, joint, or neurological conditions—avoiding vinegar can make a noticeable difference. ✨ Try fresh lemon juice instead—it alkalizes the body and supports digestion without the metabolic burden.
