Almond flour Donuts for the Win! We’ve been transitioning to a lower carb lifestyle to help reduce the frequency of low blood sugars associated with Jordan’s insulin use and high activity level. As much as we want to be “like everyone else”, type 1 diabetes and eating like everyone else has created many mentally, emotionally and physically draining rollercoasters. This morning’s eggs, turkey bacon and low glycemic almond flour donuts created zero blood sugar rollercoaster for Jordan (and surely my other kids) with healthy protein and fats. No blood sugar spikes. Very little insulin needed leading to no lows when active and playing basketball at school. No highs to chase. No lows to catch. Thankful we live in a time when there are SO MANY amazing alternatives for cooking and baking that are tasty, FUN, delicious and more peaceful blood sugar wise for hours after the meal. by @morileshem19

EASY BLOOD GLUCOSE HACK An easy hack to lower the impact of carbohydrates on blood sugar is to create resistant starch within the food. You can do this by cooking, cooling then eating or lightly reheating those foods. Examples include: Rice Potatoes Pasta Oats Legumes Resistant starch reduces the impact of carbohydrates on blood sugars and can also help with weight management. It is certainly helpful for managing diabetic blood sugars. Leftovers can actually benefit you when used in this way. #bloodsugar #bloodsugarmanagement #diabetesdiet #healthylifestyle #type1mom #type1diabetessupport #type1diabetesmanagement by @morileshem19

𝔸ℕ𝕋𝕀𝔹𝕀𝕆𝕋𝕀ℂ𝕊?? ℕ𝕆𝕎 𝕎ℍ𝔸𝕋??⁣ ⁣ I’ve written before that our gut microbiome is a huge contributor to our serotonin levels. It is now believed that 90% of serotonin is produced in our gut. ⁣ ⁣ My kids are currently on anti-biotics. This will wipe out their beneficial bacteria while also wiping out the bad bacteria that gave them strep. ⁣ ⁣ After anti-biotics it is critical to repopulate the microbiome with good bacteria which supports mental health, digestive health, and the health of our immune system. ⁣ ⁣ We will be increasing pre-biotic foods, doubling up on probiotics, and trying to reduce intake of probiotic killing foods. ⁣ ⁣ Have you noticed a correlation between being on anti-biotics and difficult symptoms showing up after? . . . . . #guthealth #digestivehealth #microbiome #mentalwellness #antibiotics #prebiotics #probiotics #digestion #holistichealth #holisticwellness by @morileshem19

Evan asks me to put this in his lunch every day. ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients:⁣ ⁣ 1 cup creamy unsalted almond butter⁣ 2 eggs beaten ⁣ 1 tsp avocado oil ⁣ 1/3 cup maple syrup ⁣ 1/4 cup cocoa powder⁣ 1/2 tsp. Baking soda⁣ 1/4 tsp. Mineral salt +a touch more for sprinkling on top ⁣ 1 tsp. Vanilla extract ⁣ 1/4 cup mini chocolate chip (I used @enjoylifefoods) ⁣ ⁣ Directions:⁣ ⁣ preheat oven to 350 degrees⁣ Mix all the ingredients together ⁣ Sprinkle a hint of salt on each cookie ⁣ Use an ice cream scooper and scoop 8-10 balls onto a parchment lined baking sheet (give them some room to grow)⁣ Bake for approximately 10 minutes ⁣ Remove from oven and allow to cook completely (about 10-15 minutes)⁣ Usually makes about 2 trays and a total of 15-17 cookies depending on how big you make them. ⁣ Stores in the fridge for 2-3 days and longer in the freezer (I keep these on hand in the freezer at all times to add to lunch boxes)⁣ ⁣ Enjoy! . . . . . #healthysnacks #afterschoolsnack #healthytreats #healthykidsfood #nutritiousanddelicious #nutriciousnacks #healthykidsfood taken in Westwood LA by @morileshem19

We are finally starting to feel like it’s Fall in LA. ⁣ This means a shift to Fall foods is needed to balance the light, dry and cold nature of Fall. This paleo pumpkin bread from the paleorunningmomma was super yummy and fits the Ayurvedic Fall foods bill. ⁣ The pumpkin pie spice mix is a great combination to add to this or any recipe during the Fall. It has cinnamon, ginger, lemon peel, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom, star anise, fennel and black pepper. These are all warming and digestion boosters. ⁣ ⁣ Cloves are a carminative (eliminate gas) and increase hydrochloric acid in the stomach. They also aid peristalsis and warm the body as the temperatures drop. Cloves can aid with nausea when combined with ginger and cardamom which are both ingredients in this @thespicehunter spice mix. ⁣ ⁣ Ingredients⁣ · 3 eggs⁣ · 1 cup organic pumpkin puree⁣ · 1/3 cup oat or almond milk⁣ · 1/3 cup pure maple syrup⁣ · 1 tsp pure vanilla extract⁣ · 1 3/4 cups blanched almond flour⁣ · 1/4 cup tapioca flour⁣ · 1 Tbsp coconut flour⁣ · 1 tsp baking soda⁣ · 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice⁣ · 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon⁣ · pinch fine grain sea salt⁣ · 3 tablespoons dairy free chocolate chip ⁣ (I use @enjoylifefoods dairy free) ⁣ Directions:⁣ ⁣ Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees⁣ Mix all the dry ingredients⁣ Mix all your wet ingredients⁣ Mix wet and dry ingredients together⁣ Bake for approximately 60 minutes then allow to cool for 60-90 minutes so the bread retains its shape when slicing.⁣ . . . . . #fallfood #healthyfallfood #seasonaleating #ayurvedic #ayurbedicmedicine #ayurvediccooking #digestivehealth #digestivesupport #guthealth #paleorecipes #familyfriendlymeals #healthybreakfast taken in Westwood LA by @morileshem19

𝔼𝔾𝔾 ℝ𝕆𝕃𝕃 𝔹𝕆𝕎𝕃 ⁣ ⁣ I love egg rolls. Who doesn’t really. This recipe for a healthy egg roll bowl is a digestive aid due to the high fiber laxative quality of cooked cabbage. ⁣ ⁣ Raw cabbage is difficult to digest and is better not to consume by those with digestive issues or weakness. ⁣ ⁣ This recipe takes about 10 minutes to prepare and is DELICIOUS!! ⁣ ⁣ RECIPE:⁣ 1 tbsp. Ghee or avocado oil ⁣ 1/2 head of cabbage sliced or 1 bag of coleslaw mix⁣ 1 inch piece of fresh ginger grated ⁣ 1/4 cup coconut aminos (can sub Tamari but the aminos will give the dish a hint of sweetness)⁣ 2 eggs ⁣ 1 tbsp. tablespoon sesame oil ⁣ Salt and pepper (to taste) ⁣ Sesame seeds and green onion for topping (optional)⁣ Chopped cooked chicken or ground chicken or beef (optional) ⁣ ⁣ Heat your pan and add ghee or avocado oil. Once heated, add fresh ginger and let it warm on the oil for about 1 minute. ⁣ ⁣ Add cabbage and coconut aminos and sauté for 3-5 minutes until cabbage is slightly softened but not mushy ⁣ ⁣ Make a hole in the middle. Add the sesame oil and then eggs. Cook eggs until they are cooked through. ⁣ ⁣ Mix the egg and cabbage mixture. ⁣ ⁣ If adding COOKED chicken or beef add them and toss everything together. ⁣ ⁣ Top with chopped green onion and sesame seeds. ⁣ #ayurvediclife #ayurvediceating #ayurvediclifestyle #digestivehealth #guthealth #digestivehealth #nutritiontips #digestiontips #digestivesupport #holistichealth #holisticeating by @morileshem19

WHY ARE ALL 6 TASTES IMPORTANT ⁣ ⁣ We need all the 6 Ayurvedic tastes in our diet. Each one plays a different valuable role in overall health. The 6 tastes not only allow us to feel satiated after a meal, they each play an important physiological role as follows:⁣ ⁣ Sweet taste – This is the majority of our carbs, proteins and fats. This taste builds our tissues.⁣ ⁣ Sour taste – The foundation of the digestive fire which is the foundation of our tissues.⁣ ⁣ Salty taste - Brings moisture into the body and supports the digestive fire.⁣ ⁣ Pungent taste – Increases metabolism and supports the digestive fire.⁣ ⁣ Bitter taste – The source of most of our vitamins and minerals (leafy greens) and liver function support.⁣ ⁣ Astringent taste – keeps our tissues functioning properly.⁣ ⁣ Do you know how to make 6 taste meals that fully support all the aspects of your physiology?⁣ ⁣ . . . . . #ayurveda #ayurvedalifestyle #ayurvedalife #holistichealth #holistichealing #holisticwellness #holisticwellbeing #guthealth #guthealing #guthealingfood #digestivehealth #digestion #digestionsupport taken in Westwood by @morileshem19

Have you ever eaten a beautiful large green salad and gotten a stomach ache? Have you ever eaten a hamburger and felt rejuvenated and energized afterwards?⁣ ⁣ Ayurveda looks at each person’s foundational qualities and tailors diet and lifestyle recommendations based on individuals needs. It is not a one size fits all approach but rather a what size fits YOU approach. ⁣ ⁣ What imbalances are you curious about improving from the Ayurvedic perspective? . . . . . #ayurvediclifestyle #ayurvedicmedicine #ayurvedalife #holistic #holisticmedicine #foodasmedicine #naturalhealing #holistichealth #holistichealing #digestivehealth #digestivehealing #guthealth #guthealthmatters taken in Westwood by @morileshem19

AYURVEDA ISNT A DIET ⁣ ⁣ Ayurveda is not a diet. It is a lifestyle that incorporates diet, lifestyle and mindfulness practices that are customized for each individual’s unique needs. ⁣ ⁣ As a mom, this allows me to take the general Template of Ayurveda and Tailor the concepts to each of my family members and their unique needs. ⁣ ⁣ This apple breakfast is a great way to start the day and wake up digestion. I added cooked prunes for my digestive needs. Kapha and pitta digestion can add different spices and remove the prunes for their unique needs. ⁣ ⁣ Do you know your Ayurvedic constitution or current imbalances?? Your signs and symptoms are your clues to your needs. . . . . . #ayurvediclifestyle #ayurvedichealing #ayurvediceating #ayurvedicmedicine #holisticmedicine #holisticlifestyle #foodasmedicine #naturalhealing #digestion #digestivehealth #digestivehealing #guthealth #guthealing taken in Westwood by @morileshem19
