In my 10 years in California, I have never been to Yosemite, so when a friend invited me for a girls road trip, I was in. For some reason, I expected the National Parks to be similar to theme parks in America 🤣 just fully equipped with everything I might need at any time. I honestly expected them to have a Whole Foods there 🤣 I had no idea I was going into the very middle of nowhere and nothingness and very little civilization (a bathroom was luxury!). My first reaction was fear. What am I gonna do without my daily organic juice? How am I going to survive on cookies and chips (that’s all they had at the emergency convenience stores)? LITTLE DID I KNOW!!!!! You don’t actually need anything when you’re in the mountains. I was on my worst diet (gluten+sugar+processed food exclusively), no exercise (in America you don’t even walk in national parks, you have to drive everywhere), poor sleep (I was constantly afraid for my life: I feared the bear would attack us and eat my dog), no skincare (if a bathroom was luxury, I could only dream of a sink or mirror) and YET! I lost weight, my skin was clear, I was happy and relaxed. At higher elevations, the air has less oxygen, which allows the body to retain carbon dioxide: the gas of life. CO2 protects against stress, it supports consciousness, it maintains circulation, it prevents lactic acid formation and it liberates oxygen so it can enter tissues. You have to be CO2 MAXING 🌬️🌬️🌬️ ✨ ✨ #co2 #holistichealth #functionalhealth #health #wellness taken in Yosemite National Park by @tableclothonly

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting @tim.spector and @theguthealthmd last night at @theofficiallove.life and chatting a little bit about processed foods, gut health, and the microbiome. The most interesting thing I noticed was that both of them study the same things and arrive at the same conclusions, but their attitudes about it are slightly different. Dr. Spector, being from Europe, has a more relaxed and flexible idea of a healthy lifestyle, which I think is very common among Europeans in general, as they are not actively attacked by the food system every day. Dr. Bulsiewicz, au contraire, has more awareness of the dangers of American food quality, non-organic food, animal farming, etc., and kind of ‘warned us’ about it along the way. Ever since I moved to the U.S., I’ve joked that I’m just ‘allergic to America,’ because when I’m here I feel so sick, and when I go back home, I’m suddenly healed. Little did I know, not only is the food out to get you, but also the water, air, mold, stress, and even other people’s microbiomes 🤣 All we have to do is be more mindful about our choices 🙏🏼 We also got to try @zoe’s ‘Daily 30+’ gut supplement, which easily helps you get 30 different plants in your diet — ZOE’s core belief for improving (and exciting) your microbiome. taken in Love.Life by @tableclothonly

My eternal inner battle between growing a social media account and living my precious mysterious life in the middle of nowhere with no Internet access 😮‍💨 It’s hard to find the middle ground these days. I was so stressed that my last post was back in July, but then I always come back to my “Tutto Passa” European wisdom. How could I sacrifice summer to think about Instagram posts? That would not be very TableclothOnly of me in the first place! So instead I was playing with my dog on the beach, tanning on a boat, catching sunsets, eating gelato with my besties, juicing some celery in peace, having zero worries about gluten or dairy, being silly, dancing the night away… just having fun, really. 🥰 Yes, I sacrificed some sleep and my microbiome, but not everything has to be perfect at all times. And yes, I could be more productive and hustle, but life’s so much more than that! Now I’m going into winter hibernation mode so we’ll see about that posting 🤣 But it’s a great time to slow down and restore 🪷 #tuttopassa #slowliving #nervoussystemregulation by @tableclothonly

#WisdomWednesday ✨ Today’s topic: “fixing” your life I realized early on that I was only angry, sad and frustrated when I behaved in ways that were not the “ideal me” that I had in mind. Many times, especially as women, we cross our boundaries to please others. I used to blame others and the universe for pushing me to do so, but now I know I have complete power to choose what I do and how I do it. You don’t need to constantly wonder how your life choices affect others. You’d be surprised how little people care (in a good way, though!) 🍀 by @tableclothonly

💦 Basal body temperature rises, it’s best to eat more cooling raw fruits and veggies in form of salads, smoothies and juices. 💦 High estrogen creates a more active and supportive digestive system. Now is the time to try to introduce new foods or foods that were triggering symptoms in the past. 💦 Fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants and fiber to promote liver health and estrogen elimination. 💦 Pumpkin seeds and flaxseeds to support hormonal balance (seed cycling). #healthy #vegan #plantbased #seedcycling #ovulation #cyclesyncing #organic #wholefoodsdiet by @tableclothonly

🌸 Steamed or sautéed veggies to support hormonal balance and nutrient absorption. Steamed foods retain nutrients like folate, vitamin C, and iron which are key for blood-building during menstruation and egg development. Foods sautéed in healthy fats enhance absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), supporting estrogen production for follicular growth. These cooking methods are gentle on digestion, which can be sensitive during this phase. 🌸 Leafy greens, broccoli, string beans, zucchini, carrots are extra helpful with liver and estrogen levels. 🌸 Fermented foods like sauerkraut, yogurt, kefir or kimchi support gut health, nutrient absorption and hormonal balance. 🌸 Single-seed fruit to support hormonal balance and reproductive health. They provide vitamins and antioxidants that protect developing follicles and support tissue repair post-menstruation and they’re gentle on the digestive system. Single-seed fruits are symbolically aligned with the follicular phase, representing the “single egg” developing in the ovary. 🌸 Flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds to help with body’s need for estrogen support, tissue repair and energy during menstruation and follicular growth. #healthy #cyclesyncing #seedcycling #plantbased #organic #vegan #vegetarian #wholefoodsdiet #holistic #holisticnutrition by @tableclothonly

If you’re brand new to “detoxing” or your healing journey in general, I highly recommend starting with daily @medicalmedium Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie. It has five key ingredients (Spirulina, Barley Grass Juice Extract, Cilantro, Wild Blueberries and Atlantic Dulse) that work together in synergy to pull heavy metals like mercury, lead, aluminum, nickel, copper, and cadmium out of your organs where they accumulate. Heavy metals are damaging in their own right, but they are also a form of neurotoxin (a poison that disrupts nerve function and confuses your immune system). Heavy metal neurotoxins can inflame and irritate our central nervous system (especially our brain), causing multiple symptoms such as memory loss, brain fog, fatigue, and depression. Toxic heavy metals can also promote inflammation in the digestive tract, releasing poisons into our gut as well. They also serve as a source of food for viruses, bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens in our body. You can have it as a smoothie, smoothie bowl or eat all the ingredients separately. I come back to it often after traveling or multiple days of eating out. PS. HMDS was available at Erewhon for a brief collab. It’s no longer on their Café Menu but you can still get all the ingredients at the store. #healthy #plantbased #vegan #medicalmedium #heavymetaldetoxsmoothie #hmds #organic #detox taken in Erewhon Market by @tableclothonly

☁️ @primallypure Pop Up at @farmhabitpv Primally Pure is a skincare brand dedicated to crafting 100% natural, non-toxic products using organic, farm-sourced ingredients like grass-fed tallow to promote healthy, radiant skin. Emphasizing sustainability and transparency, the brand offers effective, eco-friendly solutions for diverse skin types, prioritizing simplicity and regenerative wellness. We were lucky enough to try their new (currently sold out) Sunscreen, Sun Lip Balm, Charcoal Deodorant & Antioxidant Balm. Our skin can absorb about 60% of applied skincare products, so it’s very important that we care just as much what goes ON our bodies as we care what goes into them. #healthy #nontoxic #cleanskincare #skincare #sunscreen taken in Playa Vista Farmers' Market by @tableclothonly
