So we recently chatted about fat-soluble vitamin A and how if you want your body to absorb all of the brilliant benefits this vitamin provides, then you had to consume it with fat. Fact!
Today, it's all about vitamin D . . .

One of the main reasons my body is now thriving since embracing fat, I believe, is since I now include a good source of it with every one of my meals, my body’s now able to absorb all those wonderful and essential fat-soluble vitamins that I went for years (even decades) without absorbing. They’re not called fat-soluble vitamins for nothing - and they say nutrient deficiencies can lead to autoimmune disease…..hello Hashimoto’s!!!

I’m saying au revoir to March over here and starting to focus my energies into April.
Unsure what I’m talking about? Well, on New Year’s Eve I decided to NOT set myself any goals/intentions for the year ahead, as they’re usually forgotten just as quickly as they were made, and instead set some intentions for me to focus on each month through the use of tarot and angel cards . . . and I’m loving it. I find that by focussing on just one month at a time, I’m staying present and mindful for the entire month. It’s so much more sustainable and I feel like I’m actually being productive and effective. Interested in seeing my earlier month’s intentions/focus, then just click here (January – February – March).
For me, March was a bit of a tough month as I just recently placed my mum into a nursing home. As you can imagine, there were highs, many lows and a lot of stress. Luckily, she seems to be really enjoying the change and in hindsight, I wish I’d done it earlier, but then that’s the beauty of hindsight, isn’t it. Interestingly, my March Focus was all about nurturing myself. A time to enjoy the little things - quality over quantity, and a time for looking after and pampering myself, relaxing into it and not fighting it.
So now it’s over to April, and what’s in store . . .

Cake. Yes, it is possible to be on AIP and eat your cake too.
Being a lover of baking cakes, making the decision to try the Autoimmune Protocol left me feeling deprived and depressed. Was I ever going to eat cake again? Or more to the point, was I ever going to grease a pan, whip up a batter and bake a cake again?

I can't believe that the time has come to pack away my goals and focus for February and to dive into March.
Feb was an interesting month for me as it was more about looking inwards than dealing with the practical. I have no issue looking inwards, but it's definitely a lot harder to tick a box or reach any tangible goals. In the end, I just have to go with my gut and with how I was feeling - trusting the process.
So what's my plan for March, I hear you ask?

This is one of "those" cakes.
You know the ones.
The ones that forgive every mistake you make and the ones you don't have to measure exactly. My favourite kinda cake . . .

Cranberries. Did you know the nutrients found in cranberries have been linked to a lower risk of urinary tract infections, improved immune function and decreased blood pressure?
No wonder they're eaten in abundance at Christmas time!

So you may remember that at the beginning of the year, instead of setting myself New Year Resolutions that I was bound to forget, fail at or simply ignore, I instead set myself monthly intentions.
Each month is different.
January was about setting my practical foundations for the year.
So what's my plan for February?

The humble pea.
They may be nutrient dense, however these sweet balls of green are actually on the "avoid" list when on AIP.
Why? I hear you ask . . .

January. Being such a lover of all things Christmas, this month can be a little bit of a let down for me. It's the month where I pack up the Christmas tree and twinkle lights (sob!). It's the hottest month of the year (I'm so not a fan!), and it's not even close to my birthday month.
Normally, like most of us, I've set goals during January - mapping out the rest of my year. Goals like new eating and exercise plans, which are usually happily forgotten about by February.
So this year, I'm trying something a little different . . .

So how can you stay grounded, balanced and centred during this time of year when you want or need to do everything and be everything for everyone?

We focus so much (naturally) on the foods we’re letting go of – the negatives – in saying goodbye and feeling deprived, that we forget (or simply overlook) those wonderful foods we can still eat, and in fact, should be eating on a daily basis. These foods are recommended to us for a reason as they help us heal. They’re highly nutritious, delicious to boot and they nourish us from the inside out.
