Our intuition has the power to provide the most direct path to fulfillment. So.. what should we eat to stay the course? The answer is simple - High vibe foods, prepared with care and good intentions. If we can make this a habit, the way we approach food, then making decisions that consistently align with our highest good will come easily, because a healthy gut = a healthy intuition. Eating real food will help you get in touch with your true voice. That is to say that what we do eat is as important as what we do not eat. Let’s go through the do’s and don’ts, shall we?

DO:

• Eat a plant based diet.

• Lots of fresh organic vegetables, fruits and loads of herbs. Emphasis on the greens. They absorb all the sunlight.. light is where the information is.

• Reach for raw nuts, seeds and chocolate, yes, chocolate. Dark, raw chocolate.

• Stay hydrated. Purified water, mineral water, herbal teas.. keep things flowing in the literal sense so they flow metaphorically as well.

• Whole grains. Ancient, earthy, fiber rich grains. Bulgar, quinoa, barley, oatmeal, brown rice, buckwheat, amaranth, spelt.

• Legumes. Adzuki, kidney, navy, lima, peanuts, pintos, lentils and chickpeas.. the list goes on and the possibilities are endless.

• Healthy fats. Olive and coconut oil. Avocado, MCT, Ghee. Again, nuts and seeds - sunflower, pumpkin, flax.. walnuts, peanuts, macadamia, pecan and cashews.

• Fermented foods - my favorite! Kimchi, kraut, pickles, kombucha, kefir, yogurt, miso.. there are fermented hot sauces and honey too.. so good.

• Speaking of honey.. that and maple syrup are good natural sweetness for the gut and can help you tap in (pun intended).

• Super foods: Chlorella, spirulina, Maca, Goji berries, Turmeric, Moringa, Ashwaganda, Rhodiola, CBD, Wheatgrass, sprouts of all kinds.

• IF you eat meat, poultry or fish look for organic, free range, hormone free and grass fed

DON’T:

• Eat a bunch of stuff that comes out of a box or can that needs a jingle and an entire marketing team to make you believe it’s safe to consume.

• Eat mass produced meat that is full of stress and growth hormones.

• Soda

• Sugar and artificial sweeteners

• Genetically modified food

• Things that require a microwave

• Alcohol

• Coffee / energy drinks

• White bread, white flower, white rice - the nutritious parts have been removed to be more visually appealing. You and your intuition don’t have time for that.

• Pasteurized dairy products

• Vegetable and canola oils and margarine

Day 278: Quinoa, roasted beets and carrots tossed in rad herby green sauce (clearly I am addicted), sautéed kale and a 6 minute egg. Huzzah!
