The focus of this photo is that little red flag 🚩from last night's dinner with @shannon_esti ... . Often patients express justifiable frustration that they can't enjoy meals out with friends and family due to dietary restrictions 😔. . They feel dismissed by waitstaff or even "glutenized" 😱 even though they where assured the meal would be prepared carefully to avoid gluten... or dairy, or soy, or whatever other dietary restrictions they had mentioned. . I have also often as a patron explained to wait staff why it was essential our order was free of cross contamination, and even had an all out lesson in the difference between reactivities and why it was essential to be vigilant 🧐. . 👉🏽 I even had a talk with a banquet facility manager once when the staff labeled toubeleh made with cracked wheat (bulgar) as "gluten-free" (it is NOT) 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. . So you can imagine how much I appreciate the added attention that @thesmithrestaurant gives special orders 😍. No exasperation at menu modifications, no dismissal... in fact a careful review of all ingredients and exactly how they're made given freely and precisely by the staff 🙌🏽🤓💕. . I know it's frustrating to those of you on special diets to find clean, accommodating restaurants... and those of us in places like NYC and LA probably have it easiest... . 👉🏽 But don't be afraid to stand your ground and courteously ask for what you need 💪🏽☺️. You deserve to have a nice meal out with your friends and family that you enjoy and doesn't make you sick 🤢. . Do you have favorite restaurants in your area that you love because of their dedication to clean ingredients and attention to food restrictions? . 🚩Shout them out in the comments below 👇🏽 and don't forget their location📍for those of who might be traveling! . . #foodsensitivities #cleaneating #eatingouthealthy #eatingoutketo #autoimmunedisease #autoimmunepaleo #wahlsprotocol #FxMed #nutritionist #pharmacist #foodiefarmacist #farmacynotpharmacy #eatyourveggies #nutritionmatters #FunctionalMedicine #functionalnutrition #balanceddiet #healthylifestyle #healthyeats #eatingclean #eathealthyfats #paleolifestyle #ketoeats #lowcarbdiet #glutenfreedinner

When you're craving a sandwich but you're deep into a #ketochallange with your coworkers 😂 ... . Basically what I'm saying is I just want to eat a salad with my hands #noforks 😂 Solution 👉🏽 load up that veggie wrap! . Large, sturdy leafy greens like collards and chard make awesome wraps 💪🏽. So do lettuce leaves like green leaf, red leaf, butterhead lettuce to name a few 😋 ... . I layer them actually, then I pile on MORE veggies. In this case was arugula, pickled onion, and shredded kale tossed with a lemon, olive oil, tahini dressing. . I ran out of avacodos 🥑 ... sooo I used a little extra oil and tahini for my #healthyfats. . Then I added my organic chicken sausage and viola 🙌🏽 veggie wrap "hot dog" to satisfy that "I wanna eat with my hands" craving 😂 ... . What creative inventions do you have to stay low carb 🤓? . . . #FxMed #nutritionist #pharmacist #foodiefarmacist #kitchenfarmacy #foodisfuel #brainfood #farmacynotpharmacy #eatyourveggies #kitchenlife #lowcarbideas #cleansimpleeats #ketolicious #paleosnack #paleoideas #FunctionalMedicine #functionalnutrition #nutritionblogger #nutritips #plantbasednutritionist

I get this question All. The. Time! So I had to #regram 📸 . You don't "need" dairy to get calcium🥛 - in fact the calcium that's found in dairy might be harder to absorb/use to build bones 💪🏽(though that's not really calciums only role in health...). . Meanwhile the calcium in veggies is not only absorbed better, but you're getting the synergy of the other minerals and vitamins to build a strong bone matrix and reduce inflammation at the same time 🙌🏽🤓. . But don't take my word ... here's what @drmarkhyman has to say 👇🏽 . "There’s no evidence that we need milk to strengthen our bones. ⠀ ⠀ The federal government tells us that milk is a perfect food that Americans should lap up daily, three glasses to be exact—in spite of a large (and growing) body of research showing its lack of benefits and awful side effects. I agree, it is nature’s perfect food…but only if you are a calf!⠀ ⠀ Humans are the only species that continues to drink milk after weaning. ⠀ ⠀ These dairy free options are not only better sources of calcium, but they also contain other great sources of nutrients. ⠀ ⠀ #calcium #foodasmedicine #functionalmedicine #drmarkhyman" . . . #FxMed #nutritionist #pharmacist #foodiefarmacist #farmacynotpharmacy #eatyourveggies #nutritionadvice #nutritionnerd #functionalnutrition #nutrition #paleoeats #paleolifestyle #phytonutrients #vitaminsandminerals #calciumdeficiency #calciumrichfoods #dairyfreeketo #dairyfreelife

Diving into another batch 😍 ... . Fermenting another batch of veggies 👩🏻‍🌾. Having these around is so helpful when I'm looking for a quick, crunchy, tangy, sometimes spicey way to get in some extra veggies 😁. . 🚨 Bonus: the gut promoting probiotics and prebiotic fiber 🙌🏽 ... . 👉🏽 Ridiculously easy to make: chop veggies and fill a glass jar with a good seal 3/4 way, add hot peppers, herbs, and spices to taste, fill with filtered water, add about tablespoon sea salt and raw apple cider vinegar, let sit for ~1+ week, burping daily. .

Happy mother's day to all the Mamas ❤. . This is my mama (and the adorable baby is me 😉👼🏻). . She's always been a fashionista ... and having a tom boy of a daughter must have been torture 😱😂 but she still took me to softball ⚾️ and basketball 🏀 and cheered louder than everyone else (not surprising, my mom is just as loud as me 📢 actually louder lol). . BUT she was always most proud to take me to dance class ... the girliest hobby I had (though if you're a dancer you know there's nothing "girlie" about it)💃🏽😂 ... . 👉🏽 She's also the one that inspired me to exercise, eat healthy, and emphasized the importance of #selfcare for health. . She exercised regularly🏋🏻‍♀️ ... and would drag me on long walks outside 🚶🏻‍♀️ (when I'd rather be playing Nintendo INside). . She stayed away from sugar and carbs and ate butter and olive oil back when "fat was evil" 🤔. . She talked about loading up on veggies and fruit before the term #plantbaseddiet was a thing... in fact my after school snack growing up was a bowl of fruit 🍌🍇🍓🍒and/or sliced veggies 🥕🥦🥗 ... which I was SO not a fan of at the time (I wanted lunchables and fruit in gusher and rolled-up form exclusively). . So in case you wonder where I get it from ... you can blame my Mama 😉🤓 the OG of the #cleaneating movement 💕. . Enjoy your day Mamas 😍 and remember it might not be obvious now ... but your kiddos are watching and learning from how you eat and promote your own health... And you're doing an AH-mazing job 🥰. . . #igetitfrommymama #mothersdaylove #likemotherlikedaughter👭 #nutritionist #pharmacist #foodiefarmacist #farmacynotpharmacy #eatyourveggies #nutrigenomics #genetics #nutritiongoals #Functionalmedicine #functionalnutrition #balanceddiet #healthylifestyle #healthyeats #eathealthyfats #foodisfuel
