Hormones play an essential role throughout the body. They travel through the bloodstream, delivering messages that tell the organs what to do. Hormones are significant for regulating most major bodily processes, so when you have an imbalance you can start to feel a bit wonky. You might have difficulty sleeping, odd weight changes, headaches, bloating, the list goes on. We lean towards the ‘food is medicine’ mantra as our main approach for natural remedies to balance your hormones. We then add in the support of trusted supplements when needed.

Introducing the carrot salad. Simple yet mighty! Famous among many health-conscious people, Dr. Ray Peat has eaten a raw carrot salad for 20 years, to keep his digestion healthy. Today we’re showing you how to make a truly cleansing, raw carrot salad. A delicious take on Dr. Ray Peat’s recipe! 1 big carrot shredded lengthwise 2. tbsp Olive oil or MCT oil 3. 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar... 1 clove of garlic Salt to taste Raw carrots are extremely good at improving digestion. Since carrots grow underground, they produce anti-microbial and anti-fungal substances that protect them from their environment. Therefore when raw carrots are eaten they can clean the intestine from bad bacteria and fungus. Dr. Ray Peat’s carrot salad consists of raw carrots, grated lengthwise so that long fibers are created. Just eating 1-2 raw carrots per day has a beneficial effect on digestion, which improves overall health as digestion is closely connected to the body’s overall health status.

You had me at no constipation Honestly, I can’t be the only one that’s excited about this right?!

Enter in MegaFood’s Blood Build...er - this stuff is where it’s at ladies! It combats my fatigue, it improves my energy levels, and it gives me that iron boost I need WITHOUT causing constipation! *insert oohs and ahhs here* But don’t take my word for it try it for yourself!
