'You are not going to survive in this family if you don't like eggs Sofia,' say her brothers. We do go through alot of eggs. Chris Morley kiboshed the chicken coop idea during Covid.

I made these pancakes when the boys were little; a great breakfast for those toddler years. Those little boys became big and although they still love eating them, they are a side to their main breakfast if I make them.

Now enter Sofia.... she insists she doesn't like eggs. 🤨 It doesn't matter how they are cooked she says. However, she loves paleo pancakes, made with eggs. So they have come back as a staple but the deal is that she has to help, especially the days I am running off to work early.

1 large egg is about 6 grams of protein.

Guidelines say 0.8 grams /kg of body weight per day is what we need for basic needs. I round up to 1 g/kg for most people and then my athletes need more depending on their sport/needs etc. That may look like 1.2 to 1.6 g/kg/day. NOT per pound, per kilogram of weight.

2 eggs, 1 small banana, 2 tbsp almond flour, mash, and make into pancakes on skillet with some coconut oil.

You can make more at once and keep in the fridge for a couple days.

Captured the day. Takes prepping and planning. The food has to be available. The conversation of food as fuel can take years. But the last couple of years has shown me it is worth it. I knew it in theory but to see it play out IRF is amazing. He can do it himself and can make good choices. 💓

For reference Owen is around 135 lbs, 5'8 and just turned 14. Strength in the morning for an hour and 3 hr baseball practice at night.... He has to eat enough, he has to eat enough early in the day to make it through the practice, he has to eat enough protein for his weight and goals, and enough carbs for a power sport for good fuel and recovery.

Eggs for breakfast, protein shake after workout, lunch was leftovers (chicken and squash and broccoli and rice), greek yogurt and granola and some fruit, dinner was in the car on the way to practice (chicken, sweet potato and salad), protein bar at practice, and overnight oats and avocado key lime pie after practice. Not captured is the slice of pizza after practice by his ride home (you know who you are 😉).

Ok let's go! This is going to be fantastic! Come and hang out with me for the day and listen to a wonderful lineup of women talking longevity. I am chatting fiber, blood sugar, and brain health!

Midlife is a metabolic turning point. I am going to explain how dietary fiber, blood sugar stability, and insulin sensitivity influence cardiometabolic and cognitive risk across the decades. You will leave with practical, evidence-based strategies that support metabopic resilience, brain health, and long-term disease prevention.

April 25th. 9 to 3. St. Joseph's Banquet & Conference Centre in Oakville. Lunch and great conversations. ❤️

Bonus healthy holiday tips:

1. Balance blood sugar! Make sure your meals and snacks have protein, fiber, and healthy fats to balance blood sugar, which will keep you happy and satisified.

2. Holiday stress directly impacts digestion through the gut-brain axis. Simple supports include deep breathing before meals to get your nervous system into rest and digest mode. Try to have earlier dinners to support circadian rhythms.

3. The liver works overtime during the holidays processing rich foods and maybe more sugar and alcohol. Try to include bitter foods like radicchio, arugula, and dandelion to support. You could even start the day off with warm lemon water. And of course prioritize those cruciferous veggies that we talked about over the last couple weeks!

Today is day 12! And our final veggie is a vitamin C powerhouse. We end our series with the vibrant red pepper.

Few people know that a red pepper has more vitamin C than an orange and because of this, it is wonderful for immunity and collagen production.  I remember a patient told me once that in her country they put red peppers in their sauces to ward off misfortune!

Today's dinner feature is a fun stuffed red pepper with turkey, herbs, brown rice, and tomatoes. It will look fancy but again easy to make and assemble.

On the 11th day of Christmas, zucchini takes the stage. Zoodles with homemade basil pesto and sauteed shrimp makes a light but nutrient-packed dinner!

Zucchini is a hydrating VERSATILE veggie! You can put in a stir-fry, in a chili or stew, or even in a smoothie to add a hydrating , fibrous kick!

Day 10 highlights one of the most underrated winter veggies- cabbage! Try this turkey cabbage stir-fry with sesame-ginger sauce for a gut-supportive, low inflammatory dinner. You can use green or purple cabbage in this recipe but red cabbage always offers up the most nutrition.

Cabbage is another one of those cruciferous veggies that is fabulous in supporting estrogen metabolism. Cabbage is also a great source of prebiotics and then when fermented is a great source of probiotics. Think sauerkraut or kimchi!

Well this is about as good as it is going to get tonight after 10 takes with these 2. 😑

Beets are a root veggie that supports liver function and boosts blood flow. Beets are packed with plant nitrates. Your body turns these nitrates into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps blood vessels relax, supports healthy blood pressure and delivers more oxygen to your muscles and brain. This is why some athletes swear by beet juice before training to help them perform better and recover faster. 💪

Tonight’s dinner features roasted beets over wild rice with arugula and goat cheese. However, our most typical way is boiling, peeling, dicing, and then combining with horseradish, lemon juice, and sea salt

Day 8 features asparagus! Asparagus is a diuretic and rich in prebiotic fibres!

For today's dinner I have paired it with a lemon-herb cod for a simple, mineral -rich dinner. Wonderful kidney supportive veggie that you gut also loves!

On the 7th day of Christmas, the spotlight is on CARROTS. This carrot-ginger lentil soup is warming, immune-supportive, and perfect for keeping digestion grounded during the holiday rush!

Carrots are high in carotenoids. Carotenoids are converted to vitamin A in the body, which is key for immunity, and skin, and eye health! Carrots are also high in prebiotic fiber, which help grow good bacteria (or probiotics), therefore improving gut health.
