My little one turned 4 months old! 120 days into motherhood and I'm still trying every day to figure out how to live with a baby. Basic things like creating new content, exercising, cleaning, cooking or even washing my hair have turned into challenging tasks to complete these days. Also, living in a foreign country where getting help from others is more complex than living in my hometown of Costa Rica, where my family is.

Honestly, I'm tired of listening to the voice in my head that tells me I should be doing more right now. In the end, I'm a perfectionist, and a control freak, so it is easy for me to feel overwhelmed. But the truth is that I need to relax more and let things unfold as they come instead of trying to do it all.

So here I am again, humble by a baby who is showing me a better way to live. The one teaching me about thrusting every stage of life and reminding me how crucial it is to let go of control. Because every single day I spend with her means a practice of presence, care, service, patience and lots of joy.

The gift that my daughter Lya gave me of being her mommy is, without a doubt, the best thing that has ever happened to me 🤍

I hope you guys are doing great and thriving in life! As always, I'm sending you love 🕊

OK, I totally get you; it can get pretty challenging if you are not used to it, ha?

Since I started eating animal products, I have focused a lot on organ meat due to its tremendous nutritional value. And as liver being one of the planet's MOST nutritionally dense food with excellent bioavailability (meaning that the body absorbs and uses it very well).

But the truth is that I just couldn't get down with it. I didn't like the taste, or truthfully there was something off-putting about knowing what I was eating. I had a hard time looking at it, even 🤢

However, as I knew the amount of essential micronutrients that the liver provides in such a highly concentrated form, I realized I needed to find a way to add it to my regular diet.

After many tries and errors, my husband (yes, it is his credit) make the perfect marination to make the liver actually tasty! I have found that if you are new to eating liver and just starting to get its flavour, this combination is a great start! At least that worked for me (and now I even eat it raw! 😇)

And it is

🥁

💥 Extra virgin olive oil + maple syrup + sea salt 💥

That is all!!

Marinate it for as long as possible, so the liver absorbs this flavour.

I can promise you that the typical liver flavour is nearly gone! And it give it a better texture.

Would you try it?

Let me know! I hear you! 🤎

Love, Pia

Honey, don't overcomplicate what you eat, or you'll be setting yourself up for disaster before you even start.

Have you been scrolling Pinterest or IG, watching lots of super amazing colourful recipes, but thinking about when you have actually time to make them?

Or maybe you are just too bored with cooking food, and at the end of the day, you just eat whatever you can find? But then you feel kind of guilty you didn't give your body the best foods to thrive.

I think we all have been there, right?.

So how to maintain consistency with a wholesome eating pattern?

Well, the number one tip for me is you must KEEP THINGS SIMPLE.

That is all!

👉🏼 Think of making complete meals of 10 ingredients or less and snacks of 5 ingredients or less 👈🏼

Simple eating is having a minimalist mind, including simple ingredients, simple cooking, simple grocery shopping, and simple meal planning.

Simple foods are those that have just one single component (or very few). They are most similar to foods in their original form, with minimal processing.

👇🏼 With these simple ingredients, you can do your whole meal planning:
🍉Fruits
🍠Vegetables (the ones your body tolerates)
🦬Nose-to-tail meats
🧀Raw dairy (butter, milk, cheese, yogurt and cream)
🥚Eggs
🍚Grains (rice, sourdough or sprouted bread, rice crackers, organic tortillas, rice pasta)
🧆Legumes (sprouted)
🧈Cooking media (lard, tallow, ghee, coconut oil)
🫒Dressing (olive oil, vinegars, coconut aminos)
🥥Sugars (raw honey, real maple syrup, coconut sugar, raw sugar)
🧂Spices

That is all!

Today I'm sharing something I honestly didn't expect to happen. And even though I believe you don't have to justify to anyone what you do with your own body, I feel the immense need to communicate this here.

My long years as a vegan are over!

And as somebody who has shared so much about my own plant-based eating through the years, I don't want my upcoming nutrition information to catch you by surprise (especially to all my vegans and vegetarian friends from this cute community 💚).

After so many years without consuming animal products, what changed me? All I can say is that my health needs and ways of seeing life have changed significantly in the past years. But if anybody is interested in this topic, I uploaded a video (Youtube: Rameliving) sharing with detail why I decided to start including animal products in my diet (since one year now!), the changes I experienced in my body and mind, and which products I'm including right now.

So, if you ask me what do I follow now? Well, nothing! Because honestly, I'm somebody working as much as I can to be free of tags. I'm just an evolving being open-minded to constant change, and part of that change is a shift in my own diet and belief system. But as always, I’m certain of the nourishing power of real, wholesome food.

I still love sharing plant-based recipes for all my vegan friends out there, which I will continue doing, but some changes in all my platforms are definitely taking place.

✌🏼 Sending you love,

Pia

Ok, probably these pics would look a lot much nicer if I use the same underwear 😂 but honestly I didn’t even think about it 🤷🏻‍♀️ (fashion is definitely not my strong!).

And so, I reached the 6 months milestone pregnancy mark and here’s my month by month pregnancy evolution 💗

I truly can’t express the amount of feelings I have been having during this pregnancy. From the scariest of all, to the most amazing expansion of love I ever felt in my life.

Feeling a great blessing inside my heart, my flesh and bones for this insane amount of magic. Thank you god, thank you life, thank you little one, thank you husband, thank you family and friends, and thank you for being here sharing this joy with me.

I could never take life for granted.

Much love to all,
Pía and this little, still name-less, peanut 🌷

Creo que estas fotos se verían mucho más lindas si hubiera tenido puesto los mismos calzones 😂 pero la verdad que ni se me ocurrió! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Y así llego a los 6 meses de embarazo y aquí está mi evolución mes a mes 💗

De verdad que no se ni cómo expresar la cantidad de sentimientos que he vivido en este tiempo, desde sentir los miedos más profundos hasta la expansión de amor más grande que he experimentado en toda mi vida.

Sintiendo mucha bendición en mi corazón, carne y huesos por esta magia tan expansiva. Gracias vida, gracias Dios, gracias pequeña, gracias esposo, gracias familia y amigxs, y gracias a vos por estar compartiendo esta alegría conmigo.

Nunca podría tomar por sentado esta vida.

Mucho amor para todos,
Pia y está pequeñita que sigue sin nombre!🌷

What is the body and mind connection? 💪🏼/🧠
_
Let me share a patient's story with you:

Ana seems to have awesome life. She has a normal weight, an exciting career, a family, and good friends. So everything's great, right?

Not exactly. Ana also has lots of anxiety. She often gets angry and snaps at others for minor mistakes (especially her family). And in the last months of her life, Ana also has gained body fat, and despite her efforts to eat healthier and work out, her body does not seem to listen.

It was until Ana started with mind-body connection therapies that she could reduce her anxiety and stress hormones. Her relationship with herself and others improved, and finally, her body composition too.
_
👉🏼 Ana’s story is a great example of what we call the mind-body connection. This means that our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes can positively or negatively affect our biological functioning.

On the other hand, what we do with our physical body (what we eat, how much we exercise, even our posture) can impact our mental state (again + or -). This results in a complex interrelationship between our minds and bodies.

✨ In other words, our minds can affect how healthy our bodies are! ✨ This is why we cannot divide the body from the mind if we want to achieve optimum health.

Including regular practices like meditation, breathing, yoga, journaling, and self-inquiring worksheets can help reach optimum health in the body and the mind.

And this is why I include this holistic approach fundamentally to all my Nutrition Therapies ☺️

What you guys think about this? 🌹 I hear you!

For years I mistreated my body so much. Like many people (and maybe many of you), I put so much stress on intending to keep myself as lean as possible. 8 years of really bad eating disorders where I puke after every meal or spend many hours without feeding myself. I spent much time making detox diets and trying different ways to lose body fat. I spent decades looking at myself in the mirror, thinking that my body needed to change, and pointing out what was wrong with it.

But the truth is that I started to shift the way I was looking at my body until the last years of my life.

Until I started to lift heavy weights, I realized how fu***ng strong my body could get! Until I began to travel worldwide, I could see how far my body could take me! Until I began to practice yoga, meditation, and breathing, I could experience how my body brings me to the present moment and a calm place for my mind.

The body is just the most amazing beautiful tool and gift we could ever possibly receive. How fu***ng sweet and magical this is?!! It gives us endless possibilities for experimentation. And it makes me sad, knowing that society has given us the wrong impression of how a body should look and how easy it is to forget all the reasons we should thank our magical perfect body every single day.

Today I am grateful and in awe for my body for allowing a new life to grow inside me.

Here are my reasons why I’m so grateful with this body of mine, which ones are yours?? 👇🏼💪🏼💖💫

____________________________

Durante años he maltratado mucho mi cuerpo. Como muchas personas (y quizás muchos de ustedes), me estresé tanto con la intención de mantenerme lo más delgada posible. 8 años de trastornos alimenticios realmente malos en los que vomitaba después de cada comida o pasaba muchas horas sin alimentarme. Pasé mucho tiempo haciendo dietas de desintoxicación y probando diferentes formas de perder grasa corporal. Pasé décadas viendome al espejo señalando lo que estaba mal en él.

Pero la verdad es que empecé a cambiar la forma de ver mi cuerpo hasta los últimos años de mi vida.

If you only drink plain water during the day (and even worst, lots of black coffee), what you are doing is diluting all your precious minerals in your body and flashing them out throughout your urine.

Also, if you are limiting salt consumption in your food, you are doing the contrary of hydrating yourself.

Hydration does not come from water intake, but salt minerals! 👍🏼

Believe me, that old belief that you need 8 glasses of water a day and limit your salt in food is not working well for you.

Minerals are KING in metabolism, and it is so easy to lose them throughout the day.

Here are some recommendations, any questions, please send me a DM!

Have a great day!
much love 💛
Pia

Ps. Not all electrolytes are ideal (many of them are full of unwanted additives). The ones I add to my water are named Trace Minerals. Also, I take magnesium before sleeping and add Himalayan salt to my water when I train.

___________________________

Si sólo bebes agua sola durante el día (o aún peor, tomar mucho café negro), lo que estás haciendo es diluir todos tus preciados minerales en tu cuerpo y expulsarlos a través de la o***a.

Además, si limitas el consumo de sal en tu comida, estás haciendo lo contrario de hidratarte.

La hidratación no proviene de la ingesta de agua, ¡sino de las sales minerales que consumas! 👍🏼

Créeme, esa vieja creencia de que necesitas 8 vasos de agua al día y limitar la sal en los alimentos no te está funcionando bien.

Los minerales son ESSENCIALES en el metabolismo, y es tan fácil perderlos a lo largo del día.

Aquí te paso algunas recomendaciones, cualquier pregunta, me puede enviar un DM!

¡Que tengas un gran día!
mucho amor 💛
Pia

Ps. No todos los electrolitos son recomendables (hay muchos basura y llenos de aditivos). Los que yo le añado a mi agua se llaman Trace Minerals. Además, tomo magnesio antes de dormir y añado sal del Himalaya a mi agua cuando entreno.
