RESOURCE GUIDE TOPICS

include the following and more:

SOURDOUGH

This is the one type of bread I could eat and I tell you why in my resource guide. In high school, I took a sourdough bread making class from House of Bread. Little did I know, later in life, this would be the only bread I could eat for a time. Why is sourdough a bread that most can eat even if they have gut issues? We will discuss topics such as this in my Resource Guides.

SARDINES

The little fish that could. Is fish a superfood? Which ones have amazing effects? What's the science and research say? Why sardines? How about shrimp? Salmon? Halibut? Farmed or wild caught? Let's break it down to its elemental. Let's talk fish oil supplements too - including cod liver oil, krill oil, and more. My Resource Guides help illuminate the seafood strengths and precautions.

MUSHROOMS

Friend or foe? Be careful, but dive in to the amazing magic of mushrooms and the world of fungi. In Seattle I went with trained farmers to wild harvest chanterelle mushrooms and then cook them to cater a wedding. Read about mushroom science and discover the intelligence and communication within these superfoods. It seems to be a new frontier for discovery!

DAIRY

Friend or foe? It depends. My experience is that the industry has changed with the rise of mega dairies. Smaller operations with practices that produce the beneficial outcomes make the difference in my opinion. Let's look at the ways different people and companies do dairy, including those in other countries, and how the dairy industry has changed over time - for better or worse.

SALT

Friend or foe? Let's look at table salt, Himalayan pink salt, Celtic salt and everything else in between. Did you know salt was a commodity and this is where we get the word "salary" from? Did you know many roads in America were formed after the herds created a natural path to the salt licks? We need salt, so what is the deal with salt? Let's look at salt from the ancients to the modern in harvest techniques and discoveries.

FARMS

What is a farm? Can we farm in the cities? At home? Indoors? Yes, yes, and yes. What is a victory farm? Do seeds make a difference? Does soil make a difference? Do regulations and laws make a difference? What's the difference between farm to table in America and farm to table in Europe? Does it all affect my gut health? Let's look at my experiences with foods in others countries and in America.

WATER

Let's explore drinking water and the many ways we are sold. What's the "right" type of filtration? Are the expensive brands worth it? Whole house filters, reverse osmosis, rocks, sole water, and more. How many different ways can we water? Who remembers drinking water from the hose in the 70's? Water piping and storage - can it affect our health for good or bad? Let's have discussions.

TONICS

With names like "Fire Water" and "Cyclone Cider" tonics have been around since the ancient times. With ingredients like honey, apple cider vinegar, cayenne, garlic, ginger, and more, tonics have been studied and also put to the test with trial and error as home remedies. Tonics are defined by Oxford Languages as: a medicinal substance taken to give a feeling of vigor or well-being. Let's learn more on the promises of tonics.
