Why is my body turning against me?

By Kelly · Leave a Comment

Why is My Body Turning Against Me?

Seven years ago, my body turned against me. At least that’s what it felt like. It was as if a war was slowing beginning to rage inside me.

My body was angry. It was sick. It was tired.

If fact, I felt like it wasn’t even my body at all anymore, it was like a complete stranger. I didn’t understand it. It scared me. I wanted my old body back.

Why is this happening? What did I do? Why is my body turning against me?

Maybe you’ve felt this way – trapped inside an illness-ridden body you just don’t understand anymore.
Maybe you’ve felt hopeless, afraid, frustrated about your health?
Maybe you have a child, or a spouse, or another loved one, who is experiencing a battle with their health – allergies, illness, pain?
Maybe your health is good, yet you worry – will it always be? What can I do to safeguard my health? And what about my family’s health – can I really do something to make a difference?

With so many toxins in our environment, a broken food system that falsely elevates processed and refined foods as wholesome, and “popping a pill” as the cultural norm for treating illness, it can be completely overwhelming to figure out just HOW to take control of your health (and your family’s).

How do I find the path that leads to better health? What steps do I take first on my healthy living journey? Who can really help me?

These questions and MORE played over and over again in my mind as I prayed to the Lord – “help me know what I should do?” There has to be a better way!

Thankfully, the Lord brought precious PEOPLE into my life who taught me about true health – centered on eating the foods God created to nourish us and using the natural remedies He created for healing.

The picture above is me and my family (on left) with our dear friends Rich and Annie from One Body for Christ. They graciously took me under their wing and helped to set me on the path to healthy living.

 

Of course, the people God has placed in my life have come in all forms – some have been tangible friends that I can meet with over a cup of tea and tap into their wisdom in person. While many, many others have come in the form of online friends who speak to me through their books and blogs.

We all need GOOD FRIENDS! We all need HELP! We all need each other!

That’s the lesson I learned that helped me to begin making great strides in my own personal healthy living journey. It was the realization that there are so many on this same journey who are farther along than I – who have so many resources to help! This knowledge gave me the courage and hope to wrap my trembling arms around my weak, sick body and say … “it’s okay, we’re going to figure this out together with a little help from our friends, and our gracious Lord!”

So, dear reader-friends, when I get just a wee-bit overly enthusiastic about amazing resources like The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle, it’s because I’ve personally experienced the power of knowledge – of gaining insight from the wisdom of others … of realizing we’re not alone in our health struggles, or in our desire to see our families live healthier!

Tapping into the minds of those who have walked the path of healthy living and who are willing to teach us from their experience and wisdom is an amazing BLESSING!

I can’t think of where we could possibly get a better collection of healthy living resources to educate, inspire, motivate and encourage us at such an affordable price. That’ why I promote The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle each year.

Please note, THIS SALE HAS ENDED. But please do read more about my story in the ABOUT THE NOURISHING HOME section of this site. Thank you!

This library of healthy living resources is one I personally use and recommend because it covers so many important topics that answer so many of those questions churning round-n-round in our minds and in our hearts.

 

motionmailapp.com

From 70+ eBooks to 7 eCourses to $200 in free products, there is no stone left unturned in this bundle. To help you see what I mean, I’ve included an overview below of the resources provided in The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle.

Again, it’s like having a ton of wise FRIENDS sitting right there with you, talking you through what it really means to live a healthy, nourishing life.

As someone who has personally walked the often rocky, twisty-turny, uphill path from chronic pain and illness to a healthier more joyful life, I can tell you that we all need a little (sometimes A LOT) of HELP to get there.

Will The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle lead you to “the ultimate perfect life?” – No, only Jesus Christ truly provides us with the hope and means to experience the perfect life yet to come.

But I can promise you that resources like these can empower you to take positive steps forward in your healthy living journey and each step forward will ultimately make a real difference in your health today and in the years to come!

Thank you!

Thank you for allowing me to share just a little about my own health journey. I hope to share more details soon, Lord willing, with the hope that it will inspire others to trust in Christ more as they struggle with taking charge of their health. Because ultimately, true health and healing comes from the Lord and although He gives us wisdom and discernment to make wise choices about our health, let’s never forget to rest in Him and His perfect grace!

Joyfully serving HIM (and you), Kelly

Grab-n-Go Pancake Muffins: A Healthy Breakfast on the GO!

By Kelly · 26 Comments

1-pancake-muffins-HEROhoriz

As much as we strive to gather around the table together for meals, there are times when our busy schedules keep us going in different directions. If it’s not busy school or work schedules, then it’s a variety of sports and other activities that keep us moving … and most likely you and your family as well!

Yet, even on busiest of mornings, there’s no need to compromise on good nutrition. Thankfully, there’s always time for a quick, healthy breakfast with these delicious and fun gluten-free “grab-n-go” pancake muffins.

These easy-to-make muffins are a new spin on my popular almond flour pancakes. So, they’re not only delicious, they’re chock-full of good nutrition too! That’s because they’re made with wholesome real food ingredients like blanched almond flour, which is a good source of protein and fiber.

Of course, my favorite part about this recipe is how easy these muffins are to make – just place the ingredients into your blender, give them a whirl, add some fresh berries and you’re ready to bake!

Plus these simply delicious muffins keep beautifully in the fridge, making breakfast even quicker since they can easily be reheated in just a matter of minutes!

Three cheers for an easy, delicious and healthy breakfast on the run!

Pancake Muffins on the Go (GF, DF)

Yield: 8 muffins

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plain whole milk or coconut milk yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil), melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 3/4 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup diced strawberries
  • 1/4 cup whole blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 8 muffin cups in a 12-cup muffin tin with coconut oil. Set aside.
  2. Place all of the liquid ingredients except the eggs into a blender or food processor. Then place all of the dry ingredients on top. Cover and blend on low 10–15 seconds just until well combined. (Batter will be thick.)
  3. Add the eggs and blend on low about 15–20 seconds, then increase to high and blend 20–30 seconds, just until eggs are incorporated into the batter. (Do not overmix or muffins will not be tender.)
  4. Transfer the muffin batter to a bowl and fold in the berries. Evenly divide the pancake muffin batter among the greased muffin cups.
  5. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until slightly golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow muffins to cool 2–3 minutes in the tin. Then run a knife around the edges of each cup and invert the pan over a sheet of parchment to remove.

Notes

These pancake muffins store well in the fridge for 3–4 days. To reheat, simply place in a 200°F oven for 3–5 minutes, until warm.

What’s it like to be a Food Blogger?

By Kelly · Leave a Comment

As many of you know, I’m a monthly contributor at Keeper of the Home. This month, Stephanie asked her team to share “A Day in the Life” story. Last year, I shared “A Day in the Life of a Meal Planner,” which many of you seemed to enjoy.

This year, since I’ve been working so hard on developing more than 100 new recipes for my upcoming grain-free cookbook, I thought it would be fun to share “A Day in the Life of a Food Blogger” with you all.

So if you’ve ever wondered just exactly what? goes on behind the scenes here at The Nourishing Home, come join me to find out. [Get the scoop here …]

P.S. The lovely fall-inspired napkins featured in these photos are courtesy of my friends at Hen House Linens. I just adore their beautiful table linens, and even more so, their mission to make mealtimes special by adding a touch of warmth and beauty to the table.
