www.becomeproof.com www.30in30.org - a free tool we have created for people to help take ownership of their health. AutoImmunity http://learntruehealth.com/autoimmunity Many people suffer from autoimmunity. But because sometimes the symptoms can be confusing, people fail to seek immediate treatment for autoimmunity. My guest today, Dr. Jared Seigler has an amazing story on how his journey led him to help people address autoimmunity conditions. Stumbled By Accident Dr. Jared Seigler relates that he stumbled into functional medicine by accident. It started when his wife was struggling to conceive for years because she was suffering from PCOS. After almost five years of searching for answers, they were even contemplating on adopting a child. But Dr. Jared Seigler refused to give up mainly since his wife was just 23 years old at the time. He was even subjected to a stool test wherein they found parasites so Dr. Jared Seigler also underwent treatment. After years of searching for answers and countless treatments, the couple was finally blessed with a daughter who is now five years old. Helminth Parasites Helminths are parasitic worms, and parasites are known manipulators of the immune system. The first time Dr. Jared Seigler got exposed to it was six years ago when one of his lupus patients called him. That patient claimed to feel better because of her dog’s licks. She was not taking any drugs nor any supplements.  “What good parasites can do, is act like a probiotic for the parasite. As they manipulate the immune system to hide from it, so the immune system doesn’t attack it, they also suppress the immune system that is causing autoimmunity,” Dr. Jared Seigler said.  He adds, “I’m not anti-parasite. When I look autoimmunity and probiotics research, it’s a hit or miss. There is even research showing that for example, Crohn’s is due to the immune system in some cases, losing tolerance to normal bacteria.” But Dr. Jared Seigler clarifies that when we see someone being given a beneficial parasite consistently, that can take away a lot of autoimmune symptoms. He says dead bacteria behaves utterly different than a live bacteria. Some of the most potent stimulators of inflammation in the gut are dead bacteria that they use in the modern dairy industry.  The Truth About Milk Dr. Jared Seigler believes the gut has to quit getting colostrum from mother’s milk. Hence, a mom has to stop breastfeeding for the gut to grow. “The premise that we need milk for health has been purely built on BS. The research goes the other way,” explains Dr. Jared Seigler. “Technically, when you look at it on a big enough scale, 100% of the world is lactose-intolerant. It takes five gallons of milk a day or a sip to be able to reset intolerance of sugars in the milk.” Understanding Autoimmunity Dr. Jared Seigler readily shares that he has autoimmunity as well as his wife. So, he clearly knows he can’t go back to eating the way he used to eat. Dr. Jared Seigler is also aware that he is not perfect just because he has changed his lifestyle to a healthier one. But he loves being a work in progress. That is why his passion lies in also helping people get their bodies to a place where they can heal. “With the whole premises of autoimmunity, there’s the genetic susceptibility component. I truly don’t believe the immune system makes a mistake with autoimmunity,” said Dr. Jared Seigler. “I believe the immune system is being tricked and overwhelmed in that scenario.”  He adds, “Once the immune system recognizes it as a problem, we have to think about what is driving certain things for autoimmunity like molecular mimicry. For molecular mimicry, the immune system initially recognizes something bad like identifying characteristics. Once it progresses, it can start epitope spreading.” Human Microbiome Project The Human Microbiome Project tries to figure out all the bacteria in our gut, and skin, as well as figuring out what all these bacteria do and how they influence our genes. Dr. Jared Seigler says bacteria pitifully outnumber us. “One of the things that the Microbiome Project started to make clearer is that it is really about the diversity of bacteria more than anything,” said Dr. Jared Seigler. Apparently, there about ten times more viruses inside the gut than there are bacteria. So, there’s a whole concept called the microbiome. Plus, there’s a microbiome where we can vividly see worms. “Someone’s microbiome is like a thumbprint. I think a lot of these companies are data-mining people’s microbiomes,” Dr. Jared Seigler said. “They are giving away these costly tests for relatively nothing. For the 23andMe, they were selling people’s genetic data to pharma companies.” Cold Showers Dr. Jared Seigler reveals that he is also a big fan of cold showers. What it does as far as glutathione production, neurotransmitter production, and microbiome change, it that we weren’t designed to be 72 degrees year-round. Just like we weren’t intended to eat the same food. He says taking cold showers changes how mitochondria functions. It also changes antioxidants, changes how our body utilizes and breaks down a lot of things as well as making people warm.  Eating Real Food Dr. Jared Seigler says as far as figuring out the cause of autoimmunity; he never blames food as long as it is real food. He believes that in the long run, probably one of the worse things someone can do is restrict a lot of their food diversity. Dr. Jared Seigler also believes that doing a three-day fast can be beneficial.  And as far as recommending the best prebiotics, he advises thinking of prebiotics as fiber. Think of fiber like fruits and vegetables. Eat different fruits and vegetables if you want different prebiotics. On the other hand, I have had Chinese medicine practitioner Sarica Cernohous on the show who attested to the benefits of eating fermented foods. Shifting her family to eat at least one fermented food a day eventually strengthened their gut. “I would rather somebody eat fermented foods than try to take it in a capsule. Because traditionally, that’s how we would get probiotics from the fermentation process,” said Dr. Jared Seigler. “It might not necessarily beat all the bacteria that’s in there, but as the bacteria is eating that food, their poop is what we’re after. They change genetic expression.” Gluten Sensitivity According to Dr. Jared Seigler, gluten sensitivity is the genetic predisposition. That is why we see such a huge correlation between autoimmunity and gluten sensitivity. Dr. Jared Seigler also mentions that he took Dr. Tom O’ Bryan and Dr. Peter Osbone’s gluten certification course. He took the classes after deciding to go gluten-free when his wife was diagnosed with celiac. “My energy and depression got better, and my anxiety and brain fog disappeared. I see people on so many different spectrums. Some people don’t even know what gluten is,” said Dr. Jared Seigler. Dr. Jared Seigler says there are even case studies of ALS being gluten sensitive with a 100% resolution upon going on a gluten-free diet. So, it eliminates the inflammation. We dramatically see that when we start to remove problematic foods. Functional Neurology Dr. Jared Seigler explains that from 0 to 6 years old, brain waves of a child is similar to how we dream or store long-term memories. It is similar to dreaming while they are awake. As soon as it happens inside of a child’s brain, their subconscious now operates on an entirely different level. And this is where you can measure some things like heart rate variability. “I love doing a thing called Functional Neurology. Most people know about functional medicine, but functional neurology is like a personal trainer for your brain. You can exercise different parts of the brain to increase its function,” said Dr. Jared Seigler. The Power Of Thoughts Dr. Jared Seigler explains that we always think food may be poisoning our autoimmune disease. So, if you’re only eating 4 to 5 times a day, you have the potential to poison yourself 4 to 5 times a day. But we have anywhere around 30,000 thoughts a day and only 1% may be bad. That’s still hundreds of times a day we poison ourselves with a thought. Technically, a toxin can be a thought or a relationship. “So, if we know that these bad thoughts have negative effects, you can feel your blood pressure rising,” Dr. Jared Seigler explains. “That’s your stress response shifting into high gear. You change your physiology with thoughts. Generosity and gratitude are the two strongest positive emotions.” A positive mindset is powerful. Dr. Jared Seigler usually advises people suffering from addiction to write on a journal and focus on what they are grateful for. “You can get over addiction by diluting it until it is socially acceptable. With an addiction to food, in particular, we can tell when somebody is ready to make a change to the question they are asking. Ultimately, the brain wants to feel normal,” said Dr. Jared Seigler. “The body has never made a mistake. It is just doing what it can in the environment that it’s in.  Bio Dr. Jared Seigler, Doctor of Chiropractic and Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, practices in West Chester, Ohio. His passion is to help his patients regain their health through Functional and Lifestyle Medicine. This personal quest was sparked by watching the health of his loved ones degrade over time while conventional medicine provided no real answers.  Initially starting as a personal trainer, Dr. Jared Seigler had an insatiable appetite for knowledge on how to better the health of his clients. This hunger for knowledge is his guiding light and has grown into what we offer at the Living Proof Institute.  By helping patients identify the cause of their disease and giving them the tools to regain their health, Dr. Jared Seigler cannot only compliment his patient’s current healthcare but fill the gaps left by conventional medicine.  In his spare time, Dr. Jared Seigler likes to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with his wife and family.

Funky Food; fermented & predigested options with healthy food strategies with Sarica Cernohous. She is a Traditional Chinese Medical Doctor, Wellness Strategist and best selling author of The Funky Kitchen, and its accompanying online course, “Fresh, Fun and Flavorful in The Funky Kitchen.”   Sarica guides people toward developing an enhanced and individualized understanding of how to eat in harmony with their constitution (body/mind/spiritual makeup) and to stay well or get well from disease and stress. Sarica and Dr. Berkson engage in a lively discussion on what is fermented food, what is “authentic” or “fake” fermented food. How today’s wine and beer are different than hundreds of years ago. What fermentation does to proteins, carbs and food structure and why this makes a huge difference in health and allergenic load. They discuss how not eating in-between meals is a huge healing habit, yet most Americans “nosh” themselves into excess calories, obesity, disease and dementia. Sarica and Dr. B go into depth about candida organisms. We discuss the different states when candida is in harmony with us versus at war with us. We discuss eating to “humanize” ourselves, rather than promote dehumanizing ourselves. The American cultural is addicted to excess. If a little is good, then more is better. This addiction to excess even applies to smoothies. We discuss why more food simplicity is critical for us all, adults and young kids alike. Turns out that eating food is part of good food hygiene. Not eating food for long enough is also part of it. We usually don’t look at food from this critical perspective.  S and Dr. B debate bone broth, which growing in use so much, it is getting neck-and-neck with coffee as an American beverage. Yet, bone broth has both light and shadow sides. You’ll learn about these. Berkson shares her in-depth Kimchi whore house experience, and if you don’t laugh till your cry, you must already be on to your next incarnation.  If you write Berkson, you can get this famous, healthy and tasty recipe (info@drlindseyberkson.com). You’ll also learn: How to use a Snapple bottle top to help promote healthier circulation and promote body/mind integration, through upping “Gua sha” — and why should you care, what is “predigestion” and how do traditional fermented foods play a role in chronic disease, how much fermented food is healthy to eat, how to take baby steps if you are just beginning to clean up your diet and consume fermented foods, what are the “real” and “non-real” sour dough’s, what should labels say to tell you what’s good for your gut or if the food is truly fermented, which fermented foods—like sauerkraut—should you never eat and where do they “live” in grocery stores, and why isn’t this information widely discussed if it’s so important? You will be pretty stunned to learn that almost everybody has some degree of “leaky gut” after most meals, but the issue is the degree. This natural phenomena, that drives nourishment into our blood stream so the gut wall has to open up to a certain degree, is scientifically called “post-prandial bacterial translocation” and sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad.  Fermented foods can reduce the “bad” version. PS: Gua Sha means "scraping till you create bruising" and is a traditional Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped to create light bruising which stimulates blood flow and healing. Best news, you can do this on yourself or your loved ones. The benefits, according to Sarica, are pretty instantaneous. Sarica Cernohous shares recipes and health articles on her website, NaturallyLivingToday.com.

In today's episode, Sarica and I get a chance to swap ideas based on our mutual love for Chinese Medicine, including how the foods we eat impact our life experience. Sarica shares her thoughts on the lost art of traditional food preparation and why it's so important. We discuss different types of foods as well as preparation methods such as soaking and fermentation. Sarica Cernohous is a Whole-food Nutrition and Natural Lifestyle Consultant as well as a Practitioner of Japanese-style Acupuncture and Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine Theory and Herbal Medicine. Sarica's real-life, practical knowledge of going beyond organic and healthy ingredients and reaching deeper into the largely-forgotten and yet incredibly potent health benefits of traditional food preparation offers up a “missing link” in the wellness equation.  Her warm presence, infused with her background in Traditional Chinese Medicine and interwoven with modern-day findings, makes for an engaging presentation of the simplicity of how these processes can be implemented into our everyday, busy lives. “Our bodies are super smart…they will always allocate resources to the places that are most stressed and most important to our livelihood.” – Sarica Cernohous On Today's Episode of A Healthy Curiosity: Why is it important to get back to traditional food preparation? Modern culture has come to expect certain nutrients in our foods. Bone broth – soothing, healing and incredibly easy to digest. The benefits of soaking and fermentation. How lectins can lead to digestive issues including leaky gut syndrome. Looking at the energetic quality of the food we are eating.   Key Takeaways: There's more to food than the micro- and macro- nutrients. When digestive systems arise, going back to the basics can be the best solution. Pre-digestion steps like soaking and fermentation can be the missing link in vitality for so many people. Keep meals simple – avoid complex meals.    Resources Mentioned: www.naturallylivingtoday.com The Funky Kitchen (http://funkykitchenfresh.com/)    Connect with Sarica Cernohous: Facebook Twitter     Get Our Self-Care Manifesto You have the right to take care of yourself.

http://www.jenniferpowter.com/008/ The other week I was teaching a workshop to 25 women who were under 40 years old  (they were new moms) and I asked the question, “Who here feels like their mom taught them how to cook?” Only ONE woman put up her hand!! I was shocked, but not really as it supported the fact that we are now spending more money on take-out and restaurant food than we are on groceries. No wonder we’re in a health crisis! In a study published in the journal BMJ Open, scientists found that nearly 60% of an American’s daily calories come from “ultraprocessed” food,  and only 1% of their calories from vegetables!! This is exactly why Sarica Cernohous and I are talking Simple Food Prep Tips in this podcast episode!! We need to spend time in the kitchen. We need to cook real food. AND, it doesn’t have to be hard or complicated.  In this episode you will… Learn what traditional food prep is – (it’s not as complicated as you might think) Hear the debate around “Ancestral Eating” – crazy or the cure for the health crisis North America is in? Understand how Traditional Chinese Medicine could benefit you Know what you should eat  first thing in the morning (no, it’s not coffee – you can have it, but eat this first!) – this is especially helpful for women Realize how we’re culturally set up to fail and what you need to do to succeed with your health goals

Metabolic Balance http://learntruehealth.com/metabolic-balance/ The Metabolic Balance Program Metabolic Balance is a plan from Germany that's been in use for over two decades. Sarica Cernohous tells us how this is effective for detox and weight loss. I'm so glad to have Sarica Cernohous back on the show. We had so much to talk about the last time she was on my podcast.  A lot of people have benefited from her LAPIS technique. And now she is releasing a re-write of her book, The Funky Kitchen. "It means so much to me that people listen to me. With the LAPIS Method and the Funky Kitchen, I feel like I distilled it through my filter." said Cernohous. Striving for Optimal Health I totally can relate to what Cernohous wants to achieve.  Through my podcast, my primary aim was also to educate people on how to be healthy the natural way.  We're all striving for optimal health. I was introduced to fermented foods way back early on by a pharmacist. I wasn't really big on that then and I didn't even know the health benefits. That all changed when I interviewed Cernohous. "The flavor profile of these types of foods does not say 'Eat a ton of me'. It says, 'Have a little bit. I'm nice compared to the other things you're eating'. The flavors of these foods are unique," said Cernohous. Cernohous says a person can follow her suggested techniques. But because of the landscape, the taste will differ. Finding Out About Metabolic Balance "When I was at the early stage of promoting my book, I can to know about this program from Germany. Metabolic balance," Cernohous said. "It felt like the perfect bridge between being a person who fermented everything. And really where most people needed to be in relation to food, vitality & wellness." Internist and nutrition expert Dr. Wolf Funfack is the founder of the program. He developed the Metabolic Balance system with Sylvia Bürkle, who is a graduate Engineer of Nutrition and Food Technology. Their company, Metabolic Balance GmbH & Co. KG was established in 2002 in Isen, Germany. Cernohous explains that the plan is pretty new to the United States. She says it is based on a person's lab values, healthy history, and health goals. The plan basically treats food as a medicine for the body. Committing To The Program "We have to be strict with the foods in the plan. In Germany, they will not create the plan for the person if there are too many stipulations. There's a limit to how many things we can restrict," explains Cernohous. What's amazing is that even with calorie restriction, we can still have weight issues. Because it's what the calorie is made of. There are so many factors to consider. Plus, we're exposed everyday to toxins like estrogen-disrupting chemicals. So our bodies are in effect, fighting to detox. We're not increasing our nutrient load to compensate for the toxic environment that we're living in. "My patients step into a completely different frame on mind. Instead of just focusing on their weight, the goal now is, 'How to continue to make myself feel better'", said Cernohous. She further explains, "Every body's optimized weight is completely different. My interest is helping people be the best person for themselves. That's an evolution that comes as we unearth these patterns of cellular information." The LAPIS Method to Eliminating Cellular Inflammation Initial Phase I personally love the idea of mono-diet cleansing as the initial phase. It is nourishing and gentle on the body.  It is a neutral blood sugar diet.  Basically, it's a nice balance. Phase Two After the first phase next is the Modified Phase 2. Modified Phase 2 is when you are working with the foods that have been selected for you.  Cernohous was quick to add that in this 12-day portion, there is no added oil. Cernohous says that once the person is off the mono-diet, their palate is much more cleaned up. She says in the Western world, we created flavor enhancers for everything which are toxic for the brain like MSG. Hence, we are training the body to recognize the spectrum of real flavor. "That also gives the body leaning on its fat reserves a bit for a longer burn on the nutrition that was consumed. That's a huge part of what we're doing," Cernohous said. "This is one of the eight and a half rules. From the completion of one meal to the next, you need to have a minimum five-hour break." Now that completely shifts my mindset. I personally have done a lot of fasting and that is such a pain in the butt. Oftentimes, I feel dizzy and sick. Cernohous' Metabolic Balance program is kicking on fast mode for short bursts. This way, it allows the body to use up all the nutrients you ate and dipping in the fat a little bit with each meal. The more detox symptoms you are experiencing when you're detoxing, it means your liver was compromised more than it should. It signifies you have depleted your nutrient reserve. Phase Three After the Modified Phase 2, Cernohous' program incorporates oil back into the diet. But it's different for every person. The patient stays in the program until they're 6 or 7 pounds shy of what the goal weight is. "Phase 3 incorporates other foods that were not in the plan. We also work with a weekly treat meal. It's new information to the body. It's good for the metabolism," says Cernohous. Phase Four Phase 4 on the other hand, is moving back into foods of everyday life. By this time, it is expected that there is body awareness towards the foods we eat. The body signals become very clear. "We are setting the stage for that healthy biome to maintain a healthy weight. The aim is to respond to the message that the body is trying to deliver," said Cernohous. I just know a lot of listeners are like me who want to try the LAPIS Method. My body will shed some weight for sure. But what I'm really excited about is getting a diverse gut biome. Because I now know so many health benefits that come with that. This lifestyle gently cleanses and detoxes everyday. Hence, we need to have pro-active stance to combat our bodies being bombarded with toxins on a daily basis.

Healing Foods http://learntruehealth.com/healing-foods LAPIS Method: http://learntruehealth.com/lapis FUNKY KITCHEN: http://learntruehealth.com/funky Cooking healthy helps optimize our weight. Pre-digestion Specialist Sarica Cernohous teaches us how cooking Healing Foods is actually fun, easy and flavorful. How our Food Choices Evolved I love traditional, holistic medicine. There is a medicine that we have been using for thousands of years. In the last 150 years, we turned away from nature to use chemical compounds. Nature will help you survive. We completely forgot that it's food that nourishes us. Food is what feeds every cell in our body.  Hence, we should learn the art of cooking healthy. Consequently, whatever we eat does have its consequences. One in four women gets cancer while one in three people are pre-diabetic. An alarming statistics is that fact that one in sixty-eight children are born with autism. Whereas 30 years ago, it was one in ten thousand. Cooking Healthy To Maximize Nutrition I have learned so much from Sarica Cernohous. Her years practicing holistic medicine, helped people shift and start cooking healthy. As a result, this maximizes the nutrition they are getting out of their food. In addition to that, it also boosts all the health benefits from just cooking right. "One of the hats I wear is the foundation of my thinking. Because it is related to my practice of traditional Chinese medicine. That's like a 5,000-year old pursuit," says Cernohous. Cernohous further explains, "When I first learned the theory of this medicine, I felt that it was a language that I had lost. It was such a common and reasonable yet sublime and powerful way of looking at the world. Hence, that has really infused in everything that I do." The Funky Kitchen If you're struggling with weight issues, there's a link between gut and healthy bacteria.  Especially relevant is that healthy bacteria in your gut helps maintain weight. Cernohous' course teaches you how to do this. Furthermore, the six-week course educates you on how to repopulate the gut with healthy bacteria by cooking healthy. This is also based off her book with the same title. "First of all, I began studying how the foods of our ancestors were prepared. It is not just about bringing healthy foods into your diet. These healing foods should be prepared in a manner to extract their maximum nutrition. Hence, the Funky Kitchen was born." A distinct factor of Cernohous' course is how to the proper preparation and benefits of fermenting foods.  She also advises to properly space out the times of your meals, preferably every five hours.  This is to give your body time to break down the nutrients. "Fermentation allows us to take a large molecule. And through the activity, it leaves out these more macro-components into their more micro-pieces," explains Cernohous. "It takes this big, obnoxious gluten protein molecule. Finally, through the enzymatic activity of fermentation, that is cleaved out to smaller amino acids." Cernohous also adds, "This creative design of life vitality wants to just express itself. It doesn't take a whole lot to begin to shift things. But it does require a commitment to doing it." These are the modules covered by the course: Week 1: Sourcing, Tools, and Overview Identifying the best tools for the kitchen Guidance on top-notch resources for the ingredients you’ll need An overview of some of the concepts and practices we’ll be covering in the weeks to come Week 2: Culturing and Fermentation Basics with Water Kefir and Yogurt Discover the #1 thing that has been missing from the foods you’re eating Go beyond the basics and learn how pre-digestion works to relieve strain on your digestive track How to make culturing and fermenting easy, safe, and affordable Week 3: Fermenting Veggies Short-ferment and long-ferment recipes with safe techniques to get the maximum nutrition with the minimum fuss How to integrate fermentation into your diet if you have health issues with your thyroid Easy ways to use the ingredients, spices, and herbs, as well as using the foods available Week 4: Nourishing Broths Discover the power of long-extracted broths to boost your health and vitality. Vegetarian recipes are also available Easy broth recipes How to extract deeply-held amino acids and collagen and put them into a delicious broth Week 5: Soaking, Fermenting and Dehydrating Nuts and Seeds Delicious preparation of  nuts and seeds The best preparation methods to eliminate the parts of nuts and seeds you don’t want to eat Easy long-term storage solutions with delicious serving ideas Week 6: Proper Preparation of Legumes and Grains This information is transformational even if you’re eliminating gluten-bearing grains from your diet. And if you are a vegetarian, this module is KEY to your healthy experience with nutrition How to properly remove anti-nutrients and how you process the grains can start to break down gluten The best ways to make the difficult-to-digest components of these foods easier to digest and put to use in your body so you get the maximum health benefit "Another thing is that grains when prepared properly, can give you a nice hold between meals. Protein is the most important in terms of what it does for the body. It's also the most challenging to put to use. Hence, keep it to one protein per meal," advises Cernohous. LAPIS Lifestyle Method This program, on the other hand, focuses on the relation between weight loss and food. This is a compilation of the best aspects of her practical and clinical experience. Especially relevant is that it is a metabolic and lifestyle restructuring for her clients.  It is basically a roadmap for living a balanced, joyful lifestyle. "This is my free webinar where I discuss why weight loss is such a struggle.  I discuss why keeping it off for the long haul is equally hard.  Finally, I suggest how real, whole foods can be the final answer to your struggles," says Cernohous. Main points of the training include: Why the usual approaches to weight loss have been such failures Why modern approaches to weight loss make it nearly impossible to keep the weight off for the long haul How to balance metabolism in 8 steps Cernohous shares, "The diversity is such an important thing. Consequently, that comes by eating a diverse diet. But eat a diet that is nutrient dense. But what I see people doing is they think nutrient dense also means 'complex'. That is not the case at all." I believe weight loss should be a by-product of the healthiest living possible.  Cernohous agrees, "And that is why I don't call it weight loss. I call it weight optimization. I'm not here to make everybody skinny. I just want you to be the best version of you."

Her formal education includes Traditional Oriental Medicine, Chinese Herbal medicine, the unique and involved theoretical construct of Asian medicine, western biomedicine, and both western and eastern perspectives on nutrition. She uses techniques such as fermentation and culturing, to low-heat dehydrating, to soaking and sprouting and the use of bone broths to create an environment suitable for optimal digestion.

If you think making nutritious homemade foods from scratch takes too much time or costs too much money, you need to know about this.    My colleague, Sarica Cernohous, wife and mother, practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and author of The Funky Kitchen, is hosting a FREE webinar on March 3rd, where she'll reveal her favorite tips and tricks for making delicious,  homemade meals using traditional food preparation techniques in less than 30 minutes a day.   Sarica explains how it’s not enough to shop for healthy food at the supermarket, or even the natural foods' store. The next step to truly vibrant health is to prepare that food in ways that make it easy to digest and absorb the most nutrients.    It’s easier than you think. Sarica will dispel the common myths and show you exactly how to get started preparing nutrient-dense foods just like your great-grandmother did.    Your family is going to love this.    Register and reserve your spot for this complimentary training now:   https://fo216.isrefer.com/go/fkf/SHolbrook   Imagine coming home from a busy day to a house that smells divine with a warm, home-cooked meal.     Imagine the vibrancy you and your family would feel, eating nutritious meals that contain ingredients you choose—rather than what is dictated by food manufacturers and takeout restaurants, where their first concern is costs and the bottom line—not your health!     Imagine creating meals in less time than it takes to stop in at the deli counter at the grocery store or sitting in your car for takeout—and at a fraction of the cost.     Imagine the energy and clarity you would feel, eating truly nutritious foods regularly, to fuel your body in a way that shake mixes, energy bars, boxed, canned and frozen foods can never match.     This can be your life when you learn Sarica’s 3 secrets of creating wholesome, homemade foods in much less time than you would imagine.   And these methods save money, too!    I can’t think of anything more basic and powerful than fueling our bodies at every meal with real foods, made with nourishing ingredients—this is foundational to all other efforts we do for ourselves and our families.     Do yourself a favor and reserve your spot on this free training now.  https://fo216.isrefer.com/go/fkf/SHolbrook

Sarica Cernohous is a licensed acupuncturist in Arizona and California, having attained her Master’s of Science degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 2001. Her formal education encompassed not only acupuncture, but Chinese Herbal medicine, the unique and involved theoretical construct of Asian medicine, western biomedicine, and both western and eastern perspectives on nutrition. It was during this experience that she began to grasp a much deeper appreciation for the traditional ways of studying and implementing whole food nutrition. Some years into practicing, she came upon what for her would be a transformative book, “The Maker’s Diet” by Jordan Rubin. The information in the book—based upon the concept that we should eat foods more in alignment with the foods our ancestors consumed--became a catalyst for even greater change in her approach to nutrition, and her respect for the power it holds. She began to see her kitchen not as a place of sheer consumption, but rather, a venue for creation and study. Beginning with using alternatives to pasteurized cow’s milk, then moving into making yogurt and kefir, and next onto soaking and sprouting beans, her experiences in traditional methods sparked further questions and continued interest in their functionality. And this interest continues today! A member of the Weston A. Price Foundation and the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, she now teaches on these methods and the reasons for them. From fermentation and culturing, to low-heat dehydrating, to soaking and sprouting and the use of bone broths, her commitment and passionate respect for these methods have become a cornerstone of her practice. She uses these techniques daily in the care of her family, and is always building upon the knowledge she has gleaned both formally and on the counters of her kitchen, to push the envelop of understanding about the functionality of these techniques in our busy, modern lives. She shares many of her recipes and insights on her website, naturallylivingtoday.com.
