Did you know that the health of your intestines affects your moods, behavior and brain health? Feeding your body delicious fermented foods and drinks is a great way to boost your brain-body connection. It also has 10 live and active cultures for good bacteria. It has less calories than yogurt or skim milk, and only 3 grams of sugar (versus 9 for plain yogurt…yogurt is high in lactose, which we slowly lose the enzyme after childhood to break this down…”lactose intolerance”). Instead of yogurt for your protein smoothie or an addition to the “Healthified” Granola…try this. I get A LOT of questions about yogurt…even the plain Greek yogurt has too much sugar for me. Unsweetened Almond milk = 35 calories, 1g carb, 0g sugar

Skim Milk = 90 calories, 13g carbs, 13g sugar “Healthified” Cereal = 211 calories, 16g fat, 15.6 g protein, 4.2g carbs, 1.6 g fiber Post Cereal = 220 calories, 3g fat, 3g protein, 45 carbs, 2g fiber Break pieces apart and enjoy with unsweetened almond milk. Let cool in the cookie tin (it will crisp up A LOT). Remove from the oven and gently stir while still hot. Bake for 12-20 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a cookie sheet with defined edges or the butter will leak off. Add in butter and water with a blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine sweetener, almond flour, whey, extract and food coloring in a small bowl. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (170 degrees C). To read more on what to eat to get your Human Growth Hormone as high as possible, check out the charts on foods, exercise and supplements in my book: Secrets to a Healthy Metabolism.ġ tsp stevia glycerite (omit if using Swerve)ġ tsp Natural Red Food Coloring (if desired) Our fat burning hormone is called the Human Growth Hormone… and guess what? Its antagonist is insulin! So as you continue this cycle of high carb, low fat foods, you never get a natural surge of growth hormone and never get the opportunity to burn fat….you just burn sugar. You are no longer the person you once were. So now we have a very high level of insulin in our blood! And what goes too high, eventually and quickly goes too low…enter: low blood sugar = cravings, moodiness, hunger, low energy, lightheadedness… you grab any carb you see to satisfy your body’s desire and the cycle happens all over again. So when I read Diabetes Pamphlets that recommend low fat foods and MARGARINE, I get more than upset! Most often the writers of these food guide pamphlets are the pharmaceutical company pushing their drugs! Go figure! They don’t want you to get better they wouldn’t be one of the most profitable companies in America anymore. When this happens, the cells are incapable to respond to the insulin that is already in the blood therefore, an additional surge is created even though enough insulin is already present.

The problem is when you live in America and are surrounded by trans-fat (Jiff Peanut Butter, Saltine Crackers, Cereals, Frozen Pizzas, Ice Cream Cones), a crust forms around your cells by consuming these harmful trans-fat. If you have a healthy body, this process works great. About 30 minutes after eating, our body measures the sugar levels in our blood to determine if it needs to produce additional insulin. When insulin can’t bind with the cell, the insulin stays in the blood.
