About Me

My name is Crystal and I decided to do a blog to talk about my struggle with Lyme Disease, what helped and didn't help, and to share how important it is what we put into our bodies. I just recently updated new information. Through my 3+ year illness I learned so many things that I would love to share with you! I found a good fit for me was an 80% raw diet, gluten free, and detox, detox along with treatments. I want to see you feeling good and living your true potential so you can live your dreams! Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor. The information on this blog is based on research, conversations with others in the health industry,and my own personal experiences. If your seeking a formal medical diagnosis, or contemplating any major dietary change, I suggest you speak with a health care provider.

Making soup in a blender

 In the blender we put water, cashews, purple cabbage, red peppers, zucchini, onions, sweet potato, carrots, and spices. Wow it was gourmet! The best soup I have ever tasted! Soup in seconds!
 The salads had arugula, and organic greens with cucumbers, tomatoes, avocados, zucchini, shredded raw cheese and salmon on the side with flax seed crackers. Homemade dressing made with coconut vinegar, olive oil, soup base, cumin, ginger, tumeric, cayanne pepper.
Last night for dinner we had the most incredible soup and salads! If you have a good blender( I recommend blendtech) you can fill it with vegetables and goodies and blend away until thick and creamy like soup and the blender will actually heat it for you. It pours out steaming! How cool is that for a fast dinner. I will be putting up some videos soon on how to make fast healthy meals, since we all have crazy schedules!

Prevention for Illness

There are many things that we can do for prevention from getting sick. The phrase " you live to eat" should actually be " you eat to live!" You are what you eat! The change might not be over night but you can start with adding more greens to your diet and checking your PH with PH strips to make sure you are not too acidic. Your body will start craving good food. I noticed this that when I cut out sugar and had a green smoothie a day that if I hadn't had my greens for the day I would crave it like a candybar! Crazy! Your body will be running on all cylinders and can fight off bacteria and infection much easier. So start today!
