Hi, Elijah.

If it's not too personal, I'm wondering how many people close to you currently have or have had cancer?

I currently have a close neighbor friend with Stage 4 lung, bone, and thyroid cancer, another neighbor with colon cancer, a dear childhood friend who's my age with triple negative ductal carcinoma (breast cancer), and a close friend's mother also with Stage 4 cancer.

My uncle died at the end of 2018 at the age of 65 from colon cancer.

And then there's my mom who beat Stage 2 breast cancer 8 years ago.

Honestly, we all know at least one and usually more people dealing with cancer.

No disease on the planet affects more people, gets more attention or creates more emotion than Cancer.

We have to work together to understand the root cause of it and how we can prevent it and assist with the treatment of it using diet, lifestyle, detoxification & cellular rejuvenation methods, stress management, and appropriate self care.

Cancer is big business in the U.S. and the pharma companies benefit tremendously from it. My neighbor's medication is $15,000 per month.

There are also a myriad of holistic protocols you can do from the comfort of your own home, truly nourishing and cleansing yourself to prevent and assist in the treatment of cancer that are a mere fraction of that cost which positively impact the way you feel immediately.

I am not saying NOT to get traditional medical treatment. I know it has saved millions of lives, but I do suggest weighing your options first and taking the power that you have available to you to learn and improve your diet, exercise, and lifestyle in highly customized ways that help your cells thrive by creating an enriched environment in which cancer cannot thrive.

That's why I'm sharing this FREE 9-part online docu-series with you today called The Answer to Cancer.

You Can Watch The Trailer Here

My colleague and long-time documentary filmmaker, Jeff Hayes produced this docu-series from his heart. It hits so close to home for him as he lost his mom to cancer at age 11. Then he had a child pass away from cancer at age 12.

As I said, no disease on the planet affects more people and the disease is only growing.

The Answer to Cancer delivers the WHOLE truth about cancer like never before.

Jeff is using his skillset and connection to the most brilliant minds in the health and wellness industry who are on the forefront of cancer treatment to help people STOP losing the people they love to this disease.

Please take the time to tune into this most important and life-changing online event and to share it with those you love.

Sign up here. You'll be so glad you did.

With gratitude,

Christa

Nature's Beauty Tonic . Crunchi Lipgloss & Facial Cream

Castor Oil: Nature''s Beauty Tonic

Hey Elijah,

DIY beauty has become a bi-weekly thing in my house during quarantine once my little guy goes to sleep.

I wanted to share one of my newest beauty hacks for aging gracefully that helps soften crow''s feet as well as tightens skin around the eyes.

On today's episode of Food as Medicine, we show you a safe, effective, inexpensive, and easy beauty tool that has been used for 6,000 years.

It's Castor Oil - an ancient oil that heals but has also been used as a tonic for sleep and beauty for millennia. It's amazing and I have been using it for over 15 years since I started doing this work.

Today, we're joined again by Naturopath, Dr. Marisol Tejero. She is the founder of Queen of the Thrones and has dedicated most of her career to castor oil.

A few weeks back we shared how to use castor oil to help heal your adrenals, thyroid, and digestive and immune systems. You can find that show here.

Today's show is all about beauty and we teach you how to use castor oil to naturally reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and to help your eyelashes and eyebrows grow better - all while you sleep!

Here's what else we discuss on how castor oil:

Has healing properties that are unmatched by any other oil
Is the only oil that penetrates your dermis, allowing it to enter into your circulation and lymphatic system bringing nourishment and stimulating blood flow
Is the only oil that provides healing from the inside-out AND the outside-in
Is the best carrier oil for essential oils

We also demonstrate how to apply castor oil to the body and how to choose the highest quality oil to maximize its therapeutic benefits.

This is something that's safe and effective for everyone, except for those pregnant and nursing.

Enjoy the video and don't forget to meet me in the comments :)

See You On The Blog!

12 Spices . Immunity Spice Mixture . Food As Medicine Podcast

12 Spices That Belong In Your Medicine Cabinet

Hey Elijah,

In our opinion, our society is a bit too quick to reach for over-the-counter (OTC) meds for relief of everyday ailments like an upset stomach, headaches or muscle aches.

We look at these types of drugs as safe because they were not prescribed, but there are plenty of things in them that thin the lining of the gut, add a burden to the liver or kidneys and just overall don't need to be in our bodies.

Instead, why not turn to nature for relief first?

Within your own kitchen, you possess all you need to calm, soothe and relax whatever minor ailment may arise.

1) Cinnamon:
Just half a teaspoon daily can dramatically reduce blood glucose levels in those with type 2 diabetes. Cinnamon is also proven to reduce triglycerides, LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and total cholesterol, as well as ward off urinary tract infections. The cinnamon we buy in stores is usually called cassia and is not real cinnamon, which is called "Ceylon." The two spices don't come from the same plant, but they do both offer an anticoagulant (anti-blood clot) property.

2) Basil:
This herb can be used on skin infections and insect bites. Basil is high in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, phosphorus and calcium. It is also a source of iron, magnesium and potassium. It is proven within 8 weeks to help eyesight, depression, the cardiovascular system, and to ease digestive distress. Basil tea can also soothe a headache, calm the nerves and can help with lowering a fever naturally.

3) Cayenne:
Cayenne's claim to fame is that it promotes circulation and boosts metabolism as well as offering relief from menstrual cramps and fibroid tumors when consumed internally. Externally, it can be used in a compress and creams as a pain-killer.

4) Cloves:
This delightful fall spice is a powerful antifungal and antimicrobial, making it a clear choice to promote digestive health. While it tastes fantastic in chai tea, you can also use it externally for dental pain (apply the oil) or add it to a footbath to get rid of athlete's foot.

5) Parsley:
When used externally, parsley relieves itching (put fresh parsley in a warm bath). Taken inside the body, it is one of the most nutrient-rich, detoxifying herbs we have. It acts as an anti-inflammatory, an antispasmodic and a diuretic, helping conditions from colic to indigestion. Whenever you make or get a green juice, be sure to add parsley to it!

6) Sage:
Externally, sage is very beneficial in treating acne, gum and throat infections, breast pain and oily hair. Internally, sage is great for mental health. Sage tea has helped ease depression and anxiety for generations.

7) Thyme:
A wonderful anti-parasitic agent that can improve poor appetite, diarrhea, stomach cramps and indigestion. It helps with hangovers and doubles as an aid to alleviate symptoms from colds and bronchitis.

8) Cardamom:
Used internally for indigestion, nausea, vomiting and can help to cut back excessive phlegm. It is also used to prevent stomach pain and flatulence. In ancient Ayurvedic traditions, the cardamom seeds are chewed to sweeten the breath and help reduce the acid effects of caffeine in coffee.

9) Cumin:
Loaded with phyto-chemicals, Cumin is high in antioxidants, minerals like iron, copper, calcium, potassium, manganese, selenium, zinc and magnesium and contains high amounts of B-complex. The active principles in the cumin may increase the motility of the gastro-intestinal tract as well as increase the digestion power by increasing gastro-intestinal enzyme secretions. Cumin is also used to help with sleeplessness, and because of its antiseptic properties is great to consume when you feel a cold coming on.

10) Cilantro:
Cilantro is rich in nutrients and is a good source of iron, magnesium, phytonutrients and flavonoids and is also high in dietary fiber. Cilantro has been used for thousands of years as a digestive aid as it stimulates the appetite and aids in gastric juice secretion. It can also aid in lowering blood sugar having hypoglycemic properties, possibly the result of stimulating insulin secretion.

11) Ginger:
The root has a stellar reputation for controlling nausea of all types. Studies have shown ginger to be especially effective in curbing motion sickness, morning sickness, and postoperative and chemotherapy-induced nausea. Ginger is an excellent digestive, aiding in the absorption of food, and elimination of gas and bloating. Ginger stimulates circulation so it is good for cold hands and feet.

12) Turmeric:
A powerful dietary spice for auto-immune-related inflammation and pain. Turmeric is also a fantastic source of indirect antioxidants, which means that it boosts and stimulates the body's own production of antioxidants for hours after consumption. Some of the longest-living people in the world are in Okinawa, Japan. Their longevity is credited to their ability to manage the inflammation process. They do this by drinking turmeric tea daily (see recipe here).

Cheers to health!

New Podcast: Using Food as Medicine in Creative Ways

I enjoyed being interviewed about how to use food in general as a way of medicine to improve and/or heal all manner of health issues with Greg, the founder of Father's After 50 podcast. He knows better than anyone that he has to do whatever he can to improve his energy and vitality naturally since becoming a dad after age 50. Info we all need to keep up with our littles whether they be our kids or grandkids.

Since yesterday, I've received hundreds of questions about TAG Disorder and The Adrenal ReCode.

I've already answered many of them personally and I'm doing my best to get through the rest (please bear with me - I'll also be responding to existing questions on Monday).

But One Thing Stood Out To Me...

So many of you are out of hope.

You've been through so much already.

You're feeling scared. and confused.

You're weary.

And I want you to know that I hear you. You're not alone. If only you could see all the responses I'm getting from people that are feeling the exact same way you are right now.

I've been there, too.

On one hand, looking to find something that will ACTUALLY work. and on the other hand, afraid that it won't work just like everything else.

And I'm here to tell you, that's why the ReCode is completely different.

It's not another special diet, it's not another supplement protocol.

It's forcing your body into "healing mode" (parasympathetic dominance) so it can FINALLY begin to recover and get well on it's own - no magic pills, potions, or diets. Just you and your body working in harmony together, likely for the first time ever, with our detailed guidance.

Which is why I'm so excited to offer it to you for 30% OFF (until Monday 3/2).

And why I'm also going to answer some of the most common questions I've been getting over the last 24-hours, in case I didn't get to yours yet.

1. What is TAG Disorder? How does it relate to my health problems?

Basically, in my 15 year career, I've realized most everyone has TAG Disorder.

TAG Disorder forces your adrenal glands to oversecrete the stress hormone cortisol while suppressing your thyroid, preventing it from creating energy inside your cells.

At the same time, your good gut bacteria starts to die and your gut starts to become "leaky" which affects your brain, liver, and kidneys. Your immune system then gives way.

What makes TAG disorder so scary is that it's insidious. it starts out with a few annoying symptoms like anxiety, sleep trouble, gut irritation, and low energy. and then all of a sudden you can't think straight and need more coffee during the day and really look forward to a glass or two of wine at night...

Then the coffee and wine stop working...

You're exhausted, but can't sleep...

You feel a near-constant buzzy, unsettled energy underneath your fatigue...

Your joints hurt, you're gaining weight, and you just don't feel right.

What happens next?

Disease.

That's the point at which TAG Disorder frequently turns into things like Thyroid Disease (hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's), Autoimmunity, Anxiety/Depression, Weight Gain, and More...

If you're reading this right now and you're struggling with chronic health issues, TAG Disorder is likely a big part of WHY you're sick, and how to finally start getting better.

The Adrenal ReCode was made specifically to take you through the process of fixing TAG Disorder.

2. I have a specific condition or disease. will The ReCode work for me?

The important thing you need to know about the Adrenal ReCode is that it will adjust to you as it incites the natural healing process of your own body and creates a SAFETY that has never before existed. The only way the body can heal is when it feels safe.

Remember: the ReCode will help you effectively force the body into parasympathetic dominance, you are put into the rest-digest-and-heal mode and that is the only way the body can start to get better.

As this ReCode process starts working, your condition and symptoms will begin to shift and if it doesn''t happen quickly enough, then we''ll recommend 2-3 support supplements to do in conjunction with the ReCode based upon how your body responds.

Many that come to us do overthink it and feel worried about making the wrong next step and that''s because they''ve been through so much and they have TAG disorder (thyroid-adrenal-gut) which removes the inherent safety and decisiveness that having a healed nervous system can provide.

I like to say "The ReCode works if you work it."

That means, if you are willing to do the slow down work the program demands to tune into yourself, then you will experience profoundly positive shifts.

I can't 100% guarantee it will work for you. There's nothing out there that works perfectly for every single person, but what we've seen already with 500 ReCoders has been astounding. to us and them.

What I can guarantee is that until you do something completely different than what you've been doing, you won't see different results.

You'll keep experiencing nagging health problems from TAG Disorder.

It's time for you to do something different. Your body is shouting for it.

Over 500 people have enrolled over the last few years and we're confident in the life-changing results we've seen so far. (You can read more of them here).

We stand behind our programs, so if you don't love The ReCode, or find that this program just isn't right for you, we offer a 14-day money-back guarantee from the date you purchase the program.

3. Why does the program cost so much?

When I hear this question, I hear the history of everything you've invested in the past that hasn't worked.

I understand why you might be concerned about the cost.

Many ReCoders joined the program after spending a fortune on their health in the past, some even have $20,000 bills from Mayo Clinic.

The Whole Journey is the Tiffany's Boutique around the corner, not the Walmart on the main drag. We are quality-focused and put an incredible amount of time, energy, and resources into our programs which ultimately helps you save so much time and money for years to come.

The Adrenal ReCode will teach you how to live in SAFETY mode...

And you'll have loving, intelligent guidance from our highly-skilled clinical team along the way.

Being in safety mode consistently is where all the healing in the human body (and mind) happens and the trust of SELF that comes from this is priceless as is the increase in quality of life.

Also, I strongly believe you'll be getting more than 20 times the value out of The Adrenal ReCode by saving money on things like Doctor appointments, lost work days, poor relationships that don't support you, insurance co-pays, supplements, and more.

Not to mention all the TIME you'll be getting back to spend with your family and doing things you love.

This 10-week program is an investment of $6.96 per day, which is less than most people spend on their daily coffee.

We've also made payment plans available so it's more affordable.

4. Will I get live support if I have questions?

As part of your investment in the Adrenal ReCode, you'll get access to our team of clinical nutritionists to answer your specific questions via email for one year.

Yes, you'll have an entire year of live support!

After that, you can choose to continue the live support after the first year for $99/year.

We did this because we wanted to make sure you felt supported. If you ever feel stuck or not sure what to do next, our team of clinicians have been working with ReCoders for years and they'll be there for you.

You'll have lifetime access to the program portal.

That means any new content, recipes, webinar replays or information we add you'll have access to forever.

One More Thing: It's Normal To Feel Nervous...

If you're still feeling a little bit nervous about joining the program, that's a good sign.

Your body is telling you that you're on the verge of making a big, life-changing decision and it's getting excited about what's to come.

I'm also excited for you.

The Adrenal ReCode works if you work it and if you are willing to do the slow down work the program demands to tune into yourself, then I think this is the best next step in your healing process and that you will experience profoundly positive shifts.

And you can still enroll right now and save 30% (until Monday)

ENROLL NOW

Hope this helps!

Christa

Get Better Sleep . Gut Health Podcast . TAG Disorder

Hi, Elijah.

Without good sleep, our bodies aren''t getting the valuable digest-repair-restore time that they need to heal. And without enough restful sleep, our mental health tanks - the important emotional reserves we need to deal with the stressors of life get depleted, and compliance with any healing protocol can feel overwhelming or even impossible.

Of all the symptoms people have today, sleep and energy are the top two we see repeatedly. This is why I gave a free interview on both topics in the upcoming Your Best Sleep Ever free online summit. I wanted to share the summit with you because I know you could be sleeping a bit better and have better mental clarity, recall and better energy and the quality of information you will get in this summit is excellent and can impact your sleep as soon as the night after you listen to it.

Dear Elijah,

I saw an elderly man coming out of the drugstore the other day with a double mask and a shield on. From the look on his face, he did not want to be out in public and was obviously worried about his health during the pandemic.

My heart went out to him, and then it sunk as I looked in his cart.

It was full of Pepsi, Doritos and candy.

I felt so frustrated and disappointed and wanted to shout about terrain theory over germ theory from the rooftops. letting him and everyone else know the power we have over our health if we choose to use it.

Holiday Eating . Cioppino . New Gut Health Training Program!

Happy Holidays, Elijah!

Food is an important part of many holidays, celebrations, and family and cultural traditions. In fact, special occasions often center around food.

As a result, many people gain a little (or a lot of) weight between Thanksgiving and the New Year. The average weight gain is 8.7lbs.

What's to blame?

Perhaps it's all the tempting treats available during the holiday season or the pressure from family, friends, and co-workers to overeat/drink.

Maybe it's the increased emotional eating (whether it be from 2020 stress, holiday stress or holiday joy) or the extreme laxity with eating and physical activity regimens in anticipation for the strict "new diet and exercise plan" you're going to start January 1st.

Regardless of the reasons, it is not necessary to avoid holiday festivities in an attempt to maintain your weight. Consider these 10 tips for fully enjoying the holiday season without gaining weight! Here''s a sneak peek at 5 below.

With the holiday season comes a broad array of emotions, expectations and high demands. Our culture portrays idealized images of what the holidays are supposed to bring.

For some, if not most, the holidays do not match this ideal.

However, when we set ourselves up for success, we can garner the magic that is intended for this time of year. Follow our friend Dr. Goldstein''s 10 tips for a joyful, stress-free holiday season.

And if you really get activated or triggered with family during the holidays, follow @the.holistic.psychologist on Instagram and she will be your pocket therapist!

Our team is powering down to turn our attention to our personal lives for the next few weeks so we'll be quiet with email until the New Year.

Please know we'll be thinking about you and are wishing you all the goodness of the season.

Looking forward to a brighter, healthier, and more unified 2021!

What''s New?!

Holiday Cioppino

Hi, Elijah. :)

Have you "over-snacked" during this weirdest year ever?

Maybe you're about to head into the holidays not feeling your best in part because of the way your diet has shifted due to the stressors of 2020.

Numerous feasting opportunities lie ahead of us starting with Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, and New Year's, even if we're just staying at home.

Digesting efficiently is what is going to help you feel and look better during times of feasts and well after the holiday season ends.

Digesting well converts food into fuel (vs. storing it as fat) and lowers inflammation, two things that will give you more energy, less pain, and put a stop to gaining holiday weight.

Digestion is the cornerstone of our health and greatly contributes to or deters from hormonal balance.

We are only as healthy as our ability to digest and absorb the nutrients in our food no matter how high quality they may be.

What Are Digestive Enzymes?

When we eat food, enzymes come in to break the food down so that we can better absorb the broken-down carbohydrate, fat, and protein molecules.

Without proper enzymes to do the hard work, bigger food pieces are left to ferment inside of us and feed extra gut bugs. This often means bloating, burping, gas, and other (unnecessarily) embarrassing issues.

Digestive enzymes are special molecules that speed up the breakdown of food into usable nutrients. When properly activated, some of these enzymes are absorbed into the body and help support a healthy immune system.

Who Needs Digestive Enzymes?

Anyone who displays any of these signs:

Occasional bloating and gas, particularly after eating
Feeling full after eating only a small quantity of food
Infrequent mild indigestion/heartburn (components of undigested food bubbles back up into the esophagus)
Bowel irregularities such as occasional diarrhea and/or constipation
Seeing undigested food particles in stools
Many food sensitivities and intolerances
Allergies
Estrogen dominance
History of gallbladder problems
Lost gallbladder to surgery

Our enzymes are some of the best on the market. I personally take 1 with each meal for 30 days twice annually and then as needed for bigger meals or foods I don't usually eat.

Stock up now on Digestive Enzymes BEFORE the holiday feasts ensue. You'll start to build better gastric juices and digestive health and will enjoy the season more as a result.

What Are Food Sensitivity Enzymes & What Do They Do?

The nine most common food sensitivities are gluten, dairy, soy, egg, almond, pea, rice, fish, and peanut (and corn but that's just because it's so genetically modified). Using food sensitivity enzymes, particularly in conjunction with digestive enzymes, will help clean up OLD molecules of these foods. If you're sensitive to them your body will view them as foreign proteins and mount an immune response against them leading to unnecessary inflammation.

This formula will decrease inflammation by cleaning up foreign proteins and then also safeguard your digestion if and when you consume them. Taking a 30-day course of these (away from food to do the cleanup of old molecules work and before eating a meal containing these proteins) will go a LONG way to give you more energy and better digestion through the holidays and beyond.

Digestive Enzymes and Food Sensitivity Support are the dynamic duo when it comes to fireproofing your digestive wellness during the holidays - total game changers, in fact, as they are known to reverse multiple food sensitivities and assist with gut healing so that eventually you can eat these foods again without mounting an immune response.

ABCs Of Minerals: Part 2 . Liquid Chromium & Zinc

The ABCs Of Minerals: Part 2

Hey Elijah,

On today's episode of Food As Medicine TV, we dive into Part 2 of our series on "The ABCs of Minerals" with clinical nutritionist, Rick Wagner.

Rick is the founder and CEO of Eidon Minerals, an industry leader in top quality mineral supplements, and our "go-to" on all things mineral.

If you missed Part 1 of our discussion, be sure to go back and watch the video. It will help you to really understand how important minerals are to maintaining all aspects of your health for the rest of your life.

In Part 2, we give you a literal "A to Z" of our favorite minerals.

We go through each mineral to give you a thorough understanding of what it does in your body, how it contributes to various bodily functions, and how it can ultimately help you feel and look better.

Here are just a few of our favorites that we discuss in detail on today's show:

Chromium - This mineral is one of my personal favorites and critical to blood sugar regulation and healthy cholesterol production. If you have trouble regulating your blood sugar, sugar cravings, or frequent mood or energy swings, then you are likely deficient in chromium.
Silica - Rick calls silica the most "underrated and misunderstood mineral" and it's the reason why he created Eidon Minerals. It's critical to building and maintaining healthy bones and collagen levels and helped Rick make HUGE strides in his own health. This is the skin health mineral of all minerals.
Sulfur - We love sulfur because it reduces your body's inflammation set point. As a society, we are overfed and undernourished; exposed to environmental toxins; and stressed, anxious, and exhausted. Sulfur is a great way to reduce inflammation levels in the body and protect from what Time Magazine calls, "The Secret Killer."
Zinc - This mineral is well-known for being an immune system powerhouse and can be rapidly depleted when you're fighting a viral infection. As we ride out the COVID-19 pandemic, this is a great tool to have in your arsenal. We teach you a really simple DIY test to see if you are zinc-deficient.

We cover these minerals and lots more, so be sure to head on over to the blog and don't forget to meet me in the comments section :)

See You On The Blog!

Liquid Chromium For Blood Sugar Support

Chromium works best if it is taken before meals to help support normal blood sugar. Even if sugar is not consumed, Chromium supplementation is important when consuming refined or cooked foods. In addition, Chromium, which concentrates in the muscles, can help to increase lean body mass and decrease body fat and weight. Chromium improves the uptake of glucose in the body''s cells so that it can be metabolized to produce stable energy levels, thus helping to reverse the effects of excessive sugar cravings. All unburned or unused glucose will be stored as fat for future energy demands, thus the link between excess sugar and excess fat.

Supplementation with Chromium can help support a healthy metabolism, weight control, and helps maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Liquid Zinc For Immune System Health

Eidon''s ionic liquid zinc is essential for the maintenance of immune system strength and glandular health. It can be rapidly depleted when the body is fighting an illness. Zinc is found in all organs, tissues, and cells, and is involved in the function and activation of many cellular enzymes that make the human body function properly. Zinc promotes immune system health by activating the production of white blood cells. It also helps to support a healthy endocrine system, including the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pineal, pancreas and reproductive glands.

Excessive exposure to heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, and lead), alcohol, tobacco, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides deplete the body's zinc stores. Zinc deficiencies may also result from excess stress.

The summer of 2017 was one of my darkest moments.

I got pregnant in June and filed for divorce about a month later to escape an abusive situation.

I was afraid for my future and the future of my unborn son. I didn't know where I'd find the strength to get through it as a single mother.

Then, one Sunday, I started watching the movie "Wonder Woman."

As I watched her, I felt overcome with inspiration and courage.

She was a force of light, no matter how much darkness surrounded her. She operated with bravery and strength in the face of fear and knew that good would prevail.

From that day forward, Wonder Woman became my guide through this difficult process.

I vowed not to succumb to fear or lower energies, and instead, operate with as much strength, courage, and integrity as possible.

During my babymoon that fall, I commissioned a particularly precocious and talented teenager to burn this image of Wonder Woman into a piece of wood for me so that she could become a daily reminder for me.

Here I am, almost three years later feeling strong, confident, and more at peace, supported, and happier than I've ever felt in my life.

Wonder Woman still lives on the wall in my family room to remind me of the qualities I so admire: strength, courage, kindness, and integrity.

Because of the physical and emotional process I developed for myself to embody these qualities during the most challenging time of my life, I now have all the physical and emotional resilience I need for whatever life brings and I'm overjoyed to say that I'm truly happier and more at peace than I've ever been in my life.

And that's what I want for you too...

Becoming Wonder Woman

So many of us spend our lives depleted and feeling like we're not ourselves. wondering if and hoping that things will just change on their own, eventually...

It's not our fault that our energy centers (thyroid and adrenals) are not working properly as a result of a whole lot of "life," but it is our responsibility to do what needs to be done to support them back to optimal functioning.

Because when we do, everything changes.

You can't separate physical, mental, and emotional health - they all constantly affect each other.

The only way to become your own personal superhero, whoever that is to you, is to address all of these concurrently and to live your values into existence instead of passively waiting for something to change.

Imagine Six Months From Now.

You've ReCoded your TAG system (thyroid-adrenals-gut).

You wake up before your alarm after a deep, restful night sleep feeling refreshed and enthusiastic about the day ahead.

You do a sun salutation or go for a walk or jog and enjoy your own company, the peace of nature, and the quiet of rising early. You feel so good in your body - moving it is a joy.

Just the fact that you have the privilege to exist provides an overwhelming abundance of gratitude.

You have energy and positive moods all day.

And when you lay down in bed again that night, you realize that you didn't think about your health once that day - because it is so good, it's no longer a deterrent.

You realize you're now living your own version of Wonder Woman (or Superman ;)...

Being and doing more than you ever thought possible and not just physically but emotionally and energetically.

Your energy precedes you and people feel it and wonder what you did to possess this kind of magic with your presence.

That's what it feels like to NOT have TAG Disorder. I'm living proof of it and so are 500 other Adrenal ReCoders from around the world doing the same.

Know that there are people on the other side of the ReCode who now possess the superpowers to get through life with skill and grace.

Like these powerful ReCoders.

"I used to pop l-theanine like candy and other calming herbs - really relying on them to stay calm and manage anxiety and stress. I realized I hadn't taken any of those things for weeks without a second thought!! I still have a long way to go, but I have come SO far with everything - diet, really living in a parasympathetic state for the first time in my life AND doing so consistently, and making huge strides in the emotional work. Experiencing really intense, but wonderfully positive and profound emotional and spiritual transformations." ~ Lori T.

"Magic happened from that webinar and Module 7 as the very next morning I was CLEAR, DETACHED and VERY CALM about letting go of the toxic person that had seemed to have a lock hold on my heart for so long. I'm feeling really empowered, humble, grateful and happy. I'm reading my Modules 5-7 materials, journaling, and finally being able to really have forgiveness for myself and others from afar. I can't tell you how grateful I am to you and your team." ~ Maryann

"To be brutally honest, I joined the ReCode out of sheer desperation. I was drawn to Christa's work because everything she mentioned in an online summit resonated with my exact situation. I felt understood and believed she knew what I and many others were going through.

After taking the ReCode mini-course, I knew a paid course was coming and finances were super tight. I had suffered from a heat stroke a few months prior and was living with intense, nearly daily, anxiety or panic attacks, on top of not working, and, increasing medical costs. Granted, through the kindness of my family's support, we made it happen. Nevertheless, I was terrified that this wouldn't work, but in the back of my mind, I had faith that it would.

Via stoking the faith and putting in the work every week, not only did it work, but it surmounted my expectations. I feel like another person, and I know this is just the beginning. For anyone on the fence, I can tell you this; bet on yourself and believe that there are people out there who lead with a genuine intent to help you. You are not alone, especially in this program. If finances are tight, I get it, but please, find a way. The ReCode changed my life in so many ways, and I know it can for you too." ~ Gustavo Felipe

That's Why The ReCode Is 30% OFF Right Now (Until 3/2)

I developed a cutting-edge program to help you become your own version of Wonder Woman (or Superman ;).

So you can wake up six months from now feeling like your own superhero.

Speak it into existence today by taking the first step and clicking here to get inside and begin lesson 1 right now.

Much love for all of your dreams to come true,

Christa and The ReCode Team

Stomach Acid . Digestive Enzymes

How To Balance Stomach Acid And Improve Acne & Rosacea FAST!

Hey, Elijah.

Happy Tuesday to you. :)

Today, we''re talking about natural ways to balance stomach acid with our 2-minute Ginger Pickle recipe.

Optimizing stomach acid is hugely important. When acid imbalance is prolonged, it results in unhealthy absorption and digestion within the GI tract. It''s important for stomach acid to be in balance not only because it helps us break down and absorb nutrients, but it creates a much needed and important barrier to invading organisms.

Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is naturally secreted in the stomach in order to digest food and be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Many people have a deficiency of this acid, which can lead to other vitamin deficiencies (especially B12 = no energy!) and chronic imbalances (adrenal and thyroid dysfunction & memory loss).

After age 30, the body''s ability to produce HCL begins to decline. Chronic stress also tends to deplete HCL, characterized by consistent indigestion, and resulting nutritional deficiencies.

I love learning from Asian practices on how to use food as medicine. That is where this recipe for the "Ginger Pickle" was born. In India, they use a homemade pickled ginger for training the body to secrete adequate stomach acid. Also, in Japan, pickled ginger is routinely served with raw fish to protect the system from any potential parasites in the fish.

The Ginger Pickle works famously and is easy to prepare. I show you how in todays' episode of Food as Medicine. :)

Watch The Episode

See you on the blog!

P.S. - I'm knee-deep (again!) in gut health this month, as I'm creating a practitioner training program for our Gut Thrive program so that doctors, naturopaths, nutritionists, and licensed acupuncturists can add our program to their private practice. If you are a practitioner and have been wanting to add gut health to your practice, stay tuned. :)

What''s New?!

Digestive Enzymes For Better Assimilation

Taking digestive enzymes for 30 days in a row (1 per meal) once or twice per year is another way to tonify the digestive system. Not only will it optimize hydrochloric acid, but it will give all your digestive organs a boost because they allow for better assimilation of nutrients and better nutrient uptake in the body while giving a weary digestive system a rest. As an added bonus, now more than ever, digestive enzymes help the immune system control pathogens and parasites.
