Say Jess Please’s Guide to Meal Prep

I'm commonly asked what my #1 biggest health tip is. I have to boil it down to preparation. It's that age old tale, if you fail to prepare, you can prepare to fail.  I'll be the first to admit - working a full time job, balancing a relationship, friends, family, and a side-hustle wears on me. ...

Bone Broth: Why it’s So Good For You & How To Make It

When I first heard of bone broth my initial instinct was CRINGE... the whole concept sounds gross. But, I saw this ingredient closely paired with discussions on gut health so I was intrigued to at least learn a little bit more. I learned that the concept - while trendy - is certainly not new.

I'm HUGE on eating seasonal fruits & vegetables. I believe that the further your food has to travel to get to you, the less nutrient dense it is by the time it gets to you. Fruits & veggies fresh picked from the vine or ground just taste better anyway! Which leads me to the inspiration ...

Harper’s one and only 365 days of her world that Harper’s one and only 365 days of her world that we’re all livin’ in 🌎 here’s hoping she remembers 2023 fondly because life’s about to get a little crazy around here!
Vitamin C Shock Therapy 🍊 By popular demand I Vitamin C Shock Therapy 🍊 

By popular demand I’m making this concoction a permanent fixture on my feed. Save it for when you or anyone in your family starts to get sick and adjust the dosage based on age (per the @medicalmedium guidelines). I even take this when I’m starting to get a cold sore to kill the virus and I swear by it!

For @medicalmedium Vitamin C Shock Therapy for adults, the ingredients are:
• 2 500-milligram capsules of @vimergy Micro-C
• 1 cup of water (preferably warm)
• 2 teaspoons of raw honey
•  freshly squeezed juice from one orange.

Here’s how to prepare it: 
Open the Micro-C capsules and pour their powder into the warm water. Stir (I use a frother) until dissolved. Add the raw honey and orange juice and stir well.

Starting at the first sign of cold, flu, or viral infection, drink this tonic every two hours during waking hours. You can do this for two days and then switch to the dosage in an individual supplement list, or you can use this technique throughout the duration of a cold or flu.

For children, here are the adjusted amounts of vitamin C for this supplement therapy (from the medical medium book):

• Ages 1 to 2: 1 500-milligram capsule
Micro-C emptied and mixed with 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon raw honey, and the freshly squeezed juice from half an orange, every six hours during waking hours
• Ages 3 to 4: 1 500-milligram capsule
Micro-C emptied and mixed with 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon raw honey, and the freshly squeezed juice from 1 orange, every five hours during waking hours
• Ages 5 to 8: 1 500-milligram capsule
Micro-C emptied and mixed with 1
cup water, 2 teaspoons raw honey, and the freshly squeezed juice from 1 orange, every four hours during waking hours
• Ages 9 to 12: 1 500-milligram capsule Micro-C emptied and mixed with 1 cup water, 2 teaspoons raw honey, and the freshly squeezed juice from 1 orange, every two hours during waking hours
• Ages 13 and up: 2 500-milligram capsules Micro-C emptied and mixed with 1 cup water, 2 teaspoons raw honey, and the freshly squeezed juice from 1 orange, every three hours during waking hours

EGGPLANT 🍆 MOUSSAKA This dairy free/gluten fre EGGPLANT 🍆 MOUSSAKA

This dairy free/gluten free dinner dish tastes anything but. It is packed with rich flavor and is always a special treat in our house. It’s been on my heavy rotation for some time now.

INGREDIENTS:
Veggie Layers:
- 3 TBSP avocado oil, plus more for the pan
- 1 small sweet potato
- 2 medium eggplants, cut lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slices

Meat Sauce:
- 2 TBSP avocado oil
-1 large white onion, minced
- 1 fresno Chile, seeded and minced (I often make it without this and it’s still delicious)
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 pound ground lamb
- 1 TBSP smoked paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground cinnamin
- 1 TBSP pink Himalayan salt
- 1 TBSP freshly ground black pepper
- 6 TBSP tomato paste
- 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
- 2 TBSP tightly packed chopped fresh mint

Creamy Bechamel Sauce:
- 2 TBSP ghee
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 (15-oz) can full-fat unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 tsp teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large egg yolks

DIRECTION:
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Cover the eggplant with the avocado oil. Place the eggplant slices on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes or until tender and browned. Remove the eggplant and set aside. Reduce the heat of the oven to 400F.

2. Meanwhile, prepare the sweet potato by cutting it into 1/4 inch thick rounds and set aside. 

3. Meat sauce: heat the avocado oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté 5-10 mins. Add the chile and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the lamb, smoked paprika, cumin, cinnamon, salt, and pepper and cook until the meat is fully cooked. Add the tomato paste and chopped tomato and cook until all the liquid has evaporated. Add the mint and oregano, stir for 2 minutes, then remove from heat. 

4. Béchamel: In a saucepan, melt the ghee over medium heat. Add the almond flour and whisk constantly until fully combined. Whisk in the coconut milk and bring to a boil. Add the nutmeg and black pepper and cook, stirring for about 5 minutes, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and quickly stir in the egg yolks, one by one.

It's me, JESS. It may look like my content has ch It's me, JESS.

It may look like my content has changed in the last year if you've followed along for a while, but it remains authentic to my wellness journey. 

When I first embarked on my wellness journey, I think I was in middle school. At that time, being "well" meant being skinny. 

But we evolve.

Today, that couldn't be further from the truth. Today, it's living out something BIGGER than myself, not making myself smaller. 

It's finding peace in my circumstance. It's treating myself with respect.
It's listening and learning from other people.
It's nurturing and embracing my family, fostering community.
It's not turning my back on people that make me feel uncomfortable.
It's diving deeper into my faith.
It's therapy; getting to know myself on a deeper level.

So, if it looks like i've changed... you're right! Proud change agent over here. Whatever could be next :)
