What's Your Nourishing Routine?
Tuesday, 7 July, 2026
It’s been a bit, y’all. My last pod was in October of 2025 because I needed to pause given the loss of my beloved Travis McGree and subsequent loss of the fire in my belly needed to fuel this effort. Somewhat paradoxically, these losses were balanced by Divine gains in my life, which for me reinforces the cycle of life as well as our deep connection to Nature. In today’s episode # 71 I talk about what I’ve learned during this pause as well as two of my foundational routines. The first is my newer focus on my relationship God and the second is my nourishment routine.It is so important to have a self-care practice, even if for just a few minutes most days of the week. It can set the tone for your entire day, helping you down regulate your nervous system. And when paired with natural light, it can improve your circadian rhythm.FINE FIND & EASY RECIPES-Oh my goodness! These Force of Nature Ancestral Meatballs are just great, especially when you’re tight on dinner prep time like our family is during baseball season. The ingredient list not only passes my rigorous test but gets extra points because they contain ORGAN MEATS (packed with nutrition) AND taste great. We often enjoy them within a curry dish. Think whatever veggies you want to dice up, coconut milk and your choice of curry. We LOVE Mekhala organic curries. And their website has plenty of easy recipes.FINE READ-I just finished The Thyroid Fix by Dr. Amie Hornaman. I wanted to laugh and cry when I heard her on one of my favorite podcasts, Dr. Leland Stillman’s Integrative Medicine (he’s such a wonderful bad ass rebel and tremendously knowledgeable). She used the term “thyropause” and that’s what got me. Pretty much explains the perfect s-storm that happened to me after I had Covid in 2021: my thyroid tanked right as I was moving into the middle zone of perimenopause. Not a good combo. I’ve been working on it ever since and tried plenty of natural food-based supplements until I was rightly told by a physician that I needed to get and stay on Armour. (I’m still supplementing, most recently starting Dr. Stillman’s iodine protocol.) If you happen to have thyroid hormone challenges, I highly recommend this book!If you haven’t yet read The Nourishment Mindset, I invite you to purchase one I will sign and ship for free from my website.
