Usually, this feed is full of perfectly styled plates and grill marks. But today, I wanted to share a slice of my real life. This was me on Memorial Day, just floating on the boat and completely unplugging with my favorite furry co-captain. ๐๐ถ
For a long time, my life was stuck in โhigh gear.โ I was pushing, performing, and stressing over the algorithmโand my body paid the price. My nervous system was trapped in a constant state of fight-or-flight, which ended up wrecking my gut health (hello, SIBO and a hiatal hernia) and leaving my thyroid very sluggish.
Lately, Iโve been working on a massive pivot toward pro-metabolic healing. A huge part of that journey isnโt just whatโs on my plateโitโs about actively getting my body back into โrest and digestโ mode and giving my thyroid the safety it needs to thrive.
With summer officially here, Iโm leaning heavily into what I like to call a Summertime Metabolism. I now think of sunlight as essential healing medicine. โ๏ธ
Dr. Ray Peat always taught that safe, natural sunlight acts like a direct battery charger for your cells. It tells your metabolism that you are safe, allowing your body to switch off the chronic stress hormones that freeze your digestion and shut down your thyroid.
Iโm dropping the pressure to be perfect on here. This summer, my goal is to heal my gut, support my thyroid, and share the real, unpolished journey with you guys.
What does that mean for this page? Iโm absolutely still going to share the grilling recipes but Iโll be sharing them with a pro-metabolic lens with info on how to nourish your body and support metabolism and digestion. Plus, Iโll be taking you behind the scenes as I develop recipes for my upcoming pro-metabolic cookbook!
The kitchen is still my sanctuary, but peace of mind is my priority. โจ
Cheers to a summer of actual rest, digestion, and healing. Who else is working on lowering their stress levels and supporting their health this season? ๐
