Reverse Engineered EEN Smoothie
To approximate food like Modulen or Kate Farms medical meal replacement shakes, I made this smoothie. I drink two of these a day currently, in addition to 3-4 Kate farms shakes. The Kate farms micronutrient profile hits all essential vitamins and minerals at 3-4 shakes a day. My last meal of the day is yogurtContinue reading “Reverse Engineered EEN Smoothie”
Flare #5
Begins in fits and starts. After two weeks of creeping symptoms I start blending my food. Lentil soup for lunch all of week 3. Definitely brought on by work stress. Thursday of week 3 is a low point, 6 BMS and a bad headache, I went home from work early that day. Same day IContinue reading “Flare #5”
Fit in my 40s – almost 41!
So an update. Since I started reframing my mindset about movement and fatigue (and since a colonoscopy showing no sign of disease), I have made major progress in my fitness in the last year and a half. I started by working with a physical therapist to help with back pain and recover from a sprainedContinue reading “Fit in my 40s – almost 41!”
Blended breakfast
I’ve had some creeping Crohn’s symptoms so trying to stave them off with blended foods. The aim is gut rest and nutrition for healing. Blended breakfast: 2-3 dates 1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal 2 gobs of almond butter Water to the consistency you like (I like this one pretty thin because the oats get gloopyContinue reading “Blended breakfast”
Mac n cheese with protein
In a high power blender, combine: Like 8 ounces of hemp seeds. Idk how big the bag was. 6-8 oz of raw cashews. Again, this isn’t rocket science. Half a cup of nutritional yeast Two teaspoons of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika One teaspoon of tumeric One tablespoon of mustard 1-2 tablespoons of soyContinue reading “Mac n cheese with protein”
Fit in my 40s update
It’s been about two months since I have reframed my thinking about fatigue, chronic illness, and fitness. My therapist has been very helpful in reinforcing my new mindset, as well as looking at the scientific evidence of my recent colonoscopy, which shows no signs of inflammation. With my Crohn’s and Hashimoto’s medically managed, I shouldContinue reading “Fit in my 40s update”
I was a cyclist/I am a cyclist
Ten years ago I was hit by a car when I was riding my bike. I was accustomed to biking everywhere and had been a bike commuter for the past decade. Every other cyclist I knew had been hit, and statistically I knew it was just a matter of time before I got hit byContinue reading “I was a cyclist/I am a cyclist”
Vicious mind cycle
I had a colonoscopy last week and the results were really good. With my thyroid and Crohn’s managed, I shouldn’t been feeling fatigue. So what could the fatigue be from? I have been working with my therapist to interrogate some mental blocks I have around exercise (exercise will make me sick, exertion will increase myContinue reading “Vicious mind cycle”
Amazing detox cleanse!
Just kidding, this is the bowel prep from my latest colonoscopy! Tricked you! If you came here for some diet culture bull, I suggest you try to reframe your thinking around food, shift your relationship with food and your body from one of guilt and shame to one of pleasure and enjoyment, and learn aContinue reading “Amazing detox cleanse!”
