The Phoenix Pyre

Eating the rainbow refers to consuming a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables, each packed with unique phytonutrients that support everything from immune function to heart health.

These plant compounds act as antioxidants, helping to reduce inflammation and protect the body from chronic diseases.

♥️ Red: Lycopene and anthocyanins
🍊 Orange/Yellow: Beta-carotene and flavonoids
🤍 White: Allicin
🥬 Green: Chlorophyll, lutein, and isothiocyanates
🫐 Purple/Blue: Anthocyanins and resveratrol

🚫 Oils to avoid when possible: Canola, Grapeseed, Soy, Corn, Palm.

WHY? These oils are often heavily refined, chemically treated, and exposed to high heat during processing, stripping them of nutrients and leaving behind harmful compounds. They can lead to inflammation, disrupt hormone balance, and negatively affect our guts and overall health 😢

Instead, choose nourishing alternatives like cold-pressed olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, and ghee, for a dose of healthy fats. 🌿✨

What's your favorite oil to use?

For too long, weight loss has dominated the health conversation, often at the expense of true well-being. We’ve been bombarded with the misguided notion that shedding pounds is the ultimate—and sometimes only—measure of good health.

But times are changing. Society and medical research are finally waking up to the fact that weight loss alone isn’t the answer to a long, healthy life.

Instead, the focus is shifting to body recomposition—building muscle, improving strength, and fostering a healthier relationship with our bodies.

Let’s Talk About…. Carbs

So much controversy about carbohydrates in our diets makes it confusing for people to know what they should be doing for their best health.

The short answer is, carbohydrates do not effect everyone the same. Therefore, there may be some truth in some of the things that you hear BUT that does not mean that its true for everyone.

For example, in general, women and endurance athletes have a higher carbohydrate need to balance hormones and have enough fuel for their activities, respectively.

One thing that is true for everyone is that carbs are NOT the devil 😊

What we should be focusing on is the quality of our carbohydrates. When we eat whole food, unprocessed carbohydrates (ie. potatoes, rice, squash), it is a lot harder to overconsume than it is when we eat highly processed carbs (Ie. ice cream, bread, pizza).
