The Highest ROI in Healthcare + the EASIEST way to start feeling better today!
What if I told you to pay me ten dollars and I would give you back one hundred? Would you do it? The same concept applies to investing in your nutrition by means of food preparation weekly or daily in your kitchen.
Why should you invest your time or money in food prep?
We think by eating convenience foods we're really saving time.
How do you look at time? As an even exchange rate? I beg to differ. Sure, ordering take out saves time cooking, but is the food you are eating making you a more energetic & productive human being? Subway sure is quick but does it really matter when you could spend thirty minutes preparing a meal in exchange for premium fuel in your body that will allow you to work three times faster, have a ten times longer attention span, decrease your anxiety levels 90%, oh, and allow your body to require less sleep? This is the highest return on investment in healthcare!
Fact, many are not willing to spend 45 minutes a day preparing fresh juices, smoothies, and salads before they start their day like I do. I understand that, and think that is fair.
However, many will not be blessed to experience the amazing, ALIVENESS I feel every single day. In the 45 minutes I spend in my kitchen preparing for my day ahead or doing this the night before I ensure my body will have the proper fuel to be unstoppable for the next 24 hours. This process could be done in 15-30 minutes easily and modified to fit any dietary needs, I just get a little extra with it, and that is to no one's surprise I’m sure!
My friends tell me I am the busiest, and most productive person they know. Why? It is the way I fuel my body! This is coming from the girl who was headed towards claiming disability because she could do nothing for several months in her chronic illness journey. The regimen I developed to heal my body has become the process that soars my potential to new heights daily.
In my morning prep routine I am simultaneously listening to school lectures or an audio book. That kills two birds with one stone and takes care of my study time daily. Also, another benefit, I have not been sick with a cold or flu in years (this is officially untrue, when I wrote this draft one month ago it was true ha). Now tell me how much time I have really saved these last couple years from not being down and out with illness!
What I am telling you is this, by preparing meals once a week at home or making yourself fresh juice every morning you will be preparing your body with nutritious food for the week or day ahead. You will be avoiding cheap, rancid oils in your food, you will decrease your sodium and refined sugar intake, you will exponentially increase your nutrient intake, you will have double the energy, and you will most likely save money! Most importantly, being conscious of the meals you're putting into your body will heal your chronic symptoms and set your body up for vitality long term.
Take ownership for the food you're putting into your body. Let me tell you a secret, restaurants and food manufacturers do not have your best interest in mind. They are selling you what tastes good (even adding MSG to enhance your addiction to their product) and what is cheap for them to make. Take back the power over your health through your food and stop relying on anywhere but your own kitchen and cutting board to nourish your body!
If your resource bank has more money than time in this season of your life, I would advise you to order custom meal prep service as well as cold pressed juices made weekly. (Shoutout to Zen Donkey Farms- their juices are raw, local, organic, and save the lives of precious rescue farm animals in Kansas City. Oh, and they deliver.)
If you are currently meal prepping like a boss and still not feeling well or seeing your illness disappear, let's reevaluate what foods you are consuming. This was me, following my macros and various meal plans throughout the years but feeling worse and gaining weight. I was paying coaches a fortune and they were convinced I wasn't reporting “the dozen donuts I was binge eating on the weekends”. The problem was neither one of us understood how to use food to heal the body when dealing with autoimmune disease. I was putting in the work, just the wrong kind of work under an incorrect paradigm. I needed a whole different approach to food. Even when I was doing whole 30 and eating paleo, I was still extremely sick. Food is what will heal the body. Working with someone who understands nutrition is critical to every component of your health. Not just trendy nutrition that tells you to avoid fruit because of the sugar and eat x amount of protein grams at every meal. If you're struggling, you very well know that information is not serving you anyhow.
For those of us who feel well everyday but know we want to perform at our best in the busiest time of our lives, we need to look to food prep. Plain and simple. We simply cannot play the Russian Roulette with our nutrition and grab whatever is available on the way home. Our bodies are too valuable and time is a nonrenewable resource. Invest in your body with your time (or money by hiring meal service) and your body will give you a tenfold return on investment, I guarantee you. Stop making the excuses. You either have the time or the money to upgrade your nutrition. Get it done. Elevate your health and elevate your life!

Be well friends.
