Springtime often brings Liver Qi stagnation, manifesting as irritability, PMS, fatigue, and digestive issues, due to the transition from winter’s stillness. To support this, focus on gentle movement, eating green foods, liver herbal support, managing stress, and nurturing flexibility to foster vitality.
Invitation For Use:
Two-three week herbal support
Early am:
Drink warm lemon or lime water. With 1/2tsp (about two droppers full) Liver TLC on empty stomach.
And if you feel called, boil some water for a Golden Milk Latte.
Daytime:
Herbal Cleanser tea, 1-2 heaping tsp. per cup boiled water, steep 10 mins. 2-3 cups day
*Before any meal, take 1-2 droppers full of bitters about 10-30 minutes before eating to increase bile production (2-3x per day total). Think of this as your booster anytime you’re about to eat a meal, or a heavier smoothie/ juice.
Evening:
On an empty stomach take 1/2tsp (two droppers) of Liver TLC in small amount of water.
I usually take this while I’m making dinner, at least 20min before a meal.
Before bed:
Fibre Flow Bowel Herbs
(Pick one or combe)
* Psyllium husk or seed powder
* Flax seed
* Marshmallow root powder
* Ground chia seeds
1 tsp. stirred into a half glass of water, sit it for 5 min to thicken, follow with a full glass of water. Take before bed (on empty stomach).
Cleanses can optimize higher body-mind functioning by de-programming cravings, certain allergies, and even supporting the clearing of mental patterns.
Herbs can be used to promote the natural eliminative functions of the body. Along with eating the new in seasons bitter greens. An added boost this time of year is adding in Spirulina. High source of vitamins, minerals, protein, blood sugar regulating, source of energy, blood cleansing. 1 tsp. 1-2x/day. Also including a probiotic! My favorite right now is the spore based probiotic Just Thrive. Like the topical SIV this uses spores to survive the unsurvivable gut landscape and help truly repopulate the gut.
Some of this is inspired by the full cleanse Savayda lead us through in year one at . She leads a yearly cleanse, anyone can sign up if interested.

I HAD to share this one immediately. I’m never making regular pancakes again, and either will you! I’ve been obsessed with Dutch Pancakes for a long time, they puff up so beautifully. I saw someone add berries and obviously they won’t puff but they looked amazing. They reminded me of a Dutch pancake I had in Germany many years ago. They were 🤤 and soooo are these.
The adapted recipe:
Preheat oven to 400. In a blender pop (it was to early so I used a bowl) in 3 eggs, 3/4 c greek yogurt, 3/4 pancake mix (Costco’s protein mix), 1/2 t vanilla, 1 T sugar, 1 t lemon zest, pinch salt. Melt 3 T of butter in a cast iron and toss in 1 c of blueberries and 1c raspberries. Pour blended batter mix over berries and pop in the oven for about 20 minutes or so. The edges will start to turn golden and curl away from the pan. The amount of berries I like to use will keep this from fluffing up, as do cold eggs and milk (room temp is best), but it will still be delicious! Best hot, served with powdered sugar if you have it, but definitely a squeeze of lemon🍋

Slop
Both lentils and beans are exceptional for fiber and gut health, offering similar nutritional value, but lentils are generally better for easier digestion and higher nutrient density, while beans often provide more soluble fiber and resistant starch. Both are excellent plant-based, high-fiber, and high-protein choices.
Yield: 8-10 servings
Ingredients:
* 3 cups dried navy beans or black beans or both, rinsed and soaked 8 hours or night before.
* Or 3 cups lentils if you forget to soak your beans! Black, French or green
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* 14 oz lean turkey or chicken sausage, sliced into medallions or squeezed out of the casing. I usually use two packages of 4 chicken sausages, 8 total.
* 1 onion, diced
* 2cups of mushrooms, I usually use shiitake, lions mane, oyster, maitake, or button. Combo also works
* Root veggies you have on hand and in season: carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, squash, potatoes, parsnips, chopped/ cubed
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 7 cups chicken / vegetable broth or water
* 3 cups fresh baby spinach or kale
* ¾ tsp salt (plus more to taste)
* ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions:
1. Using the sauté function on your Instant Pot, add olive oil and cook sausage, onions, mushrooms, stirring occasionally until browned, and onions are translucent. Stir in garlic and cook for one minute. Turn sauté off.
2. Drain and rinse the beans before adding them to the pot along with all the meat/ mushrooms. Add water/ broth. Set to pressure cook (manual) on high for 10 minutes.
3. If using lentils instead of beans, rinse and add to mushroom meat mixture. Add water or broth. Set pressure cook (manual) on high for 8 minutes.
4. Add in rest of veggies on top, I don’t stir it all together, I layer it on top. I pack mine almost to the top, maybe don’t do this, fill to the fill line.
5. When finished, leave to naturally depressurize for 20min especially if using beans. If you over packed it, let naturally depressurize or it will sputter.
6. Stir in greens if you want extra veggies like kale or spinach. Serve with warm, crusty bread and herbs on top.
