Hormones play a huge role in our health and balance is key for optimal health. However the modern world places a lot of different stressors on our body that indirectly has an impact on our hormones. Chronic stress is a major disruptor that can create havoc with our hormones. Processed foods and sugars is another factor. However, if you are eating clean and still have hormonal issues, there can be a lot of other causative factors like toxicity, gut imbalances, mineral and vitamin imbalances etc that could be the root cause of your symptoms.

Hello friends! I have been MIA for a while. But here I am now with a Diwali recipe! This instant Murrukku is a great tasty savory recipe that comes out fabulous every time I make it! I feel very passionate about preserving our traditions as well as our traditional recipes. I make homemade Diwali sweets and savories every year even while living in the US. It saddens me to see folks back in India celebrating Diwali with store bought Diwali sweets that are laden with sugar and artificial stuff! For me, making these sweets is a tradition that I learned from my mother and I sure hope to pass these on to my children! There are more Diwali sweets on my website including refined sugar free sweets!

GRAIN FREE AND EGG FREE BANANA BREAD! That is actually delicious! Has such a great texture! This would be AIP elimination compliant too except for sunflower seed butter.

It gave an amazing richness and texture to the banana bread! I hope you can try this recipe!Lmk how you like it! 💕 #grainfreebaking #glutenfreebaking #dairyfree #eggfreebaking #aiprecipes #aipdiet #nourishing #cook2nourish

MANGO Season calls for MANGO LASSI right? So easy to make too! If you cannot get ripe fresh mangoes where you live, you can also use frozen or canned mango pulp. I love @so_delicious ‘s unsweetened coconut yogurt. You can use any other dairy free yogurt as well! So Yummy! 😋 My kids are both grown up now but still love Mango Lassi and always order it when we go to any Indian restaurant 😀 #mangolassi #mangoseason #dairyfree #aip #allergenfreerecipes #cook2nourish

Orange Chia Pudding! This is such a delicious recipe. I wanted to share because I think the addition of orange slices takes this chia pudding to a whole new level! And second reason I wanted to share this recipe is because chia seeds have a ton of health benefits. For this reason, chia seed pudding is a recipe that’s included in my healthy weight loss program. I also encourage my clients who are doing AIP to reintroduce chia seeds as one of the first reintros! - Chia seeds are high in protein and healthy fats - Chia seeds are also rich in calcium and iron - Chia seeds have anti-inflammatory properties - Chia seeds are good for blood sugar control - Chia seeds have both soluble and insoluble fiber and so is great for your gut! Now will you try this orange chia pudding that’s so good for you and has the added benefits of Vit C with the oranges? So easy and so yummy! 😋 It makes for a good healthy breakfast or a great snack or even dessert! #chiapudding #chiabenefits #healthyrecipes #cook2nourish #bloodsugarbalance #antiinflammatory #dairyfree #healthybreakfast
