Digestive Elixir

Are you feeling a bit overloaded after Christmas?

Make sure you do not make yourself feel guilty though.

After the hardship of the year that is about to end we do need softness, understanding and being really kind towards ourselves.

Just embrace the magical moments you had, whatever the celebrations looked like this year for you. Appreciate what you have and who you have in your life, embrace the magic moments of love, peace, kindness, togetherness (even if only virtually this year) and if you were spending it by yourself the relaxing and slowed down time you had.  

Enjoy the last few days of the old challenging year knowing that there is always hope for a better one being just around the corner. Life is about balance!  

What you could do now though is start planning how to balance out the indulgence that some of us might have experienced with a clean eating plan that will bring you back on track. 

It is Ok to enjoy life. We just need to know how to manoeuvre between the extremes and mostly try to be in the middle.

So what would you like to do in the New Year to make yourself feel lighter,  brighter and more energised?

We all have proven ways that work for each one of us. What works for you?

When I feel a bit overwhelmed with food I use this Elixir from our bi-annual detox program:

  • a glass of warm water,
  • juice of half a lemon (or a drop of lemon essential oil you can get it here: www.mydoterra.com/katarzynagendis),
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar,
  • pinch of sea salt,
  • 1 teaspoon of honey.

Mix well and drink first thing in the morning, minimum 20 min before any food.

If you need more support I am planning a 5 Day Body Reset group program starting the 18th of January 2021. 

More details will follow at the start of the New Year. 

The aim of the program is to reset your body and give it a clean, fresh start in the New Year. 

Are you in?? Great!

For now just still enjoy the festivities and do not worry about the rest.  

Christmas Time is Almost Here Again

It is usually a busy time for most of us now. We are running around preparing and getting ready for the celebrations. Even though it will probably not be the same Christmas as usually this year, we still would like to celebrate it the best we can.

It is a special time of increased feelings of love, warmth, gratitude, happiness, laughter and connections with friends and family.
But also, a time where we worry a bit more about our waistline and letting ourselves go again during the festivities.

There is a solution for that though. You can still enjoy your Christmas sweet treats and add to your joy rather than your waistline.

I was trying out a few things in the kitchen the other day and I accidentally came up with this simple chocolate recipe that is so delicious that your usual sweets will not be missed.

I am sharing this recipe for you to enjoy it without any guilt as it only has clean ingredients.
