Many people think meat-less means protein deficient. Nothing could be further from the truth. Have you seen Game Changers on Netflix yet?
Being meat-less/animal-free has worked for this body for a long time, but especially the past 10 years in my post-thyroid cancer era. I simply cannot function well with someone else’s hormones in my body.
😳
Yes, seriously, whenever animal products are consumed (meat, dairy, eggs) we are ingesting some else’s hormones- and most likely- the synthetic hormones that have been pumped in to the animal to plump it up for better yield!

What’s cool about being a woman, in my opinion, is the monthly cycle. That’s right, I love the entire cycle and all that it tells me…like what is working for my body/emotions and what clearly is not.
I have done several simple food elimination 6 week trial periods that have helped me identify problem foods. Here's what I found!
🍳 When I purposefully opted out of eggs, I no longer had the obvious nausea that came after eating eggs. The mood swings also went away, it is very noticeable that I am more balanced emotionally all month long.
🍖 When I purposefully opted out of meat, the full feeling in my colon went away, of course, because there was no putrifying meat in there. My fear of colon cancer was relieved. I can’t say I noticed hormonal changes as I wasn’t eating a ton of meat to really notice, but my always goal is to prevent cancer recurrence, so hormone pumped animal flesh was easy to eliminate.
🧀 When I purposefully opted out of dairy, it was difficult! I love cheese and cheese curds! But my body didn’t like dairy. In less than a week, I was producing way less mucus, and I have to say it’s SO nice to wake up in the morning without being stuffy & phlegmy!
🍞When I purposefully opted out of wheat, the chubby tummy I’ve had since teenage years went away. Also the weird bumpy red patch on both my triceps went away.
