    Corn is a grain. Thus, cornbread is not grain-free.

      Hi, Justus! The cornbread recipe on this page is actually a paleo version. It doesn’t have corn in it. It is similar in texture but made with coconut flour. 🙂

  • 💗 resilience is the ability to cope with and adapt to challenges and change • doing hard things every day helps grow your resilience muscle • the magic happens in the consistent daily habits • life doesn’t get easier• you have to get more steadfast and strong 💪💗
  • 🏋🏼 1 in 2 people in the US will develop cancer • what the actual heck? • while there are many factors that affect this, genetics is only about 5% 

🏋🏼 what can you do? • build a lifestyle  that decreases your risk daily 

🏋🏼 there are many things that are out of your control • here are the things you CAN control: 

• your diet 
• your sleep 
• the amount of exercise you do 
• the amount of drainage/detox support you do 
• the amount of daily toxins you come in contact with in your home environment (food, air, water, personal care/cleaning products) 

🏋🏼 be proactive • your future health depends on it • you got this 💗
  • 💪💗 take radical ownership of your own life and health • don’t wait for other people to dictate what’s good for you or your family • especially if they have a financial interest in the things they are advocating or mandating • you know what’s best for you 💗
  • ☕️🏋️‍♂️ we all have our vices • i feel better, have more energy, and am a MUCH nicer human when i do these things regularly 

☕️ a coffee enema involves introducing organic, mold free coffee into the colon • the caffeine stimulates the liver and gall bladder to push out bile which carries toxins from your liver into your colon • it also helps the liver produce more glutathione, which is your master antioxidant • besides increased liver detoxification and glutathione production, coffee enemas also can :

- cleanse the bowels 
- improve digestion
- increase bile flow/gall bladder function 
- flush out parasites 
- help with clearer skin 

🏋️‍♂️ lifting heavy weights fires up the metabolism and helps increase lean muscle • muscle is the economy of aging • having a strong metabolism reduces risk for insulin resistance, diabetes, cancer, cardiac issues, dementia, and other chronic conditions • it also gives you more energy, a better mood, and a stronger, more resilient body as you age
