The cool weather is here! FINALLY! We have had some temps in the very low 50s here in Northeast Texas. This is a much-needed change for our minds and time to get into a new rhythm.

We are already thinking about our next Quarterly Keto for Cancer Dinner! What is that, you might ask?

• learn hands-on how to support your cancer nutritionally

• meet other people who are carrying similar weights

• meet and greet your oncology nutrition practitioner

• for current & previous clients, as well as those in our cancer community who need extra encouragement

   

  A specific menu is curated, geared toward nutritionally supporting our health, and guests choose a dish or ingredient to bring. There is no other cost. This is a chance to relax and be with your people. This quarter's dinner is tentatively scheduled for the end of November when the air is crisp and cool. We plan to hold it outside, fireside, to add to the relaxing ambiance. This is an invitation-only event to keep the dinner small, manageable, and cozy. I still have a few spots open. If you want to be included in this or future dinners, text me at (903) 242-8121.

   

SEPTEMBER'S TINY TIP

Garlic contains a powerful antimicrobial called Allicin. During World War II, Russian doctors applied raw garlic to infected wounds. Present research indicates that one milligram of allicin is equivalent to 15 IUs of penicillin, so a dose of 3 cloves has the same antibacterial actions as a standard dose of penicillin.

Crushing, chopping, or pressing garlic converts the stored allicin into its bioactive compounds; letting it sit for 10 minutes after chopping, before cooking, preserves the nutrients.

Does Autumn make you think of pie? Are you wondering how to fit sweet potato pie filling into your low-glycemic or ketogenic diet or how to make it more nutrient-dense? Here you go!

Choose organic where feasible to keep your toxin load down, especially with dairy products.

1.5 cups cooked sweet potato

2 whole eggs

2 tbsp grass-fed butter

1 cup organic heavy cream

tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp himilayan salt

monkfruit drops to taste

Put all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into your favorite grain-free pastry shell. Bake at 350* for 1 hour.

here is a pie crust recipe to try!

Enjoy! 

I hope September is a great one for you and yours. We will see you next month, and as always, if you have any ideas for a tidbit in a future newsletter or your own personal triumph story to share, feel free to let me know!
