The Day I Failed My Gestational Diabetes Test

Posted by Angela Parker

· No Comments

8 years ago… I was in my second trimester of my first pregnancy…

Everything was going well…

until I was 28 weeks and went for my gestational diabetes screening test.

I thought “I’m the healthiest person I know!” I got this!

But when my results came back that I had failed…

I was crushed.

I was shocked.

I felt all alone.

I needed a plan, but I honestly didn’t have any support system set up for myself.

All the recipes I had were “healthy” but used grains, beans, fruits, starchy vegetables. read more

Eggs are a really popular way to start your day if you are trying to eat low carb… but eating eggs every morning can get old, amiright?

OH SNAP! – It got cold fast! (I’m jumping up and down in my fuzzy socks and hoodie)

  • and I’m SUPER cold natured….

So this means that I need a warm, toasty drink to warm me up! 

What if my warm drink:

  • gave me superfoods to keep me healthy through the winter
  • fuel to help me stay away from the nagging SUGAR CRAVINGS
  • energy to keep me going all day long
  • and collagen to keep my skin healthy in the cold, dry air.

Now that would be a magical drink right there…

AND what if it also tasted like HOT CHOCOLATE! 

“Angela, there is NO way that I could drink broccoli, cauliflower, beets, Blue Green Algae, Parsley, Spinach, Alfalfa…. and it taste good.”

I know, I know…. I didn’t believe it either. But I tried it… and my kids tried it… and my friends tried it… read more

The One Breakfast Hack That Can Transform Your Morning

Posted by Angela Parker 
· October 3, 2017 

You’ve always heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day… and it really can set the tone for not only how much you get done that day… but also your mood, your energy, and your metabolism.

One of the biggest problems I see is that people are so busy, they don’t have time to start their day the right way… they grab a quick breakfast that is loaded with carbs.

Maybe it’s because of our busy lifestyles but breakfast tends to become “morning dessert”. Think about the typical hotel “continental” breakfast, or what many of us tend to grab in the morning from Starbucks on the way to work: read more

It is a combination of butter, coconut oil OR MCT oil and coffee. The best version of Bulletproof coffee is 2 parts butter to 1 part MCT oil. read more

I was learning about collagen recently when I was researching about our skin and how to keep our youthful glow…

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our entire body and it’s main goal is used as a connective tissue. The intake of collagen ensures the cohesion, elasticity and regeneration of skin, hair, tendon, cartilage, bones and joints. It is composed of the individual amino acids Glycine, Proline, Hydroxyproline and Arginine and in nature is found exclusively in animal tissue, especially bones and connective tissue. read more
