Gluten Free Raw Foods Recipes to the Rescue: Healthy Habits Lead to Happy Hormones
Gluten free diets have been lauded for every thing from autism to eczema, asthma to ADD. But have you ever considered that gluten may be wrecking your sex life?
Can such a tiny little protein as gluten, found in all your favorite breads, pastas, desserts and breakfast cereals really create havoc in so many parts of your body?
The research overwhelmingly says YES!By destroying your hormones and the glands that produce them, gluten leaves no body part unscathed, even if your symptoms are confined to a few select areas. The problem is, much of the damage caused by gluten is silent, until you reach a critical threshold, them fall apart.
Magic Moments Candies
This is especially true of gluten induced osteoporosis.I’ve seen it happen over and over again.So what’s the solution? Is there a magic drug or herb or procedure you can do to cure the damage gluten creates in your body?
The good news is, the answer doesn’t require any drugs, radiation or special surgical procedure,it’s not dependent on hormone replacement or herbal remedies.
It’s not something that acupuncture or chiropractic can cure either, although both can be helpful in repairing the damage.
In fact the solution is absolutely free.
The answer is at the tip of your fork, your most powerful healing tool.
Drum roll please.
The solution is to stop eating gluten, which means no more bread, pie, cookies, crackers, bagels, croissants, breakfast cereal….
YIKES. So, what’s left to eat?

Enter the wonderful world of raw foods.
You think all that processed CR_P is good, what until you taste the real thing.
And no, I don’t mean connect to the awesomeness of a carrot and make love with romaine lettuce – although eating food straight from nature is in fact the ideal.
What I mean is the magic that happens when someone who really had a knack for flavors and textures and bringing out the delicate essence of fresh whole food turns the ordinary into the extraordinaire.
Take for example the photos sprinkled throughout this article. They are the foods we make in Eating for Hormone Balance. Let’s face it! your hormones need and want lots of produce…cruciferous vegetables, sea vegetables, sprouts, high quality fats, They’re thrown off by white flour, white sugar, processed fats, preservatives and hormones in your foods.

Flatten Your Belly with Simple and effective summer cleansing smoothie strategies
As I get ready for my quarterly Green Smoothie Cleanse, I’ve been pondering the concept of time.
Somehow it seems there is never quite enough time to complete all I would like to do.One way I buy back some time is by doing cleanses. That may seem like a strange comment.
Let me explain
Have you ever calculated how much time it takes you to plan meals, make meals, eat meals and clean up after meals? There is a bit of a time investment. Even if you’re eating out a lot, thinking you don’t have the time to prepare your own meals, the time savings is not that as great as you think, considering you have to drive to a restaurant, order the food, wait for it to arrive, eat it, pay for it and drive home. Even the fast food drive through concept takes time, and unless you eat while driving, there’s still the time it takes to chew your meal.
Some cleanses save time, some require additional time.
Water fasts require the least amount of time at all. No prep, no cleanup. The problem with water fasts is that your metabolism slows down and you can’t quite accomplish all that you might when you’re eating. The good news about fasting is that your appetite goes away after about four days.
Juice cleanses are the most time consuming, especially if you’re dedicated to drinking the 3-4 quarts a day of juice generally recommended to cleanse effectively. It takes me the better part of an hour per quart to prepare the foods for juicing, juice and cleanup. Juicing is similar to water fasting in that your metabolism slows down and different in that you feel hungry all the time. My experience is that my appetite doesn’t go away after four days as with fasting. The lower energy makes me less productive.
Cleanses that require potions and powders, enemas and other cleansing rituals are very effective but it’s very time consuming to make all the potions, do the enemas and cleansing rituals, meditate and rest in between as suggested. I once read about a cleanse that sounded great, and I was all ready to begin. Unfortunately it required several enemas a day, cleansing baths, skin brushing and other rituals, in addition to special teas, drinks and foods. The only way I could have done it was to take time off.
Of course, the most effective cleansing occurs when you take a break from your day to day and dedicate your time to the cleansing process. I did 28 day supervised water fast once. I was at a health center and all I did was drink water, rest, walk a bit and read. It changed my life. I highly recommend that everyone take a month to cleanse sometime. It’s the best.
Unfortunately, not everyone has that opportunity, so we fit periodic cleansing into our day to day routine.
That’s why my current cleanse of choice is a green smoothie cleanse. It may not be as deep a cleanse as a water or juice fast, but it certainly has amazing results.
Every 3 months, I take a 7 day break from chewing and fats and I drink green smoothies
morning, noon and night. I have plenty of energy to work, exercise and enjoy my family. I save precious hours of food prep, chewing and cleanup. Smoothies are easy to make, quick to clean up after and take a lot less time to consume than the equivalent quantity of fresh produce would take to eat.
When you make them as I suggest, between 40 and 60% green and 40 – 60% fruit, they provide an abundance of minerals, amino acids and anti-oxidants. Leaving out the fat gives you’re a liver a break and allows it to devote more cycles to cleansing.
I lead my very first online green smoothie cleanse about 4 years ago, informally with about 25 people. It was so successful I created an official program with recipes, menu plans, shopping lists and lots of bonuses.
It’s evolved now to a full website with videos, audios, a support forum, bonuses, and daily journals and coaching questions.
I’m getting ready to lead another cleanse starting Monday, and I am so ready.
This cleanse will be a bit different for me in that I’ll be in Tucson, staying at my sister’s house. She’s done my Green Cleanse before, and she’s excited that she’ll get to do it with me in person.
We kick off on Monday evening, with a teleseminar called:
“The Art of Cleansing with Greens- Putting Your Best Food First to Get Started “
Later in the week we’ll have a teleseminar called “Gut Healing Secrets” and I’ll do some Spotlight Coaching and answer your questions.
Our last teleseminar of the cleanse is “Eating Healthy in The Real World: Tips and Tricks for Taming Emotional and Social Eating and Living in a Body You Love”
The cleanse includes full access the calls and all the materials, coaching, recipes and guidance of for a full 7 days.
For a limited time, we’re including these extra bonuses:
Early Bonus 1: Eliminate the Gluten and Accelerate Your Health – a special report containing information and inspiration packed articles, recipes and foods to avoid lists for gluten free diets.
Early Bonus 2: Balancing Your Hormones Recording - A 90 minute audio class in mp3 format containing diet and lifestyle tips for optimal weight, vibrant energy, strength, stamina, and joyful longevity.

Early Bonus 4: Balancing Your Hormones e-book – Complete written transcripts of the entire 90 minute Balancing Your Hormones audio, as an e-book in PDF format.
Please comment below and answer these questions:
Have you ever cleansed? If so, what’s your favorite way?
Love, Health and Joy,
Dr. Ritamarie
