According to a study on brain behavior and immunity, a diet rich in processed foods can affect you not only physically, but can have side affects on mental health and wellbeing. What we put in your bodies can contribute to depression and anxiety, and effect our mood. Why? On today show we will find out!
Join Lucia and her guest Lindsey Smith, (aka the Food Mood Girl,) as they talk about the importance and connection between food and mood. Lindsey is a nationally recognized author, certified holistic health coach, speaker, and blogger. Join the conversation as we talk about why gut health is so important for our minds and moods, the science behind it, and some delicious recipes you can take with you that can reduce anxiety and stress, and feel better to live brightly and well! I am a big fan of cake. I love all of it, especially the frosting, As time has passed though and my list of allergies have grown, cake without consequences is a thing of the past.
Although I don't do it perfectly, the diet that helps me most is one called the AIP diet (Autoimmune Protocol) and helps reduce inflammation and some side effects of autoimmune issues. Needless to say, cake isn't on that list... until now! I found this recipe for the a chocolate cake a few years ago and through the years have tweaked it to make it (what I consider) perfect. I always find it unreal how a few bananas, cocoa and spices can make this wonderful creation. I have used a pastry bag full of this avocado frosting to add decor (and of course the sprinkles are not AIP, but they were fun so I went for it anyway.) If you want to make this cake check out the recipe HERE and for my tweaks, I add the extra sprinkles, and I use three 6" pans to make it a small but fierce three layer cake. We hope this cake adds some wellness, brightness and fun to your day and night! x Lucia

I followed the recent coverage of Shannen Doherty’s Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) diagnosis. My reaction was uneasy anger, hope crept in, followed and replaced by familiar resignation and disappointment. This was announced on “World Cancer Day”. The purpose for such a day?? I suppose, to raise….awareness? For….Cancer? Okay. I’m aware of this particular insidious, indiscriminate thief. Intimately. Awareness. A similar unsettledness descends in October. October was designated Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 1985. I know, you’re aware. Every October becomes a sea of pink ribbons, walks, runs and ‘Girls Night Out’ mammogram parties. A steady narrative of hope and one-and-done survivorship pervades. Mission accomplished. We’re aware. More importantly, we’re comforted. With early detection and proper treatment, breast cancer just isn’t the death sentence it once was. Really?? Stage IV Breast Cancer is unlike many other Stage IV cancers. We don’t out-live it. As long as breast cancer remains in the breast, it is Stage 0, I, II or III and treatable and no one dies. However, once the cancer spreads, metastasizes beyond the breast to major organs (commonly lungs, liver, brain) and bones, it is Stage IV, and then…Breast Cancer becomes, frankly, a death sentence. An early diagnosis, successfully treated is not always the end of the story. The not-so-happy-ending, the reality, is that roughly 30% of those ‘survivors’ will experience a metastasized recurrence. Who will be impacted and when, is inexplicably, unpredictably random. Breast cancer once declared cured or in remission, can be detected years or merely months following initial treatment for early stage disease. Equally incomprehensibly wild is the fact that of the approximately 155,000 women and men living with MBC, six to ten percent are diagnosed deNovo (from onset; first), often women under 40, the recommended age to begin annual screening. |
