The Sensitive Canadian: B Vitamins
http://sensitivecanadian.blogspot.com/2012/04/b-vitamins.html
Because life can be better. Friday, 6 April 2012. B vitamins are, for many, the biggest favour a person can do for their body. Ten years ago, I couldn't believe the difference they made in my life. That said, there are caveats at the beginning. And many people worry about becoming 'addicted' to vitamins. So here are some things I learned while researching to figure out what vitamins I wanted. Should you get your doctor's advice before setting up an intensive protocol for yourself? That said, I went back ...

The Sensitive Canadian: Paleo or Primal Pregnancy. What Can It Mean for Mother and Child?
http://sensitivecanadian.blogspot.com/2012/03/paleo-or-primal-pregnancy-what-can-i.html
Because life can be better. Friday, 30 March 2012. Paleo or Primal Pregnancy. What Can It Mean for Mother and Child? My second pregnancy, I was borderline diabetic. I was HUGE. That is the child who was so ill. I often wonder, if I had been primal, would he have been so severely ill? I don't think so. For too many reasons to list. Even baby #3 reacts to gluten, though I was insanely gf. I kid you not. That 3rd pg was rockin! I felt like Wonder Woman. It's not medical peoples' faults though. Their tra...

The Sensitive Canadian: September 2008
http://sensitivecanadian.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Because life can be better. Tuesday, 23 September 2008. I have a girlfriend who insists that crock pots are for old ladies. Yes, she does have one but feels incredibly self-conscious about it. Well, if that's true, then hand me a cane and. Colour my hair blue. because I have TWO! I love them so much that I almost always have both of them going, all seasons of the year, never clean and empty, and never put away. and if I could, I'd have three. Sadly though, I have run out of crock pot counter space. This ...

The Sensitive Canadian: April 2012
http://sensitivecanadian.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Because life can be better. Monday, 16 April 2012. It is always interesting to think about the ratio of vegetable to meat intake and what is appropriate. I find myself leaning toward thinking we should eat a higher percentage of plant matter. However, in daily practice, end up eating a lot more meat. Recently having exchanged a purple onion craving for a liver pate craving has been an interesting recent occurrence for me. It is an interesting idea. This is today's read that I am pondering:. Just 100 g of...

The Sensitive Canadian: Eating By The Earth
http://sensitivecanadian.blogspot.com/2012/03/eating-by-earth.html
Because life can be better. Monday, 19 March 2012. Eating By The Earth. We don't have to kill our own food today to practice the paleo food lifestyle BUT many people do not comprehend what 'living off the land' really looks like until you ask them to 'find your food' rather than shop for it. Part of a paleo/primal diet is about being more aware of the earth around us and what it has to offer. What would you eat if there were no grocery store? Go outside. Why not? Does access change seasonally? And a very...

The Sensitive Canadian: April 2010
http://sensitivecanadian.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Because life can be better. Friday, 16 April 2010. Everyone likes to talk about recovery drinks these days. Think about what they contain though and be careful about your choices. Some of them contain more sugar than anything else. It is possible to make your own recovery drink but do think about your choices and research them before filling your body with them. As always rotation gives the body breaks from ingredients that it needs breaks from. Links to this post. Thursday, 8 April 2010. The (gluten fre...

The Sensitive Canadian: Paleo Kids
http://sensitivecanadian.blogspot.com/2012/03/paleo-kids.html
Because life can be better. Wednesday, 28 March 2012. People ask if I homeschool my kids to keep them away from the SAD. Last year, due to work circumstances, we sent them to school for the first time (ages 5, 11 and 13). A child once told me a teacher called candy "brain food". I'm sure she was a great academic teacher. But as with most of the general public, she really had no idea how damaging all this garbage is for humans. I realize that people think I am extreme when it comes to food. I don't mi...

The Sensitive Canadian: August 2008
http://sensitivecanadian.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Because life can be better. Saturday, 23 August 2008. Recovery Regimen: Enter, The Smoothie. We've been doing vitamin smoothies for a long time now. Smoothies are great for hiding all kinds of things in. I've hidden cabbage juice in them, celery juice, carrot juice and even pureed sea vegetables. But mostly I've used them to hide vitamins in. So, about six months in to our diet, I started a therapeutic regimen of vitamins for all of us (after a LOT of research into vitamins and minerals). Now, I had ...
