Healthy Fats and Proteins Satiate Your Appetite

Pro Tip:

Don't skip the salt! Adding some grey Celtic salt or pink Himalayan salt to any dish can bring out the flavors and provide much needed trace minerals that our bodies need to function optimally!

Salt is made up of sodium and chloride. Chloride provides the building blocks of the hydrochloric (HCL) acid in your stomach. If your body is not producing enough acid in your stomach, the sphincter at the opening to your esophegus will not close, and you will wind up with heartburn.

The good news is, you don't have to since it is low carb and loaded with healthy fats to satiate your appetite. Fats and proteins help you stay fuller longer without the need for constant carb and sugar reloads every 3-4 hours.

Do you need a Natural Medicine Practitioner in Naples FL, to be your partner in health?

What if you had a blueprint that explained how you could improve your health with simple tests you could do yourself at home?

When it comes to medical care these days, I’ll just come out and say it. It stinks!

Unfortunately doctors do not have solutions for chronic conditions. They are great with emergency services and ok with acute care, though this can be improved too.

But what about all the rest of the people who are suffering with chronic issues? Doctors only know how to recommend pills or surgery and then these just lead to compound conditions that they recommend, more pills and surgery for.

For crying out loud, let’s get to the bottom of these chronic issues rather than putting band-aids on them and telling people to in their heads! Are you with me?

If you want to learn how to improve your health by learning to do simple cost effective self-tests at home, then my new 12 week Bio-Individuality Coaching™ Program might be just what you’re looking for.

Alternatively, if you are looking for a direct primary care natural medicine practitioner to help educate you on how to manage your health, order labs, provide professional quality supplement recommendations and partner with you in making lifestyle changes, Fx Remedies Virtual Care will be a good fit.
