Show Notes
LIANA
- 10 years of cancer free after ending up in the hospital with a tumor
- For years ate a terrible diet full of processed foods (e.g. gummy bears, pizza)
- Had a feeling that her diet caused the tumor that blocked her lymphatic system
- If our biology is off-tilt, we won’t get the results from learning
RECIPE
- This recipe helped Liana while healing and helped her to avoid craving
- Chocolate: cacao powder is a functional food that can be eaten every day as part of a healthy diet
- Cacao helps release blood flow to the brain: what is good for your mood tends to be good for your health too
- Cacao contains magnesium, which is good for women especially
- Liana uses cacao to help when she is working late
- Book mentioned: Cancer Free with Food
KWIK CHOCOLATE BROWNIE
- Tigernuts have the same amount of protein as red meat, high in potassium
- 3 ingredients: tigernut flour, cacao powder, sweetener (e.g. monk fruit, stevia, honey)
- Roll mixture into balls or pat it into a square shape
- No-bake, but you can bake it for a little while if you wish
- You can add other ingredients if you want for functional nutrition e.g. sea salt, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, sunflower seed butter
CHANGE YOUR FOOD HABITS
- Best way to change habits is to take one small step at a time until it adds up
- Change one food in your diet at a time
- Liana gets people to ask themselves: What’s your biggest obstacle when it comes to food? What is the food that’s holding you back with your health—is it bread, gluten, meat, chocolate?
- Brain break habits: hydrating, moving, deep breathing, brain-friendly snacks
- What you eat matters, especially to your gray matter
