Traveling Just Got Easier

Enjoying a pub in England as a digital nomad couple.

I had an exciting moment last week while traveling.

We were on our second trip coming from England to France on the Eurostar train. From the moment we entered St. Pancras train station in London, I felt a tiny bit of familiarity.

I’d been there before. I knew where I was going, and I knew what to do. However, I hadn’t appreciated it in the moment, because it didn’t really dawn on me. That would be later.

I remembered the first time we went there we didn’t give ourselves extra time, and getting through security was a tad stressful with so many unknowns. After finally getting through to the waiting area, we found it was already crowded with not much room to unload our heavy bags and relax.

But, this second time was different.

My New Book: The Carnivore Diet Handbook

by

Book cover
The Carnivore Diet Handbook

I’m excited to announce that I wrote another new book, The Carnivore Diet Handbook.

This is the book I wish I had when I started my carnivore diet.

I wrote The Carnivore Diet Handbook because I’ve been loving my experiences on a carnivore diet so far, and I wanted to share everything I’d discovered.

Tons of people are curious about this diet, and people have lots of questions. I took everything I learned about trying the carnivore diet and put it in a book.

I’ve been fascinated by health and nutrition for over twenty years, beginning at age 19 when I became a competitive bodybuilder and I would eat an entire rack of ribs (sometimes 2 racks) every day for a week leading up to a competition.

In my mid-twenties (no longer bodybuilding), I became a vegan, primarily for ethical reasons, but I dove deeply into the pro-vegan literature, and I believed veganism was the healthiest way to eat.

Then one day, I realized that my toddler daughter was not thriving (nor my husband or myself upon honest inspection). This was despite my serious commitment to providing her with what I believed was a nutritionally complete diet, and spending a small fortune in the highest quality supplements.

From vegan, to “reformed vegan,” to heart-eating carnivore…

The short version is that I’ve done a complete, 180-degree reversal from my plants-only diet days. When I’m eating a carnivore diet, I eat zero plants. I’ve even recently (finally) given up coffee (a plant extract and insecticide). I’m on day 4 for that. (I love and hate that I’ve given up coffee.)

The reasons why, the potential benefits, and “how to” instructions for trying the carnivore diet for yourself are what this book is all about.

The book is filled with all things carnivore diet:

  • My carnivore diet story and I how I came to try it including my skeptic’s tale(!)
  • The results I’ve experienced since being on it twice
  • FAQs about the carnivore diet (like, do I need veggies??? what about fiber???)
  • Tips for transitioning to a carnivore diet
  • Holidays on a carnivore diet
  • Traveling on a carnivore diet
  • Meal plans
  • Shopping list
  • Cooking tips
  • Plenty of mouth-watering meaty recipes

If you’re wondering about how you could feel better, get more energy, lessen inflammation in your body, and lose weight, then a carnivore diet might be for you!

I Quit Caffeine and Coffee Because of My Carnivore Diet – Wish Me Luck!

by

Coffee jar insecticide

Today is my first day going without coffee in a long time.

God, I hope I can do it this time. I’ve tried half-heartedly over the years when inspiration would hit that it might not be the best thing to drink every day.

I’d read a study saying coffee was healthy, and I’d load up on it. Then, I’d read one that said it could have toxins in it, mold, and just generally nasty things. Following, I’d get the urge to get off it.

Then, I’d say, “fuck it” because I love coffee so much in all the different ways you can drink it. I’d drink it. Then, I’d rethink it and I’d scale back a bit. Then, I’d go back to loving it because it seemed too much of a loved ritual to give it up. Then, again, I’d feel stressed drinking it and give it up. Fuck, I’m a mess.

I was a wreck over coffee.

I knew I was addicted to it. It’s a drug after all. Still, I could talk myself into drinking it or not, at any moment. Back and forth.

Deep down though, my intuition told me too many times to cut caffeine out of my life.

Years ago I gave up caffeine and it was great. I told others how they, too, could give up caffeine.

Then, I slowly added it back to my life. Sometimes regular coffee, sometimes not. I’d drink half-caffeine, fully leaded, and sometimes drink decaf all day long. The point is that I kept drinking it.

Today, I decided to stop cold-turkey.

I had a reason.

My Digital Nomad Life (So Far)

by

Me working on ipad

We’re living the dream we had. We sold it all and moved abroad to live a digital nomad life. It’s working, more specifically, we’re working. We’re making it happen.

We originally decided to live a digital nomad life, as a family, because we could. We both essentially work from laptops and there was no reason to stay tied to Arizona.

We homeschool our daughter so that wasn’t a factor either. In the following picture we’re investigating a dead bat that was brought to us as a gift from the cat of the house.

Homeschool with bat

We wanted to run and explore the world. We wanted to move around and change it up on a regular basis. And. We wanted to save money. Living abroad, in many places, makes it easier to save money if you’re living the digital nomad life.

So, here we are moving around Europe at a pretty quick clip, living a digital nomad lifestyle. Taking trains and planes (I can’t decide which I like better, though probably trains). We’re trying different areas and seeing if we fancy anyplace in particular to stay longer.

I think we’re traveling too fast though.

I heard someone describe it: speed dating countries.

The 3 Best Travel Day Supplements

Travel Day Supplements

I take three specific travel day supplements on travel days.

And, they always help me stay healthy. Whether I’m traveling by airplane or train, I get a boost for my immune system with these. I stay healthy and avoid getting sick. Yay! 💪🏼 💥

Sadly, it’s common for people to get sick after a traveling day.

I mean, who wants to get sick just before a vacation? Not me.

A number of factors contribute to people getting sick from travel day.

  • There are crowds of people in places like airports, train stations, and subway stations, inevitably with some who are sick.
  • We are usually in confined areas (think airplanes), where you can’t get enough fresh, clean air and people are sharing germs.
  • We often lack sleep due to travel days being long and starting early in the morning.
  • And, let’s not forget stress. The excitement or anxiety of traveling depresses the immune system.
  • Lastly, our diets tend to suffer. Many of us eat more sugars and refined carbohydrates out of convenience.

Not a problem for me though.

I found three travel day supplements that greatly boost my immune system, and they help prevent me from getting sick, in spite of a travel day being harsh on my body.
