Struggle with gut issues?

Do these 13 things to improve your gut health dramatically in the next 60 days:

1. 5-10g of glutamine and a cup of high quality bone broth on an empty stomach in the morning

These will help heal the lining of the gut, decreasing intestinal permeability and reducing symptoms of leaky gut

2. Remove all gluten, corn, soy, industrialized seed oils, legumes and commercial dairy for at least 60 days

These foods can all be irritating to the gut. It is wise to remove them for 60 days while you let your gut heal, then introduce small amounts one at a time

CROCK POT THREAD

Crock pot meals are extremely convenient to throw together in the morning, then have a hot dinner waiting for you at the end of the day

Here are 8 of my favorite crock pot recipes that you can set and forget:

Barbacoa:

3 lb chuck
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
2 chipotle peppers in adobo
4 oz can of green chiles
½ cup beef stock
1 white onion, chopped
Juice of 2 limes
3 bay leaves
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp. black pepper
2 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground cloves

Cut your chuck into cubes and sear over high heat.

Cook in a crock pot until the meat shreds easily with a fork (approximately 6-8 hours on low, 3-4 hours on high)

Serve as a burrito bowl, tacos, etc with any toppings you'd like!

Crock Pot Beef Stew

Take a 3 lb chuck and cut it into cubes, season with salt & pepper, then sear on all sides

Reduce heat to medium low, then add 1 large diced yellow onion and saute for 5 minutes, then add 4 cloves of garlic and saute for 1 minute

Make sure to scrape any fond off the bottom of the pan, and use a splash of broth or wine to help it release if necessary

Add to crock pot with:

1 cup red wine
4 cups beef broth (10x better with homemade broth)
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
3 tbsp Tomato Paste
5 medium carrots
1 lb Yukon gold potatoes
2 bay leaves
1 sprig rosemary
1 thyme sprig

Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the meat is tender
Optional: To thicken, combine ¼ cup COLD water with 3 tbsp of cornstarch or arrowroot starch. Slowly add it to the stew, stirring to incorporate.

Turn off the heat. Swirl in 2 tablespoons of cold butter for a smooth, velvety finish.

After running numerous polls, people’s biggest issue when it comes to eating healthy is TIME

Here are my favorite dead simple, easy recipes that can save you time during the week:

Easy Chuck:

Season a chuck roast well with salt and pepper

Bake in the oven (covered) at 325 until it easy shreds (anywhere from 2.5-4 hours depending on the size)

Shred it, toss it in its own juices, then bake at 425 uncovered for 15 minutes

The edges will get crispy and caramelized but it will still be juicy and tender

2 minutes prep time, zero active cooking time. Amazing for meal prep or a weeknight dinner

Yes, you can add any other seasonings or aromatics you like!

Easy Bolognese

Simply cook ground meat of choice (you can add garlic, basil or crushed pepper if you want) then add a jar of tomato sauce

Let it simmer for 10 minutes then serve with your pasta of choice!
