Commercial formulas are highly processed and most contain additives, synthetic vitamins in hard-to-absorb forms and rancid fats. In addition, they do not match the nutrient profile of breast milk. This recipe uses grass-fed, raw cow’s milk as a base and additional ingredients are added to match the nutrient profile of human breast milk.
Tip: If you are in a pinch and have to use commercial formula, supplement it with an egg yolk and ½ tsp fish oil, cod liver oil, or fermented cod liver oil.
One of the most common questions I get from my clients is about supplements. Do we need to take them? What brand? How do I know what to take? What supplements are good for general wellness?
I have listed 5 great supplements that can provide a foundational support for your health. However, you may need different or additional nutrients, depending on your unique health status, history, and environment. (more…)
With the ever increasing toxicity of this planet’s oceans, plus last year’s Fukushima’s radiation disaster, all fish from every ocean will soon be contaminated with radiation. So I do not recommend consuming fish frequently, at most once or twice a week. You should also be concerned with any seaweeds, chlorella or spirulina that you consume, as these aquatic plants are also at risk of radiation and heavy metal toxicity.
Mercury is a major concerning contaminant in fish. As a general rule, larger fish contain higher levels of toxins because they eat smaller fish and assimilate those toxins in their own tissues. This process is called biomagnification and it holds true for all animals.
If you are taking fish oils, beware of the quality of your product. Often, supplements contain high levels of mercury and other heavy metals. Nordic Naturals is a high quality company that purifies their fish oils so well that their products contain at least 10 times less contamination than the EPA’s allowable limits.
