Are you following an AIP, Whole30, Keto, or other restrictive program to address health concerns or goals? It's extremely beneficial to have a support network of other folks with your same needs, so let's get together for lunch and help each other out! Whole Foods Market offers $2 off the hot food and salad bars every Wednesday, so let's take advantage! The Town and Country center also has a charming little farmer's market going on from 10-2 as well so we can support some local vendors as well. 🙂 The Whole Foods dining section is rather tiny so if we need a large table, we may have to meet in the outdoor seating area.

Appreciating the Female Power Role Using Ancestral Links to Our Heritage as Leaders, Healers, Teachers, Lovers and Mothers.

How is the paleo lifestyle related to social conditions such as gender, race, heritage, age, profession or sexual identity? Simple. Following a paleo diet is just one step to uncovering so much about our health and fitness potential. Women find more challenges, generally, than men when it comes to weight loss, recovery, and healing because we are exposed to all the dirty social conditioning we've collected throughout our lives and often face this invisible battle of finding our identity. Self-criticism, perfectionism, competitiveness and self-worth are conditions of the mind. Not the scale. Not the dress size. Not your job title. This is where we face stigmas and often sabotage ourselves because we continue to run on viral software programmed over a lifetime. I will discuss ways to de-program those conditioned beliefs by initiating a conversation about the ancestral female role, and how your own intuitive feelings, thoughts and desires are a reflection of those ancestral gifts. This is good for men as well, unless you are a dude who wants to continue bitching that you don't “get women”. Well here's a way to “get it”! And ladies, this is a good opportunity to learn how you can attach mind-body strength and become a follower of your intuition- not social conditioning. That doesn't mean you have to stop shaving your armpits or wearing bras, but more-so use your gifts to tune into every part of your life: work, friendship, family, motherhood, relationships, nutrition & diet, health, fitness, sport and spirituality. Some of my exercises will shock you. Bring a notepad and your favorite girly pen with pink gel ink and a feather 😉

Please park on the streets near Efficient Exercise, the coffeeshop nearby needs parking space for its own customers 🙂

Let's revive the Paleo Book Club by reading Eat the Yolks by Liz Wolfe. I hope you all snagged a Kindle copy when it was 99 cents! Liz partners with Diane Sanfillipo for the Balanced Bits podcast, which is one of the most informative and entertaining Paleo podcasts out there. In this publication, she busts many nutritional myths and backs up her nutritional advice with sound science. She's also charming and witty, so I can only imagine that the book will include some pleasantries as well. 🙂

We can gather at my house unless there are suggestions to meet elsewhere. Snacks and beverages are definitely encouraged! Please have the book read by the date of the Meetup and prepare a few highlights or bullet points that you feel are worthy of discussion.

Let's get together before school starts. Bring the kids and come meet up for a little playground playdate. Bring a snack to share if you'd like.
