Nutrition

You don’t have to wait for a diagnosis to start taking your health seriously. In fact, the best time to start is before anything is wrong. That’s what prevention is all about—and that’s exactly what The FAM Philosophy is here to help you do.

Years ago, before I knew what I was actually allergic/sensitive to, I had to go on a pretty extreme elimination diet. No eggs, no dairy, no gluten to name a few. Which made birthday cakes near impossible! I tried every vegan and gluten free cake I could find, from store bought to recipes, and this is what I came up with. It's moist, rich, and oh-so-chocolatey! The best part is, it's also customizeable based on your dietary preferences. This is how I make it!

Preventative nutrition isn’t about extremes—it’s about awareness.And awareness creates choice. By choosing foods that actually support your body instead of depleting it, you’re not just eating better. You’re living better.

I love egg salad. Like LOVE. Unfortunately, eggs don't like me so much. I found out a few years ago that I have a mild allergy to eggs, and since then I've kept them at a minimum. Which means, no egg salad. I've experimented with so many "substitutes," but this mashed chickpea sandwich tastes like the real deal. It's SO good and even more nutritious than the egg salad (win-win!).

With warmer weather right around the corner, I always tend to crave salads. This one came about one day when I just threw together some ingredients I had in the house. Since then, it's become a staple in my warm weather meals! Even my avocado-hating husband enjoys it!

Shopping at the farmer’s market is one of the simplest and most empowering ways to support your long-term health. It's a practical step toward preventative nutrition, low-tox living, and eating with intention—and bonus: it tastes incredible.

When you learn to nourish your body intentionally, you change your future. And that’s what prevention really is: the radical belief that you have a say in your health story.

Eating 5–6 small meals a day isn't just a nutrition hack—it’s a form of preventative care. It helps reduce inflammation, balance hormones, fuel recovery, and protect your long-term health.

This is one of my favorite meals. It's nutritious, filling, and so tasty! The best part though is that it's quick and easy to make! Just throw it all in the crock pot and go about your day. You'll come home to the most delicious smelling kitchen, your belly won't be able to help but rumble.

Letting go of alcohol hasn’t been about deprivation. It’s been about liberation—reclaiming my time, energy, and focus for the things that truly matter.

Keto, however, should come with a guidebook to help those who are interested. Since it doesn't, I've made my own! Read on below to make sure you are following a healthy keto plan.
