Nutrient dense living is for those who want more from nutrient dense foods.

Nutrient dense living is a bit more than just consuming nutrient dense foods. 

It's about developing an awareness that changes the way you look at food and the way that you consume these foods.

Nutrient dense living is basically a trifecta of important choices that will culminate into a powerful lifestyle for you and your family.     

1.  Consuming nutrient dense foods and learning what qualities to look for in these foods.

2.  Learning how to properly prepare nutrient dense foods to get the most health benefits.

3.  Becoming involved with growing or raising some of these nutrient dense foods yourself.

You can have access to nutrient dense foods 24 hours a day - every day!

Nutrient dense food is getting more expensive by the day and some of these foods are becoming very hard to find!

One solution........................

Raising your own chickens provides you with plenty of nutrient dense eggs and meat!  I absolutely love raising chickens for eggs.

I have a good amount of experience with many different breeds of chickens from working at numerous farms.  I think one of the biggest obstacles for people is, "what do chickens eat?".

Once you understand how to properly feed chickens, it's really enjoyable to raise them.  I'll teach you everything I know.

Because there's nothing better than having access to fresh eggs from pastured chickens - they are truly the best eggs to consume!

How about this solution............

Create an organic garden, so that you can have access to seasonal nutrient dense fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

I helped to create a fairly large-sized no-dig market garden at a farm I lived at for about a couple of years in Florida. 

We built about 26 beds that were mainly 30 feet long.  That's a lot of beds to keep planted at all times!

It took an incredible amount of work to build that garden, but I learned what to do and what not to do.

One of the most important lessons that I learned is - now listen carefully!

You need to have quality compost to create nutrient dense soil in order to grow nutrient dense foods.

Otherwise, you will always be in the weeds so to speak.  That's because you will have more pest and weed pressure with deficient soil.

Growing food can be a challenge, but it's so worth it once you find out how deficient food is at the grocery store.

It helped that my boyfriend had a good amount of knowledge and experience with gardening.

But it was overwhelming to constantly produce or find more compost for the garden.

The fun part about the market garden was that we grew so many varieties of fruits and vegetables that I never even knew existed.

Beautiful purple carrots.

Flashy trout back lettuce.

These were some of the most beautiful carrots that we grew during the fall of 2022 and I believe we grew the flashy trout back lettuce during the winter of the previous year.

Don't worry, I will share what I've learned in the past few years about organic gardening.  Especially, about how to make compost.

This solution is my favorite............

Having nutrient dense raw dairy on hand, so that you can make nutrient dense homemade ice cream.

It would be ideal to have your very own dairy cow to have fresh dairy available at all times.

That is a dream of mine and hope to have a dairy cow one day, but for now I must rely on dairy farmers.

Finding a reputable source of raw milk is usually the first thing that I do when moving or considering a move to a new location. 

I consider raw milk as one of the most important nutrient dense foods on the planet!

Raw milk is a big staple in our household and sometimes I think I love it too much. 

These days, I'm having to make more of an effort to consume easy to digest protein besides what I get from raw milk.

I've found that proper nutrition is "in the details".  If you don't have enough details - you won't get very far.

Sure it's easy to say, "just eat this and totally eliminate that and everything will be just fine."

Unfortunately, real life does not work that way.  You must have a deeper understanding of how to provide the best nutrition for your body.

It will be a little overwhelming when you look into nutrient dense foods and nutrient dense living will take a little time to master, but it's so Worth it!

Nutrient dense living may be the perfect website for you if ...........

Homesteading, gardening, raising chickens, and growing healthy soil turn you on! 

You also dream of owning your own A2 dairy cow or goat, so that you can have access to the very high in demand A2 raw milk.

Your tired of searching high and low for nutrient dense raw dairy foods.

And you want to learn how to make your own raw butter, raw cream, and other raw dairy foods.  Stay tuned!

Your tired of the adrenaline rush from consuming too much salt and cooked foods.  Especially, since it AGEs you! 

You desire to learn a healthier and relaxing way to consume your nutrient dense foods.

You are also interested in consuming raw foods or adding more raw foods into your diet.

You have already done some research on the subject and now your just looking for more inspiration as well as recipes like shrimp ceviche.

What lead me down this road ..........

Do you have a personal story that lead you to searching for better health and nutrient dense living?

My journey began when I was about 18 years old and still continues to this day now that I'm 64.  Although, I know a lot more than I did then.

My health challenges started during my early teenage years. 

I'm pretty convinced that it was all of the junk food that I ate as a child that resulted in lots of mercury fillings being put into my teeth.

Cutting down on junk food and removing those toxic fillings was just the beginning of my journey back to health. 

When I got pregnant and had my daughter I knew that I would have to figure out the truth about nutrition or it was going to be a nightmare. 

I began to experiment with many different types of diets to figure out the truth.

The pinnacle of my journey was when I decided to become a CNA or certified nurses assistant for a few years.

What I saw during those years not only disturbed me, but made me even more determined to learn the "real" truth about nutrition.

That's when I truly decided to never end up sick and trapped like what I had witnessed.  That pledge is what pushed me into discovering the best way to consume nutrient dense foods.

Always choose quality over quantity!

Look for quality over quantity when it comes to choosing your foods.  It is best to contact companies and ask questions about what animals were fed or how plant foods were grown.

For example: buying meat that comes from cows grazing on pastures all day instead of factory farmed cows that eat toxic feed.

You have to look beyond, "a great sales price" or "buying in bulk" these days. 

What's the point of eating a lot of meat or anything else that wasn't raised or grown properly?

Nutrient dense foods should supply nutrients that your body craves and needs without adding toxins that your body will have to get rid of by the way. 

Intermittent fasting anyone?

Many people are into fasting these days, to give their bodies a break.

Probably because their exposed to toxins which includes cooked food toxins.  A lack of enzymes could be another reason.

Have you ever just stuffed your face silly, but your still not satisfied?

It could be the quality of the food you're consuming isn't supplying all the nutrients that your body needs or your not properly digesting your food.

Usually, you will need to fix both of these issues.

If your not satisfied, you might be in need of whole vitamins and enzymes that eating raw foods can only provide.

Did you know there is a big difference between feeding the cells of your body and just eating till your full?

Sometimes your cravings will tell you what your body needs.  If you have a craving for salt, it could actually mean that you need foods high in minerals.

I'll do my best to teach you what I know, so that you can be more in charge of your cravings and experience nutrient dense living!
