Grass fed beef is a healthy choice in moderation. It’s especially good for those who need iron, warmth and protein. Enter in the thyroid client. She most likely needs all three. Gone are the days of nutrition school that scolded such a practice.

Now, I advise very limited consumption of commercial beef. That stuff just gives me the ebby jebbsys! If you have a weak digestive system aka as bloating, passing wind and burping your abc’s in a not so stylish fashion then you might want to consider a digestive aid when consuming beef. Why?

Studies suggest that a good functioning digestive system only breaks down and absorbs beef by about, oh say 60%. Translation: beef can putrefy in your gut and irritate your cell walls causing inflammation, poor digestion and inflammation.

So the good news is that I made up a tray of beef nachos using 1/2 a lb of beef. They were awesome! I was immensely satisfied and hope you will be too.

Are you ready for some deliciousness?

1/2 beef
1 large onion, chopped
Celtic sea salt & pepper
Cumin
1-2 organic garlic cloves and powder
1/4 cup parsley or other green chopped
Simply Organic salsa
Herbs of your choice

1 Avocado
1 Organic block of parmasean cheese
1 bag Organic Tortilla chips

Turn oven on to 350 degrees.

Stir fry beef on med-low heat until near cooked. Add in onions, salt, pepper, cumin to your liking (1/2 tsp to start), parsley and garlic. Stir and cook till done. Add in few tablespoons of salsa to moisten the meat. Set aside.

Meanwhile, lay the corn chip on a large tray or two. Sprinkle on he meat sauce and your desired amount of parmesan cheese. (are you hungry yet?)

Pop in the oven for 10 minutes to allow the cheese to melt on top. While the cheese is melting I mash up an avocado (no dairy needed) into a bowl to serve with extra salsa and nachos.

You can serve this along side of mixed greens with grated a carrot or beet!

Tadaaa! Enjoy lovelies! xo.
If you love these send me a note!

TISSUE SALTS

Tissue salts are derived from minerals which are natural constituents of geological formations and
vitally important to the proper functioning of the body’s cellular system. Earth’s plant-life extracts minerals from the soil and assimilates it into their structure. In this process minerals are separated into minute particles referred to as micro molecular, which can be absorbed and assimilated by the body’s cellular structure.

These high quality tissue salts are affordable priced and are shipped world wide.

Tissue salts are prepared according to homeopathic principles. A particular mineral, extracted from the soil and cleansed for human use is then blended with a powder-based tablet. This blending causes the mineral to split into minute particles called a biochemical tissue salt. It is
also referred to as a cell salt, as these minute mineral particles are small enough to permeate the tiny openings of a cell membrane.

Certain Properties and Characteristics of Tissue Salts

◾Tissue salts are not drugs
◾Tissue salts are non-habit forming
◾Tissue salts have no side effects
◾Tissue salts can be used by a person of any age and animals. They are also safe for pregnant women and children.
◾Tissue salts correct the causes of an abnormal condition allowing the body to heal and restore within.
◾Tissue salts can be combined with conventional and alternative medicines and remedies.
◾Tissue salts can be taken anytime and do not depend on food intake.
◾Tablets should be kept in a waterproof container as the powder base locks the cell salts in.
◾Tissue salt tablets are placed dry underneath the tongue and allowed to dissolve.
◾Tissue salts have an immediate effect.
◾Tissue salts correct body functions on a cellular level, i.e. on the most basic level of existence.

For a list of all 27 individual tissue/cell salts and their uses have a look over here.

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Our body provides us with information that can help us live and function more efficiently. We just need to know how to read those signs. When we are ill our skin becomes pale, sometimes our cheeks are flushed and the skin around our eyes become swollen with darker pigment.

As we grow older more distinct lines on our face become prominent. Consider the meaning behind these lines. They are present in young and adults and even in some children.

Have you considered why some of us are prone to Adult acne and some to redness around the cheeks and yet not others.

Have a close look at your forehead. Are there horizontal wrinkles becoming more prominent? Are there age spots that are otherwise known as liver and kidney spots there now?

Have you considered that the darkness in the inner corner of your eyes is a sign of adrenal fatigue as you cover them with liquid foundation?

A child who presents with emotional symptoms or ADHD will display facial signs of phosphate deficiencies. Phosphates were once found in the soil of our gardens.

A person who suffers from depression or anxiety tends to display similar facial lines unique to them.

A facial analysis will show you these signs and help you understand that these are nutritional deficiencies that the human race has become increasingly deficient in. We are deficient because our soils are deteriorating due to over processing farming practices and the use of synthetic chemicals.

Who is it for?

Children, adult and the elderly can all benefit from a facial analysis. Please note that a child’s tender young face is resistant to wrinkles so some signs may not be visible. Children who display with emotional symptoms, food intolerances and immune problems tend to show outward signs of imbalance.

This is for anyone. It’s never too late in life to improve your health. Tissue salts have helped those clinically diagnosed with autoimmune diseases, depression, anxiety, Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity, chronic iron deficiencies to children with ADHD.

We can all benefit. These trace minerals are what our deteriorating tissues are made from. It only makes sense to build up our structural system.

Why?

Facial analysis is used to determine the trace minerals that your body is deficient in. Understanding our unique imbalances can empower us to eat healthier and supplement with the salts that will over time restore, reorganize and rebalance your own tissues for natural healing.

The trace minerals where once found in our fertile and abundant soils and the salts of the ocean. Sadly our soils are stripped of these minerals and oceans are polluting our health.

Our plant based foods contain 85% less essential trace minerals than they did just a few short decades ago as a result of over farming and chemical use. 1992 Rio Earth Summit

What then are Tissue Salts?

Tissue salts are trace minerals.

The body is always working to find balance. We don’t tend to think of it that way. However, we what put into our bodies, how we feel and react in this world has much influence on the state of our inner health

Tissue salts work on the cellular level. Over time they re-organize and re-balance the tissues in our body making them stronger and healthier. This allows the body to begin healing itself.

I’m not suggesting that you will get younger here. I am saying that many people do not have the essential minerals to thrive and survive without disease in their lifetime.

If you notice the lines and the flaws disappearing on your face it’s because you are become healthy. You are no longer deficient in a trace mineral that was once evident on your facial analysis.

For more information read on here…

And so the body forgives.

I have seen so often how addressing the mineral deficiencies or imbalances at the cellular level can assist in so many ways. Sleep is easier, food intolerances become less, digestion is easier, skin symptoms ease, muscle aches and pains are relieved, anxiety and depression lessen… and the list goes on.

Not all Tissue Salts are made the same

The tissue salts I speak of are designed and developed by Tim Goyetche, HMP. He has gone to great lengths to ensure the highest quality and absorption of these cells salts. They are world renowned. They are not mass produced and therefor it ensures the quality that our customers have come to know.

A special note about my experience with Tissue Salts

I noticed my own genetically weak symptoms alleviate within a few months of taking the tissue salts. I noticed my energy soar. Many of my thyroid symptoms disappeared. I started going to bed before 10:00 pm as oppose to pushing myself to get in bed by midnight. My SAD disappeared. My anxiety had lessened. The highlight though was watching my 6 year old son who presented with anxiety. He started taking tissue salts. Not long after he started did he begin bouncing through his life with a confidence that I could only dream of for him.

How does a facial analysis work?

Using a quality picture of you is the best way to do a facial analysis. An in house analysis is abstract due to distractions of conversation, head movements and attention to other elements going on.

This is what you will need

A high quality picture of yourself in natural light (Camera phone quality does not work!) Picture needs to be from the whole neck up Minimal shadowing No make-up on Tell me a little about your health concern (It’s important to know the person in order to explain their deficiencies accurately.)

Payment Options?

Free- If you don’t mind baring your face within a private group than Tim has an online Facebook group where he openly offers the facial analysis for all to learn. He will recommend tissue salts for you. Please send me a private message here on my Holistic Nutrition with Sara Ashe page and I will send you the details. For a free analysis within Tim’s group please contact me here: https://www.facebook.com/saraashe

Private- If you are not on FACEBOOK or would rather a private facial analysis the cost is $50. This is a minimal charge. Practitioners are charging $200-$250 per facial analysis. Simply let me know you would like to choose this option and I will send you a paypal request for payment. You’ll send me your picture and I will offer a descriptive analysis within 48 hours with my recommendations for tissue salt formulas. Contact me privately:

Here is how to order tissue salts.

Do you ever notice the beauty of a butterfly? Perhaps you feel a little flutter of joy or excitement when you see the first one of the season?

I remember a day travelling home from work. There was nothing special about it. In fact, I was struggling with immense emotional pain at the time. My day was about to change.

I saw before my eyes the metaphor of my life.

A yellow butterfly fluttering its wings in front of me. I immediately felt a little joy. Then it was gone. I thought to myself that a butterfly must symbolize hope. I felt hope.

Not a minute down the road I saw the same butterfly, the yellow one. It seemed to dance around the hood of my car. I began to smile again.

In the days to come I would see many butterflies. They were all yellow. Each butterfly I saw would build softness in my heart and an inner feeling of hope and peace. I held on to these feelings as I pushed through the darkness and into the light of my life.

Today I draw on the images of the butterfly to tell a similar story.

It’s a story of thyroid disease. The thyroid is often referred to as the butterfly –like shaped gland. The heart of a woman with thyroid disease can long for inner peace, hope, self-trust, love and joy.

These longings truly are treasures. Treasures she may not believe she is worthy of holding. I would learn years after my own healing transformation that the symbolic meaning of a butterfly is

Transformation, Next Step, Spiritual Growth

The butterfly’s message is to take that next step in your transformation process.

I find myself surrounded by the butterfly once again. I am allowing it’s symbolism to be the catalyst for my next amazing journey.

As a caterpillar must transform so is our calling to expand into possibility for the magnificence of our own lives. The way in is by listening into the wisdom of our heart.

Expand with courage my friends!

“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

If you a ready for change. If you would like to journey into possibility for your thyroid health with a small group of women and I as your guide. There is a compass to lead you there. Learn more about my 7 week program to Transform Your Thyroid. Registration closes Friday March 22, 2013.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Discover the root cause of your ongoing thyroid symptoms. Learn how to say good bye them once and for all.

My dream is to unite women with a purpose
To give each of she a gift.
My gift. My journey.

I created this program in a way that I could honor what women with hypothyroidism say they want. I weaved my personal one:one coaching and my group program into one incredibly layered offering for you.

Thyroid disease can feel like living in isolation. That’s because we often don’t feel understood by our loved ones and friends. Our doctors provide us with little information other than a lifetime band-aid approach. We begin questioning our worth of being healthy. Or deserving to be ourselves again.

Thyroid disease can feel painful. Do you ever wake up hoping today will be the day. The day that you will find your energy to be the person you know you can be? So often we drift for the coffee, or the cookie jar in hopes for a glimpse of energy. You know what it feels like but you can’t quite grasp it. It rarely finds us anymore. We whisper out, “please, I just want to feel good.”

Thyroid disease can feel overwhelming. I identify with more women who feel they are burning the candle at both ends. Metaphorically, they are. Daily chores and even thinking can feel like a ball and chain.

I understand what thyroid disease feels like. I’ve been here. I get it!

My work is calling my heart to work with a community of women who deeply struggle with thyroid disease. It comes at a time when my energy is soaring, finally! The abundance of the season is metaphorically the just right environment for healing. This program is an extension from my pain and struggles into the vibrant healthy life I lead today. You see it wasn’t so long so that I suffered with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and then hypothyroidism. Against any medical hope I reversed both. Yup! You bet I did!

So how do YOU get from where you are now to where you really want to be?

Imagine, that there was a compass to guide your way. To support and direct you to a place of feeling more energized, self-renewed and in control of you own health.

A compass does exist.

What a great course! I really enjoyed myself and found the presentations and support very interesting. I loved the heart work, and am trying to keep incorporating it in my daily life. I think the biggest thing I took from the course was how important it is to speak your truth and how suppressing it affects your thyroid health. I liked your gentle approach to nutrition and that it wasn’t all or nothing. That every little step you make is something to be proud of and to not beat yourself up if you make mistakes. ~Jennifer Rhimes

Are you ready to start changing your habits once and for all?

Every January I fill my life with hope for a new year with great ideas and intentions. They fade away like the ripple effect left by a rock thrown in a lake. I started wondering why my resolutions fail. Why do I feel guilty and feeble for not attaining my dreams? Why do I fall off the wagon?

My goals aren’t mighty big. They are simple.

Eat Well. Be Healthy
Believe in Myself
Build My Business

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.” Tony Robbins

“If you want to change your life than you have to change your habits.” Mark Kelly

These two powerful quotes have been a the catalyst for change in my life and for the thousands of women I’ve now worked with in finding their energy.

First, you must peel back the mask that you wear and see the beauty within. It’s there that you and I will discover your truest desires and deepest intentions for your life. Are you ready?

With the New Year brings our hearts intentions. It’s a chance for starting new.

The Renew Your Energy program is an invite into a community with purpose. A purpose to find strength. Within ourselves, from our each other and as a group to discover what is possible for our lives.

This is a different kind of cleanse. Although clean eating and energy building foods are on the menu, there is a deeper experience that you will take from this program if you open your heart.

Energy is in everything. Our thoughts, our desires, the self-talk, the inner critic and our wisest self are all uniting energy forces that can either increase or decrease our vitality.

I invite you to explore, create and discover the wonderful you, your heart space and what you really desire for your life.

Anything is possible if we only listen inward. These are the prompts that I will guide you with along the 10 day journey.

If being part of this group means reaching and discovering what is possible for you than I welcome you to joing us.

How do we start?

We begin with beautiful food.

Be still and know I am God ~psalm 46:10

There is something greater than you and I.
It masterminds the grand production of our life.
Will we trust long enough to allow it to manifest?

Truth.

I am overwhelmed.

The smallest task seems to bring choas into my inner world. I blame it on juggling too much. My work. My family. My money problems. You name it and that is the reason why I feel the way I do. I can be doing absolutely nothing and still feel I’m rotting inside. Rotting like the composte in my backyard.

A closer look reveals a deeply ingrained pattern of my life. I’m very aware that my self-sabotaging nag is on my back. She thrives on chaos. My problem is that my body can’t keep up. My adrenals need gentle care.

On this special day, I ask a client to sit in front of a mirror. Her mission is to first notice and then answer one question.

“I sit in front of the mirror just like you asked me to do. At first, I can only cry behind my closet door. I notice self denial. I sob as I realize I’ve been ignoring myself. I can feel myself crying for help.

I am crying for me.

I can see in the red skin below my eyes the plea for rest.

I notice my belly. I know I have been ignoring it for so long. Years. Painful years that I shut out.

Mostly, I notice my eyes. My face. My longing heart. My inner talk. It festers with negativity and too many things to do. I feel rushed. It smothers my natural glow. The glow I want to share with you.

I notice a desire. Like snow wants to melt in the spring air. I too long for the layers to melt away. I see frustration that smothers my love inside. It smothers my self-acceptance.

I am allowing the tears to melt away the inner turmoil. I notice the feeling of patience and kindness. Ever so gently I see the the light.

There is glow. It pushes through the choas. In this moment it is shining through me. I can see truth. The truth is in me. If only I can sit still and stay focused on this gentle moment. The softness. I can see my true self.

Once I was in this space I asked my question in a gentle, loving way…”what is the truth I must tell myself?”

I was patient. I was gentle. And I waited.

And then like an angel whispering, two little words.”

Be Still.

That client. She is me. All of me.

Mirror reflection can reveal everything if you allow yourself to trust what it holds. Be patient with yourself and allow the gentleness to unfold. Honor the words whispered.

The words are from your heart… space.

With love,
