Welcome to The Purple Almond!
My name is Tamara Hoerner. I am a student at Hawthorn University working toward a Master of Science in Health and Nutrition Education.
For me, the name Purple Almond symbolizes “Good, nutritious, whole food bringing light and life to the body, awakening the inherent healing mechanisms within.”
I'm all about getting back to the basics, good old fashioned traditional organic, whole food, the kind your great-grandmother used to eat. You'll find no processed foods here. Just good food to heal your whole body.
I also believe a healthy body isn't just about food. Stress plays a large part in the physical health of our body. I, therefore, believe in using anything that relieves stress and heals the body, including: mediation, yoga, music, laughter, inspiration and helping others. You'll find all these included in my blog as well.
A plant based diet and Moderation works for me.
cheers

I have tried my whole life it encourage people to adjust some of their eating habits. Most of the time if falls on deaf ears. I don’t evening try any more. I only make an effort with people that are already curious about a plant based diet. Then I carefully choose how I position it. People have to want it

I whole heartedly agree, people have to be ready and want it. As a nutritionist (future nutritionist) I’m hoping that by the time people seek me out, they are ready. At least that is the theory. Sometimes people THINK they’re ready, until they hear what it takes. 🤭

I’m a huge believer in the conspiracy that sugar companies have misdirected us to believe that fat is the cause of all of our problems. I recently switched to a ketogenic diet (not necessarily recommended for everyone), and my reflux disappeared, energy increased, blood pressure came down, and joint health improved. 200 grams of fat per day.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so glad to hear you discovered what is right for you. I know of so many people with reflux. Many don’t realize it’s 100% diet related.
