Farmer’s Market Vitality Salad

A key foundation to whole body radiance is tending to the inner terrain. Supporting digestion, lymphatic health, tending to the gut and the detox pathways within the body all have an impact on hormonal and mental health. One of the aspects that I focus on with Yoni and Lingam clients is nourishment through food. This salad is one of my favorites. It’s simple to make and can be enjoyed solo or with some protein.

This fresh and vibrant salad sourced with whole body loving seasonal ingredients. It’s packed with texture, color, nourishment and flavor. The greens offer a load of nutrients to add a glow to the skin and cleanse the blood. The carrots provide antioxidants to the body and support liver detoxification. Beets love up the liver, are high in fiber and support reducing inflammation. Avocado provide internal hydration for the skin and naturally lowers cholesterol levels in the body. Pumpkin seeds are a source of essential fatty acids and provide zinc to the body, which boosts immune function and help reduce stress levels in the body, as well as support hormonal regulation. Raw sauerkraut improves digestive health, protects heart health and helps eliminate inflammation in the body.
