What happened? @Elena Maren 🤔

Good morning, beautiful people! It´s Monday (yey !!!) and I am here to give you more reasons to be happy and full of energy. We are starting Week 2 of our Gut Glow-Up Challenge. Our task this week is gently introducing fermented foods. Don´t exagerate with quantities and listen to your body and note down how it reacts. - Monday: Greek or Coconut Yogurt (check for "Live Active Cultures" on the label) - no sugars or sweetners added. - Tuesday: A small glass of Kefir (it has more bacterial strains than yogurt) - again, no sugars or sweetners. - Wednesday: 1-2 tbsp of raw Sauerkraut (look in the refrigerated section, not the shelf). - Thursday: Miso soup with lunch (don't boil the miso; heat kills the bacteria). - Friday: Kombucha (choose non-pasteurized, no sugar added). - Saturday: Kimchi added to a bowl of rice or scrambled eggs. - Sunday: Pickled cucumbers (must be brine-fermented, not vinegar-processed). This is a difficult task and some of you might not find all these fermented foods in your area. Don´t worry! Just choose as many as you find and alternate them during the week. Have a glorious week !

I had my "date" with my teenage son today and we went, just the two of us, to a beautiful town next to the sea. We laughed a lot and we took a 5 km walk by the sea. Teenagers nowadays live by different rules: they declare themselves shallow while having a meaningful conversation, they text and don´t call ("Mom, we are not animals"), they take forever in making any kind of plans with other teenagers but can give you a excellent guide on how to drive them from one place to another ... It was a long drive so I had to listen to teenagers´ music which is hard, people, very hard :) but we have a system of one song for me and one for you so the road trip was full of "wow, I haven´t heard this one before" from both of us. Happy to be able to have these experiences and building memories 💓 What is/was your Saturday like? And if you celebrate Easter this weekend, Happy Easter!

This is the symptom tracker for the April challenge. You can download it and this week you´ll have to fill it in and calculate the total score. Also, let´s set a goal for this month: what score YOU would like to have at the end of April. And let´s put it on paper and see how this glow-up works. By the end of this week, those of you who want to do the challenge, post a comment with your score so we could keep track on the progress. Have a great evening!
