Nutrient Rich Life

This recipe is ideal special diets such as GAPS, SCD, paleo, and ova-pescetarian. The nutrient profile is anti-inflammatory and promotes fertility and incubating smart babies! I try to eat small wild fatty fish each day. And there is no more delicious and low-mercury way to get this, but from anchovies in a Caesar salad dressing. Please use pasture raised, local eggs from a farm you trust. 1 egg 1 egg yolk 2 tsp Dijon mustard juice of 1/2 lemon 1 tbs whey/plain high quality yogurt (optional) 2 cloves of garlic 2 oz. tin of anchovies (I used Trader Joes) 3/4 cup olive oil  (I use Zoe's because it is organic and comes in a tin) black pepper to taste Place all ingredients, except the olive oil, in a high speed blender. Start it on low and increase to high, blending it together for 30 seconds. Lower speed to about 3 and slowly pour in olive oil. Season with pepper to taste. Store in a glass jar with a secure lid.

(READ: less protein!)

You can imagine that I was snacking like a pregnant lady, but I wasn't pregnant or nursing any more. YIKES! Even after this restricted protein thing, my sleep got worse. and worse. I started waking during the...
