Finishing Leviticus, Detoxing from Mold, and Eating for Health
I just finished reading the book of Leviticus, and one chapter that really stood out to me was Leviticus 14—the chapter that talks about mold. It describes how, if mold was found in a house, the priest had to inspect it. If it was spreading, the contaminated stones had to be removed, the house scraped clean, and if the mold returned, the entire house had to be torn down. Even back then, they understood how dangerous mold could be!
This hit home for me because I spent the past year detoxing from mold and environmental toxins. Mold exposure can cause chronic inflammation, brain fog, fatigue, hormone imbalances, and immune issues. The Israelites didn’t take mold lightly, and neither do I!
My Detox Journey
To help my body eliminate toxins at the cellular level, I used True Cellular Formula Detox to bind to and remove heavy metals, pesticides, biotoxins, mold, and other environmental chemicals that can burden the body. Detoxing is more than just a quick fix—it’s about supporting my body’s natural ability to cleanse and heal.
Leviticus doesn’t just talk about mold—it also outlines which foods are clean and unclean (Leviticus 11).
Prioritizing clean, whole foods
Eating meats that are properly sourced and digestible
Avoiding bottom-feeders and scavengers that store toxins
Choosing nutrient-dense foods that fuel my body wellLeviticus 14 reminds me that God calls us to be intentional about what we allow in our bodies and our environments. Detoxing from mold and focusing on clean eating has been part of honoring my health and restoring balance.
What did my cellular detox protocol look like?
I visited with an herbalist once a month (14 months so far) where I was monitored with these tests:
1: Urine test called Meta-Oxy Test Kit that measures cellular Inflammation and cell damage.
This test is used to detect neurotoxic effects caused by mold, heavy metals, chemicals and biotoxins.
3: Zyto Compass Scan
This tool provides insight into your body's health needs, even your emotional health and provides a list of herbs to take to heal your ailments.
(I had emotions show up that effected my health, and so in April, I will be offering an emotional detox, so contact me if you want in!)
4: Blood Work
These tests all monitored my process and listed what herbs I needed while I used True Cellular Formulas every day for a slow detox where it binds the toxins and helps remove them safely from the body. It cleansed toxins from my liver, kidneys, gut, lymphatic, blood and brain.
I started the detox to remove mercury from teeth fillings. (I have blogs about this) I was full of energy and life, felt absolutely amazing!! I was 49 and wanted my 50th to be in the best shape of my life! This year was way more involved than I could ever imagine because I experienced symptoms I have never had like brain fog, low energy, adrenal fatigue, urine issues all while I was removing toxins that I didn't even know I had. I'm thankful for this process as it's grown me in a whole new way that I can relate to ladies who have these symptoms. I believe in natural remedies first and that is why I chose this route. I will be sharing more of other things I've done daily to support the detox. I believe fully in health victories, especially when you're rooted in TRUTH!
Sending all my love,

When it comes to oils on the Trim Healthy Mama Eating Plan, remember this:
Not all oils are made equal!
It is vitally important that you get your oils right because there's a whole list of oils that can really disrupt your well being.
First of all, it’s important to keep cooking oil smoke points in mind based on which type of cooking method you’re planning to use. Cooking oils with low smoke points can oxidize and break down under high heat, leading to the formation of harmful, disease-causing free radicals.
Therefore, when your recipe calls for frying, sautéing or roasting, it’s best to select a cooking oil with a high smoke point.
Meanwhile, healthy cooking oils with low smoke points can be used to top off cooked dishes or amp up the flavor of dips, spreads and dressings instead.
An easy way to remember this is to know which oils are good for cooking (in other words, heating up) and which are best used cold. For cooking purposes, you don't want to use an unsaturated oil, but rather one that is naturally saturated. The natural saturation of the fats protects the oil from going rancid. Oils like Coconut Oil, Butter, and Red Palm Oil are good examples. Other on-plan oils like Avocado, Grape seed, Olive, Sesame, and Sunflower oil are best used when cold.
When choosing an on-plan snack, this needs to be taken into consideration. An oil might be on-plan, but should not be heated up. Remember that BAKED is always better than FRIED, because then your chip does not get submerged into an oil. Here is a handy reference for which chips are on-plan:
Though this might seem like a small, unimportant detail, it does in fact make a big difference. Often times you may be eating on-plan but not seeing results. If you tighten up in the smaller details, you may just start to see much better results!
Did this help you? I do hope you will start seeing the results you are after!
Remember, if you need help or guidance, feel free to reach out!
Blessings,
This is my year! I feel amazing! I'm thinking about my 50th that comes in the beginning of 2025, so I am looking for all the ways to age well and prevent disease. I finished the prep phase of detox since my silver fillings were removed and moved into the body phase. This is so exciting to me! I love to learn everything there is about health and how I can bless and nourish my body.
The best news I have is I now understand how a women can be pregnant and not know it. You hear those stories of someone being months along and not know it. I couldn’t imagine that until this year.
I went to the doctor for the first time in decades back in December 2023 to have my bloodwork done for the first time. My results came back and were confirmed by a doctor and my herbalist who were both blown away I didn’t know and congratulated me.
What didn't I know???

If you don't know how to get your healthy foods from the grocery store and use them, I suggest starting your Firm Foundation now!
This course cements the Trim Healthy lifestyle for you. 
Small habits lead to big impact!
I feel like I'm a professional habit maker! I've weeded out bad habits and found better ones to replace them with. The new ways, after repetition, have become a part of me, and they serve me so much better. These habits worked because I'm through menopause without the issues.
You're invited to learn Trim Healthy ways in my Firm Foundation course and you'll receive the reading of "Atomic Habits," in my Marco Polo chat, while learning how to eat to serve your body well. This Marco Polo Chat with the book reading will be offered FREE to anyone who signs up for one of my lifetime access courses in July. We'll start July 8th.
Fuel Pull Playground will start August 1st and Protein Power will start September 1st! I am SO excited about both of these and I would love to have you join me in the future for these two!
Are you ready to start your Firm Foundation?
Let's talk SMOOTHIES!A smoothie is a great way to add all those great superfoods to your diet.
I love a good protein smoothie for quick nourishment, plus you can make them S, E, FP or XO to suit your needs.
Here are my favorite smoothie add ons:
Watch your waistline and how you feel change with Superfood smoothies! You'll never get bored and always have a fast food option!
Keys to success:
Protein-rich (at least 20 grams)
Fat source to help nutrients get into your body (5 grams for FP and E or more for S)
Superfoods to help increase immunity and health
Veggie full to provide satiety and fiber.
(I put my greens in my smoothie, and then love to add raw veggies on the side with sea salt to chew on because this helps me feel more full due to the action of eating my food)
What if I'm dairy free?
Use a nut milk, egg white powder, THM optimized plant protein or collagen and essentials for protein.
These egg whites make a great texture for my smoothies.
