Yes, our food is medicine, and all health begins in the "gut."

Science has shown that over 90% of our immune system is created in our microbiome (gut), and hormones are mostly metabolized in the digestive tract.

Seeds are rich in essential fatty acids and nutrients (such as zinc and selenium), which act as both the vehicle to transport hormones to correct location, and as the building blocks to support their structure and integrity.

I love the idea of treating yourself to health.

Not all "treats" should equate to high sugar, high inflammation, and insulin disruption. 

Seeds (when raw) are high in good oils & essential fatty acids.  This is what supports your hormone balance, and provides the good fat that will prevent the extreme spikes in blood sugar

I am not sure if you feel the same way, but I think that there is nothing like a delicious spread to add onto veggies as a snack, or on grains or sautés for a main meal. 

Now, wouldn't it be wonderful if these tasty spreads were also supporting your health?

I do like my "medicine" to taste good, just as a added bonus & encouragement to care for myself.

We are all super busy and sometimes need to grab food to go.

However, this "food on the go" does not need to be unhealthy.  

With a little preparation, you can have quick bites that are dense in nutrients and can balance hormones and decrease inflammation.
