It's officially fall and football season! Football tailgates can often include a spread of inflammatory foods... but this dip is nutritious and delicious. The pepitas are rich with minerals such as magnesium and zinc, while cilantro is a detox food for heavy metals. Thank you @drmarkhyman for creating this incredible PUMPKIN CILANTRO PESTO recipe. We hope you all enjoy it!
Ingredients.
1 cup pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
2 cups fresh cilantro, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 1/2 TSP chopped, seeded jalapeno
1/3 cup EVOO
2 TBSP Lemon Juice
2 TSP coconut aminos
1 TBSP Nutritional Yeast
1/2 TSP Salt
Instructions.
First toast the pepitas in a large saute pan for about five minutes on medium heat. Next combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until the dip is smooth, yet chunky. Serve with your favorite vegetables for dipping or with grain free crackers, such as @ellasflats or @hukitchen.

No matter how busy you are, it’s important to integrate simple habits to relax and unwind daily. If you can find even just five minutes of your day for yourself, you can easily slip in a simple relaxation strategy. Here are some of our favorite ways to calm the body and mind.
1. Go for a walk (if possible in nature). People tend to think that unwinding means being sedentary, but actual unwinding often comes from doing something active and releasing the stress and anxiety that we may have built up. A gentle walk can hit the reset button and refresh your body and mind.
2. Take a bath. There’s perhaps no better elixir than soaking in hot water after a long day! Baths can help relax the body and mind, and reduce pain and inflammation. It is the ultimate at home, self-care ritual.
3. Exercise. Exercise is a known stress-reducer: It releases endorphins, those feel-good brain chemicals, and lowers blood pressure, which can skyrocket under duress. Make sure to add in stretching or recovery techniques after whenever possible.
4. Meditate or focus on your breath. Even if it's just for a few minutes, being mindful of your breathing can help recenter yourself. We often forget the simplest and one of the most restorative activities available to us is our breath.
5. Watch the sunset. The sunset is a great excuse to take pause. It can make you more grateful for Earth, remind you to slow down and see the beauty in life around you, and boost your mood and spirits.
6. Practice yoga. This creates flexibility in the body and mind, and aligns breath with movement. Stretching helps relax your muscles and brings balance to your body.
How do you stay resilient and recover from the everyday stresses that life throws at you? Share your favorite way to unwind!

Many refer to the gut as the “second brain” because of the complicated network of nerves in the digestive tract. This is called the gut-brain axis and refers to the communications between the gut and the brain.
This network of nerves, known as the enteric nervous system (ENS), regulates digestion and constantly communicates with your brain. The vagus nerve is particularly essential for conveying information about the intestines to the brain.
The vagus nerve sends signals in both directions and is one of the biggest nerves connecting your gut and brain. A study in humans found that people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) had a reduced function of the vagus nerve, producing more stress and GI symptoms.
Neurotransmitters and other chemicals produced in your gut also affect your brain. Serotonin, the feel good neurotransmitter, is almost entirely produced in the gut, as well as GABA, which helps manage anxiety.
Your gut contains trillions of bacteria... The more diverse the bacteria in your microbiome is, the better the communicatoin between the gut and brain axis will be. And, your body will be more resilient as welll!

Have you heard of KetoFLEX? Developed by Dr. Dale Bredesen over decades of research, KetoFLEX for Alzheimer’s is a modified keto diet designed to aid in preventing and reversing cognitive decline.
KetoFLEX is a high-fat, mildly ketogenic diet that involves eating highly nutritious whole foods, including many plant-based foods. It differs from the standard keto diet, as you’ll eat slightly more carbohydrates than you would on a traditional keto diet. KetoFLEX allows the body and brain metabolic flexibility to use either glucose or ketones for fuel, hence the name.
The KetoFLEX diet is also different because it incorporates intermittent fasting, which has neuroprotective benefits. The full name of KetoFLEX is actually KetoFLEX 12/3 because you fast for 12 hours total, starting at least 3 hours before you go to bed.
For someone facing cognitive decline or looking to prevent it, KetoFLEX can be a great option as a dietary intervention, along with the rest of the Bredesen Protocol.
Take advantage of our extensive knowledge and experience in implementing the Bredesen Protocol at PrimeHealth. Book a FREE consultation to discuss how we can help you through our PRIME COGNITION Program. *Use the BOOK NOW Link in our BIO!
