Summer is finally here and boy, is it hot in Arizona! I know other areas of the country are having heat waves so I wanted to share this PDF download I put together called 15 Summer Hydration Recipes to help you stay hydrated this summer, and all year round! The PDF shares 15 recipes but also reviews the components of a good hydration drink and offers some tools to help you maximize the health benefits of your drinking water.
I have a vested interest in hydration drinks because I’ve suffered from dehydration for many years due to Crohn’s Disease, and I struggle with electrolyte balance daily. That means I’ve tried a lot of different drinks and commercial electrolyte mixes. I’ve included my top picks, with the hopes that some of these will work for you. Of course, we are all different and some people need magnesium, while others need more sodium (like myself) so you will need to find the drink that has the right mineral ratio for your body’s needs. I’d love to hear if you try any of these, and how they work for you. DOWNLOAD NOW
Julie's life was derailed over twenty years ago when she had a very large organic mercury exposure after she naively used a mouth thermometer to measure the temperature of just-boiled milk while making her very first pizza at home. The mercury instantly expanded into a gas form and exploded out the back of the thermometer right into her face. Unaware that mercury was the third most neurotoxic element on Earth, Julie had no idea she had just received a very high dose of a poisonous substance.
A series of subsequent toxic exposures over the next few years -- to smoke from two fires (including 9/11), toxic mold, lyme disease, and chemical injuries -- caused catastrophic damage to her health. While figuring out how to survive day-to-day, and often minute-to-minute, she created Planet Thrive to help others avoid some of the misdiagnoses and struggles she had experienced.
She has clawed her way over many health mountains to get to where she is today. She is excited to bring the latest iteration of Planet Thrive to the chronic illness community.
In 2019, Julie published her very first cookbook e-book called Low Lectin Lunches (+ Dinners, Too!) after discovering how a low lectin, gluten free diet was helping manage her chronic fascia/muscle pain.
