Golden Glow Sunday
Liver love meal plan
Life got hectic this past week when some health challenges for a family member came out of the blue. They needed immediate care. So in the past few days after that situation stabilized, my body was sending me some serious “S.O.S.” signals!
In keeping aligned and staying true to what I espouse to you, I listened to what my body was telling me.
“Slow the heck down!”
“Get some R & R!”
These were very clear signals, almost like being hit over the head with it.
So, I pivoted and tended to my mind-body connection with deep work. It was key to nourish myself with some Nourishing Lab protocols and guidance from Dr. Joe Dispenza! My brain fog cleared, I did some good detoxing, meditating, and healthy eating that included high antioxidant foods. And I met up with some of my dearest friends for heaps of deep laughter! The friendship bonding and laughter was the final piece to getting back on track.
So..this article is arriving a bit later (embracing imperfection!) and has elements from another article I wrote a few months ago. Revisiting and repurposing valuable content allows me to share these healing insights while also being mindful of efficiency.
I'm excited to share something truly healing for you and your liver:
What if you could show your liver some profound love?
What if it includes following a meal plan created with your unique needs in mind?

Here is a special sneak peek at what a day of my Liver Love's Nourishing Meal Plan might look like:
Breakfast:
Cinnamon Pear Oatmeal:
A warm and comforting start to your day, this oatmeal combines the natural sweetness of pears with a hint of cinnamon, creating a satisfying and fiber-rich breakfast.

3 tbsps Almond Butter (optional)
Directions:
Heat a small non-stick pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the pear and cinnamon. Cook, stirring often until softened and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the pears and set aside.
Meanwhile, add the oats and water to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring often until gently boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer until cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the oats to a bowl and top with pears. Add the pecans and almond butter, if using. Enjoy!
Lunch:
Lemon Dill Chicken with Rice and Kale
A light and flavorful meal featuring tender chicken marinated in bright lemon and dill, served alongside wholesome brown rice and nutrient-packed kale.

1/4 tsp Lemon Zest
1/8 tsp Garlic Powder

Add the dill, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt and 1/3 of the lemon juice to a glass bowl and mix to combine. Add the chicken breast and marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the rice according to package directions.
Preheat the oven to 400ºF (205ºC).
Add the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, add the kale to a bowl with the remaining lemon juice and the olive oil and massage with your hands until the kale is wilted and tender. Mix in the grated carrots.
To serve, divide the rice, chicken, and salad between plates and enjoy!

A vibrant and satisfying bowl filled with colorful vegetables, earthy mushrooms, and protein-rich lentils, all drizzled with a tangy ginger-lime dressing.
