Penne with Olive and Pistachio Pesto
1 lb penne
4 1/3 ox unsalted, shelled pistachio nuts
4 cloves garlic
1 tbsp green peppercorns
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
5 oz pitted black olives
1 1/3 cups freshly grated parmesan plus extra for serving
1/2 cup light olive oil
Prep:
Cool the penne in a large pan of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and return to the pan.
While the penne is cooking, combine the pistachio nuts, garlic, peppercorns, lemon juice, black olives and cheese in a food processor until roughly chopped.
While the motor is running, slowly add in the olive oil in a thin stream. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Toss the pesto through the hot pasta and serve topped with the extra parmesan.
Pesto is one of my favorite things. Replace the pistachios with any nut of your choice. I know that nuts can be expensive, but if you get them in bulk and store them in the freezer; you get your money's worth.

A great alteration I discovered yesterday about the Frozen Watermelon Cooler is to add:
black cherries
1/2 fresh peach
handful of strawberries
It was so good! Try it with a little plain yogurt and honey too. Tell me about your own variations in the comments below and follow me on Twitter @eminenthealth

Frozen Watermelon Cooler
1 cup chopped watermelon
1 3/4 cup ice
1 cup of your favorite herbal tea cold from the refrigerator
Fresh mint (optional)
1. Combine everything until smooth and serve.
Note: If your blender can't handle the ice don't worry about it. Just add more watermelon and/or tea. Have the tea and watermelon in the refrigerator before hand and you won't need the ice any way. And as always don't be afraid to play around with it! Try different teas and tell me in the comments below what your favorite is.

Harissa
4 oz dried red chilies, stems removed
1 Tbsp ground coriander
1 Tbsp dried mint
1 Tbsp ground caraway seeds
1 Tbsp ground cumin
10 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup olive oil
Prep:
Roughly chop the chilies, then cover with boiling water and soak for 1 hour. Drain and place in a food processor and add the garlic, mint, spices, 1 Tbsp of oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Process for 25 seconds, scrape the bowl down and then process again for 30 seconds. Add 2 Tbsp oil and process again mixing everything. Repeat and process until a think paste forms or until you use all the oil.
Spoon the paste into a clean jar, cover with a thin layer of olive oil and seal. Don't forget to label and date!
To sterilize empty jars: Place right side up in a large pot and fill both the pot and the jars with hot (not boiling) water 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Boil 10 minutes at altitudes of less than 1,000 ft. For higher elevations, add 1 minute for each additional 1,000 ft. After boiling remove and drain hot jars one at a time. Then fill the jars with the sauce and put on the lids.
This hot chili sauce will keep in the fridge for up to six months. Try it as a salad dressing, pasta sauce or a marinade. Don't be afraid to play around with it and change it up!
Fills a 20 fl oz (600 ml) jar.

Self appreciation. This isn't some cheesy overly sappy post about how we should love ourselves. If you want to be a positive influence on yourself and the people around you as well as reach your health goals you must respect where you're at. Even though you may feel under rock bottom you can always build up. Period. No matter what is going on with you other people have been there and gotten better. It's a statistical truth.
So treat yourself with gentleness and kindness. Even if other people don't treat you with respect show yourself respect with what you eat and your daily habits. I always tell people "Fake it till you make it." It's ok not to feel the way you want to feel emotionally. They're just emotions and they will pass. Are you really going to let the way you feel steal your victory? What's important is what you do to make things better. Actions speak louder than words and emotions come and go like the wind.

Greens, greens, AND MORE GREENS! They're cheap, in season, and very filling. Try a warm salad or put them in soups or use the classic and super simple steamed technique. Don't be afraid to try new things and experiment. "Greens" constitute as spinach, all lettuces, broccoli, kale, asparagus and ANY dark green leafy plant.
Bonus tip: Make your own vinaigrette dressings! They're easy to do and make a huge difference in taste for the end product!

Coconut oil is one of my favorite foods. It's great for the skin and it's anti-microbial and rich in MCFAs other wise known as medium-chain fatty acids. According to the University of Iceland these fatty acids break down the membrane of candida cells helping to kill it.
Oil Pulling is also one of my favorite things to do with coconut oil. You can find my post about it in April of 2013. The list goes on and on. Plus is a nice change from olive oil for vinaigrettes. It's a great food to add to your diet and taste awesome (as long as you like coconuts). Feel free to cook and bake with it too.

I would like to communicate that C. albicans which is what most people have are endowed with TWO levels of built-in protection. A biofilm and an extracellular matrix. What is a biofilm?
Well, ‘A biofilm is a community of microorganisms such as bacteria or in our case fungi, which are attached to a surface. They are what cause things to be slimy when they are left in water. The microorganisms are encased in a support matrix, made up of polysaccharides, proteins, DNA and other organic molecules. If an object is put in a non-sterile surface (like our gut), a biofilm will form on the object’s surface. Usually the first stage is molecules such as proteins settle (or adsorb) on the surface. This is known as the conditioning film. Next, bacteria or fungi will settle on the area. Once the organisms settle on a surface, their biology changes and they shift from being adapted to living free in the water to living on the surface they have attached to. These fungi will then grow and multiply, forming colonies. As they multiply, they produce extracellular substances, which allow it to have a much stronger structure.’ The extracellular matrix in Candida Albicans is primarily composed of glucose at (32%). That’s right, it’s major protection is made out of sugar!
Sounds like a good enough reason to me to readjust you diet!

One of the most destructive toxins associated with candida is called gliotoxin. It disrupts the DNA in white blood cells killing them outright.
Obviously this is a major weakener of the immune system and opens the door to infection. I think it's time for the common populace to flush it out of their systems!
How? Well one of the easiest ways would be to starve the yeast overgrowth in order bring back balance thus alleviating the gliotoxin's burden. By changing up your diet to foods that don't feed yeast and instead promote health your wellbeing will improve. The more committed you are to your goals and the smarter you pursue them the better the results you will achieve!

This one shocking truth is the main catalyst that made me decide to specialize in yeast overgrowth. What is it?
There are 179 known toxins created by yeast digestion! YUCK!! All these toxins burden and weigh down your system causing a HOST of problems.
What are they you may be asking me? Well that is what we'll cover this week. For starters one of the big toxins is called ‘acid aldehyde’. This toxin can damage all the tissues in the body including the brain, and it’s made when candida digests sugar. Some health professionals call it the ‘hangover chemical’ because it’s produced when you drink alcohol. This is one reason why some people can feel sick all of the time. It’s because they have a ton of this toxin in their system as it is from their candida infection so when they do have a drink they become overwhelmed by the symptoms of a hangover because they are so toxic to start with. What a great initiative to start phasing out alcohol.

Today piggybacks on what we talked about yesterday. In yesterday's post we specifically talked about attitudes and how focusing on them can either make us or break us. In this post we are going to talk about focusing on the action part of it.
"Only when you focus in the right direction will you move in the right direction." This is the fifth mindset. Action can be the hardest part of our health journeys as we learn new habits and disrupt our own lives.
It is so easy to be swept away by the diet craze. Or how one study says "this" while another study conflicts it by saying "that". How can any normal person keep their head on straight?! Somehow in the midst of all of this we have to navigate through it all and reach our goals. However you take this journey, always try to keep these paradigms in the back of your mind. Hopefully they will be an anchor for you along the way.

This next mindset is very powerful. It's one that I learned a long time ago and has helped me many times. What is it you may ask?
It's "What you focus on you create." I firmly believe this. However it's still hard not to focus on the negative in our lives. Often the bad stuff seems to be loud and obnoxious while the good stuff just stands in the back corner and meekly says "I'm here too...."
My point is that if you ruminate on the stuff you're not happy with it will be all you see. Acknowledge the bad but give credence to the good. Build on the good no matter how small an amount you are starting off with.

Today's mindset is "Mistakes are just portals to discovery!" When we freak out over a craving or a secretly eaten candy bar we increase our stress levels. Excess stress is never a good thing. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out. So what if you fell off the band wagon?! That doesn't mean you have to quit or verbally abuse yourself! Just get back on that wagon!
Talk with your Coach about why you fell off in the first place. What strategy didn't work for you? What Primary Foods are out of alignment? Are you being supported enough? Are you graciously receiving that support? All this and more are just some of the real world reasons we have trouble reaching our goals. A Health Coach helps navigate those mindsets and emotions to get you back on the right track. So remember the next time you race back to your favorite "no-no" food think "Why am I really doing this? What's really going on here?"

"Always look for solutions rather than dwell on your problems." Mindset number two!
This is a mindset that I have had to work on personally just like the rest of us and it's definitely not an easy one.
I think one of the hardest factors about this particular mindset is that a person not doing this is focused on their insecurities and challenges instead of their over all arc of progression and success. Some of the best advice I have ever gotten is "Daniel, don't ruminate on your problems." Meaning don't obsess over and over on your challenges instead of finding and then doing solutions for those challenges. I know it's hard not to get caught up with your difficulties and neglect to see the good that you are accomplishing. However applying this mindset will increase your sense of wellness and help empower you to move forward.

This week is attitude week! Get ready as we dive into the inner workings of the mind and how we can set ourselves up for success. Everyday this week I will be posting something critical about how the right frame of mind sets us up for success and how to start building up these mindsets.
Today's post is on the concept "Every win is a win. No matter how small." Often times on our health journeys we get obsessed on the big goals and neglect to see or even give credit to the small, necessary victories and habit changes that we acquire along the way. This very bad habit is not only self-depreciative but will also drive a person crazy waiting for the goals that they are striving for since they aren't experiencing the little sustaining victories along the way.
Relax. Do your part and let health come to you. Not giving value to the daily victories and small steps won't make anything happen faster. It's ok to feel accomplished when you do something right.

Toxicity. We are surrounded by it. How can we defend ourselves? Our diet will set us up for success or failure every time. If you want to feel better, lighter and have more energy it all comes back to what we eat. Be honest with yourself and consider if you really think you are ever going to (at least) feel healthy with what the average American eats. You the reader are a smart person and know that the wheel doesn't need to be reinvented when it comes to what is good and what is bad for you. However you may not know how to navigate the vast amount of paths to wellness that are out there. That is where a Health Coach comes in. Coaching and teaching a person is the best way for them to get healthy because it takes into consideration their goals and starting point.

Self criticism. We do it continually but what does it really bring us? Is it actually useful? Is it even healthy? I'd like to offer up a view from another perspective. A Coach's perspective.
When we judge ourselves it's usually not done from a healthy place and most of the time it's harsh, cold and without patients. The worst part is that a lot of us don't even realize how harsh we are with ourselves. Most of us are incredibly self critical and are fixated on unrealistic goals, what we did wrong and why it's worked for other people.
Bad habits. As the old adage go's they die hard and are easy to come by. One thing I've noticed on bad habits like negative self criticism is that it takes massive action to over come it. It's kind of ridiculous actually. Why can't these things die off easier? So how do we over come these bad habits?
Support. One of the best things we can do for ourselves is find someone or a group of people that can guide and support us through a difficult time or transition. Targeted goal setting with no nonsense coaching can be the best thing you can do for yourself. On a gentler note we have all needed someone who can hold our hand and walk us across the river.
