Day 1 of the New Moon 5-day fast is in the bag. I got a little hungry around 4 PM, and was feeling crampy in my feet, so I added some MIO Electrolyte to a bottle of water, and chugged it. It helped a lot!
I made some bone broth from cow feet bones (Don't be going all, "EWWW" on me here!). It is rich in collagen, elastin, trace minerals, and amino acids. A small cup of that stuff is sustaining and satisfying. And if there's any left after this fast, will make an incredible aspic. After I chilled it and skimmed the fat, it is the most solid jelly I've ever seen!
I had a new client at work today who has such severe tremors in her head that she's had a procedure where they implanted electrodes in her brain which are attached to a battery under her collarbone by thick (1/8") cables that run down the side of her neck, under the skin. Even with that, her head tilts uncontrollably to the right, and shakes pretty severely. It was pretty challenging to do highlights on her, but once I got a sense of the rhythm of her tremors, I was actually able to work with them, and use them to my advantage.
The best part, though, was being able to share with her the new research that's being done in the area of therapeutic nutritional ketosis for neurological disorders. I wrote it down, and told her to ask her neuro doc about it. If he hasn't heard of it, I'm hoping it spurs him to research it. But I told her that if he was resistant to it, I would share the details with her, and hopefully help. She was very open to it.
It's been a very good day, in spite of heat index of 114F.
