In this episode I discuss how I was feeling when I decided to take control of healing my gut. I’ll share what supplements I ate, what foods I ate, what I didn’t eat and what lifestyle changes I made.

Here’s the podcast episode and here’s full blog post!


Watermelon basil balsamic salad…

This salad is refreshing & flavorful. It is perfect for the warm summer days, when it’s hot outside & you just need a quick refreshing bite.

It only calls for 5 ingredients, all of which I can bet you have in your fridge or pantry! It’s tangy, sweet, savory and tart all at the same time!

Make it as a side dish, bring it to a BBQ, have it as a light lunch or even for breakfast (yup, it’s a very traditional Persian breakfast). The recipe is below!


Fun facts about watermelon…

  • Great for hydration! A watermelon is made up of about 90% water, so it can help keep you nice and hydrated!

  • Lots of antioxidants! it helps get rid of those free radicals in your body caused by stress and environmental factors. Amazing for helping heal cells from damage.

  • Great for skin! because of it’s high water content, it can be a great way to keep our skin hydrated.

  • Aids in digestion! Its fiber content is great for keeping us regular!


What to serve it with…

plated Persian chicken

I would serve this watermelon feta salad along side a protein! Why not try my Persian chicken recipe? It’s easy, super flavorful and perfect on the grill, or in the air fryer!
