And while it’s true that cold and flu season is often hard to avoid—especially when you work in an office, have kids in school, or simply interact with other people on a daily basis—there are steps you can take to stay well all season long. Even better? You can order everything you need to support your immune system, treat sore throats and coughs, and more, and have it all delivered to your door.</p> <p><!--more--></p> <p>We asked Thrivers at our Los Angeles HQ about their favorite cold and flu remedies because, like many work environments at the moment, we’re experiencing our fair share of sniffles and sneezes. Here’s what we’re stocking up on to help us feel our best.</p> <h2>Preventative</h2> <p>Many Thrivers recommended drinking more water and getting extra sleep at the first signs of a cold. Looking for something more?</p> <p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/new-chapter-elderberry-syrup" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>New Chapter Elderberry Syrup</strong></a><br /> “Elderberry and zinc have both been studied for their immune-boosting benefits,” says Hailey Cohen, Senior Copywriter. “So why not get both at the same time?”</p> <p><strong><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-elderberry-lozenges-with-zinc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Thrive Market Elderberry Lozenges with Zinc</a></strong><br /> Jeff Sato, Director of Data Analytics &amp; Engineering, takes these every year during cold and flu season. “When my kids and everyone at work is sick, these give my immune system a boost. They seem to protect me from most viruses and shorten the duration of the colds I do get. As an added bonus, they taste great.”</p> <p>Looking for an at-home recipe? Karin Kojima, People Operations Generalist, shared her go-to remedy:</p> <p>1 tablespoon <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-organic-apple-cider-vinegar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">apple cider vinegar</a><br /> 1 teaspoon <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-australian-manuka-honey-npa-10-mgo-263" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Manuka honey</a><br /> Squeeze of lemon<br /> 1 dash of <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-ground-cinnamon" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">cinnamon</a><br /> Orange juice or water, depending on your preference</p> <h2>Immunity Booster</h2> <p>If you’re feeling healthy (and want to keep it that way), it’s time to take measures into your own hands. These immunity-boosting supplements come in handy here at Thrive Market HQ. While frequent hand-washing and using <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/eo-lavender-hand-sanitizer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">natural hand sanitizer</a> were common suggestions, Thrivers also recommend oil of oregano, herbal defense supplements, and immunity powders.</p> <p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/north-american-herb-spice-oreganol-p73-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>North American Herb &amp; Spice Oreganol P73 Oil</strong></a><br /> Carolyn Clark, Partnership Manager, swears by this product. “I dilute it with water because it has a very potent taste! Oil of oregano fights inflammation and bacteria, so I love using it when I feel the first signs of a cold,” she says. “I always notice a considerable difference within the first two days of using it, and usually don’t need to turn to other medication when I use oil of oregano at the beginning.”</p> <p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/source-naturals-wellness-formula-herbal-defense-complex" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Wellness Formula Herbal Defense Complex</strong></a><br /> Sato recommends this supplement from Source Naturals, especially if you have kids. “With kids in preschool and daycare, we constantly have colds and various viruses. Whenever I feel like I'm coming down with something, I turn to Wellness Formula, and most of the time it either helps me fight it or limit the severity. I take it because it actually seems to work.”</p> <p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/om-immune-mushroom-powder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>OM Immune Mushroom Powder</strong></a><br /> Cohen throws this immunity powder in her morning coffee. “It can be a little earthy, but in my coffee with vanilla and nut milk, I can’t taste anything,” she notes. “I swear by that powder. I used it for months and never got sick! It really helped me strengthen my immune system. The year before, I got sick all the time.”</p> <h2>Runny Nose + Congestion</h2> <p>OK, so you officially caught a minor head cold and your nose is either running or feeling congested. We’ve been there—and Thrivers have quite a few recommendations for these common ailments.</p> <p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/jarrow-formulas-n-a-c-sustain" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Jarrow Formulas N-A-C Sustain</strong></a><br /> “This is my holy grail product,” says Michelle Harley, Senior Manager of Member Services. “It's a glutathione precursor, one of the most effective antioxidants, so it's in my normal routine. When I get sick, it helps to thin the congestion so I get some relief.”</p> <p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-organic-peppermint-essential-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Thrive Market Peppermint Essential Oil</strong></a><br /> Kojima loves using peppermint oil to alleviate congestion—just add to a diffuser or mix in with coconut oil. “Peppermint oil not only smells fresh and minty, but also really helps with decongestion, nausea, indigestion, and cooling down when you have a fever!”</p> <p>The key to making the perfect mixture? “I usually mix 2-3 drops with some coconut oil in my hands, cup my mouth and nose, and breathe deeply about 10 times,” she explains. “Usually that helps quite a lot! Keep on going, until you feel some relief.” You can also rub this mixture on your temples for instant, refreshing relief.</p> <p>Want to DIY? Tobi Langer, Senior UX Design Researcher, recommends an old-fashioned steam session. “Pour boiled water in a bowl with two to three drops of eucalyptus oil mixed in, then cover your head with a towel as you lean your face over the bowl.” The steam will open up your sinuses.</p> <h2>Scratchy Throat + Cough</h2> <p>Whether you’re just getting over a cold or have a persistent cough, these remedies will help soothe your throat irritations.</p> <p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/beekeepers-naturals-propolis-throat-spray" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Beekeeper's Naturals Propolis Throat Spray</strong></a><br /> Harley recommends this throat spray for how simple it is. “A few sprays a few times a day and whatever tickle I felt coming on is knocked out,” she says. “It's really soothing if I wind up with a full-blown sore throat, and it tastes great.”</p> <p>And the perfect pairing to this throat spray? Langer’s tea: “Steep Thrive Market Chamomile Tea with Thrive Market Organic Honey and add quite a bit of fresh lemon juice.”</p> <h2>Muscle Aches + Fatigue</h2> <p>When your body just doesn’t feel right—lethargic, tired, and sore—it’s time for ultimate self care. Many Thrivers suggest taking baths with epsom salt and <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/life-flo-pure-magnesium-flakes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">magnesium flakes</a>. If you’re looking for an extra boost, that’s where CBD may be able to help.</p> <p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-full-spectrum-hemp-extract-balm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Thrive Market Full Spectrum Hemp Extract Salve</strong></a><br /> Yasmine Borno, Executive Assistant, uses Thrive Market's balm as a soothing multitasker. “During a long day of standing at work, I’ll put it on the back of my neck to release some tension. I also use it on the back of my hands if they start to ache from typing and texting all day long. I even put a bit under my nose to wake myself up even more! It’s easily my favorite CBD product—I’ve gone through three tins already!”</p> <p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/traditional-medicinals-echinacea-plus-elderberry-herbal-tea" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Traditional Medicinals Echinacea Plus Elderberry Herbal Tea</strong></a><br /> “This tea tastes great and features herbs that help support the immune system: echinacea, elderberry, and ginger,” says Melinda Gross, Managing Editor. “I always make it when I feel run down.”</p> The post <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/cold-flu-remedies-what-were-stocking-up-on">Cold + Flu Remedies: What We're Stocking Up On</a> appeared first on <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog">Thrive Notebook</a>. Startup Stories: Q&A With Thrive Market Member Services Resolutions Agent, Nesly Trezile https://thrivemarket.com/blog/startup-stories-qa-with-thrive-market-member-services-resolutions-agent-nesly-trezile Thrive Notebook urn:uuid:42526418-34cd-4dd2-3d32-7921d921a679 Fri, 28 Feb 2020 09:00:33 -0700 <p>Welcome to Startup Stories, a series that takes you behind the scenes to share what working at a startup is really like. Our mission at Thrive Market is simple: to make healthy living easy and affordable for everyone. But fulfilling our big dreams takes a team of dedicated, inspiring, funny, and tenacious people who show up to work every day eager to make a difference.</p> <p><!--more--></p> <p>Today, we’re introducing you to Nesly Trezile, a Resolutions Agent for Thrive Market Member Services. Read on to get to know him and learn about his experience.</p> <h2>Let’s start with the basics! Tell us about your current role at Thrive Market.</h2> <p>I’m a Resolutions Agent for the Member Services team. I’m basically the bridge between our members, Member Services, and other departments at the company. I help implement change based on member feedback. As a whole, the Resolutions team provides technical assistance, corresponds with our couriers, and focuses on fraud control and prevention. That technical assistance is mostly with the app, which is always being updated with new features. Our members sometimes need help navigating the changes. Same thing for Autoship 2.0—members are finding their feet with that, and we work with them and the tech team to resolve any issues.</p> <h2>Tell us about how you transitioned into your current role.</h2> <p>I’ve been at Thrive Market for just about 3.5 years. I started on the phones, taking calls from our members and helping to resolve their issues. Then about a year later, I shifted to the Resolutions team.</p> <h2>What do you enjoy most about working on the Resolutions team?</h2> <p>I really enjoy the variety. There are so many different problems to solve and issues to fix. I also like being able to help—both our members and the Member Services specialists.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-22879" src="https://cms.thrivemarket.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/STARTUP-STORIES-NESLY-TREZILE-023-1-1200x652.jpg" alt="Startup Stories Kesha MnNair" width="1200" height="652"></p> <h2>What’s a problem you worked on that you’re most proud of?</h2> <p>Our <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-organic-chocolate-truffles" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">chocolate truffles</a>! Last year, we re-stocked the item after the summer season, but our members were being told that it was out of stock, which shouldn’t have been happening. I quickly escalated a ticket to our tech team to resolve the issue.</p> <p>Beyond that, I love being a team player, jumping in whenever my co-workers are on vacation or out sick. I keep to myself a lot during the day, but I really do love working with my team.</p> <h2>Tell us about what you do after work.</h2> <p>I like to go to the gym and blow off some steam. Some of these member problems can really get to you! It’s tough work, but I love it everyday. Going to the gym balances me. Then after the gym, I like to spend a couple hours listening to music and writing.</p> <h2>What kind of music do you listen to?</h2> <p>Arabian jazz is my favorite. I use jazz to get into my space. It’s movement music—mind movement, body movement. The entire world we live in is jazz. You just create movement with jazz. It’s thoughtful music, and I love that.</p> <h2>And what kind of writing are you doing?</h2> <p>I’m working on my first book. It’s about me and my culture, and about escaping and understanding death—very personal things to me.</p> <p>But really it’s about a young woman wanting to escape her situation, her family, her neighborhood. She’s trying to remember her mother, but her mother’s face is covered in a shadow. It’s symbolic of uncovering potential childhood trauma. She wants to remember being happy with her mother.</p> <p>It’s been a challenge writing as a female character. It’s easy to write how I think, and that’s how the book started, but it felt like a diary, so I changed the approach.</p> <h2>How far along are you?</h2> <p>I’m currently working on dialogue and rewriting bits and pieces. I started working on it 2.5 years ago. I just want to do it right. I wouldn't say this is my talent, but it is my passion. My goal is to have a concrete draft this year. I will try to publish it when I'm satisfied. When I do publish it, just knowing that I can do this will give me such validation. And hopefully a publisher is interested!</p> <h2>Where does this passion for writing come from?</h2> <p>I hated reading when I was growing up! My old man wanted me to read the newspaper when all I wanted to do was go outside. I couldn't stand reading, it was torture to me. But it was because I was being forced to read things I didn't like. Once I found what I liked, then I couldn't stop. I love books that stir my imagination, and I want to make someone else feel that way, too.</p> <h2>Which book lit that fire for writing?</h2> <p>“Sandman” by Neil Gaiman. I was fascinated by the fantasy of it and the fantastic journey. The main character, Dream, loses his powers and is trying to regain them. He goes to different universes to find his powers. Gaiman has the ability to take these real-life character narratives and infuse them with mythology, which really resonated with me, coming from Haiti. We believe in premonition and voodoo. You learn to synchronize two different religions—for example, in Haitin culture, there are Catholic saints but they represent different voodoo aspects, so you can connect with religious figures in a way that’s unique to you. I love how “Sandman” pairs the real world with magic.</p> <p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-22879" src="https://cms.thrivemarket.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/STARTUP-STORIES-NESLY-TREZILE-BIG-SUNDAY-1200x652.jpg" alt="Startup Stories Kesha MnNair" width="1200" height="652"></p> <h2>What was it like growing up and living in Haiti?</h2> <p>I can’t wait to go back. I don't remember it as being, what some people call, the “poorest country” in the hemisphere. I lived by the coast, so we'd always go swimming. I loved it. I came to the U.S. when I was 8. We lived in Miami, Los Angeles, and Boston. I’ve always wanted to go back to Haiti, but not just to retire. I want to go back and help the people there in the long term—give back whenever and however I can.</p> <h2>What do you appreciate most about Thrive Market?</h2> <p>The company is really doing what it says it’s doing. It’s fulfilling its mission to make healthy living accessible for everyone in a big way.

Agent, Nesly Trezile</a> appeared first on <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog">Thrive Notebook</a>. Keto vs. Atkins https://thrivemarket.com/blog/keto-vs-atkins Thrive Notebook urn:uuid:04452c67-5294-6955-aaa2-1bb5335e16c0 Fri, 28 Feb 2020 07:10:04 -0700 <p>Need to know the difference between <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/what-is-the-ketogenic-diet" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">keto</a> and Atkins diets? You’re in the right place. These two diets both emphasize a low-carb approach to eating, but they’re not one in the same. Today’s post looks at some nuances worth noting before jumping in.<!--more--></p> <h2>What Is a Keto Diet?</h2> <p>“Keto” is short for ketosis, a <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14769483" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">fat-burning metabolic state</a> that happens when you limit the number of carbs you eat. Without carbs, your body switches to burning fat for energy instead of glucose, and produces compounds called ketones as a result. This “fat-burning” state is called ketosis, which a <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/diets/ketogenic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">keto-centric diet</a> helps you achieve. While weight loss is often a positive side effect for those who are looking to shed some extra pounds, the diet was originally used by neurologists to help reduce seizures in epilepsy patients.</p> <h2>Keto Diet Basics</h2> <p>Here’s everything you need to know about <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/benefits-of-the-keto-diet" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">how to start a keto diet</a>. The first thing to do is clear your pantry and fridge from the following foods:</p> <ul> <li>Grains (rice, pasta, quinoa, and wheat)</li> <li>Processed food</li> <li>Beans</li> <li>Legumes</li> <li>Vegetable oils</li> <li>Milk</li> <li>Juice</li> <li>High-carb nuts (pistachios and cashews)</li> </ul> <p>For a full keto diet grocery list, <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/ketogenic-diet-food-list" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">check out this post</a>. And here are a few basic keeps to jump start your keto diet.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Be a smart snacker.</strong> Snacking isn’t really a hallmark of the keto diet since it may spike blood sugar levels and bring you out of ketosis, but it’s OK to enjoy a few nibbles here and there, like before a workout. Try hard-boiled eggs, nuts and seeds, or nut butters.</li> <li><strong>Manage “keto flu” symptoms.</strong> If you end up experiencing unpleasant side effects of starting a keto diet that make you feel like you have a cold, be sure to take care of yourself until symptoms subside. <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/what-is-keto-flu-symptoms-remedies-how-to-avoid" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This post has lots of tips</a>!</li> <li><strong>Read the menus.</strong> Dining out? Keep an eye on hidden carbs that may lurk in popular restaurant meals. A smart bet is focusing on vegetables, egg dishes, or bunless burgers. When in doubt, chat with your server about any ingredient questions you might have.</li> </ul> <h2>Keto Diet Recipes</h2> <p>Our blog has lots of keto-friendly meals to choose from, but these are some of our favorites!</p> <h3>Keto Tsukune Chicken Meatballs</h3> <p>You’ll love this ketogenic twist on spaghetti and meatballs.

Whether you serve it with grilled steak, roasted chicken, or as a side dish on your Thanksgiving table, <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/keto-mashed-cauliflower-is-an-easy-side-dish" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">silky cauliflower</a> enhances any meal and works for a range of diets.</p> <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5XxVrnCW5RQ" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0"></iframe></p> <hr> <h2>Atkins vs Keto Diet Differences</h2> <p>Like keto, Atkins is also a low-carb diet. It was created by cardiologist <a href="https://www.atkins.com/our-mission" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dr. Robert Atkins</a>, who noticed that eating right—not necessarily less—improved his patients’ health outcomes. Some proponents have described the Atkins diet “a more flexible keto,” because Atkins is broken down into four phases based on your weight goals, and allows for more carbs overall than keto. For example, an average keto diet recommends aiming for 20 grams of carbs or less per day, and up to 50 grams for a more moderate approach.</p> <p>Here are the four phases of an Atkins diet.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Phase 1 (Induction):</strong> This phase recommends eating 20–25 grams of net carbs per day until you are 15 pounds from your goal weight.</li> <li><strong>Phase 2:</strong> During this phase, eat 25–50 grams of net carbs per day until you are 10 pounds from your goal weight.</li> <li><strong>Phase 3:</strong> For Phase 3, your net carb allowance is raised to between 50–80 grams per day, until you’ve reached your goal weight and maintained it for at least 1 month.</li> <li><strong>Phase 4:</strong> In the final phase, eating 80–100 grams of net carbs per day is the goal, which is believed to support ongoing weight maintenance.</li> </ul> <h2>Atkins Diet Benefits</h2> <p>When a <a href="https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2007/03/stanford-diet-study-tips-scale-in-favor-of-atkins-plan.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stanford University School of Medicine</a> study compared four popular diets, Atkins was declared the most effective in terms of both weight loss, cholesterol, and blood pressure. However, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15351198" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">another study</a> found that while low-carb eating offered better weight loss results after six months, outcomes didn’t change much after the one-year mark. So, is Atkins healthy? If this question is on your mind, the answer all depends on your unique health goals. If you’re looking to lose weight and improve your overall health, Atkins may be a smart diet to experiment with. If you have any questions, schedule an appointment with your health care provider to discuss the best options for you!</p> <h2>Atkins Diet Meals</h2> <p>One of the <a href="https://www.atkins.com/how-it-works/compare-diets" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">main differences</a> between keto meals and Atkins diet meals is the focus on protein. When you’re following a ketogenic diet, most of your calories come from fat, which doesn’t always leave room for as much protein. The Atkins diet believes protein is essential for maintaining muscle mass, and recommends including it on your plate.</p> <p>Preparing Atkins-friendly meals will depend on which type of program you’re following. (Atkins 20®, Atkins 40®, and Atkins 100® are all options, with the numbers indicating the amount of carbs you’ll be eating per day. Overall, the program emphasizes the following types of ingredients that <a href="https://www.atkins.com/how-it-works/atkins-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">build on each other</a> depending on the phase you’re in.</p> <ul> <li>Healthy fats</li> <li><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/c/nuts-seeds-trail-mixes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nuts and seeds</a></li> <li>Cheese</li> <li>Berries, cherries, or melons</li> <li>Vegetables</li> <li>Tomato juice</li> <li>Legumes</li> <li>Starchy vegetables</li> <li>Whole grains</li> </ul> <p>If a low-carb diet is in your future, keto and Atkins both offer benefits, but if you don’t feel ready to make an informed decision just yet, ask your doctor to weigh in to make a plan that works for you!</p> <div

https://thrivemarket.com/blog/3-recipes-for-keto-friendly-veggie-chips-in-the-air-fryer Thrive Notebook urn:uuid:8582fe49-d4b6-5f5d-a6b1-df814db8f235 Thu, 27 Feb 2020 16:58:24 -0700 <p>If you’ve been let down by veggie chips in the past, these recipes warrant giving them another chance. A serving will not only satisfy cravings while keeping things <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/diets/ketogenic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">keto</a>, but you’ll also enjoy loads of flavor thanks to foolproof spice mixes like garlic and herb or smoky barbecue. Watch Prep School host <a href="http://www.chefmeganmitchell.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Megan Mitchell</a> make three crave-worthy versions featuring zucchini, kale, and eggplant.<!--more--></p> <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AISYboZhmtU" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <h2>BBQ Zucchini Chips</h2> <p>Your favorite BBQ chips can move aside. Featuring versatile zucchini and a keto-friendly seasoning mix, these chips hit the spot while keeping your diet goals on track.</p> <p>Yield: 4 servings<br /> Active time: 5 minutes<br /> Total time: 20 minutes</p> <h3>Ingredients</h3> <p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-avocado-oil-spray" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Avocado oil spray</a><br /> 1 large zucchini (about 8-inches long), thinly sliced on a mandoline<br /> 1 teaspoon <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/primal-palate-barbecue-rub-seasoning" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Primal Palate Barbecue Rub Seasoning</a><br /> ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-organic-whole-black-peppercorns-grinder" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">black pepper</a></p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <p>Liberally spray wire rack to prevent sticking. Place zucchini in a bowl with barbecue seasoning and pepper; toss evenly to coat, pulling apart any rounds that stick together. Working in batches, arrange zucchini on wire rack in a flat, even layer, making sure none overlap. Fry at 300°F for 5 minutes; flip and fry for 6 to 7 minutes more, or until browned and crisp. The zucchini will want to fly around when frying, so rearrange them as needed. Repeat instructions with second batch.</p> <hr /> <h2>New Bae Kale Chips</h2> <p>Sturdy green kale leaves are the perfect canvas for new bae seasoning featuring cayenne, celery seed, paprika, bay leaves, and other spices.</p> <p>Yield: 4 servings<br /> Active time: 5 minutes<br /> Total time: 15 minutes</p> <h3>Ingredients</h3> <p>1 bunch dinosaur or lacinato kale<br /> 1 tablespoon <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-organic-extra-virgin-olive-oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">extra virgin olive oil</a><br /> 1 teaspoon. <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/primal-palate-new-bae-seasoning-jar" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Primal Palate New Bae Seasoning Jar</a></p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <p>Remove kale leaves from the stems and tear or chop into 3-inch pieces; wash and pat or spin dry. Place kale in a bowl with oil and seasoning; toss to combine. Working in batches, arrange kale onto the wire rack in a flat, even layer, making sure none overlap. Fry at 250°F for 5 to 6 minutes, or until browned and crisp. The leaves will want to fly around while frying; rearrange as needed.</p> <hr /> <h2>Garlic and Herb Eggplant Chips</h2> <p>It’s hard to go wrong when garlic, herbs, and eggplant are involved. Throw an air fryer into the mix and the result is a perfectly crispy texture that’s pretty addicting—you’ve been warned!</p> <p>Yield: 4 servings<br /> Active time: 5 minutes<br /> Total time: 15 minutes</p> <h3>Ingredients</h3> <p>Avocado oil spray<br /> 2 baby Japanese eggplants, thinly sliced on a mandoline<br /> 1 teaspoon <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/primal-palate-garlic-herb-seasoning" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Primal Palate Garlic &amp; Herb Seasoning</a></p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <p>Liberally spray wire rack to prevent sticking. Place eggplant in a bowl with the garlic and herb seasoning; toss evenly to coat, pulling apart any rounds that stick together. Arrange eggplant on wire rack in a flat, even layer, making sure none overlap. Fry at 300°F for 5 minutes; flip and fry for 4 to 5 minutes more, or until browned and crispy. The eggplant will want to fly around when frying, so rearrange them as needed.</p> <p><em>Recipes by Angela Gaines</em></p> <div style="display: none;"><div class="slide-size"><div class="product plp

During the entire month of March, we will be collecting donations at checkout to fund the development of four clean water projects (specifically, community wells with hand pumps) in Ethiopia.</p> <hr /> <p>Last year, we reached our original donation goal of $50,000, which was matched by a new partner—<a href="https://rednoseday.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Red Nose Day USA</a>—to bring our total donation to charity: water up to $100,000. The funds were used to develop 10 clean water wells in Ethiopia.</p> <hr /> <p>Since we launched Thrive Market, we’ve been dedicated to our mission of making healthy living accessible for everyone. While the food we eat and products we use on our bodies and in our homes are our primary focus, we also recognize that lack of access to basic human necessities—like clean, safe drinking water—is causing profound human problems around the globe.</p> <p><!--more--></p> <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MTs0I1V7Qk4" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p>For many of us, our ability to open a tap and fill a glass with clean, drinkable water is something we almost take for granted. But for 663 million people around the world, the reality is dramatically different. Nearly <a href="https://www.who.int/en/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/drinking-water" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">one in 10 people worldwide have limited access to clean water</a>; most live in isolated rural areas and spend hours every day walking to collect water for their families. Primarily women and children are tasked with collecting water, which means that women are unable to earn an income to support their families and children are kept out of school. To make matters worse, the water they spend so much time collecting often carries diseases that can make everyone sick.</p> <p><a href="https://cms.thrivemarket.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/JS_20140426_6767-1200x652.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-62455" src="https://cms.thrivemarket.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/JS_20140426_6767-1200x652-1200x652.jpg" alt="JS_20140426_6767 1200x652" width="1200" height="652" /></a></p> <p>But access to clean water can change everything. That’s the core belief that sparked the mission behind <a href="https://www.charitywater.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">charity: water</a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, our charitable partner for the month of March. Charity: water founder Scott Harrison spent a decade as a New York City nightclub promoter before he found himself feeling spiritually, morally, and emotionally bankrupt. Harrison spent two years on a hospital ship off the coast of Liberia, where he saw the effects of dirty water firsthand. Inspired and transformed by the experience, he returned to New York and started charity: water from his apartment. Now, 12 years later and with the help of more than 1 million supporters worldwide, charity: water has raised more than $360 million and funded over 35,000 water projects in 27 countries. When completed, those <a href="https://www.charitywater.org/projects" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">projects</a> will provide over 9.5 million people with clean, safe drinking water.</span></p> <p><a href="https://cms.thrivemarket.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/JS_20140426_6954-1200x652.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-62456" src="https://cms.thrivemarket.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/JS_20140426_6954-1200x652-1200x652.jpg" alt="JS_20140426_6954 1200x652" width="1200" height="652" /></a></p> <p>We’re proud to partner with charity: water this month and give our members the opportunity to help bring clean water to communities in need. Our goal is to raise $50,000, which will fund five clean water wells in Malawi, one of the least developed and most impoverished countries in the world.</p> <h2>Ready to get involved?</h2> <p>There are multiple ways you can help! For starters, every time you order during the month of March, you can donate a portion—or all!—of your savings when you check out. Every dollar donated at checkout will go to our projects with charity: water, and just $30 can bring clean water to one more person in need.</p> <p>If you’re not ready to make a purchase or aren’t yet a Thrive Market member, you can also donate directly to charity: water through our <a href="https://my.charitywater.org/thrive-market/clean-water" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">donation page</a>.</p> <p>Follow along on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thrivemarket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thrivemarket" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/thrivemarket" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Twitter</a> throughout March for regular updates on progress toward our goal of $50,000, as well as more details about the campaign and insights from the charity: water team.</p> <p><a href="https://cms.thrivemarket.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ethiopia_11.2011_AgamMinch2_18Mo-Scarpelli-1_preview-1200x652.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-62453" src="https://cms.thrivemarket.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ethiopia_11.2011_AgamMinch2_18Mo-Scarpelli-1_preview-1200x652-1200x652.jpg" alt="ethiopia_11.2011_AgamMinch2_18(Mo Scarpelli) (1)_preview 1200x652" width="1200" height="652" /></a></p> <p>Here’s a quick download of what we can accomplish together in support of charity: water:</p> <h3>Improving Health</h3> <p>Diseases from dirty water kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. <span style="font-weight: 400;">Forty-three percent of those deaths are children under five years old. Access to clean water and basic sanitation can save around 16,000 lives every week.</span></p> <h3>Prioritizing Education</h3> <p>Clean water helps keep kids in school, especially girls, because less time collecting water means more time in class. Clean water and proper toilets at school means teenage girls don’t have to stay home for a week out of every month.</p> <h3>Taking Back Time</h3> <p>In Africa alone, women spend 40 billion hours a year walking for water. Access to clean water gives communities more time to grow food, earn an income, and go to school—all of which combat poverty.</p> <h3>Empowering Women</h3> <p>Women are responsible for 72% of the water collected in Sub-Saharan Africa. When a community gets water, women and girls get their lives back. They start businesses, improve their homes, and take charge of their own futures.</p> The post <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/bringing-clean-water-to-the-world-with-charity-water">Bringing Clean Water to the World with charity: water</a> appeared first on <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog">Thrive Notebook</a>. Should You Try Keto? Elana Amsterdam Weighs In https://thrivemarket.com/blog/should-you-try-keto-elana-amsterdam-weighs-in Thrive Notebook urn:uuid:d514853a-24b7-3522-5acf-2dec1856c312 Thu, 27 Feb 2020 09:00:18 -0700 <p>Elana Amsterdam’s personal brand is best described as “spectacularly relentless.” She’s overcome diagnoses for celiac disease and multiple sclerosis, launched <a href="https://elanaspantry.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elana’s Pantry</a>, a blog dedicated to paleo and keto recipes, and has written three cookbooks. Amsterdam is a wellness expert that we can all admire for her creativity and tenacity.</p> <p><!--more--><span style="font-size: inherit;">And today, she’s sharing her personal health journey. Learn why trying the keto diet set her on the right path to healing, and how she uses her Thrive Market membership.</span></p> <h2>Tell us a bit about yourself. How did Elana’s Pantry get its start?</h2> <p>I was diagnosed with celiac disease shortly after completing a multi-year Ayurvedic training in the early 1990s. I was living a healthy lifestyle—eating well, practicing yoga and meditation daily. My diet was mostly made up of real food, so I didn't have many adjustments to make when I was diagnosed.</p> <h2>How did you feel about the diagnosis?</h2> <p>I wasn’t super surprised because my family has a history of autoimmune disorders. Also, I was busy raising very small children and didn’t have the time or bandwidth to process the diagnosis!</p> <p>After my first child was diagnosed with celiac disease, I made it my mission to turn all of my childhood favorite dishes into gluten-free classics. That was in 2001 when gluten-free paleo cookbooks and food blogs were very scarce. I created low-carb gluten-free recipes day and night! After a while, friends and family began asking for them. As the word spread, I had so many people contacting me that I had to start my website, elanaspantry.com.</p> <h2>In addition to celiac disease, you were also diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and multiple sclerosis. How has this shaped your approach to health and wellness?</h2> <p>I’ve been in the health space for over a quarter century and began my healing journey well before any of those diagnoses occurred. Initially, I felt a bit of shame having these health issues given that I was living a very healthy lifestyle. That’s the competitive perfectionist that sits on my shoulder, pushing me to do more and be “better” at everything. I’m still in the process of learning to replace self-attack thinking with self-acceptance. And as time has gone on and I’ve entered middle age, getting well into my 50s, I’ve realized that living a healthy life focused on wellness inside and out has saved me from so many of the symptoms that come with celiac, Hashi’s, and MS. My quality of life is high for a “normal healthy” person, let alone someone suffering from those conditions.</p> <h2>How has your health journey influenced who you are today?</h2> <p>I’ve had to build resilience to cope with each diagnosis and have become far more understanding of my limitations and those of others. Guiding my readers on the path to health is quite a responsibility, and so is having millions of people cooking recipes from my books and website in their kitchens. I’m honored to have been at the forefront of this movement in healthy eating and living for over two decades.</p> <h2>You cover an array of diets of your website. Let’s dive into keto. What has been your experience with the keto diet?</h2> <p>I started the keto diet in 2014 to help with symptoms of multiple sclerosis and it was incredibly helpful.</p> <h2>Why did you choose keto?</h2> <p>I decided to keto because it was designed to treat another neurological disorder, epilepsy. Since both that disease and MS share a component of inflammation in the brain I thought it was worth a shot. I was not disappointed! The keto diet was very helpful in improving my mental clarity, as well as mood and athletic performance. On a cosmetic note, I also noticed my skin was far less wrinkled.</p> <p>The classic therapeutic ketogenic diet was created in the 1920s to <a href="https://www.news-medical.net/health/History-of-the-Ketogenic-Diet.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">treat pediatric epilepsy</a>, and it works because it reduces inflammation in the brain, thereby reducing seizures. With keto, we hack our metabolic process, to go from carb-burning to fat-burning. Fat is a fuel that burns more cleanly than carbohydrates, resulting in an increase in brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), and a decrease in overall <a href="https://n.neurology.org/content/88/16_Supplement/P3.090" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">inflammation</a>. Living with a disease like MS has forced me to constantly push the envelope and experiment with new ideas in order to stay as healthy as possible while aging. Aging itself involves an increase in inflammation and autoimmune diseases do the same—the combination of the two is a challenge I face daily.</p> <h2>What are some of your favorite keto recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner that everyone can enjoy?</h2> <p>I practice intermittent fasting and skip breakfast. Lunch and dinner are meat (protein), vegetables (carbs), with olive oil, coconut oil, etc. (fat). For treats, I love dark chocolate, macadamia nuts, and berries, and nothing beats my <a href="https://elanaspantry.com/keto-blueberry-lemon-bread/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Keto Blueberry Lemon Bread</a>.</p> <p>Some of my favorite recipes for lunch are:</p> <p><a href="https://elanaspantry.com/thai-chicken-soup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Thai Chicken Soup</a></p> <p><a href="https://elanaspantry.com/keto-huevos-rancheros-skillet-casserole/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Huevos Rancheros Skillet Casserole</a></p> <p>And some of my favorite recipes for dinner are:</p> <p><a href="https://elanaspantry.com/meatballs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Basic Meatball</a></p> <p><a href="https://elanaspantry.com/asian-stir-fry/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Asian Stir Fry Recipe</a></p> <p><a href="https://elanaspantry.com/chicken-parmigiano/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chicken Parmesan Recipe</a></p> <h2>What pantry staples are imperative for a successful Keto experience?</h2> <p>My favorite pantry staples for keto are <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-almond-flour" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">almond flour</a>, Thrive Market <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-organic-dark-chocolate-85-with-cacao-nibs-himalayan-pink-salt" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">85% dark chocolate</a>, and <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/p/thrive-market-organic-raw-macadamia-nuts" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">macadamia nuts</a>, which are very high in fat. Thrive Market’s almond flour is top quality and works super well in my <a href="https://elanaspantry.com/salt-and-pepper-crackers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Keto Salt &amp; Pepper Crackers</a>. Almond flour is also my kitchen secret weapon—I wrote my <a href="https://elanaspantry.com/cookbooks/gluten-free-almond-flour-cookbook/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">first book</a> on it!</p> <p>It’s important to note that the keto diet is very different than a regular low-carb diet. Keto is a low-carb diet that allows minimal protein with an emphasis on eating a lot of fat. It involves manipulating your macros so that at least 50% of your calories come from fat, while low-carb is simply about avoiding carbohydrates.</p> <h2>What do you love most about Thrive Market?</h2> <p>Everything! First, I really appreciate the careful curation process to bring members the healthiest food. Second, I love that Thrive Market is very thoughtful about its carbon footprint—from sourcing to packing to shipping out orders. Finally, the co-founders are some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever met.</p>The post <a href="https://thrivemarket.com/blog/should-you-try-keto-elana-amsterdam-weighs-in">Should You Try Keto?
