She is active in spiritual circles as well, and for many yogi, meat is unacceptable violence. Wrote a great blog about dropping the dogma, including in spirituality. She got a lot of negative feedback on her book, A Mind of Your Own, about healing depression by minimizing medical interventions and focusing on things like paleo. If she is not on this site, she should be, and I'll drop her a line about it. She is a psychiatrist who focuses on women's health and getting unplugged from allopathic medicine. Also, a woman that I deeply respect and am continuously in awe of-Dr. I didn't think that a person who Re-wilds him or herself was being unethical. But in my heart I knew that I didn't think, for example, that the Native American practices surrounding meat eating were "bad" or unethical. You can feel good about your ethics and even graciously agree to disagree with all the meat eaters in your life, thinking you are open minded because you're not actively proselytizing the lifestyle. In retrospect, it's easy to become judgemental about being vegetarianism without realizing it. Then it became the excitement of feeling like I'd found a special club to belong to. I was never convinced that cutting bone broth and organ meats were a good idea-it just felt right to me to incorporate that into diet, and if I'm eating entrails and bones what the hell am I thinking about vegetarianism for? In retrospect, it is definitely the ethical considerations, which was "confirmed" for me by the science done in a context without nnEMF, and because there really are health concerns wrt toxins in meat that is industrially processed. I'm bright and strong willed enough that if that is truly what my heart was telling me to do, I would have just done it. I kept making excuses and having exceptions. However, when I really examined my viewpoints I realized why I never just became vegetarian-it's not what my instincts are telling me to do, even if it what life seems to be presenting me as a path toward health and spiritual happiness. So I took that as a sign my body was telling me to do what I thought was ethically right. Also, in my second pregnancy, red meat triggered morning sickness-the only 3 times i had it were when I had eaten red meat within 24 hours (in my first pregnancy I didn't notice a connection but I also was simply eating meat as a staple of my diet, and i did have morning sickness through trimester 1). I still have serious and valid concerns about animal welfare in the meat industry which is both compassionate and health-related. I was getting deep into yoga philosophy and practice, and the concept of ahimsa-nonviolence-is very compelling to me. Even though I recognized Paleo (hey, that's basically my childhood diet!) I was becoming convinced vegetarianism in some form was for me. I did, however, believe in a food lifestyle. I've never been a dieter, I knew instinctively that was BS. It was both an ethical and a health-related choice. "Moving toward vegetarianism" is how I categorized myself for about a year and a half. Am I making choices based on what I educate myself on, and intuit, is right for me, or am I worried about what others think of me? Recognizing that was quite a wake up call. I'd started identifying with a non-meat crowd, and I was ashamed. However, I realized I couldn't bring myself to post instagram pics of these fantastic paleo meals.because meat. But I have a confession to make: I have been guilty of posting food pics on instagram over the years. I've been making some fantastic paleo meals.
