Menopause and Nightshade Vegetables

At this point within in our program, we have found that if you still suffer from:

• Low Energy
• Digestive Issues-Heartburn, Diarrhea, Gas, IBS, Bloating
• Moodiness, Anxiety, Depression
• Headaches, Joint Pain and Stiffness, Muscle Aches
• Sleeping Disturbances

Then it’s time to pull the shades, the nightshades that is.

Would you have guessed that potatoes, paprika, and eggplants have a strong commonality?

Along with tomatoes and peppers…

They all belong to The Nightshade Family.

If you do not suffer from any of the above symptoms…

You can skip this class.

But if you are like me…

Read it to learn something you didn’t know…

And use the knowledge to help others.

Most of my clients have no problem with nightshades.

But if you have a sensitivity to them…

You are probably classifying yourself as a difficult client.

So?

What’s A Nightshade?

They are the common white potato, eggplant, tomato, and pepper, both the painful and pleasurable peppers.

Nightshades are also the spices like paprika, red pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Nightshades also include this bad boy, belladonna, remember McBeth?

Some of you with different cultural backgrounds or grandparents in the know…

Saw them avoid nightshades altogether.

Nightshades were considered suspicious at best

But from research, a majority of my clients have no problems with nightshades.

But…

And that should be a

BUT!

If you’re having thyroid problems, gut problems and suffer from chronic fatigue…

We’re going to take a break from them during Phase TWO of HOPE.

And…

Maybe a permanent break if you see a dramatic positive difference in your energy levels and digestive health.

So what makes Nightshade fruits and vegetables so toxic to some people.

(Remember, tomatoes are a fruit.)

The same reason organic fresh oregano is to me.

IN-FLAM-MA-TION

Many of my colleagues blame the potent form of vitamin D in nightshades…

Others blame the alkaloids…

And the Paleo guys blame lectins…

Alkaloids include solanine found in potatoes,

Other alkaloids include nicotine and capsaicin found in tobacco and peppers.

These alkaloids are the plant’s natural God-given pesticides.

Pesticides are toxic!

But?

We are much different than those little tiny pests that attack plants.

So?

Why do some of you have such a hard time with Nightshades?

They trigger your body to inflame!

Thye trigger your body to have a civil war within itself.

Most of our clients with thyroid issues will also have a gut issue.

The permeability of the gut is increased by the toxins in nightshades…

And proteins that are never supposed to pass through the gut’s walls do.

Like gluten!

And when these proteins pass through the gut’s walls…

The immune system is triggered.

And WA LA!

You’re sick

This is the same problem my colleagues believe lectins cause.

Lectins are what in peanuts that make some people die.

I just got sooo dramatic.

But it’s true.

It’s estimated that 150 to 200 people die a year from peanuts.

So?

If lectins in peanuts can kill you…

They may make some of you sick.

So?

What should you do?

Rate your overall energy between 0 to 10

If you scored less than an 8

Or have

• Gut issues
• Autoimmune Diseases
• Leaky Gut

You should eliminate Nightshades from your diet…

For at least one month!

After one month if you feel no better.

Bring them back…

If you feel much better…

Say bye bye to nightshades.

Now if you are like me and rate above an 8…

But have some mild gut and energy issues…

Do this:

• Peel all potatoes (alkaloids are found in the skin)
• Avoid green tomatoes
• Avoid green and/or sprouting potatoes (unripe nightshades are higher in alkaloids)
• Eat only cooked nightshades.
