My mom is still waiting for her MRI—over 24 hours behind schedule because one of the machines broke. This is truly unacceptable, especially when she’s waiting to rule out a mini-stroke. If someone could be dealing with a mini-stroke, delaying this test is dangerous. The longer she waits, the worse it could get, and the food they’re serving her is definitely not healthy for anyone.

Here’s the photo my mom sent me of her lunch. Looks like chicken, rice with carrots, mango, and onion salsa, apple sauce, a salad, chamomile tea, Kraft dressing (likely Golden Italian), an Udi’s chocolate chip cookie, and butternut squash soup.

Here’s the issue: This meal is mostly carbs, sugars, and possibly unhealthy fats. The rice, fruit salsa, and apple sauce are carb-heavy, and the apple sauce is probably packed with added sugar. The salad, while it seems like a healthy choice, can be hard to digest for some people and doesn’t provide much in terms of protein. That Kraft dressing is full of seed oils and preservatives. The Udi’s cookie is processed sugar and flour, and the butternut squash soup likely has unhealthy fats or hidden sugars.

Why is this the food hospitals are supplying? Wouldn’t they want to provide meals that actually support recovery, especially when dealing with potential heart issues or high blood pressure? Why are we being served food that’s high in sugars, carbs, and unhealthy fats? Could it be that these food companies have ties with hospitals? It’s time to question why this is considered “normal” hospital food when it’s far from healthy.

A better option? How about a protein-packed meal that actually supports healing—like grilled steak, grilled chicken, fish, with a healthy fat source such as avocado, or a hearty broth-based soup with real, whole ingredients. Definitely healthier than a cookie.

What do you think?

GM!

I wanted to follow up with my post yesterday about what they gave my mom for breakfast in the hospital. Let’s talk about today’s meal—what’s on the plate, the sugar, the lack of protein, and why this isn’t good for someone who’s in the hospital for high blood pressure, possibly related to heart or stroke issues.

Today’s breakfast: reduced-fat milk, orange juice, strawberries, a cheese blitz, and scrambled eggs. When you break it down, this meal is loaded with 30-37g of sugar, most of it coming from the juice, cheese blitz, and milk, and there’s barely any protein to support recovery, aside from the eggs.

How is this considered healthy for someone dealing with high blood pressure or potential heart issues? Or for anyone really? It’s mind-boggling. Doctors are quick to prescribe medication, but they don’t ask about nutrition. And honestly, most nutritionists and dietitians aren’t given the full picture of what truly makes us healthy either.

I can speak from personal experience. I’ve dealt with depression, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, thyroid issues, and more. After cutting out added sugars, processed foods, and seed oils, I’ve felt 10x better. That’s not just a coincidence—it’s proof that food is medicine.

We’ve been taught that foods like this are “normal,” but it’s time to question everything. The system has made us believe this is okay, but it’s not. Every body is different, and just because something works for one person doesn’t mean it’s good for everyone.

OPEN your eyes and start asking the tough questions. Your health and how you feel matter more than what we’ve been told.
