Inside the health folder
A few things to cook, read and come back to. Meal ideas, mindfulness resources and a few questions I kept with them.
Tomorrow’s breakfast, considered.
Dr. Jo-Anne Mina at Dhaya Integrative Health sent me a 14-page handout with ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. These four caught my attention.
Nut-butter overnight oats
The handout linked to this five-ingredient recipe from Minimalist Baker.
Read the original recipe ↗Rosemary chicken
A roast seasoned with rosemary and olive oil, paired in the handout with vegetables or salad.
Cinnamon-spiced salmon
The pairing I read twice, with a suggested side of greens or mashed squash.
These are ideas from the handout, not a treatment for inflammation or a dietary plan for everyone. Use the linked author’s recipe for ingredients and cooking instructions.
Five minutes is a place to start.
The follow-up email included two short guided meditations and a separate body-tapping video. These are the links I received in 2019.

Bring your attention back.
The mindfulness handout was a copy of Thich Nhat Hanh’s Five Steps to Mindfulness, published by Mindful. The original article is available to read online.

A prescription has context.
Dr. Mina sent my supplement prescription separately through Fullscript. I kept it alongside the meal ideas and mindfulness resources, with questions to bring to our next conversation.
