I came across this picture from 1 year ago... I was bopping around one of my favorite places....Tofino, BC. . Rugged, Epic Beauty. . Instead of the long mountain bike rides and trail runs I was used to, I was sleeping a lot, taking long walks on beaches, and I was letting my body heal. . . I can still feel this moment....and it was a feeling of pure joy😊 . . After 2 months of intense healing time, following one of the scariest moments in my Crohns life, I was starting to feel like myself again! My appetite was coming back, I started gaining weight, I wasn’t in intense pain anymore, and I felt like i could finally carry on a proper articulate conversation. . . Having a chronic illness means altering your life often. Schedules don’t really work. You are constantly having to cancel plans. You use up all of your “sick time”. You stay in bed on sunny days when the rest of the city is taking in that warmth. You have a hard time keeping up conversations because your brain isn’t computing anything. Your activity level alters daily. And, you feel guilty for all of this. . . This year, I stopped feeling guilty. And started accepting what I truly needed. I started going to bed at 9, I stopped making plans, I listened to my body’s needs, I started getting body work when I really needed it, and I seriously cut back on my work hours. And that’s when I truly started healing. . . I was giggling with a friend this weekend about a new acronym that’s been floating around more. JOMO. Joy of Missing Out. Well, that’s where I am these days☺️ . . I don’t feel bad for doing nothing anymore....And my body has been loving me for it.🥰 . . If you have a chronic illness, one golden piece of advice I can give is to be kind to yourself. You are deserving of all the lazy days in bed, moments of stillness, and loving self-care. Give yourself that. . . Sending all the warriors out there tons of loving, healing thoughts😘 . . . . #autoimmunedisease #tofino #crohnsandcolitis #guthealing #ibd #listentoyourbody #fightlikeagirl #travelphotography #specificcarbohydratediet #healing #wholebodyhealth #treatyoself #crohnswarrior #jomo #fomo #bekindtoyourself #healthcoach #autoimmunewarrior
I love how the Sun and the Calendula just made these babies POP!!! . These were part of a dessert tray for a lovely evening with @backtobroth . They invited a handful of small passionate local businesses to be a part of their launch celebration. And it was so wonderful! . I can’t express enough how supported I feel in the Portland community. . This community over competition feeling is real. . And being able to collaborate with other small businesses that have the same healthy vision for our world brings me so much joy☺️ . To the wonderful artisans of the evening, thank you!!😘 @marionacres, @backtobroth @artemisiaelixirbar @livingfoodalchemy @gather_around_nutrition @riseupremedies @farmpunksalads @trailbrewpdx @innaterhythm_ @helvetiamarket . . . . #communityovercompetition #wholebodyhealth #grainfree #sugarfree #womenownedbusiness #smallbusiness #portlandoregon #pdxeats #eaterpdx #glutenfreeportland #love #heartful #healthyliving #guthealth #dessertporn #community #portlandlove #spreadthelove #strongwomenlifteachotherup
Slow mornings call for Paleo Bread. . Made with Almond Flour, Coconut Flour, Honey, Rosemary, and Garlic Oil. . It’s been so hard accepting and admitting to myself, that my body just can’t handle these 13 hour work days as a nurse. I love my patients, I love the challenge, the brain power, the team collaborations, and the financial stability. But every single time I push myself just a little harder, and work those extra hours, I pay for it. . I’ve always had this struggle though....the struggle with staying grounded and constantly moving. And it wasn’t until I seriously focused on grounding down and relaxing, did my body actually begin to heal. . Part of that was dropping down my hours as a nurse and exploring other options.... . But hard choices most often turn into huge rewards... . . My acupuncturist reached out this morning randomly to check in.... And I realized how long it had been since I needed her. 2 whole months. 1 year ago I think I was seeing her twice a week.... pretty amazing how your health can change so dramatically.... . Listen to your gut when it’s telling you to slow down and explore healthier options.... Especially for those of us with Autoimmune Diseases.... it can make the world of difference. . . Giving thanks this morning to my slow mornings and my Paleo Bread...☺️ . . . Thank you @wildheartswellnesspdx . #paleolifestyle #crohnswarrior #crohnsandcolitis #trustyourgut #healthychoices #wholebodyhealth #paleobread #paleobakery #glutenfreeportland #grainfree #dairyfree #sugarfree #autoimmunedisease #honeypalette #rnlife #portlandlife #registerednurse #autoimmunewarrior #acupunctureworks #slowfood
I don’t know if I’ve fully explained why I started Honey Palette..... . I’m here because I’m a Registered Nurse and I’ve been a patient in a hospital many times for my Crohns Disease. . What saved me from surgeries was taking matters into my own hands, changing my life, and most importantly....my diet. The biggest thing...was that I CUT OUT SUGAR. . It wasn’t easy. Sugar is like an addiction. And, It’s in EVERYTHING. Imagine trying to cut something out that you have never taken away. First birthdays, Halloween, easter. Its very similar to detoxing from a drug. And its hard to stick with it when you are left with hardly any choices, unless you want to slave away in the kitchen all the time. . I want sweet treats to be available to everyone, without the refined sugar. I want us all to have choices and the opportunity to heal without feeling that we need to miss outZ Just because we are healing ourselves, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t ever be able to have donuts or a cake again. . That’s why I want to be here....and I honestly don’t want to be the only one. . I see many other businesses providing treats only sweetened with Honey and Maple Syrup. And it makes me so happy! And I want more! . I want my diabetes patients to be off their insulin, I want my fellow autoimmune warriors to thrive without the fear of a flare, I want parents to have an option to give their kids a sweet treat that isn’t laced with sugar. . How lovely would it be if there were Paleo Donuts and Cakes in every coffee shop?! Like mine:) . I want more awareness around the fact that food can be made without sugar, and still taste delicious. . We deserve to have the right to a healthy whole self. . And.... we also all deserve dessert☺️ . Lots of love to you all. . #healthyself #trustyourgut #scd #scddiet #crohnswarrior #autoimmunedisease #paleodonuts #tastetherainbow🌈 #nurseturnedbaker #smallbusiness #sugarfree #paleolifestyle #honeylover #honeypalette #sugaraddict #bakingtheworldabetterplace #rnlife #dessertporn #autoimmunewarrior #wholebodyhealth #specificcarbohydratediet
Days off are simply the best!! Wine tasting, soaking, and hanging with some amazing friends. My heart and soul seriously needed that😍 . . I haven’t been the best lately at posting on the regular, but that’s because I’ve been trying to create a more balanced life.....Social media takes up so much damn time!😜 . So, if you just started following me and if you haven’t figured out who I really am yet....I’m Laney. The owner of Honey Palette. I’m also a Registered Nurse, Health Coach, dog mom to a crazy Tatertot, a follower of a mix of the AIP and SCD Diets, and a Crohns Warrior. . . I have been finding my way through a diagnosis of Crohns Disease for 18 years, and I am so grateful for all that I’ve learned. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, but I am truly thankful for it making me stronger and healthier both physically and mentally. . . I love educating people about nutrition and the issues behind sugar consumption, teaching others about autoimmune diseases, sharing about my own Autoimmune Journey, and trying to find ways to empower others to take control of their own health. . . . If you or anyone you know would love some support through changing your diet, or if you just want to chat because you need some emotional support surrounding your Autoimmune journey, feel free to reach out. I’m here. . . . And, if you need some donuts and live in the Portland area, please also message me!😝 . . Sending you all tons of love on this rainy afternoon ❤️ . . . . #crohnswarrior #scd #aipdiet #scddiet #womenownedbusiness #paleodonuts #paleolifestyle #donuts🍩 #specificcarbohydratediet #autoimmunedisease #guthealth #autoimmunewarrior #healing #vulnerability #trustyourgut #rnlife💉💊 #communityovercompetition #crohnsandcolitis #crohnsdisease

The Kenton Farmers Market and these Chocolate Frosted donuts brightened my day today. . I had one of those emotionally rocking 36 hours, and had a seriously hard time keeping my shit together. In other words, I didn’t. . I almost “called In sick” to my farmers market. . But I didn’t. And I’m so very grateful that I didn’t. . You all made my heart warm and fuzzy, and I can’t thank you enough for the giggles, the amazing conversation, and your lightheartedness. . . Thank you😘 . . #grateful #paleobakery #scddiet #farmersmarket #paleodonuts #sugarfree #glutenfreeportland #specificcarbohydratediet #loveyourneighbor #communityovercompetition #smallbusiness #hearttoheart #womenownedbusiness #crohnswarrior #love #autoimmunedisease #paleolifestyle #portlandlove #thankful #rnturnedbaker #rnlife💉💊 #honeypalette #bakingtheworldabetterplace
