[What is Kava?]

Kava, also known as piper methysticum, kava kava, and ‘awa, is a small shrub native to the islands in the South Pacific. The root and stems are made into a non-alcoholic, psychoactive beverage that has been used socially and ceremonially for hundreds of years in Hawaii, Fiji, and Tonga.

Kava is traditionally prepared by placing ground root and stem into a porous sack, submerging in water, and squeezing the juice into a large, carved, wooden bowl. Coconut half-shell cups are dipped and filled — punch bowl style. After drinking a cup or two a feeling of heightened attention combined with relaxation begins to come on. Although it is soothing, it is unlike alcohol in that thoughts remain clear. The flavor is largely inoffensive, but some find that it takes getting used to; it really depends on your preference for earthy flavors.

[Kava is Safe to Use]

The safe and effective benefits of kava to relieve symptoms of anxiety were also supported in a meta-analysis, a systematic statistical review of seven human clinical trials published in 2000 in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, and again in a similar critical review in 2001. The reviews did not find significant adverse effects related to liver toxicity.

In conclusion, the liver is affected by many substances, including prescription and non- prescription drugs, as well as alcohol, which is a major cause of liver damage. We must be aware that herbs are potent medicines, to be treated with the appropriate respect regarding potential interactions and toxicity, including to the liver. On the other hand, Kava kava’s margin of safety far surpasses that of it’s pharmaceutical equivalent.

[Function]

Kava’s can help offset a number of problems, most notably stress, anxiety, and disrupted sleep patterns. However, kava’s anxiolytic (anti-panic or anti-anxiety agent) and calming properties can offset many other stress and anxiety related ailments.

Hi I’m Robin Nielsen – welcome to the PCOS Kitchen.

This week we’re making some yummy PCOS-friendly Eggs Benedict because breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And to keep our hormones balanced, we need to have a healthy protein, fat and carbohydrate at every meal.

Eggs are a terrific food. And poaching the eggs is a great way to cook them because the yolk remains intact, not allowing oxidation to occur.

Eggs (the yolks in particular) contain the highest amount of lecithin or phosphatidylcholine, of any food. Lecithin helps us to metabolize our fats, helps to protect against fatty liver disease and plays an important role in brain formation, sleep, memory and learning. It might also help with weight loss as it breaks down fat into smaller molecules.

The egg yolk is full of other nutrients like vitamins A, D, E, K, carotenoids, lutein, zeaxanthin, calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, thiamin, folate, B6, B12 and many more. The egg white is mostly protein with very few nutrients.

What makes eggs benedict so tricky is the sauce. But mine is easy and delicious, and you’ll be surprised at what I put the eggs on!

Robin’s Eggs Benedict

Ingredients:

2 – 3 cage free, organic eggs
2 tbls Raw apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup Mayonnaise (Hain or Avocado Oil)
Juice of half a lemon
1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
Handful of raw spinach
Smoked salmon or canadian bacon (1 piece)
Capers

Directions:
Fill a wide pan with about 4 inches of water. Add apple cider vinegar and bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat and add the eggs one at at time (if the water is simmering or boiling when you add the eggs, the whites will break into many pieces – so make sure the water isn’t boiling). Make sure the eggs are covered with water – you can take a spoon and spoon the hot water over the yolks if they are not completely covered.

While the eggs are cooking make the Hollandaise sauce. In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and dijon mustard. Using a small whisk, blend it up into a rich sauce. Taste it to see if you like it. Adjust as needed so you love it. Then fill a shallow bowl with a handful of spinach. On top of that put a warmed piece of Canadian bacon or smoked salmon. When the eggs are done how you like them (about 4 minutes for runny – more like 6 minutes for hard yolks), lift them out gently with a slotted spoon or spatula and place them on your salmon or bacon. Drizzle some of your Hollandaise sauce and top with a few capers.

Your whole day will be happy when you begin it with this breakfast! And you may even want it for dinner, which is just fine. Whatever meal you make it for, it will nourish you.

Your to-do this week? Make Eggs Benedict, the hormone-balancing way.

Wishing you the happiest of holidays.
