| Two Minute Health Buzz Every Friday you’ll receive a Two Minute Health Buzz video, offering inspiration and clarity with a dash of common sense.Last week I discussed the often overlooked condition of low stomach acids and its implication. Low stomach acid may be a symptom of a larger issue – this is where we really need to be a nutritional detective to try to put all the pieces together.What if you had an autoimmune condition that attacked the parietal cells in your stomach. These cells are responsible for producing stomach acid and other important compounds. If you have low B12, and you currently have an autoimmune condition, you are more at risk for getting another autoimmune condition. This is worth getting checked out…. Watch the video: 
Here is one of the recipes that Chef Lynne Vea created for the Clean & Lean Revolution new guest chef cooking class series that starts in August! 
Makes about 1-1/2 cups pesto 1 cup basil leaves (save the stems) 1 cup spinach or arugula leaves 1/4-1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 3 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan or chevre cheese (optional) 1/4 cup toasted hazelnuts 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds and/or sunflower seeds Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste INSTRUCTIONS Place the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and blend until coarsely chopped (sort of the consistency of fine pickle relish). If the mixture is a little dry, add a bit more olive oil. Note: Use this recipe as a base and custom design it to your own taste. Try using chard or beet greens instead of spinach. Add flax seed or chia seed. Try almonds or pistachios instead of hazelnuts. You get the idea!
