I am grateful for a puppy who gets me outside, even if we’re having a snow storm ⛄️ ⠀
⠀
If it weren’t for him, I would be sitting in front of the space heater all day, every day during the winter months, attached to my computer 👩‍💻 He forces me to take potty breaks (for both of us) and get out, away from work and into nature!⠀
⠀
I may be cold🥶 . It may be snowing ❄️ But I am still thankful for this little dude 💕

Did you know that fact👆??⠀
⠀
Our gut health is so important for our mental health 😯!! Another reason why I’ve taken a DEEP dive into studying everything there is to know about the gut (and there’s a lot)!! ⠀
⠀
Most people think serotonin (you know, that chemical that makes us feel happy) is produced in our brains! But the majority of it is produced in our gut 😳 ! ⠀
⠀
And as I always say, if you’re gut is not happy, you’re not happy 😔 . ⠀
⠀
There are many factors that go into an unhappy (and unhealthy) gut. It could be toxicity. It could be from bacterial or fungal overgrowth. It could be from a food 🥛 sensitivity. It could be from leaky gut! Honestly, I could go on and on (you get the picture that it’s complex, right)?⠀
⠀
And there is way too much info to put in a little IG post. But if you could do one thing, I would ask you to pay attention to how food makes you feel 🤔. ⠀
⠀
It is not “normal” to have gas or bloat all day or be constipated. That is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. So listen 👂 to it! ⠀
⠀
Eat a meal slowly (not on the run or in the car) and really draw your attention to your body. Do you get those very obvious gut symptoms that tell you something is not agreeing with you? Do you get tired? Do you get brain fog? ⠀
⠀
If you do, make note of what you ate and then see how you feel after the next meal. Many times you can piece together a sensitivity causing inflammation if you find a common food item in the meals making you feel like crap! Maybe it’s dairy. Perhaps gluten 🍝 . Could be tomatoes. ⠀
⠀
Whatever it is, take it out and then see how you feel. Better, right 😉 ? You have eliminated one thing that was throwing off your gut health. Try reintroducing it after 3-6 months and pay attention again to how you feel! ⠀
⠀
This may seem like a long and tedious process exhausted 😩 but it’s something that YOU can do (without the help of a doctor like me and testing) that can impact not only the health of your gut but your anxiety or depression as well.

What do you do when you get hungry🤷🏻‍♀️?⠀
⠀
Do you want to know what I used to do (not in the so distant past)🤔?
⠀
I would open one of the cabinets right behind me and get a bag of chips! Don’t worry🥺! They would be kinda sorta healthy (my favorites were @sietefoods chips with guacamole or salsa)!⠀
⠀
Well, if you saw some of my recent IG stories and read my interview in @chlorophyllwater you know I love hard boiled eggs as a snack (today they were my lunch)! And pair it with a healthy fat (avocado) ...BOOM! Healthy snack that will keep me satisfied for hours! And y’all also know (if you watch my IG stories) that my recent testing showed that I am sensitive to cassava so no more Siete chips for me until June 😔 But, really, it’s no big deal! ⠀
Instead of dwelling on what I CAN’T have, I am basking in what my body loves and what I can have! It’s about the mindset.⠀
And, believe me, if you feel as awful as I was feeling at the end of 2019, you feed your body what it loves and avoid those things that are causing inflammation. ⠀
⠀
Stay tuned to my IG stories this week as I give you a daily #healthtip to get you on your way to a healthier kitchen too!

Let’s talk about the fungus among us!⠀
⠀
No really! It’s a very serious issue! Yeast and fungus in your gut! While it’s normal to have some, an overgrowth can cause some major health problems like brain fog, sugar cravings, acne, allergies, bloat/gas, and fatigue (to name a few)!⠀
⠀
So many people have this problem but don’t even know it’s a thing! But I want to empower you to think outside the box and consider it if you are having the above symptoms and have a higher sugar/processed diet, drink an excess amount of alcohol, have taken antibiotics or take other medication such as birth control pills, acid blockers, NDAIDS (like Ibuprofen) or diabetic drugs.⠀
⠀
So how do you start taking action if you think you have a yeast overgrowth in your gut? If you work with me, you get tested😉 and then we implement treatment! But if you don’t (or haven’t yet), then there are a few simple things that you can do today to address the problem.⠀
⠀
💊 Stop any of the above medications if they are NOT necessary (please don’t go off of your diabetic meds without talking to your doctor first)⠀
⠀
🥤Cut down (or cut out) added sugars and processed foods⠀
⠀
🏃🏻‍♀️ Exercise! Studies show that exercise increase the diversity of the bugs in our gut! This is a good thing!⠀
⠀
