"MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY. AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU ARE YOUR LONGEST COMMITMENT."

Restoring metabolism should always be our #1 goal.

Restoring metabolism should always be our #1 goal. If you’re just starting your journey to wellness, this is a great place to start. Health and healing is not always about what you eat- lifestyle plays a huge factor. How, when, and how often you eat also play a huge part.

Side note: if you’re dealing with a super trashed metabolism (low temps, cold hands and feet on the regular, chronic fatigue, PMS, low libido) hold off on weight training until morning temps are back up.

That lemon water/celery juice/master cleanse might

That lemon water/celery juice/master cleanse might seem like a good idea, but it isn’t going to burn fat, detoxify the body, kickstart digestion, heal your autoimmune disease, or clear your skin. You’ll probably just be really hungry and have a headache 🤷🏼‍♀️

Detoxification happens when the body is supported and nourished properly, and this is based on the totality of our diet and lifestyle, not some magical food/drink.

Focus on:

✨ adequate sunlight
✨ quality sleep
✨ carbohydrate consumption- especially fruits
✨ protein (ideally from animals foods)
✨ saturated fats
✨ H20 + minerals
✨ movement

Limit: (not ELIMINATE)

✨ screen time
✨ inflammatory oils/fats
✨ consuming too many RAW greens
✨ processed foods
✨ stressing about food
✨ excessive amounts of PUFAs

My schooling taught me that pretty much everyone n

My schooling taught me that pretty much everyone needs to be supplementing vitamin D. My research has taught me otherwise.
Here are a few reasons we may want to rethink vitamin D supplementation
* it decreases magnesium levels in the body. This is something we want to avoid because most people are already so low in magnesium, and it is required for over 400 processes in the body.

* It has been found to cause potassium wasting and calcification of tissue.

* It may be a factor in kidney stone development

* It suppresses retinol which is actually needed for vitamin D receptor activation, as well as overall thyroid health, immune health, and the ability to regulate iron

* A study published in the Aug. 27 issue of JAMA found that adults who took large amounts of vitamin D daily with lower bone density

Low levels of vitamin D does not mean we have a vitamin D supplement deficiency. Generally what this means is we are dealing with inflammation, gut issues, and low levels of magnesium.
Causes of low vitamin D:
* Not enough sunlight/not allowing your bare skin (without sunscreen) to see any sun
* Gut dysbiosis
* Magnesium deficiency
* Vegan/vegetarian diet
* Cholesterol medication
* High levels of glyphosate

**As always, this is not medical advice, always talk with your health practitioner before discontinuing any medication/supplementation**

The body requires energy. Every single cell your

The body requires energy. Every single cell your body is made up of runs optimally on sugar (glucose). Our blood levels of glucose need to remain stable to continue a steady stream of energy to the cells. Our cells uptake sugar from the bloodstream, and sugar is then put back into the bloodstream from what we are ingesting or from our liver/muscle storage.

Here’s the thing... if that sugar is not provided, the body will have to utilize STRESS hormones to make it.

We want blood sugar control and blood sugar balance... and our body has this incredible way of telling us when we need to fuel up on glucose.

It’s called HUNGER.

So our cells need a little somthin’ somethin’, and our body lets us know through these hunger cues... we of course feel hungry, maybe we get a little tired, maybe a little hangry, and naturally we respond to these cues by having something to eat- ideally a meal or snack containing a carb, fat, and protein.

So what happens when we say “nah, I’ll just have this piece of gum” or “I’ll have a BLACK COFFEE (🤦🏼‍♀️) instead.”

Our stress hormones come to the “rescue”, and when we continue to follow this path of starvation, we end up with chronically high stress.

So how do we fix this? Eat. Eat when you wake up, eat every 2-3 hours, have a bedtime snack, and balance each meal and snack with carbs, fat, and protein.

Can you remember a time when you weren’t preoccu

Can you remember a time when you weren’t preoccupied with diet, weight loss, and cravings?

Oh the freedom....

But here’s what happened; diet culture spun us up in it’s web of lies..

Pharmaceutical companies led us to believe that our bodies couldn’t heal without them.

Modern day agriculture depleted our soil.

Toxins and endocrine disrupters started running wild through our everyday lives, increasing our toxic load.

Stress.

Overall we have been moving further and further away from our physiological design.

We’ve been told that if we eat less and exercise more we’ll look and feel our best.

Diet after diet, detox after detox, we have restricted calories and damaged our metabolism.

Lost connection with food. Lost trust in our bodies.

Eliminated foods because someone told us they were causing the problem.

I’m here to help you rewind.

To help you see food as nourishment again.

To teach you how to feed your body with nutrient dense foods you love, in a sustainable way that does not require a diet with an end date.

By learning how to nourish and support your metabolism properly, you can support every single process of the body; digestion, detoxification, hormone production, fertility, and so much more.

Just a reminder that your road to wellness is about more than just what you eat.

Add in more laughter, grounding, sunlight, fresh air, deep sleep, movement, deep breathing, sweating

Decrease stress, the news, toxic products, toxic people, blue light, chemicals, negative self talk, and that “I’m so busy” mentality.
