It’s citrus season!!! Do you know what that mean

It’s citrus season!!! Do you know what that means? You should be having at least 1 serving of citrus a day. It’s the genius of Gods creations. 🙏🏼🌱🦚Let me explain... scurvy used to take the lives of millions. It was a horrible disease that was rampant until... they discovered it was 100% preventable with citrus. 😱 This horrible disease was irradiated once people began having enough citrus. Now days have you even heard of scurvy? So let’s not let scurvy make a comeback. Eat your oranges, lemons, grapefruit, and limes! 👏🏼 .

Crohn's Disease (and Ulcerative Colitis) is a kill

Crohn's Disease (and Ulcerative Colitis) is a killer on your wallet!
I should know because I lived it for several years. With all the doctors, MRIs, colonoscopies, ultrasounds, bloodwork, other tests, and medications, the costs easily totaled up to tens of thousands of dollars. And that was with really good insurance, so my out of pocket expense was relatively low. I can't imagine what it would have been like without that kind of insurance.
Thankfully, I was able to find out how to heal my disease without all these exorbitant costs, and now, for the past couple years, my medical costs relating to Crohn's Disease (and otherwise) have been virtually ZERO!
For Crohn's and other similar diseases, there is hope of easing the financial burden and feeling well again! And it comes through the right kind of diet. (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18067689)

The best gift we can give our kids is health. 👼

The best gift we can give our kids is health. 👼🏼 I talk a lot about nutrition and that’s incredibly important for children- but what is just as important is mental/ emotional health. For the first 3 years of life children require a secure attachment to their mother. That means having their needs met, feeling safe, feeling close, and being validated. This is important because a lack of these things increases cortisol production in young children which can lead to health problems, prolonged crying, depression, anxiety, and severe phobias. Beyond that it can impact many other facets of newborn/ toddler life. Because of this nurturing a healthy bond with children is vital! So how can we do this?
1️⃣ Breastfeed as long as possible! The WHO recommendation is until age 3. But you go as long as you are able. This helps to build a very intimate bond that cant be replicated by bottle feeding. But if you can’t breastfeed don’t stress, you can make up for it in other areas. 😘
2️⃣ Hold your young one as often as you can. Give them physical touch all day everyday. No such thing as too much.
3️⃣ This is controversial- but I plead with you to NEVER “cry it out” with your young one. This causes so many long term problems.The studies are bleak- so teach them proper sleep skills but do not let them cry for prolonged periods.
4️⃣ Spend quality time with them every single day. Exploring, playing, reading, imagining, etc.
These things matter! It will make the world of a difference in their immediate and long term wellbeing.

Here is your daily reminder that some of the stron

Here is your daily reminder that some of the strongest animals on the planet eat only plants! They best part is that they also don't worry about getting enough protein.
The fact is that protein (that your body can assimilate) is found in abundance in all kinds of plant foods. Just like these animals, if you eat enough food, you'll probably be ok when it comes to protein.
There's also evidence to suggest that some of the strongest men on the planet ate mostly plants (see the gladiators via Game Changers documentary). #eatmoreplants #protein #plantbasedprotein #plantbased #health #animals #elephant #gorilla #horse #food #nutrition #nutritionist #healthcoach

Did you know that approximately 3.1 million Americans are affected by IBD?
IBD is a group of diseases that affect the digestive tract, specifically the small and large intestines.
Many symptoms include:
- Diarrhea
- Bleeding ulcers
- Bloody stool
- Stomach pain
- Cramping
- Bloating
- Weight loss
- Anemia

Let me tell you from experience, it's awful!
Many people believe that IBD is due to genetics. However, even if someone has a predisposition to an IBD through their genes, lifestyle factors are what actually trigger the disease.
And guess what one of the number one factors is in determining gene expression? Diet!
And guess what can reverse the symptoms of IBD?
You guessed it! A plant based diet!

The other day I saw a post where someone complaine

The other day I saw a post where someone complained about having a junk food hang over.
I thought about it for a minute and remembered many times when I had experienced exactly what the person was talking about. We all know that junk food is bad for us, so why are we so surprised when it makes us feel like junk?
Personally, I believe that these kinds of processed and packaged foods have become so prevalent in our society that we often forget what the word "junk food" actually means.
Junk food has little to no nutritional value. Most of it is just empty calories that can have a serious impact on our health.

We all know it's bad for us, so there's no sense in shaming people for eating it. But, one of the best things that we can do to limit the amount of junk food we eat is to practice mindful eating.
This is something that I talk about and teach you how to do in my FREE course. Head over to the link in my bio to sign up and learn how to improve your eating habits through mindfulness!
