💚 Gut Health 101 💚

Your gut is home to trillions of bacteria, both good and bad, collectively known as the gut microbiota. 🦠 Maintaining a balanced and diverse gut microbiome is vital for digestion, immunity, mental health, and more! Studies show that a healthy gut can boost your mood, enhance nutrient absorption, and even help manage weight. 🌈

🧠 Gut-Brain Connection 🧠

Your gut and brain are in constant communication through the gut-brain axis. 📞 This connection influences mood, stress levels, and cognitive function. A happy gut equals a happier, more focused YOU! 😊

🍏 Nurturing Your Gut 🍏

Want to know how to support your gut health? Start with a wholesome diet filled with fibre-rich fruits and veggies, probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, and prebiotic goodies like mushrooms, garlic and onions! 🥗 Exercise regularly, manage stress through meditation or yoga, and get some good sleep in for a well-rested gut. 🏋️‍♀️😴

🌟 The Gut-Health Lifestyle 🌟

Our bodies are incredibly wise and are truly always giving us feedback, if we are aware and willing to hear and feel it! Like everything, it can take time to heal your gut and find what works for you, but it’s so worth exploring and navigating through it all as you will not only experience improved digestion and immune function, but you'll also radiate positivity and feel more energised throughout the day! And that is worth A LOT! ✨

🌟💪 WHY STRENGTH TRAINING IS AN ABSOLUTE GAME-CHANGER FOR WOMEN 💪🌟

There are LOTS of things we do in the GUTZY studio every week, but one thing is for sure, there will always be STRENGTH TRAINING 💪

Why? Because one thing I know FOR SURE is STRENGTH TRAINING provides immense benefits for every stage and phase a Women's incredible body goes through.

Nothing delights me more than seeing my beautiful clients gain strength and be in awe of what their own bodies are capable of! 💪💥 But even more than that, here are all the other benefits of strength training and what goes on for their bodies as a result of their training:

🦴 Preserving bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures, and enhancing overall bone health.

🔥 Metabolism is revved up by building lean muscle mass, increasing the body's calorie-burning potential even when resting.

💃 True witness of their own progress, incrementally lifting heavier weights and conquering new challenges perhaps never thought possible.

🛡️ Strengthened muscles around the joints, providing better support and protection and freedom to move with ease

🌈 Immense feeling of empowerment! The release of endorphins positively impacts and supports the mental and emotional load

❤️ A healthier heart! Blood circulation is improved, blood pressure is lowered, and risk of heart-related issues is reduced.

Age doesn’t have to define what you can achieve!

Embracing the changes life brings and empowering yourself with the incredible benefits of strength training is something you won’t stop once you start!

So if you’ve been thinking about starting or returning back from a break of training, come join the . It’s fun, challenging and supportive

Rather than seeing setbacks as failures, we can choose to embrace them as opportunities for growth, resilience, and self-discovery.

💪 I know the importance and benefits of physical movement

🙏 I know the importance and benefits of finding gratitude in the smallest things

🌤 I know the importance and benefits of keeping a positive disposition and always seeking out the learning opportunities and silver lining from situations

Most of us know these things... but we are human

This lockdown challenged me a lot as I know it did many others... physically, mentally & emotionally.

The energy around it all has been heavy and I believe a lot of us have felt that collectively.

It’s such a challenge to do the things we intrinsically know are going to actually serve us despite not wanting or feeling like doing them.

Sometimes it’s about just sitting in that space for some time, without judgement, and just acknowledge and treat yourself with self care and compassion that you need... and then sometimes it’s about making that choice to move and take action, because to create a change, something has to change

I am so grateful for what I do because I get constantly reminded about how good it feels to move, how good the energy can be from being amongst other wonderful people, and how good it feels when I practice the self care that is right for me - even when I think I don’t want to do any of it.

Small daily consistent actions not only help build momentum but also creates so many wonderful positive reference points to draw on and keep moving you forward, particularly on the days it feels like it’s the last thing you want to do.

Moving your body is undeniably one of the quickest and most effective ways to shift your mind...but it requires your mind to make that choice to move your body ✨

Find something you like/love and keep doing it. You’re not always going to like the before, or even sometimes the during, but most definitely you’ll always LOVE the after 🙌

Thank you to my who continue to support, inspire and motivate me to share all that I love in this space! 🙏💪✨

✨We are really quite incredible…I mean that genuinely

I know we don’t often believe it, and get caught up in the busyness of life and being on automatic that we don’t stop to create a greater awareness around it, but truly, we are ALL incredible

Once we become more in tune with or bodies we get to know ourselves better. We learn what it can withstand, and what it can’t.

Here are some techniques that may help you feel, hear, and then honour what its needs.

🧘🏻Take a Breather

Deep diaphragmatic breathing reduces the stress associated with the “fight or flight” response. Taking a few moments in the day to focus on your breath can make a significant difference and enhance your mind-body connection.

🙆♀️Stretch it Out

When we are tense our body manifests that tension, whether with a clenched jaw, tight shoulders, or balled fists. Taking the opportunity throughout the day to stretch is another excellent way to reconnect with the sensations in your body.

💦 Hydrate

Staying hydrated by drinking enough water is a simple, but vital component of optimal physical, emotional, and mental health.

Studies show that even mild dehydration can have a significant impact on our mood, energy, and even ability to think clearly.

🌳 Break Out

Taking a break and stepping away from your work or focused activity provides an opportunity to get in touch and connect with the present moment and sensations in your body.

💃 Move to the Beat

Dancing and singing, whether we think we’re good at it or not, is an instant mood booster and another way to reconnect with the sensations in the body.

The root word for emotion in Latin, emovere, means “to move through”, and movement helps us to let our emotions move through us and out of us.

👃 Engage your Senses

When we’re “in our heads” we often lose sight of how powerful our physical senses can be. Taking the time to engage your sense of smell, taste, touch, and hearing is another great way to bring attention back to the body.

Lots of Gutzy Love
Stefanie 💕
