How big is your glass?

When was the last time you measured how much your drinking glass holds?

Sure, if you use a reusable cup or mug that is labelled with its volume, you likely know!

But what about the glass you use when you don’t use a water bottle?

If tracking water intake is something you are working on right now, go measure your cup!

The popular ‘8 glasses a day’ is based on a 8 oz. or 250 mL standard

So if your glass is smaller, or likely bigger than that, you may be under or overestimating how much water you are taking in.

If you are working on this metric (as I am), go get a measuring cup and find out where your metric truly is!

Fuel Your Brain with Fiber!

New research reveals a surprising link between dietary fiber and mental health. Here's what you need to know:

• High-fiber diets may reduce anxiety and depression
• Whole plant foods are key - supplements alone won't cut it
• Traditional diets rich in fruits, veggies, and whole grains show promising results

The secret? It's all about the gut-brain connection. Fiber feeds beneficial bacteria, potentially boosting your mood and cognitive function.

Ready to nourish your mind? Start by adding more fiber-rich whole foods to your plate today!

Pictured: approx. 8g fiber (1 date + 1 Tbsp mixed nut and seed butter + a few chopped walnuts + melted dark chocolate with coconut oil!)

To my colleagues and Health Care Professionals!

I'm thrilled to announce that I have a submission at the Authority Summit from September 22-26!

My presentation focuses on new research that should help us leverage clinical time to explore social media's impact on youth mental health - an increasingly important topic for healthcare professionals.

This summit represents an incredible opportunity for our naturopathic and integrative medicine community to come together and showcase our collective expertise. By participating and sharing events like this, we're not just highlighting individual contributions - we're demonstrating the strength, credibility, and innovative spirit that defines our profession.

The presentation is designed for healthcare professionals and colleagues who are looking for snippets of Authority on a variety of topics in practices from mental health, to hormones, to GI and more!

I encourage my fellow practitioners to join us for what promises to be an enlightening and professionally enriching event.

We all know exercise is good for us - heart, mood, sleep, the list goes on. But knowing and doing are two different things, right?

We say we'll start tomorrow, maybe we do start, then we fall off. The cycle repeats. Sound familiar?

Here's what I want you to know: You are NOT a failure. Exercise is a habit that takes time, discipline, and the right support system to build.

If you're ready to break the cycle with real goals and planning, let's talk!
I'll be cheering you on until exercise becomes a natural part of your life.

ONE WEEK until "For the Love of Fiber!"

Let me share a little fiber love to get you pumped for what we'll dive into next Tuesday...

DID YOU KNOW? Most of us are only getting about HALF the fiber we need daily!

Does that blow your mind?
I wish this blew my mind, but it is something I see all too commonly in practice!

Which is why I delivering this FREE webinar next week!

We will cover:

🌱 The basics of fiber
🌱 What it can benefit beyond constipation
🌱 and what you can expect to feel by eating enough!

But here's the thing - not all fiber is created equal, and HOW you increase it matters just as much as how MUCH you get. That's exactly what you'll get in the free handout after the presentation!

🗓️ September 2nd at 7:15pm AST
