🦠Unresolved chronic inflammation is one of the causes of weight loss resistance and hormone chaos (and many diseases).⁣
⁣
Inflammation is perceived by your body as a form of stress. And stress is a big enemy of balanced hormones.⁣
⁣
As a result, it can impair ovulation and therefore progesterone production, it also decreases the efficiency of what you produced! And prevents detoxing estrogen from your body. ⁣
⁣
All of this leads to estrogen dominance ( PMS, weight gain, moodiness, anxiety, heavy periods, decreased fertility, etc.)⁣
⁣
So what can you do? ⁣
🧘🏻‍♀️ Decrease your stress! This is a big one!⁣
🥦 Eat whole foods blood-sugar balancing diet, each meal consisting of healthy fat, fibre and protein ⁣
🏃‍♀️Move for your body, not against it⁣
😴 Work on quality and quantity of sleep⁣
🧴 Eliminate toxin exposures⁣
🦠 Do a gut health audit, test for underlying infection, imbalances and immune function.⁣
⁣
Have you heard about this connection between inflammation and weight loss resistance?⁣

🤩Happiness is not by chance, it’s by choice. Your mind is SO powerful. 🤩⁣
⁣
When you start to own your thoughts, you can redirect yourself into a positive inner voice. ⁣
⁣
You can decide every day to recalibrate your energy and commit to love and joy.⁣
⁣
And when you fill your mind with positivity, your life will start to change. Very quickly, and positively - if you let it.⁣
⁣
So be bold enough to dream, and brave enough to TRY. 🌻⁣

⭐Consistency is more important than perfection.⁣
⁣
I was chatting with my client the other day who finally adopted this mindset. Before we met, she was living an inflammatory lifestyle for fifty years leading her to a spiral of hormonal imbalances.⁣
⁣
It would be an unsustainable torture for her if she had to change her lifestyle radically from one day to another.⁣
⁣
Instead, I wanted her to implement small changes into her lifestyle and be consistent with following them.⁣
⁣
Her nutrition and lifestyle habits weren’t perfect from day one but because she was consistent in making small changes, she feels like a new person.⁣
⁣
⭐So this is a reminder to all of you with the all-or-nothing mindset. You don’t need to be perfect, just start now, be consistent and you will achieve your goals.⭐⁣

⭐Yesterday I gave you one simple tip for better hormones, mood, sleep and energy⭐⁣
⁣
🥗Protein+Fat+Fibre in every meal.🥗⁣
⁣
Let’s have a look at some examples:⁣
⁣
Protein is metabolically supportive, can help regulate the hormones that control hunger and fullness, and helps control blood sugar. Some examples are organic meat such as chicken, turkey⁣
⁣
Healthy fats are actually essential to your hormone health. We need fat and cholesterol to make hormones in the first place. Having fat as part of your balanced meal will help stabilize your blood sugar. Some good options are olive oil, avocado, nut butters, coconut oil, grass-fed butter and ghee. ⁣
⁣
Lastly, carbs/fibre. Not all carbs are bad for you fact, whole food carbs like sweet potato, pumpkin, veggies and fruit can all be super nourishing for your hormone health and your gut health thanks to their fiber content. It’s the refined simple carbohydrates such as refined sugar, white rice, bread, pastries - that cause problems when eaten in excess or without sufficient protein and fat to prevent spikes and dips in blood sugar.⁣
⁣
When building your meals, make it a priority to have one of each element on your plate, always. Stable blood sugar helps keep our brain healthy, our energy levels stable and our mood balanced. ⁣
⁣
🥬Does your plate consist of this trifecta?🥬⁣

💚One simple tip you can implement today for better hormones, mood, sleep and energy💚⁣
⁣
Sometimes small steps can help us improve many aspects of our health⁣
⁣
When my clients decide to work with me, it’s a huge step towards getting their health back. Overwhelming them with million changes they need to do can lead to the opposite result.⁣
⁣
🥬This is the exact meal formula I use with each of my clients to help increase energy, balance their hormones, sleep better, have a more stable mood, and maintain a healthy weight! And it’s so easy to adopt immediately!🥬⁣
⁣
Make sure that each of your meals contains:⁣
⠀⁣
𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙞𝙣⁣
+⁣
𝙁𝙖𝙩⁣
+⁣
𝙁𝙞𝙗𝙚𝙧/𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙗𝙨⁣
⠀⁣
The combination of protein, fat, and fibre will help maintain stable blood sugar, keep you full, fuel your brain and body, and support gut and hormone health.⁣
⠀⁣
Now that you have the formula, you may be wondering what foods fall under each of the category.⁣
⁣
🥬Let’s chat about it tomorrow!🥬⁣

⭐The majority of times, I talk about what it looks like and how women feel when their hormones are out of whack.⭐⁣
⁣
But how are we designed to feel? ⁣
⁣
It’s not normal to have heavy, painful periods, low energy, constant bloating, mood swings, weight gain, acne, hair loss… It’s common, not normal.⁣
⁣
A woman who has hormones in check feel like a queen. Not every day but the majority of days.⁣
⁣
🤩This woman has:🤩⁣
-consistent, high energy⁣
-stable weight (maintain her weight easily)⁣
-a clear mind and good memory⁣
-stable moods (the majority of times)⁣
-regular easy periods⁣
-healthy digestion, regular bowel movement⁣
- clear skin⁣
-healthy s*x drive⁣
⁣
You can have it too, you are in charge of your health! If you are interested in learning more, Dm me and let’s chat!⁣

⭐Everything in your body is connected!⭐⁣
⁣
When we take this perspective of holistic health instead of treating one symptom at a time, we get to the real root causes and are able to achieve WAY better results. ⁣
⁣
You can’t treat the thyroid without looking at gut health, you can’t treat s*x hormone imbalance without looking at adrenal health, can’t treat gut health without looking at thyroid and adrenal health, etc. ⁣
⁣
Go get yourself a practitioner that addresses your health as a whole instead of treating one symptom at a time.✌🏼⁣

⭐🥬Starting my day with a green smoothie🥬⭐⁣
⁣
I like to add protein powders into my smoothies and baking for adding flavor and protein (obviously:))⁣
⁣
But not every protein powder checks the great taste and functionality boxes.⁣
⁣
The Raw Organic All-in-one shake is the best protein powder on the market.⁣
⁣
It’s full of veggies, fruits, digestive enzymes, probiotics. It’s sweet but naturally sweetened (no stevia) and it’s delicious. ⁣
⁣
My favorite flavors are lightly sweetened and vanilla.⁣
⁣
💚Do you use protein powder?💚⁣

A REMINDER that stress=stress. Emotional, physical, metabolic all result in the same end product- release of stress hormones, chronically and inappropriately.⁣
⁣
As you can see, there are several ways the stress response (or HPA axis) is stimulated. Unfortunately with modern life we are exposed to many, many triggers. ⁣
⁣
When looking at mood issues, anxiety, hormonal imbalance, etc. getting to the bottom of what is over stimulating your stress response is key! ⁣
