Holistic Health & Nutrition Coaching with Sydney Yancey

06/28/2022

Hi everyone! I wanted to reintroduce myself as this page continues to grow – which makes me so happy!

My goal for this account is that it serves as a place of community and education for Christian women on a health journey; even if you’re not a Christian, you are welcome here!

I work to weave together scripture with God-given evidence-based wisdom on health and nutrition (yes they can coexist).

I’m a certified holistic nutritionist and health coach and currently accepting new clients! If you feel you could benefit from some individualized holistic attention regarding your health and nutrition, building habits, sustainable change or something different please feel free to message me– I’d love to hear about you!

Even if you aren’t looking for coaching, I’d love to connect and see how I can best serve you through this account by teaching on specific topics, etc.

Thanks for following along and allowing me to play a small part in your story 🙂

◠ ◠ ◠ MENTAL HEALTH ◠ ◠ ◠⁣
⁣
𝘓𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩⁣
⁣
In recent years mental health has become a popular topic.⁣
⁣
It’s become normal to discuss mental illness, counseling, and to share real, raw emotions.⁣
⁣
I count this as a win because the Bible calls us to share our burdens with one another!
(Galatians 6:2)⁣
⁣
⁣
⌓ MENTAL ILLNESS ⌓⁣
⁣
What I really want to talk about is mental illness.⁣
⁣
Sure, mental illness can be a result of a spiritual issue (i.e. lack of faith).⁣
⁣
But with today’s culture it’s also very likely a result of a physical issue.⁣
⁣
→ AKA lifestyle choices like chronic poor diet, lack of movement, toxic exposures, etc. ⁣
⁣
You can probably guess that your food choices can affect your mind, mood, and behaviors.⁣
⁣
Your mind and gut directly communicate with each other and are so interrelated that the gut is referred to as the second brain.⁣
⁣
⁣
⌓ APPLICATION ⌓⁣
⁣
So now how do we support our physical bodies through diet so that we can be mentally healthy?⁣
⁣
Here’s the simplest way:⁣
⁣
⁣🥬 INCREASE FRUIT &
⁣🥬VEGETABLE CONSUMPTION ⁣

⁣
Studies show “Increased fruit and vegetable consumption [appeared] predictive of 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭-𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨…up to 0.24 life-satisfaction points (for an increase of eight portions a day).” ⁣
⁣
What does that mean? Is that a lot? Is that a little? That’s a lot: equal in size to the psychological gain of going from unemployed to getting a job. ⁣
⁣
Eating fruits and veggies “showed improvements [in] psychological well-being with 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 [within just two weeks]” ⁣

🥳2. Do you adopt a YOLO attitude and binge, but feel guilty later? Maybe you focus on a New Year's resolution to offset the holidays.

😌3. Or do you enjoy the holidays, feel 100% in control surrounding your food choices, and stay in alignment with your goals?

Or something else?
