My answer: HECK YES!!!!!!

🌱“Just” changing your diet changes EVERYTHING!

🌱Our s*x hormones are created from the fats we eat.

❌Inflammatory fats/ processed foods = Inflammation throughout our body

❌Inflammation causes:
•painful periods
•painful joints
•general discomfort
•heartburn
•constipation
•diarrhea
•bloating
•chronic illness
•anxiety
•swelling.the list can go on and on.

🌱Removing those foods and replacing them with WHOLE foods in their most natural form gives our body the chance to breathe and take a rest from constantly battling the toxins we throw at it every day. Every cell is made up of the fats we eat. Do you want your cells to look like the inside of a grease trap? (I vote no)

🌱This “rest and relaxation” phase our body is going through when we ‘just change our diet’ shows up as:
•painless periods
•a clear mind
•pooping daily without effort
•glowing skin
•better moods
•reduced stress levels
•pain free joints.and so much more that we don’t even realize can be changed ‘just through diet!!’

Our bodies are meant to thrive— not make us miserable on a daily basis. We just need to help them out and give them what they need! ☀️🌿💛

Please, please, PLEASE stop giving your kids (or yourself) artificial dyes!

Some kids have these at every meal!
•hyperactivity
•thyroid tumors (before it causes tumors it attacks the thyroid, which will cause weight gain, fatigue, puffiness etc)
•chromosomal damage— this is damage at a CELLULAR level. That is bad news, guys! (Autoimmune disease, rare diseases, cancer.. the list could go on and on here.)

Think about it.
🤯

When a food has artificial colors, is it really a food that you need to survive anyways?
Is it a food that your body needs to perform a function? Does it help you reach optimal health? Sure, it’s delicious— it’s formulated to hit every single one of your taste buds and make your brain go crazy for it!

…but is it worth it???

When the anxiety hits, it seems all too easy to grab these comfort foods or drinks.

Removing these for even a short time, or at least cutting back quite a bit can not only help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, but also a host of other inflammation related issues!

Try removing one thing at a time instead of overwhelming yourself- and don’t forget to ADD in all the things that HELP anxiety and inflammation!

Suggestions include:
•healthy fats (olive oil, salmon, avocado, flax seeds)
•sunlight for at least 30m per day
•gentle movement (yoga, a brisk walk, weight lifting)
•grass fed, pasture raised or wild caught protein!
•lots of colorful veggies and berries!

Gut health is where it’s at! It’s the answer to all the things!

I’d love to help you! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

New research suggests that supporting our gut microbiome may help prevent (and even treat?) autoimmune disease. Read on to learn how.

Run, don’t walk, to make these nutrient filled chicken tenders!

Holy shnikees were they good, and I love the added “detox” boost that the Brazil nuts give by helping our livers to produce glutathione- on top of nourishing our thyroid in the process! Win!

Do you have a garlic slicer? It’s so versatile, I use it to make “breadcrumbs” out of nuts more than I use it for garlic!

Toxins clog up bodily systems causing them to not function properly.

Symptoms are always a direct source to see what’s happening within your body. Do you notice your body telling you things?

Supporting natural detox is a great habit to get into, and there are so many ways you can accomplish it!

My favorite ways to detox are by using castor oil packs, sweating, eating a nutrient dense diet focused on foods that support my liver & hormones and also by using supplements tailored to fit my body’s needs.

Toxicity can come from:

•Environment: Teflon, plastic, scented candles & plug-ins, mold, paint, shower curtains
•Lifestyle: perfume, chemical ridden skin care & hair products, scented lotions
•Food: antibiotic filled meat, pesticides, flavors, chemicals, processed & shelf stable foods, colors, sugar, fillers etc.

And👏🏼so👏🏼much👏🏼more👏🏼

Making small changes can turn into healthy habits that eventually make a huge difference within your body.

How are you reducing your toxic load today?
