Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds found in many plant-based foods. For some people, they can cause digestive issues like bloating, gas, or even kidney stones. If youโ€™re dealing with symptoms like these, it could be due to oxalate sensitivity.

๐Ÿ’š Balance Your Diet: Include lower-oxalate foods like cucumbers, cauliflower, and zucchini, while reducing high-oxalate foods such as spinach, Swiss chard, rhubarb, sweet potatoes, almonds, and soy products like tofu.
๐Ÿ’š Soak and Cook Foods: Soaking and cooking high-oxalate foods can reduce oxalate levels and make them easier on the gut.
๐Ÿ’š Increase Calcium Intake: Calcium binds to oxalates and helps prevent their absorption, so include calcium-rich foods like leafy greens, tofu, and dairy.
๐Ÿ’š Support Gut Health: Probiotics and digestive enzymes can help break down oxalates in the gut, promoting better digestion and absorption.

Managing oxalate sensitivity involves understanding what triggers symptoms and making simple dietary adjustments. If you suspect oxalate sensitivity or want to learn more about how itโ€™s affecting your health, book a testing and consultation today!

Feeling puffy, bloated, or like your rings donโ€™t fit some days? Itโ€™s easy to blame salt intake, but the truth is water retention is often driven by hormonal imbalances, not just diet.

๐Ÿšจ Signs your bloating might be hormonal include swelling in hands, feet, or face, fluctuating weight (even within a day), puffy eyes or face in the morning, and feeling "heavy" or sluggish despite no dietary changes.

So, ready to get to the bottom of whatโ€™s really going on?

If youโ€™re constantly dealing with unexplained bloating and water retention, itโ€™s time to look beyond just sodium intake. Your hormones might be at play. Book a consultation to get to the root of your symptoms!

Ghee, a type of clarified butter, has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for its incredible health benefits. It's packed with healthy fats like MCTs, which support metabolism and brain function, and is also rich in butyrate, a fatty acid that helps repair and protect the gut lining. This makes it perfect for anyone looking to support digestive health.

Since ghee is free of lactose and casein, itโ€™s an excellent choice for those with dairy sensitivities. It also helps reduce inflammation throughout the body with its antioxidants, benefiting conditions like arthritis and IBS.

With its high smoke point, ghee is ideal for cooking at high heat without breaking down, making it perfect for sautรฉing, frying, or even adding to your morning coffee or tea.

Did you know that many common household products contain harmful chemicals like phthalates, parabens, and VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which can disrupt hormone balance, trigger allergies, and even impact your gut health. ๐Ÿคฏ

Hereโ€™s how to get the ultimate spring clean and detox your space to support your well-being:

โœ… Toss toxic cleaners โ€“ Replace harsh chemical cleaners with natural alternatives like baking soda, vinegar, and essential oils.
โœ… Switch to non-toxic candles โ€“ Many candles contain paraffin and synthetic fragrances. Opt for beeswax or soy candles with essential oils.
โœ… Ditch the air fresheners โ€“ Replace them with diffusers using pure essential oils, which not only smell amazing but also support your bodyโ€™s natural detox process.
โœ… Upgrade your cookware โ€“ Avoid non-stick pans that release harmful chemicals. Opt for cast iron, stainless steel, or ceramic instead.
โœ… Check your personal care products โ€“ Swap out products with fragrances, parabens, or sulfates for cleaner, natural options.

Detoxing your environment helps create a space that promotes optimal health and reduces the stress of hidden toxins.

Yes - it's a thing! As daylight increases, so does your serotonin production, boosting mood, motivation, and energy. More sunlight also helps regulate melatonin, improving sleep quality and reducing sluggishness from winter months.

Spring also signals a natural cortisol reset, helping you feel more alert in the morning and less fatigued during the day. But if you're feeling more anxious or wired, your body might be adjusting to the shift!

Bloating, sluggish digestion, or low energy? Your gut needs a spring reset!

Winter diets tend to be heavier in starches and comfort foods, which can slow digestion and alter gut bacteria. Spring greens are rich in prebiotics, fiber, and bitter compounds that stimulate digestion, feed beneficial gut bacteria, and improve detox pathways.

๐Ÿฅฌ Dandelion greens โ€“ Contain bitter compounds that stimulate bile production for better digestion and liver support.
๐ŸŒฑ Arugula โ€“ A natural prebiotic that feeds your gut microbiome and helps reduce inflammation.
๐Ÿฅ’ Asparagus โ€“ Contains inulin, a fiber that feeds beneficial bacteria and supports regularity.
๐Ÿฅฆ Broccoli sprouts โ€“ High in sulforaphane, a compound that helps reduce gut inflammation and support detoxification.

Remember: your gut LOVES variety! ๐ŸŒฑ Which of these are you adding to your meals this spring?

That coffee on an empty stomach? It triggers a cortisol spike that forces your already-tired adrenal glands to work even harder.

Scrolling through social media first thing? That blue light and stress-inducing content hits your adrenals before they've even had a chance to wake up naturally.

Skipping breakfast or grabbing a quick carb-heavy meal creates blood sugar rollercoasters that keep your adrenals in constant crisis mode throughout the day.

The bottom line is: Nourishing your adrenals starts with stabilizing your blood sugar!

๐Ÿ‘‰ Begin your day with protein and healthy fats (think eggs with avocado, not cereal)
๐Ÿ‘‰ Include mineral-rich foods like sea salt and leafy greens
๐Ÿ‘‰ Consider adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha that help your body manage stress
๐Ÿ‘‰ Eat balanced meals with protein, fat and fiber every 3-4 hours
๐Ÿ‘‰ Replace your morning scroll with a moment of mindfulness or gentle stretching

Small changes to your morning routine can create big shifts in your energy and resilience throughout the entire day.

This is a healthy No-Bake Greek Yogurt Fruit Tart is made with a gluten-free 3-ingredient crust, protein-packed Greek yogurt, and plenty of fresh fruit. ๐Ÿ“

Ingredients
15 pitted Medjool dates (about 230g), soaked in warm water for 10 minutes*
3/4 cup (100g) unsalted cashews*
3/4 cup (100g) unsalted almonds
1 cup (250g) Greek yogurt (plain or any flavor)
assorted sliced fresh fruit

Instructions
Spray the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan, 9-inch cake pan, or 9-inch pie dish with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper. (I usually just cut a parchment paper circle slightly larger than the pan.) The parchment prevents the crust from sticking to the pan, and the nonstick spray helps keep the parchment in place as you press in the crust.
Soak the dates in warm water for 10 minutes. Drain them, and then cut in half before using.
In a food processor or blender, pulse the dates, cashews, and almonds together until a thick โ€œdoughโ€ is formed and the nuts are all broken up, as pictured above. The dough will be sticky. Press evenly into prepared tart pan and partly up the sides.
Spread the yogurt on top of the crust. Decorate with fresh fruit. Mix together the optional preserves and water topping, and brush over fruit for a glossy finish.
Slice and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day before serving. Cover and store leftover tart in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Your liver is responsible for breaking down and eliminating excess estrogen, cortisol, and other hormones. However, if it's overloaded with toxins from plastics (BPA), pesticides, processed foods, and artificial fragrances, it struggles to keep up. This can lead to hormone imbalances like estrogen dominance, which shows up as:

โš ๏ธ Bloating and water retention
โš ๏ธ Breast tenderness
โš ๏ธ Mood swings or anxiety
โš ๏ธ Stubborn weight (especially around the hips and thighs)

Support natural hormone detox this spring by:

๐ŸŒฟ Eating cruciferous veggies (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower) โ€“ These contain indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which supports estrogen metabolism in the liver.
๐ŸŒฟ Drinking lemon water first thing in the morning โ€“ This helps stimulate bile production for proper detox.
๐ŸŒฟ Ditching endocrine disruptors โ€“ Swap out plastic water bottles, avoid synthetic fragrances, and choose non-toxic cleaning products.
๐ŸŒฟ Trying an Epsom salt bath โ€“ Magnesium sulfate in Epsom salts supports liver detox and calms the nervous system.

If your symptoms persist despite lifestyle changes, it might be time for functional hormone testing. Want to know if hormone detox support is right for you? Book a consultation with us!

Iodine deficiency is becoming more common, and one major culprit is the decline in iodized salt consumption.

Iodine is essential for proper thyroid function, which regulates metabolism, energy production, and overall hormonal balance. Without enough iodine, the thyroid can become underactive, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and even depression.

As we move away from processed foods that often contain iodized salt, many people may not be getting enough of this crucial mineral in their diet. Without iodine, the thyroid cannot produce enough hormones, which can affect everything from energy levels to fertility.

To prevent iodine deficiency, consider adding natural sources like seaweed (nori, kelp, or wakame) or using iodized salt in moderation. You can also explore iodine-rich foods such as dairy, eggs, and fish.

If you're concerned about your iodine levels, book a consultation to discuss testing and personalized nutrition recommendations!

While plant-based foods are healthy, they can lack crucial nutrients like vitamin B12, iron, omega-3s, and calcium. These deficiencies can cause serious issues like fatigue, weakened immunity, and even bone problems that you might not even notice right away.

If youโ€™re not careful with a vegan diet, you could end up with a vitamin B12 deficiency, which can affect your energy levels and brain function. Or, a lack of omega-3s and iron can lead to inflammation, heart problems, and even anemia.

Adding supplements like B12, omega-3 (algae oil), iron, vitamin D, can fill in the gaps.

Need help making sure your body is supported while eating a vegan diet? Book a consultation today!
