Are you arming your body with the defense shield it needs to stay healthy? 💪

Fun fact ✨ I did my master’s thesis on phytonutrients, which means I read up on, conducted studies on, and talked a lot about antioxidants back in the day. ✨🩷

Antioxidants are non-nutritive compounds [AKA provide no nourishment/calories] produced by plants that neutralize free radicals (things that cause inflammation in the body).

Their function is to protect the plants, but when you ingest them, they protect YOU! 💪

Free radicals are those nasty, unstable molecules that are just looking to damage your cells.

Having high levels of circulating antioxidants can help keep free radicals under control and reduce the risk of certain diseases, decrease inflammation, & positively impacting your gut microbiome!

Take away the damaging force of free radicals by consuming a bounty of colorful plants.

Each color 🌈 represents a different family of antioxidants, that is why there is the old saying, “EAT THE RAINBOW.”

Aim to fill your grocery cart with colorful produce & aim to make your plate as colorful as possible.

RED: lycopene 🍅
ORANGE: beta carotene 🥕
YELLOW: flavonoids, Vit C
GREEN: folate, lutein 🥗
BLUE/INDIGO: anthocyanins🍆

Let me be clear when I say that there is absolutely a time and a place for a low FODMAP diet. There is a lot of research backing up how effective a low FODMAP diet can be for people struggling with IBS.

BUT there is also a lot of research to show the negatives for being on a low FODMAP diet for an extended period of time and what it does to our good gut bacteria (decreases it).

At LexStart Nutrition we might use this elimination style diet as a tool, but we are also looking at the bigger picture to WHY you are having digestive issues in the first place. Many times if we fix the root, the symptoms resolve and we can successfully add back most, if not all high FODMAP foods.

Are you ready to uncover your root issue?

Protein is needed for cell & tissue structure, muscle mass, energy, blood sugar regulation, hormone and metabolic support, & satiety.

The literature even shows us that dietary protein can also strongly impacts our intestinal microbiota composition (aka gut health). It is said that protein can count towards 20% of the microbial variation.

BUT understanding your specific protein quantity is important, as too much protein can have negative effects on the large intestine.

Aiming to include both animal and plant protein in your diet will further increase your good gut bacteria and help build up your gut lining!

Who likes to save money? 🙋🏼‍♀️

If you have been around here for a while you have probably caught on that I am a slightly crunchy frugal mom who likes to save on groceries for my family. And if you are new here…Hi 👋 My name is Emily and I am a slightly crunchy frugal mom who likes to save on groceries for my family. ☺️

So here are 5 tips that we walk our clients through (and practice ourselves) every day here at LexStart Nutrition when it comes to meal planning on a budget.

But here is the deal, if trying to make all 5️⃣ of these changes at once seems too hard or overwhelming…just pick 1️⃣! Get good at that 1️⃣ and then move on to number 2️⃣.

The more we plan, the more we can insure we are incorporating diversity into our diet on a weekly basis. Especially those fruits 🍎 🍓🥝 & veggies 🥕 🥬🍠. And this will help improve your gut microbiome!

Tell me your secrets to meal planning on a budget below ⬇️

Happy Father’s Day to one of the best! He protects us, loves us, and keeps us fed. He learned early on that the three of us girls are all the same when it comes to food. And that is, we are not pleasant if we are hangry! 😂 Thank you for being you and for loving us all so well ❤️

First, let me say that there could be MANY reasons you might be feeling bloated, and while I am always team “let’s get to the root cause” I also know that lifestyle and meal hygiene is not something to look over.

If you are feeling anxious about how attending a cookout might affect your bloating then let me challenge you to at least practice these 4️⃣ steps!

Even if there is something greater going on leading to your bloating, putting these strategies into action can help alleviate or improve your symptoms. 👍🏼

If you are ready to:
✨ Finally find out why you feel bloated all the time
✨ Are sick of guessing what you should or shouldn’t eat
✨ Want a detailed roadmap on what nutrition, lifestyle, and supplements work for your specific body
✨ And so much more…

Reach out to us today! We not only help get you to the root problem to help you feel better, but will provide you with practical and sustainable lifestyle tips to accompany our nutrition recommendations, all while encouraging you on to ADD as many foods to your diet as possible!

As you can see there are a lot of different forms of magnesium!

Each specific form has a unique function in how it may influence our overall health. It can range to mental health, gut health, neurological health, heart health, and blood sugar health!

Knowing your symptoms and learning about which form may benefit you is key! Low magnesium intake has been associated with several chronic diseases & studies show that about 80% of us fall short in meeting our daily needs of magnesium! Butttttt just throwing a random supplement into your daily routine without knowing how it may benefit you…well…that might not be beneficial at all!

✨Example: adding magnesium citrate to help improve your stress or sleep probably is not going to be as beneficial && you might notice an increase in your bathroom habits 💩VS adding in magnesium malate to help with constipation is probably not going to provide as much relief as magnesium citrate or oxide would!

So what should you do?

✅ Aim to be intentional with increasing foods higher in magnesium (see previous post)
✅ Listen to your body to assess what symptoms you might be dealing with
✅ Use this post as a cheat sheet in discovering which form of magnesium might be best for you
✅ Reach out to us so we can help provide you with individual guidance and recommendations!

Have you been told that you might need more magnesium?

Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for health and well-being. And it is crucial for our gut.❤️

Take a look at some of these foods high in magnesium listed above and start to increase them into your meals and snacks each day. 🥑🫘🥔🍫

If you feel like you have a hard time eating any of these foods, you might benefit from taking a magnesium supplement. 💊

But it can be confusing. There are so many forms of magnesium. Where do you even start?

I’ve got you covered! Stay tuned for more information to come, including my favorite magnesium supplements!

If you are ready for some 1:1 nutrition support to learn more about things like this because you are tired of guessing all on your own then send us a DM or check out www.lexstartnutrition.com 😊

How I Can Help You!

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist my goal at LexStart Nutrition, LLC is to help you get well and find relief with whatever symptoms or conditions that are holding you back from enjoying your life to the fullest! In my practice I utilize conventional and functional approaches to help find the root cause of your symptoms or conditions. I focus on gut health and supporting your gut with one food at at time.

My philosophy involves educating and helping you learn how to treat real, whole food as part of your every day eating patterns. I believe in working with you as an individual towards realistic goals that will be sustainable for you and your lifestyle, no matter where you are at on your journey. I do not believe that one diet works for everyone, as we are all unique individuals who all have very different needs. And that is beautiful!

Specialties include digestive health, autoimmune diseases, healthy weight management, and prevention and management of chronic diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
