Protein is an essential nutrient that is made up of amino acids.

Without enough of these amino acids, your body can’t perform vital functions like:

-Hormone production
-Building and protecting muscles and bones
-Controlling appetite


But this is only a few of the hundreds of ways protein helps your body function normally.

The longer we are deficient in protein, symptoms and health issues start to pop up.



In this week’s YouTube video, I not only give you five very important reasons to eat enough protein everyday…

I also give you the best foods that contain protein and how to determine the amount that’s right for you.


What is your favorite way to get protein?

Please like and share the video. 🙏

This time of year a lot of us are going on vacation. 🏝️

And It’s normal to put your healthy habits on hold for that time.


But what happens when you return home, is more important than your habits away from home.

The habits that we practice the majority of the time are what make up our lifestyle.



So how do we make it easier to get back on track after a vacation?

In this week’s Facebook live, I discussed how I get back to my healthy habits once I get home.

Ever wonder why diets don’t work long-term for most people?

No matter how hard we may work to stay on them, because they’re one-size-fits-all, they are hard to stick with.


But if you can take a personalized approach to your health, you are much more likely to stick with it for the rest of your life.

After years of yo-yo dieting, I finally came to this conclusion myself.



Though I may use different aspects of different diets and plans that I’ve been on, I personalize my diet to fit me.

And since 2017, I’ve been able to stick with my personalized plan.


In this week’s YouTube video, I discuss the steps to help you figure out the best way to eat for you.

Personalized nutrition is a way of eating that considers an individual’s unique characteristics and health goals.

It goes beyond general nutrition guidelines, which are a one-size-fits-all approach.


Personalizing your nutrition plan to you is based on your:

- Medical history
- Biological responses to food
- Age
- S*x
- Metabolism
- Specific needs
- Lifestyle



This approach is great if you want to optimize your health and feel your best.

In this week’s YouTube video, I share four tips for discovering the foods that work best for you so that you can create your own personalized nutrition plan.

Want to start building healthy habits that stick?

Taking action on them is 95% mental and 5% physical.


If you can get over your mental blocks, you are almost there.

But if you can get out of your head and just take action…

You will realize that whatever was holding you back is not as bad as you think.



And when you do start those healthy habits, remember to focus on the things that are in your control and don’t stress over the things that are out of your control.

This is just one of the tips I gave in this week’s Facebook live.

Your body naturally produces the GLP-1 hormone…

But it can be affected by a number of factors, including:

-Sleep deprivation
-Having type 2 diabetes
-Fasting


And this may be why your doctor puts you on a GLP-1 medication.

It can help lower blood sugar.



However it has some downsides such as muscle loss, weakened bones, vitamin deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues

So, if you must be on them, there are some steps you can take to prevents some of these side effects.


In this week’s YouTube video, I give you three tips to help you stay healthy while taking GLP-1 medications.

GLP-1 medications mimic the effects of the hormone glucagon-like peptide 1.

This is a hormone we make naturally by the small intestines to regulate blood sugar and control appetite.


However, it can be affected by our diet.

If we fail to get enough fiber, healthy fats and protein, it can start to affect the release of the hormone.



This is when doctors may recommend taking GLP-1 drugs to help make up for it.

And it may help with weight loss, but there are some other side effects that you want to avoid if at all possible like muscle loss, vitamin deficiencies, gastroperesis, and weak bones.


In this week’s YouTube video I discuss three lifestyle habits that will help you combat these serious side effects.

Healthy habits don’t have to be complicated or take a lot of time.

In fact, Once you have a healthy daily routine down, you will find that it takes less time than your old habits.


When I was working on creating my health routine after my diabetes diagnosis, I realized that it took less time to cook and prep healthy meals at home than it did to seek out junk food.

I also found that I didn’t have to do nearly as much cardio exercise to get healthy once I was eating healthy food.


Sometimes the habits we know we should be doing seem overwhelming…

But if you just start with one simple healthy habit at a time, it can make getting healthy more achievable.



In this week’s YouTube video, I explain how these five simple habits make a big difference in your health.

Leading a healthy life doesn’t have to be complicated or take up a lot of time.

In fact, some of the simplest ways to get healthy may take less time than what you’re currently doing.


Back when I was working on a healthier daily routine, I realized this.

Some of my habits, such as going to the gym, eating out, and snacking throughout the day, were actually taking up more time than I thought.



Once I streamlined my routine and focused on simple habits like cooking at home and taking time to sit down to eat, I found that I was less stressed and actually had more time in my day for other things.

In this week’s Youtube video, I share five simple daily habits that I follow for better health.

I know I am always talking about the habits to do to improve your health…

But did you know that there are habits that you could be doing regularly that are keeping you from getting healthy?


I talk with people everyday that are doing these very habits and have no idea how harmful they are.

Things like heating food in plastic containers, using toxic cleaning products and buying food products with unhealthy oils👉cause health issues over time.



The problem with these habits are that your body has no idea how to process these toxins, so it treats them as a foreign invader to keep you safe.

And as we continue to do them, we begin to get chronic inflammation, symptoms and chronic illness.


Some blame these issues on getting older, but the truth is that we can avoid many of the health problems we develop by simply lowering our toxic load.

Chronic symptoms are indicators of a condition or disease.

Many are ignored or managed with medication.


But if you really want to get rid of symptoms…

You must find the root of the problem and take steps to treat it.



And many symptoms and health conditions can be solved easily.

Making lifestyle adjustments like adding in a food that has the nutrient you’re lacking, taking out a food that is giving you symptoms, getting good sleep on a consistent basis, or getting some sunlight everyday, may be all you need to solve your problem.


But how do know what to do or where to start?

Sometimes you can figure it out on your own…

And sometimes you need support.


That’s where I come in…

Hi!👋 My name is Jennifer Dunn and I’m a holistic nutritionist with 18 years of experience. I can help you get to the root of your health conditions so you can have the health you’ve always wanted.

We have all had symptoms that we’ve had to deal with at one time or another.

Some are short-term like an infection, and some are long-term such as chronic pain.


Some symptoms may cause us to see our doctor to get relief.

But have you ever asked yourself the reason why you may be having symptoms?


All symptoms have a root cause for why they started.

And discovering the root cause can help you get long-term relief as well as even find a cure.



In this week’s YouTube video, I compare treating symptoms and addressing root causes.

This video is for you if you want to finally address the root of your symptoms instead of managing them.

What habits do you do to stay energized and feeling good in the summer months? 🌞

One of my favorites is staying hydrated…

And I don’t just mean drinking lots of water.💦


Did you know that to be truly hydrated you need water and minerals?

Without minerals your cells can’t get hydration.


Minerals are electrolytes that help maintain healthy fluid balance and pH levels in the body.

Having imbalances in electrolytes can lead to dehydration just as quickly as water loss.


The four minerals that you need daily are sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium.

And the best sources of minerals are sea salt, fruits, vegetables, eggs, seafood and red meat. 🌊🧂

When you hydrate with water and minerals, you will feel energized and feeling good all summer long.
