If your looking to change up the way you eat, it can be easy with an 80/20 or 90/10 rule. 80 or 90% of the time you eat healthy. 10 or 20% of the time you eat whatever you want. The important thing to remember though is when you do decide to indulge, you have to be diligent about getting back on track!
I know an awesome health coach if this is something you like to try 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

If there is ONE food that I am beyond snobby about when buying, it's chicken. I recommend only purchasing organic, free-range chicken. Yes, it's a bit more expensive, but the quality is noticeable.

Chicken that is not organic is fed GMO feed that is loaded with arsenic and antibiotics, they are injected with hormones to increase their size, and they are kept indoors all of their short lives, never seeing sunlight and packed into the coops with thousands of other chickens that are sick and look like this chicken in the picture below.

This is a horribly sad and short life these poor animals are put through, and I refuse to support an industry that thinks it's ok to treat any living being this way!

There is a very strong connection between the gut and the brain. In order for them to communicate properly we should and must feed our guts healthy, nutritious foods.

If you think you're not a "human experiment" or a "lab rat" in America, think again!!

Our governing bodies/FDA put things (I would say ingredients, but they're not) in our foods that are highly processed, highly addictive and are killing us from the inside out.

🌽🍓🍏Other countries have banned GMO's

🐄🐷🐑Hormones and antibiotics are not used on cattle to increase size or production

🔴🟡🔵 Food colorings are completely omitted

🍩🍪🍭 In Quebec (Canada), Sweden and Norway advertising to children under the age of 12 is illegal. In the UK, Greece, Denmark and Belgium advertising to children is forbidden!!

Why are we still consuming all of this crap?!?! Because it's cheap and super easy to get! But it's causing an obesity epidemic, especially in our children, insane diabetes diagnoses, heart health complications, gut illnesses that are interfering with our quality of everyday living, depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses 😠😡🤬

I really wish our country cared about our health, well-being, and happiness as much as others did. That's why it is critical to understand what it is that you're eating and feeding your kiddos!

I'm offering free Health Histories and have room for 4 new clients this summer. Reach out if I can help you get back to healthy!!

Gut health is all the rage right now! We have begun to realize and understand just how important our guts/intestines/bowels/small & large intestines are to our overall health.

🧠 Our brains and our guts interact constantly to maintain healthy homeostasis.

🍎70-80% of our immune systems is contained within our guts!

🥕Hormone regulation happens in our guts.

🍅Digestion and proper nutrient/vitamin absorption all happens in our guts.

If our bowels are in poor health the communication between our brain and gut are not working as it should. This leads to hormone disregulation, little-to-no absorption of the essential vitamins/minerals/nutrients that our bodies require to function properly, and we fall victim to autoimmune diseases, mental illness, allergies and eczema, etc, etc, etc.

Also, if you have a healthy gut, you'll shed some pounds naturally 🙂

I'm a poor gut health survivor and I'm here to help!

This is for all my ladies!!

🦴By the age of 25-30 our bodies stop producing/building bone. This puts us at an increased risk for fractures of all types, but mainly hip fractures.

🦴50% (1 in 4) of women are diagnosed with Osteopenia or Osteoporosis by the age of 65. These stats are quickly changing though, and women are being diagnoses as Osteopenic at the alarming age of 30-35 😬
The reason we are being diagnosed earlier is because of our horrible gut health caused by our Standard American Diet and our lifestyles.

🦴We need to repair our gut health and boost our good bacteria to properly absorb Vitamin D and Calcium to support our bone health!!

🦴If you are lacotse sensitive or intolerant, there are many other ways to incorporate calcium into your diet, and I am more than happy to help guide you there!

I recently had a bone density scan done at The Bone Health Clinic in Lenexa, and I was elated to see that I have maintained extremly good bone health (less than a 2% chance of receiving a hip fracture). I consider myself very lucky to recieve this news because my lifestyle has not always been the healthiest.

💞💞It is NEVER too late to start making changes to preserve your bones! Trust me, you want to keep this body framework as healthy as possible!

Being female puts you at risk of developing osteoporosis and broken bones. Here are some facts: Of the estimated 10 million Americans with osteoporosis, about eight million or 80% are women. Approximately one in two women over age 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis. A woman’s risk of bre...

"Food" that comes in a box/bag is not food! It is a bunch of man made, artificially/chemically, GMO containing processed crap! The FDA is selling it to us at cheaper prices than fruits and vegetables knowing damn well that we'll opt for the cheaper and more convient product. It's almost like our govermental agencies don't care about our well being at all! These foods are destroying our guts to the point that we're suffering from many illnesses and diseases that did not exsist even 60 years ago! Makes you wonder 🤔🤔🤔

Starting a blog! I'm using my surgical backround to bring awareness to what our Standard American Diet is doing to our organs. It should be informative, fun to read, and really really gross 😁
First blog release date TBD.

One of the most common things people tell me as a health coach is, "I would eat organic, but it's so expensive." And it's true, organic is pricy. However, by eating organic, you're missing out on a huge amount of chemicals (herbicides and pesticides) that are regularly sprayed onto massively produced crops.

This is how I cut the price down on my organic veggies and fruit haul. I joined a CSA through Schenker's Family Farms! For $25/month, these local farmers drop a box off at my door every week with colorful, fresh, yummy tasting ORGANIC produce. You read that right! $25/month = weekly organic produce delivered to my door!! I also have the option to add to my CSA, Schenker's grass-fed meats, and farm fresh, pasture raised eggs.

I mean, can it get any cheaper or easier than that?! Reach out if I can help you with this process.

Shop local and support our organic farmers!

A Double Big Gulp is 64 ounces, which = 800 calories!! 🤯🤯

The recommended daily calorie intake for men is 2,500 and for women 2,000

Proof that our food industry could care less about us and our health!

Yummers! I'm digging this plant based lifestyle 🤤

(Ignore my very small side of chicken shwarma. It's a habit to put protein on my plate, and I'm not even eating it!)

Hit me up, and it'll teach you the way 😘
