👩🏼‍⚕️ PATIENT SUCCESS STORY! ❤️

👉 This patient was referred to me by his doctor 3 months ago for help with blood sugar and weight management.

📍 He arrived with 2 medical diagnoses- diabetes and obesity.

📅 As of this week (A TOTAL OF 3 MONTHS LATER) he no longer meets the diagnostic criteria for either one. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

📸 The first image is a snapshot of my patient sending me his lab results as soon as they arrived this morning. He wanted to share his success with his supportive guide in this process. His words, “We got there doc!”

🥰🥰🥰 Not going to lie, this girl still sheds happy tears every single time these messages come through.

Infinitely grateful for shared wins and living a purposeful life. ❤️

At Begin Again Nutrition we would be delighted to help you too! HTTPS://BeginAgainNutrition.com

🍲 Welcome to soups and stew season, where you might be making more foods that include roots and/or thickeners.

🍠 Arrowroot is one of those roots, similar to a sweet potato, yam, or cassava, that can be eaten in the whole form, and by the way, it has five grams of protein per cup, so it’s much higher in protein than some of those other roots.

🤍You might also be using arrowroot as a thickener. You can use it in place of cornstarch or even flour in some cases.

💩 The thing about arrowroot is it also has benefits for improving the bulk of your stools. So if you typically have regular bouts of diarrhea, or if you suffer from IBS-D, which has the predominant effect of diarrhea, there are studies showing that consuming just two teaspoons a couple times a day with meals may reduce the symptoms of diarrhea by improving the formation of your stool.

🌅 As the days grow shorter and fall transitions into winter, many people experience changes in their mood and energy levels.

😞 This phenomenon, known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) or seasonal depression, is a type of depression that typically occurs during the colder, darker months. SAD can affect mental health, productivity, and overall well-being.

☀️🚶‍♂️Physical activity has been shown to boost mood and alleviate depression symptoms. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate exercise several days a week. Activities like walking, yoga, and cycling can be particularly beneficial. Outdoor exercise, when possible, provides the added benefit of exposure to natural light.

🗓️ Let’s normalize scheduling a walk or an sunlight break in our busy calendars

😴 Our Circadian Rhythms have a huge impact on our physical and mental health. The better we get synchronized with our internal clock, the better our physical and mental health will be.
👌Here’s a few tips to sync up with your natural rhythms:
1. Keep a consistent schedule. Try to eat, sleep, go to bed, wake up, etc at roughly the same time each day.
2. Don’t eat during the first hour after rising. The digestive system will be ready to process food about an hour after you rise. Stick with water, unsweetened tea, or black coffee if you need something right away.
3. Enforce wakefulness by getting 30 minutes of daylight during the day, and avoid blue light 2 hours before bed.

🌿 SAGE! There are many benefits to consuming sage INCLUDING menopause and perimenopause support!

😋 Sage can safely be consumed in foods and teas, or you could decide to use sage extract as part of your menopause support regimen.

👩🏼‍⚕️ Clinical research shows that 280 mg daily for for 4 weeks reduces overall symptoms of menopause by 39% when compared to placebo! 🤯 PMID: 33615001

💚 As a dietitian, I always recommend foods first, because foods have multiple benefits including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and more.

💥 Did you know your gut is basically your body’s mood headquarters? 🧠✨ Yeah, your tummy and brain are in a constant chat—and when they’re in sync, you feel GREAT! But when your gut’s unhappy? Hello, brain fog, anxiety, and mood swings. 😖

Welcome to the Gut-Brain Connection! 🌱

Let’s break it down: Your gut is like a secret lab producing key feel-good neurotransmitters—serotonin, dopamine, and GABA—that regulate your mood, stress, and even focus. So if your gut’s off balance (hello, bloating, indigestion, or even stress!), your brain feels it. 😬

Here are some foods to focus on to support your Gut-Brain Axis:

🥑 Gut-Friendly Foods to Keep You Happy & Healthy:
Fermented Foods: Like kimchi, sauerkraut, and yogurt. These probiotic-packed treats feed your gut’s good bacteria and help boost your mood. 🥒

High-Fiber Foods: Think fruits, veggies, oats, and whole grains. Fiber = gut bacteria food. More fiber = better brain function and mood. 🍇🥕

B Vitamins: Found in many foods including leafy greens and whole grains. B vitamins help with neurotransmitter production (yep, those mood-boosting chemicals!). 🥚🌾

Magnesium: Found in dark chocolate, nuts, seeds, and leafy greens. Magnesium helps with stress reduction and keeping calm under pressure. 🍫🥜

✨ At Begin Again Nutrition, we go beyond calorie counting. We look at the whole picture to give your body, mind, and gut the support they need.

🍁 What does corporate wellness look like?

Corporate wellness can be as simple or as comprehensive as your team needs.

The example her is an in-person interactive session for your team, whether that’s a one-time 60-minute presentation on a specific topic (such as mindful eating, stress management, or nutrition for busy professionals) or a series of workshops designed to build healthy habits over time.

Each session ends with time for Q&A and discussion, so employees can ask questions, share experiences, and walk away with real, practical strategies they can use right away.

If your team is remote or spread across locations, the same sessions can be hosted virtually, using polls, breakout rooms, and digital handouts to keep things engaging and interactive.

Beyond presentations, corporate wellness can also include:
* Wellness challenges (I.e. “hydration week” with strategies for getting & staying hydrated and the “WHY”)
* Office wellness days featuring short movement or mindfulness break
* 1:1 mini consultations for employees who want more personalized support

Ultimately, corporate wellness is about meeting your team where they are and helping them make small, meaningful changes that improve how they feel and perform every day.
