🌍 Happy Earth Day, Friends! 🌱
Today, we celebrate this beautiful planet we call home—and reflect on the simple, powerful choices we can make to honor both the Earth and our gut health 🌿
Here are a few of my favorite Earth- and gut-loving practices you can start today:

🌱 Choose Local, Organic & Regenerative Foods
What’s good for the soil is good for your microbiome! Organic and regeneratively grown foods reduce harmful pesticide exposure—protecting your gut microbes and supporting a more diverse, resilient gut. And by supporting local organic farmers, you're nourishing your body with nutrient-dense foods and strengthening your community.

🥗 Eat More Plant Diversity A diverse diet = a diverse microbiome, which is key for vibrant health. Aim for 25–30+ different plant foods each week to feed your gut bugs and promote balance. Try adding 1–3 new fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, or grains weekly to expand your diversity naturally!

🚰 Ditch Plastic When You Can
This one’s big! Single-use plastics harm our oceans and leach toxins that can disrupt hormones and damage the gut lining. Switch to glass, stainless steel, or bamboo whenever possible. Store leftovers in glass containers and cut back on plastic baggies—small shifts add up!

Let’s keep planting seeds of wellness—for ourselves, our communities, and our world. 💚🌏

With gratitude for this Earth and the miracles it provides,
xo,
Julie

💨 Beat the Bloat Naturally! My Top 5 Go-To Strategies 💨

Bloating can be SO uncomfortable—not to mention frustrating for so many I work with in my practice!

If you're like me, you want natural solutions that actually work.

Here Are My Top 5 Favorite Ways to Support Digestion and Reduce Bloating:

🌿 1. Digestive Enzymes & Bitters – Sometimes, your gut just needs a little extra help! Digestive enzymes support the breakdown of food, while bitters stimulate stomach acid and bile flow—both essential for smooth digestion. Taking them before meals (especially during times of stress) can make a huge difference!

💧 2. Hydration & Electrolytes – Dehydration or imbalanced electrolytes can cause your body to hold onto water, making bloating worse. Drinking enough water, adding a pinch of sea salt, or sipping on organic, unsweetened coconut water can help flush out excess water retention and improve digestion.

🦠 3. Probiotics & Gut-Loving Foods – A balanced gut microbiome = less bloating! Fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir work wonders for many, but if you’re sensitive to histamines, they may not be the best choice. A high-quality probiotic—especially one that supports gut motility, like Megasporebiotic—can help keep digestion moving smoothly.

🧘‍♂️ 4. Deep Breathing & Nervous System Support – Your gut and nervous system are closely connected! Stress and shallow breathing can slow digestion and contribute to bloating. Simple deep breathing exercises (like diaphragmatic breathing or box breathing) before meals can activate your parasympathetic nervous system, improving digestion and reducing bloating.

🩺 5. TEST, Don’t Guess! – Chronic bloating could be a sign of deeper gut imbalances like SIBO, dysbiosis, or leaky gut. It can also stem from thyroid dysfunction or hormone imbalances. Functional testing can uncover the root cause so you can take targeted action! If you missed my last blog post on the essential annual tests (with free Handout!) for optimal health, check it out https://jbsnourishwell.com/essential-lab-tests-for-optimal-gut-health/

✨ Bonus Tip: Gentle movement like walking or yoga can work wonders for digestion and help move trapped gas along!

Who is giddy with joy with all the lovely fresh local organic produce right now in Florida?? What a great season! 💃

I hope you are taking the time to seek out and support our amazing local farmers AND properly cleaning those gems! 😉

"So what IS the best way to clean my greens and fresh produce?" 🌶🍆🥒🍎

This is one of the TOP questions I get from clients!

After years of experimenting with pre-made washes (yuck), DIY solutions (meh), and pre-washed produce wrapped in plastic (no thanks!), I finally found a game-changer for keeping my produce clean and safe—without the hassle!

✨ Meet My Favorite Gadget: The AquaPure! ✨

For the past two years, this small but mighty tool has been a staple in my kitchen—tucked in my top drawer and used every single week after my farmers market runs.

🚫 Say goodbye to harmful residues! Even organic produce can still carry:
✅ Pesticides & Herbicides (yes, even organic!)
✅ Bacteria, Parasites & Toxins
✅ Dirt & Contaminants from Handling & Transport

Now, washing produce is SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE, and (dare I say) FUN! 🎶 I turn up the music and make it a little weekly ritual.

💦 If you’re looking for a better way to clean your produce, I HIGHLY recommend the AquaPure!

👉 Check it out here: https://aquapure.co?ta_aff=NCKJIDIWG5

Here is a more detailed write up on the AquaPure from Julie's Favorite Friday Finds!

🎉 4 Simple Tips to Keep your Gut Healthy and Happy This Holiday Season! 🎉

The holidays are in full swing, and with them come big meals, tasty treats, and (let’s be honest) a little extra stress.

Here are 4 tips to protect your health, support your gut, and keep your energy revved up — so you can actually enjoy the joy of the season!

🌟 1. The 8/10 Rule for Holiday Eats: Before you commit to that holiday dish or dessert, pause after the first bite and rank it from 1 to 10. If it’s an 8 or higher, savor it mindfully (in moderation, of course). If it’s a 7 or less, ask yourself, "Is there something better?" If it’s a 4 or less, it’s a HARD PASS — don't look back! Your taste buds deserve only the best this season.

🌿 2. Support Your Digestion Like a Pro: Holiday foods and speedy eating them aren’t always kind to our digestive systems:). Enzymes to the rescue! A good basic digestive enzyme like DigestGold may do...but If you’re sensitive to FODMAPs, try FODMATE. If you’re worried about hidden gluten, Wheat Rescue has your back. Check out the Fullscript for more digestive support options. Your belly will thank you!

⏰ 3. Intermittent Fasting (IF) Done Right: The holidays can be a great time to give your gut a little break. Try eating in an 8-10 hour eating window with a 14-16 hour fast overnight. For a deeper reset, a 24-48 hour fast (water, herbal tea, and bone broth) can do wonders. But be mindful! Too much restriction can backfire, so listen to your body. Balance is key.

💪 4. Stress Less with Magnesium Support: Holiday stress is real — and it depletes magnesium, which can lead to poor sleep, muscle cramps, and fatigue (aka "joy killers"). Not all magnesium is created equal. Avoid oxide or citrate if you are not constipated and need support - opt for Magnesium Glycinate or blends like BioOptimizers Magnesium. It’s a simple way to stay calm, relaxed, and fully charged this season.

Friends, be mindful to care of your gut, your mind, and your energy this holiday season...yet, enjoy the season and explore new foods and opportunities....don't be too strict either! Find the healthy balance right for you in your current "season"!

Wishing you a joy-filled season with a peaceful gut and good health! ✨ xo Julie
