This time of year always brings busier schedules, especially as we head into back-to-school and the holidays. It can be challenging to keep up with healthy eating during these hectic times. Here are some tips to help you stay on track with your nutrition despite a demanding schedule:

💛Keep fix-ins readily available in your fridge to create a salad bar. Shred various veggies, such as carrots, beets, and zucchini to add to any salad or create a healthy bowl quickly. I also like to have a couple of options of chopped fruit readily available, like pineapple, which also aids in digestion, so it is a perfect post-meal sweet treat.

💛Shop pre-cut produce or salad bar fix-ins from the store if you’re short on time or find it hard to chop everything. This is also useful when cooking for one and my go-to tip if I need a few ingredients for a recipe and don’t want to buy the whole thing.

💛When you have time, make larger batches of food and freeze the leftovers. Consider using meal prep containers (my favorite are ) for freezing and baking, which are also ideal for storing bone broth.

As kids head back to school, it’s important to consider gut health since nearly the entire immune system is in the gut, and the best way to stay healthy this school season is by supporting the GUT! Here are some gut-healthy tips to incorporate into your child’s after-school routine:

✏️Gut-healthy after-school snacks: Make sure kids have nourishing options like fresh fruit or veggies and hummus, or yogurt and granola. Trail mix and popcorn are quick snack ideas they can enjoy. Popcorn is a prebiotic, which means it helps feed the good bacteria in the gut. It’s best to make your own with fresh kernels and coconut oil, or carefully check the ingredients when purchasing premade popcorn to avoid excessive salt and preservatives. Try to limit processed foods and sugar, as they can negatively impact gut health, cognitive function, behavior, and mood.

✏️Time to decompress: It’s beneficial to incorporate activities and time to unwind after school. The activities and duration may vary based on age groups, but considering that stress affects gut health, it’s important for kids to have time to relax and de-stress, especially if they have extra schoolwork in the evening.

✏️Eat together as a family: Although it may not be possible every night due to busy schedules, try to make time at least once a week to sit together without electronics. This allows everyone to connect, converse, and unwind, which is beneficial for everyone’s health.

✏️Bedtime routine: Establishing a routine to wind down can help promote restful sleep. This may involve dimming the lights and limiting screen time. Keep in mind that children require more sleep than adults; some research suggests that those aged 5-10 may need as much as 11 hours of sleep.

One of the most significant issues my clients struggle with is bloating and discomfort, especially after meals. When the gut is compromised, it can have difficulty breaking down food, leading to digestive complications that can be unpleasant and quite annoying. Here are a few of my tips to help support the gut and reduce bloating:  ✅Supplements: I love incorporating digestive enzymes, which help digest foods so they’re more easily absorbed as nutrients into the body. Enzymes decrease as we age, and stress, medications, and diet can all negatively impact them, so adding a little extra support with meals can be helpful. Check out my Amazon store via the link in my bio to shop for my favorite enzymes and other gut-healthy supplements.  ✅Bone broth: Helps soothe the GI tract and reduce inflammation. It contains several nutrients that heal the gut lining. You can sip on it throughout the day, make soups (my favorite way), or even throw it into smoothies if you use a mild chicken broth. For my veggie friends, you might consider supplementing with L-glutamine, another nutrient that helps support the gut lining.  ✅Cooked foods/soups: Blended soups are one of the best ways to ease bloating and digestive discomfort because they’re blended and cooked, so much easier for the gut to digest. Plus, I make them using bone broth, which is also healing to the gut.  ✅Avoid trigger foods: Avoid raw fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, beans, dairy, and grains until the gut is healed and the body can digest them better. While these are not necessarily “bad” foods, when the gut is compromised, it has a hard time digesting them. Also, avoid alcohol, processed foods, and sugar, as these can negatively impact the gut.

Here are a few of my favorite food-as-medicine approaches to probiotic supplements, which help populate the GI tract with beneficial bacteria:

✅Kraut: Fermented cabbage contains beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus, which helps support a healthy immune system and reduce inflammation. Make sure your kraut is refrigerated rather than canned to ensure you receive all the living organisms. You can consume it as it is or make it into slaws. One of my favorites is my Spicy Kraut Slaw, made by adding shredded cabbage, kraut, green apple, lime, cilantro, oregano, radish, and jalapeño. I love adding this to salads, burgers, tacos, and eggs. So tasty!

✅Kimchi: A Korean version of kraut. Kimchi usually consists of fermented cabbage, other veggies, and spices. It also contains various beneficial bacteria that help populate the system with good bacteria.

✅Yogurt: Yogurt can contain a healthy amount of live and active bacteria, but it ,can cause digestive issues for some. For this, you can try making your own (I have a recipe on my website), which tends to yield a higher probiotic count and can sometimes be more tolerable. Also, trying sheep’s or goat’s milk yogurt can help.

✅Kefir: Kefir is like a thin yogurt made from kefir grains. Like yogurt, you can make your own by using a starter pack, or you can use it to ferment coconut water, which is also a nice substitute for dairy. Check out my Coconut Water Kefir recipe on my website!

✅Kombucha: A fermented Chinese tea that can provide different species of probiotics in a more drinkable way. Just watch out for the added sugar; sometimes kombucha can be the new soda, so be mindful of how it’s made, making sure the brand mentions living organisms on the label and that the sugar content is moderate.

✅Miso: Made of fermented soybeans and most known for Miso soup, although you can use miso paste to make salad dressings, marinade for meats, add a little into rice, or cook veggies for added flavor.

Try adding fermented foods into your daily routine to restore and maintain a healthy microbiome🧚‍♀️

With the 4th of July approaching, here are a few tips to help you get your gut back on track after your holiday festivities.

✅Consume easy-to-digest foods: My favorites are blended soups made with bone broth because you’re getting fiber, which helps feed/promote the good bacteria. I make them with bone broth, so it naturally helps heal the gut lining and reduce inflammation. In addition to blended soups, I recommend cooked veggies, proteins, smoothies, and fresh juice, all things that will help promote good bacteria while easier to digest, reducing belly discomfort. ‼️Check out my FREE 3-Day Gut Reset (link in bio), which explains this diet in more detail and is the perfect, easy way to get the gut on track.

✅Supplements: My two go-to supplements are digestive enzymes and probiotics. Enzymes help break down foods, making them more easily absorbed, leading to less bloating and discomfort, especially after meals. Probiotics help populate the GI tract with beneficial bacteria, which is especially important if you’ve gone off your regular diet.

✅Meal prep ready: Have healthy foods available when you get home, either in the freezer or try ordering my meal prep delivery! ‼️For gut-healthy, freshly prepared meals and bone broth delivered to your doorstep, click the link in my bio to check out my menu and place your order. Use code FAIRYGUTMOTHER for 10% off and free shipping!

✅Bone broth: Broth is one of my favorite ways to help support the gut because it’s full of nutrients that help repair the gut lining and reduce inflammation. It also promotes hydration with vitamins and minerals, facilitates the body’s detoxification pathways, and supports a healthy metabolism. You can sip it as is or incorporate it into soups and recipes, such as cooking rice or veggies.

Happy 4th of July!❤️💙

Summer travel can be busy, leaving little time to tend to our gut health. Here are a few of my tips to help keep the gut on track this summer:

✅Support the gut before: Try my FREE 3-Day Gut Reset, available via the link in my bio, to get the gut on track before you leave. My gut reset is about consuming a clean diet of blended soups, smoothies, bone broth, and cooked meats and veggies to help reduce bloating and promote a healthy microbiome. This is also a great plan to help get things back on track when you get home.

✅Supplements: My two go-to supplements to bring with me on trips are probiotics and digestive enzymes. Probiotics help populate the gut with good bacteria, which will keep the gut on track. Enzymes are great for helping digest foods, which is nice for vacations and travel when you’re eating foods you don’t particularly eat.

✅Hydration: It’s easy to forget about hydration while traveling. Aim to consume half your body weight in ounces of water per day and don’t forget to add electrolytes now and then to maintain proper hydration.

✅Have gut-healthy foods available at home: My favorite thing is to have something gut-healthy available when I get home, so I often will prepare a few things from my 3-Day Gut Reset, like bone broth and blended soups, and store them in my freezer for when I am home.

👉You can also make it easy and order my gut-healthy meal prep delivered to your doorstep! You can order it so it’s available when you get home or before and throw it in your freezer so it’s already there. I also sell bone broth and blended soups, so it’s approved for a 3-day gut reset!

My FREE 3-Day Gut Reset is available for download via the link in my profile. It’s all about consuming more cooked foods, blended soups, broths, smoothies, and fresh juices, all foods that are much easier on the gut to digest, give the gut a bit of a break, support a healthy gut lining, and feed the good bacteria for a balanced microbiome. Below are a few reasons why you would consider my 3-Day Gut Reset:

✅Introduction to heal the gut: Starting with a less restrictive gut healing protocol is a great place to ease into more of a gut healing diet and lifestyle. By including gut healing, supportive foods and suggested supplements, you can ease your way into more of a gut healing diet without so many restrictions.

✅Improved digestion: My 3-Day Gut Reset is designed to reduce bloating and digestive discomfort by including easily digestible foods such as blended soups. It also aims to promote gut healing. Additionally, I make a few optional supplement recommendations that will help break down foods, making it easier for the body to absorb nutrients and reduce digestive distress.

✅Travel reset: My 3-Day Gut Reset is my go-to plan after traveling or even after the holidays because it helps get things back on track when you’re off your normal diet and routine.
Immune boost: Support your gut, where most of the immune system is located, by eating nourishing foods.

✅Gut cleanse: Sometimes, the most effective cleanse involves supporting the body’s natural gut, elimination, and detox processes.

✅Eat clean: It’s beneficial to spend time eating clean, eliminating junk, and adding more nutrient-dense, nourishing foods now and then.

We’re officially into the spring season, the perfect time to get serious about your gut health. Instead of investing in fad cleanses, supporting the gut can be the best cleanse as the gut is your body’s own natural elimination and detoxification pathway.

Here are a few ways to support your gut and support a natural cleanse:

✅My 3-Day Gut Reset: My gut reset can help rebalance your gut microbiome and promote healthy bacteria in your gut. It can also give you a break from foods causing inflammation, giving the gut a rest to reduce belly discomfort and allow time to heal. Sticking to cooked veggies, soups, broths, smoothies, and fresh juices help to restore the microbiome, support a healthy gut lining, and reduce digestive issues. Check out the link in my profile to download my FREE 3-Day Gut Reset.

✅Bone broth: A large part of my gut reset is sipping on broth and consuming more easy to digest foods like blended soups made with broth. Broth helps support a healthy gut lining but also has been said to aid in digestion as well as reduce inflammation.

✅Digestive enzymes: These help break down your foods so they’re more easily absorbed into the body, leading to less bloating and digestive discomfort.

✅Gut-friendly foods: In addition to incorporating digestive enzymes, bone broth, and new health habits, it’s important to prioritize gut-friendly foods that promote overall well-being. Start by eating whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, resistant starches like beans and potatoes (these are especially great for feeding the good bacteria in the gut), protein, and healthy fats.

👉🏻I also recommend reducing your intake of processed foods, refined sugars, and artificial ingredients, which can disrupt gut health and contribute to inflammation. You’ll also want to drink plenty of water throughout the day and manage stress through walking, meditation, and regular exercise.

Many people are unaware that the lack of fiber in their diet can be as harmful to their gut as consuming foods high in sugar and processed foods. It is recommended to consume 25 to 30 grams of fiber daily. Unfortunately, the average American adult only consumes about 15 grams of dietary fiber daily, which is only half the recommended amount. Below are a few ways lack of fiber intake negatively impacts the gut:

✅Starves the microbiome: The good bugs in the gut thrive on fiber. Fiber is their food and primary fuel source, and without it, they cannot survive.

✅Weakens gut lining: When the good bugs don’t have fiber, they either die or start eating away at the gut lining, which allows toxins to seep into the system, leading to further health complications.

✅Overgrowth of pathogens: More pathogenic and harmful bacteria flourish when beneficial bacteria do not get proper nutrients to live. This prolonged overgrowth of pathogens in the gut is the root of countless illnesses.

✅Impairs digestion: You need fiber to digest fiber! The beneficial gut bacteria help break down certain fibers so they can be more easily absorbed into the system. When diets lack fiber over time, it can become more challenging to incorporate fiber back into the diet.

To help get more fiber into your routine, try adding at least one source of fiber with each meal. Also try incorporating different forms of fiber from veggies to beans and grains like wild rice. If the gut has a hard time digesting fiber, you might start with more blended soups and supplementing with a digestive enzyme, this makes it much easier for the gut to digest.
