SIMPLE, HEALTHY DINNER IN 5MIN: Your Monday was all meetings and emails. You forgot to meal prep, but ya want something nourishing. Sound familiar? This recipe/video is for you.⁣ ⁣ Yes, it involves sardines 🐟😏.⁣ ⁣ No, they aren’t disgusting 💅🏼.⁣ ⁣ If you haven’t tried my fave #stinkylunch, I double doggo dare you to think about it 😜. ⁣ ⁣ Just do it 👀.⁣ ⁣ 🐟WHY SARDINES?🐟⁣ They’re an inexpensive, great source of protein (~24g) and healthy fats. Ladies – you need diverse, quality fats to make healthy hormones and nourish your skin! Sardines have essential fatty acids (EFAs) like anti-inflammatory Omega-3s. They also pack B vitamins, vitamin D, calcium, and more. Plus, they’re wild-caught and more sustainable than big fish.⁣ ⁣ Still saying “ew”? Try @seasonbrandofficial sardines – we get ours from @costco! They’re boneless, skinless, and don’t have eyes watching you (if you’re not into that sorta thing). ⁣ ⁣ And they taste like tuna 🤷🏻‍♀️.⁣ ⁣ 🎶 When you’re ready Come and Get It🎶, as Selena Gomez says. (We stocked UP because sardines are $3 off at Costco.👉🏼)⁣ ⁣ 🐟 HOW I EAT SARDINES (VIDEO)🐟⁣ 🌿 Saute greens in EVOO and season liberally with s&p, garlic (don’t be shy)⁣ 🍚 Reheat 1/2c white rice* and season with s&p, garlic, coconut aminos⁣ 🐟 Add drained sardines to the bowl - don’t heat them.⁣ 🌱 Top with salsa verde, sriracha, cilantro⁣ ⁣ *I tolerate rice well and limit grains. You can swap for a carb source that works for you! I also love sardines atop mixed greens with a simple vinaigrette or mustard.⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼 If you try ‘em, tag me @ditea so I can cheer you on! Trying new, nourishing food is the best 🙌🏼.⁣ ⁣ 👩🏻‍🏫 We build a Custom Wellness Plan based on your body’s unique needs in my 90 Day Root Cause Reset program.

You’ve seen sheet masks, supplements at the store, or people talking about it in your feed. A few of you asked via DM what the cuss the fuss is all about 🤔. ⁣ ⁣ Lemme tell ya why it’s not just a trend👇🏼⁣ ⁣ WHAT’S COLLAGEN?⁣ Most abundant form of protein in the body, & building block of connective tissue (bones, ligaments, skin etc.) 👵🏼Aging + stress 😖 = slowing of our body’s own production.⁣ ⁣ WHY TAKE COLLAGEN?⁣ 💕 Acts as digestive support by healing the intestinal tract⁣ 💪🏼 Helps promote healthy bones, joints, & cartilage⁣ 💅🏼 Improves vitality of hair & nails⁣ 🧖🏻‍♀️ Improves skin health (collagen makes ~70% protein in our skin, keeping it supple & providing elasticity – 🙌🏼 yass ✨youthful glow✨)⁣ ⁣ WHERE TO GET IT⁣ 🥣 BROTH: Tis soup & stew season, but you can also sip a cuppa too - but not the shit garbage boxed stuff you find at the grocery store 🙅🏻‍♀️. Bone broth is what you want! This is a nutrient-dense drink made from simmering collagen-rich bones for ~24-48hrs. It’s been a staple in traditional cultures for 100s of years.⁣ ⁣ 🐓🐄 Save chicken or beef bones in your freezer & make broth when you’ve collected a few pounds. I prefer chicken bone broth most because it’s more mild in taste. Use pastured chicken or grassfed beef whenever possible for highest nutritional value.⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼 Don’t wanna DIY? @kettleandfire & @bonafideprovisions make high quality broth, perfect for sipping or cooking 😛.⁣ ⁣ 💙 COLLAGEN PEPTIDES: The unflavored from @vitalproteins has been my go-to for the past few years, especially when I’m traveling or on-the-go. They’re made from grass-fed, pasture raised cows & they mix into hot or cold liquids & foods seamlessly. There are no weird textures or other ingredients!⁣ ⁣ Note:this is a way to augment NOT replace real food protein.⁣ ⁣ I add mine to smoothies, soups, GF oats with almond butter, or blend into my favorite #saltedfatmocha 🤗☕️.⁣ ⁣ ❓Have you made your own bone broth? Tell me below👇🏼 And if you want to try my #saltedfatmocha see link in bio for recipe!⁣ ⁣ ⁣📸: @subversivesass ⁣ #kettleandfire #vitalproteins #bonafideprovisions #guthealing #skinhealth #clearskin MY SKIN NOW VS 3YRS AGO 👉🏼 &this post ain’t about magic skincare. ⁣ ⁣ ✨Because healthy skin STARTS from within.✨⁣ ⁣ I’ve struggled with cranky skin on/off since I was a teen, but a few years ago it was at its worst: clusters of hormonal breakouts that made me feel self conscious during meetings 😞. “Undergrounders” that lingered for weeks and hurt to touch 😔.⁣ ⁣ ❗️To be clear: our worth is NOT in how we look! But if you deal with frequent breakouts/acne and have tried “all the things”, you know how frustrating it can be.⁣ (I don’t have photos of my skin at its worst, because of how it made me feel!) ⁣ I felt like I was doing the right things:⁣ 🏋🏻‍♀️ Exercising⁣ 🥗 Eating good food⁣ 👩🏻‍💻 Working hard at my fast-paced office job⁣ ❣️ Taking hormonal birth control to “fix” my skin⁣ 🧖🏻‍♀️ Quality skincare and treatments (I tried TONS)⁣ ⁣ Alongside skin issues:⁣ 😖 Stress wreaked havoc on my digestion⁣ 😴 I knew afternoon slumps well⁣ 😵 Hormonal migraines were a monthly norm⁣ ⁣ 👎🏼 I felt like my health wasn’t a reflection of how successful I was in other areas of my life, but wasn’t sure how to felt better.⁣ ⁣ 🤔 On a whim I tried an elimination diet and working with a nutrition mentor before my wedding. It turned out it was the reset I needed because that, along with lifestyle changes, cleared my skin more than ANYTHING👏🏼 else👏🏼 I👏🏼 tried👏🏼. ⁣ ⁣ 🙌🏼 I felt better physically and emotionally than I had in years, and I owe it all to digging into the root cause and seeking guidance for addressing my body’s unique needs.⁣ ⁣ If you struggle with skin issues - I see you 💕. It gets better, and sometimes zits are still uninvited guests to the face party 🤷🏻‍♀️. You can heal your skin. If this resonated with you, but you don’t wanna comment, feel free to DM me! I’d love to support you.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #acneprone #acneproneskin #comboskin #skinhealingjourney #skinpositivity #acnetreatment #skinhealing 🍋 START YOUR MORNING STRONG – and I’m not talking a cuppa coffee first thing after you wake up. Here’s your reminder to hydrate BEFORE ya caffeinate as we head into a new week.⁣ ⁣ If you were logging those 💤 you probably went ~8 hours without fluids. ☕ Coffee, black teas, and fruit juices are popular morning drinks. But they’re also diuretics, meaning they increase urine production and dehydrate you further.⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼 My tip: Start ya morning with a glass of warm lemon water to hydrate and jumpstart your digestion!⁣ ⁣ *cue Lemonade - Gucci Mane*⁣ ⁣ 🍋WHY WARM LEMON WATER?🍋⁣ Warm or hot water is not as shocking to the digestive system like cold/ice water! The lemon (always real - no weird store-bought lemon juice🙅) helps support healthy stomach acid and bile production. ⁣ ⁣ It can also get other parts of your digestive processes movin’ before breakfast as well 😏💩. (Because who wants to use 1-ply office bathroom toilet paper anyway? 🤣)⁣ ⁣ You could also add a slice of ginger root! Try a pinch of sea salt for added minerals and electrolytes! With just a small amount you won’t even know it’s there.⁣ ⁣ 🍋 Do you drink lemon water before breakfast? Let me know how you feel!⁣ ⁣ 🙋🏻‍♀️ Ready to heal your gut so you can balance your energy, skin, and hormones? We’ll troubleshoot your digestion, morning routine, and more in the Nutrition & Lifestyle Audit step of my Root Cause Reset program 💕! I’m taking on 5 more 1:1 clients this month - shoot me a DM if you want in 📩.⁣ ⁣ ⁣ How do you start your week strong?👇🏼⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #morningroutine #buzzfeedhealth #coffeshots #womenandcoffee #caffeinefix #healyourself #coffeeculture #mindbodygram ⛰ HEALTHY SNACKS ON THE GO: Whether you forgot to schedule time between meetings, wanna avoid questionable airport food, or you’re climbin’ a mountain...ya gotta eat!⁣ ⁣ 🚫Highly refined sugar bombs not included🙅.⁣ ⁣ I’m talking nutrient-dense picks that are NOT meal replacements, but definitely 🎒backpack snacks + TSA friendly to tide you over. Plus, they’re non-perishable and easy to find at most grocery stores / gas stations / airports 💃🏻.⁣ ⁣ Below are 3 snacks I brought on our trip to Arizona and on the trails👇🏼:⁣ ⁣ 🚙TRAVEL-FRIENDLY PACKAGED SNACKS THAT DON’T SUCK✈️⁣ You can totally make your own snack packs, but for convenience sake I’ve tagged brands!⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ Jerky⁣ Quality protein will keep you full longer! Grass-fed or pastured options like the Chicken Sriracha bar from @epicbar are my picks - you can find them at most grocery stores. Otherwise, read the ingredients and look for options that have high protein, low-sugar ( 💦 Days are shorter🌚 - it’s easy to reach for a cuppa ☕️ and power through your inbox or morning meetings.⁣ ⁣ But if ya get to your lunch hour and realize “Oh shit - water? I don’t know her!"...more isn’t better. ⁣ ⁣ Stay with me!:⁣ ⁣ Drinking water and being hydrated is so important! But guzzling it (or any fluids!) at a meal can dilute your stomach acid that you need to properly digest your food 😵.⁣ ⁣ Sips mid-meal are fine👍🏼, but don’t chug your water 👎🏼.⁣ ⁣ 💧Aim to get most of your hydration 30 minutes outside of meals💧. ⁣ ⁣ I love starting my day with room temperature or warm water with a pinch of sea salt - “Electrolytes! They’ve got what plants crave!” - and squeeze of 🍋 to kickstart digestion. ⁣ ⁣ And be sure to up your water intake if you’re drinking diuretics like coffee, black teas, juices.⁣ ⁣ I’m sipping on ALL the water and herbal tea today to flush out some congestion from a head cold. Gotta kick this lung butter situation 🤧😂.⁣ ⁣ ⁉️How much water have you drank today?⁣ ⁣ #hydration #healthylivingtips #bossbabe #almost30 #almost30nation #coffeemood #womeninbusiness #smallbusinessowner #solopreneur #beingboss #buildingbossbabes ⁣
