1 thing my nutrition clients notice when they’re done with their Root Cause Reset (RCR):⁣ ⁣ We acclimate to wellness quickly.⁣ ⁣ What I mean is – as we heal it’s easy to forget just how FAR we’ve come, especially for women who are:⁣ 👩🏻‍💻Perfectionists⁣ 👩🏼‍🏫Career-driven⁣ 🦸🏽‍♀️Bosses⁣ ⁣ They’re used to thinking about what else needs to be done, or what else needs “fixing”.⁣ ⁣ I encourage them in their final session to reflect back on our time together and their new normal. ⁣ ⁣ ☺️What changed for the better? ⁣ 🤔What can they do now that wasn’t possible 3 months ago?⁣ Every step in your healing journey is worth celebrating. ⁣ ⁣ A few examples of aha realizations:⁣ ⚡️ Changed their mindset from a story of “I am sick” to “I am healing every day”⁣ 🙌🏼 Have so much natural energy that they no longer need caffeine after noon⁣ 💪🏼 Ditched bloat and feel confident in their skin ⁣ 💩 Don’t remember the last emergency trip to the bathroom⁣ 💕 PMS migraines and mood swings aren’t a monthly occurrence⁣ +more⁣ . 👏🏼 And nothing makes me happier than seeing my clients reclaim their vibrancy and own their wellness. Being a nutritionist and hype woman for my RCR clients is the most rewarding work I’ve ever done 🙏🏼.⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼 FYI: Enrollment for RCR is now open, and a few spots have already been filled! We start May 8. Link in bio for details. ⁣ If it’s been awhile since you celebrated your progress, tell me:⁣ 🌟What is a non-scale victory you’re proud of?⁣ ⭐️What stories have you let go, and what are you allowing?⁣ ⁣ #diteawellness #ditearootcausereset #guthealing #guthealth #nutritionaltherapy #ww #iamwellandgood #realfoodheals #healthyeatinginspo #feelgoodfood #leakygut #realfoodheals #grandrapids #grmichigan #femaleentrepreneur #bosspreneur⁣ “You’re allowed to eat fast.” ← this was a meme that made me 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️.⁣ ⁣ For context, it was on an anti-diet account whose content I usually enjoy 💁🏻‍♀️. But here’s the Tuesday Tea 🍵👇🏼!⁣ ⁣ That’s shitty advice, ESPECIALLY if you deal with:⁣ 🤰🏻Bloat⁣ 💔Acid reflux or heartburn⁣ 💨Burping or gas after eating⁣ Or any other digestive issues, food sensitivities, and more…⁣ ⁣ 💥Eating fast sets off the first “domino” in digestive dysfunction💥.⁣ ⁣ Why? ⁣ ⁣ 🍵You won’t get into rest + digest mode⁣ or “parasympathetic” state needed for best digestion. Eating fast, on-the-go, or while working at your desk will keep you in the sympathetic, “fight or flight” state and that means digestion is on the backburner.⁣ ⁣ Digestion starts in the brain. To help make the switch: close computer when you can and try 5 deep belly breaths before eating.⁣ ⁣ 🍵You’re not chewing enough⁣ Chewing begins mechanical digestion by physically reducing size of food. Some chemical digestion also starts in the mouth with the release of salivary amylase that starts breaking down carbs. ⁣ ⁣ Take your time to chew so your stomach doesn’t have to work so hard. ⁣ ⁣ 🍵You won’t produce enough stomach acid⁣ If you’re stressed and eating fast without properly chewing, your stomach won’t make enough hydrochloric acid (HCl) that’s needed to properly digest food and neutralize invaders.⁣ ⁣ Food can’t pass into the small intestine until it’s properly acidified or forced to by more food. When food stays in the stomach too long carbs start to ferment, proteins putrefy, and fats go rancid, releasing 💨GAS...cue bloating, burping, heartburn and/or acid reflux 😩!⁣ ⁣ Without proper acidity to trigger release of digestive enzymes into the small intestine the “dominoes” of digestive dysfunction continues.⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼Low HCl is SUCH a common issue I see with my Root Cause Reset clients and why I always work north to south in improving gut health.⁣ ⁣ 🌟 TL;DR: I know you’re busy AF. Food is a pleasure Slow down and savor it - for yer gut health 🙌🏼.⁣ ⁣ 👩🏻‍🏫 Wanna troubleshoot gut stuff? Use the link in my bio to hop on my VIP waitlist. Those women get access to priority enrollment next week!⁣ 💇🏻‍♀️ Chop chop! Time for spring cleaning...starting with my hair.⁣ ⁣ Long hair was fun, but it was time to let it gooo after 10 years 🤷🏻‍♀️. Thank you to the bob king 🤴🏻@anhcotran for helping me take the leap🙌🏼. ⁣ ⁣ 💕What are you letting go of this season?:⁣ ⁣ ➰Saying yes when you mean no⁣ ➰Clothes that don’t feel good⁣ ➰The scale⁣ ➰Unsupportive friendships⁣ ➰Overextending yourself at work⁣ ➰Novels you can’t get into?⁣ ⁣ Marie Kondo that shit💃🏻!⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #anhcotran #softblunt #livedinhair #bob #georgethesalon⁣ ⁣ Why I love fast food after vacation 👇🏼⁣ ⁣ Naw, not that kind of fast food! 🙃⁣ ⁣ ✈️ Airport food generally sucks 😒, and so does cooking a full meal after a long day travel 😴.⁣ ⁣ That’s where:⁣ Minor pre-planning and semi-homemade options save the day⁣ ⁣ If you have travel on your calendar this spring, here are some ways to fuel up when you get home:⁣ ⁣ 🥚 Pastured eggs⁣ Before you head on that week long vacay, grab a dozen and stash ‘em in the fridge for when you get back. ⁣ ⁣ 👩🏻‍🍳 Plan for leftovers⁣ A week or so before you travel, try double or tripling recipes, and freeze individual portions that you can thaw and eat when you’re home. Chili or soups, stir fries, egg cups, sheet roasted veggies, some casseroles are a few recipes that freeze well. @daniellewalker specifically outlines freezer tips for many of the dishes in Eat What You Love...one of my favorite cookbooks.⁣ ⁣ 🍓🥬 Individual smoothie packs⁣ Add your smoothie ingredients to freezer-friendly containers so they are blender-ready! Include quality fat, greens + fiber, quality protein (with only a few ingredients), and liquid (as ice cubes!). I don’t recommend MOST pre-made gimmicky shakes, but @dailyharvest has some good options.⁣ ⁣ 🍽 Remix pre-made options. ⁣ Grab a rotisserie chicken or some grass-fed sausages from @costco! Having the main protein ready makes your meal come together faster. Add some fresh greens or steam some frozen veggies. Don’t forget good fat like @primalkitchenfoods dressing or some pre-made guacamole (check those ingredients for junk oils and sugars)!⁣ ⁣ ➰These are a few of my tips - how do you make “fast food” after you travel? Tell me below!👇🏼⁣ ⁣ #realfoodtips #mealprepsunday #healthychoices #glutenfree #healthyfoodshare #foodisfuel #costcofinds #costcodoesitagain #againstallgrain #grassfed #mealpreptips #paleoish #travelfoodie #wellnesstravel #easymealprep⁣ “The best thing you can do for those who love you is to give yourself the gift of wellness.”⁣ ⁣ 👆🏼This was one of my notes from the @beautycounter L.E.A.D. conference. It was an amazing, inspiring weekend with 1,700+ fellow leaders in this purpose-driven company. ⁣ ⁣ 💄Why did I join the safer beauty movement?⁣ ⁣ As a nutritional therapist I care deeply about teaching my clients how to choose quality ingredients in their food, why it matters for their health, and what they can do to support their health after our time together 🙌🏼.⁣ ⁣ 💪🏼 Knowledge is empowering! It helps us make better choices for our health + for our loved ones.⁣ ⁣ I believe we deserve better education when it comes to nutrition, reproductive health, and personal care products.⁣ ⁣ Did you know?⁣ The E.U. banned or restricted 1,400 chemicals in products. The U.S.? Just 30. And little has changed since 1938 🤯. ⁣ ⁣ Federal regulations are 80yrs overdue. And I love being part of the company leading the charge for better standards...not just in their products, but advocating for legislation that would make products safer for ALL. ⁣ ⁣ So excited for what’s ahead in 2019 and can’t wait to share more with my awesome team 🤗. ⁣ ⁣ 💋Why does #betterbeauty matter to you?⁣ ⁣ #saferbeauty #beautycounter #switchtosafer #thistimeitspersonal #businessofclean #beautyshouldbegoodforyou #nontoxic #cleanbeauty #greenbeauty #LEAD2019 #saferskincare 🤧SEASONAL ALLERGIES + GUT HEALTH: Did ya know they’re connected?⁣ ⁣ Seriously!⁣ ⁣ 💊If you’ve popped Claratin like candy from April to August in years past to avoid sneeze attacks and stuffy sinuses...time for gut T.L.C.!⁣ ⁣ Here’s the Tuesday Tea with Ditea🍵: Optimizing digestion cuts seasonal allergies!⁣ ⁣ 💥Root cause support for the gut = long-term relief v. symptom management💥⁣ ⁣ 🌸Proactive Tips Pre-Sneeze Season🌸⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣ Identify + avoid inflammatory foods⁣ To reduce stress on the small intestine 🍴. You can start with an elimination diet like @21daysugardetox that avoids commonly inflammatory foods like dairy, wheat, sugar, and refined oils.⁣ ⁣ 🥛🥐🧀Dairy and wheat in particular can thicken mucus! Closely monitor how you feel during reintroductions.⁣ ⁣ For complete, custom data about your food reactions do an MRT-170 test with a nutritional therapist🙋🏻‍♀️.⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣ Add healing foods + drinks ⁣ Sip quality bone broth! 🥣This traditional, mineral-rich beverage helps heal and seal a permeable gut lining. Make it with bones from pastured animals or try a brand like @kettleandfire. Eat probiotic-rich foods like raw fermented veggies, kombucha, water kefir.⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣ Drink more⁣ ...water! 💦Staying well-hydrated will thin mucus. You don’t have time to be taken out by a sinus headache!⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣ Saline spray + Neti Pot⁣ I KNOW a nose kettle is freaky😮, but that shit WORKS. Blast the Space Jam theme song and watch a YouTube demo to find courage...just me🤪?⁣ ⁣ 👉🏼 Want more symptom relief tips?
