Did you know that today is National Spinach Day?!

Did you know that today is National Spinach Day?! We didn't either, but now we do and we're excited about it! ⠀
•⠀
Spinach has TONS of nutritional benefits, including boosting heart health! Antioxidants found in the leafy greens protect the body from oxidative stress and combat chronic inflammation that can lead to heart disease. ⠀
•⠀
Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ10) are two antioxidants that work together in the body to attack LDL cholesterol, reducing the risk for developing or worsening heart disease. Vitamin E can be found in foods like spinach, as well as sunflower seeds, almonds, spinach, avocado, peanuts, and asparagus. CoQ10 can be found in vegetables like broccoli, spinach, and cauliflower. These can also be found in supplement form.⠀
•⠀
What are three ways you can add in spinach to your week?

Pro tip: Pop your avocados in the fridge to slow down ripening!
•
If you've already got a super ripe avocado, simply dice and freeze for smoothies. Frozen avocados in smoothies give the smoothie a "creamsicle" like texture. •
We love avocados for their taste and texture, but also remember that cooking with avocado oil and eating avocados liberally has wonderful benefits for your skin!

Did you know that our pets may improve heart health by lowering blood pressure and regulating the heart rate during stressful situations?! In a 2002 study, researchers measured changes in heart rate and blood pressure among people who had a dog or cat, compared to those who did not, when participants were under stress. ⠀

Plus, it's National Puppy Day. They deserve all the loves. 🤗

Happy Sunday! ✨ ⠀
•⠀
Who's cooking eggs for breakfast this morning? Good for you (and your thyroid)! ⠀
•⠀
Eggs live up to their title of the “perfect food,” especially when it comes to balancing hormones through diet. They provide a concentrated source of thyroid-supporting building blocks like protein, cholesterol, B vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins, and minerals.⠀
•⠀
Contrary to the belief of mainstream [or, as I say, mislead] nutrition, the yolks – not whites – are the most nutritious part of the egg! Take a quick look at the nutritional highlights of eggs, and other thyroid-healthy foods, at the link in our bio!

Taking in collagen daily is an excellent way to boost skin health and radiance! ⠀
•⠀
A few easy ways to include it in your diet:⠀
⠀
- Bone Broth⠀
⠀
- Collagen building foods like beets, fish, kale, spinach, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and garlic.⠀
⠀
- Collagen Protein Powders [If you’re vegan simply increase intake of collagen synthesizing cofactors vitamin C]⠀
*note while collagen protein powder is processed to some degree to turn it into a powder I find it to be a great in-a-pinch solution. @vitalproteins is one of my favorite brands though I know there are lots out there that boast top-notch quality.⠀
•⠀
How do you personally support collagen synthesis?⠀
Or if you haven't started, which way do you think will work best for you?!⠀

Live every day in full bloom, but especially today! Happy first day of Spring, everyone!

Today I’m gleefully celebrating another trip aro

Today I’m gleefully celebrating another trip around the ☀️. This year [like every other] has had its highs // its deep lows and its milestones of sweet celebration.
But here’s what shifted [and it feels like a powerful shift of maturity].
•
I’m starting to pause.🖐🏼
•
I’m starting to reflect.
And I’m starting to tune inward. #novel
•
But maybe what I’m most proud of is the fact that I’m not as terrified of stillness. Or maybe I’m not still blindly enrolled in “rushing addicts anonymous.” 🙄
•
Oh but don’t get me wrong... slowing down and being still isn’t instinctual yet but I’m committed to it. 💪🏼
•
Here’s why ☝🏼... the best decisions I made this year were the ones I made when I finally slowed down. •
This didn’t come naturally though... instead I was forced to slow down by getting super sick over the holidays and what I tasted when I slowed down was intoxicating. It was like I tapped into a better version of myself.
•
So here’s my commitment to you, I’m going to keep fighting for this slowness. ⚔️
•
And I’m going to encourage you [yes YOU!] to do the same. •
I’m so grateful for my community of followers... that’s you! 👭👭
•
Because I know you are as fiercely committed as I am to becoming the best version of yourself. You are willing to do scary things like sit still // eat crazy new foods // and rewrite old scripts that no longer serve you.
•
We are in this together. Cheers to the next trip around the sun.

the art of calm - a free masterclass TONIGHT, Tuesday 3.17 at 5:30 MST - my gift to you! •⠀ So much information is coming at you. It’s overwhelming. It’s terrifying. And it’s hitting on so many primal nerves. ⠀
•⠀
I’ve thought hard about what I can do to be a source of comfort; a filter; and a haven of direction. And the best gift I can give is my time and my tangible tools I know create calm + nourishment.⠀
•⠀ Together we will explore very approachable VERY simple ways to latch on to the things that will keep you grounded. It’s so tempting in the chaos to throw your self care to the wind when that is what you need most right now. ⠀

Ahh, Monday morning... who reached for their coffee cup first thing this morning?⠀
•⠀
Easy healthy skin swap: try switching out your cup of joe for green tea to boost antioxidant protection and a healthy glow!⠀
•⠀
A bit of honey will add some sweetness to your cup if you don't like the taste of tea straight. Another one of my favorite ways to to enjoy green tea is to make a nut milk green tea latte! Simply froth your favorite nut milk [or oat milk] and add to the top of 1/2 cup hot green tea. ⠀ ⠀

How do you take your tea? Tell us below!

No doubt we could all use a few ways to make things a little bit easier right about now! Here is a shortcut to make things a little simpler in the kitchen! •
Don't feel like you are stooping when you buy the following foods frozen [oftentimes if they are not in season buying them frozen ensures they still have many of their nutrients intact]: blueberries + raspberries + blackberries + spinach + peas + cauliflower
•
So, go ahead! Pop 'em in the freezer and use them whenever you're ready, without worrying about them going bad or losing nutrients.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day weekend, everyone!⠀
•⠀
It's no secret that there's lots of GREEN when it comes to healthy options!⠀
We thought it would be fun if we all shared our favorite healthy ingredients–but they have to be green!⠀
•⠀
We'll start with a little crunch: celery! Why? It’s so easy to throw in soups, juice and munch on the run [dipped in a fun sauce or hummus of course].⠀
•⠀
Your turn! Drop your favorite green health foods below, try not to repeat one that someone else has shared already! And bonus points if you give a fun idea on how you easily weave it into your life.

It’s SO easy in this tumultuous season of immuni

It’s SO easy in this tumultuous season of immunity compromise to start panicking. Pause. Breath. And remember that your EMOTIONAL resilience plays just as big of a role in prevention as your physical resilience.
•
As we weather this influx of Coronavirus, here is a quick rundown of what I recommend doing.
•
Swipe through to see the line-up and read on to understand the WHY.
•
Everything listed is a reflection of my research into what is most efficacious for viral prevention.
•
I also consulted my tribe of colleagues // doctors who I look up to and this line-up is what I am currently using. I couldn’t help but spoon-feed you some ideas!
•
Vitamin C - one of the most powerful antioxidants fighting free radicals in order to enable your immune system to function effectively. Bolster intake with supplementation and consider foods rich in vitamin C as well like citrus, strawberries, bell peppers, spinach, and broccoli.⠀
•
Zinc - not only helps C do its job, but also supports the immune system in its fight against invading bacteria + viruses.
•
Vitamin D - most people have low or deficient levels of vitamin D making it even more important now to support your D-driven defense. Why? Vitamin D plays a role in your body’s immune response and deficiency is associated with increased susceptibility to infection.⠀
•
Beta-glucan - produced by fungi, grains, seaweed, and yeast. Taken orally, beta-glucan primes and mobilizes cells in the body’s first line of defense to enhance protection against harmful lifestyle effects and physical stressors
•
Biocidin throat spray- a synergistic combination of botanical medicines, which targets the entire GI tract supporting microbiome balance + defense against invasion.
•
A few notes:

1. Coronavirus obviously is so novel that there is no research behind specific antidotes but with what we know about viruses, these immune boosters specifically target viral protection.
2. I’m not affiliated with any of these products but recommend emulating them to the best of your ability on the home front.
3. And as always, consult with your physician before adding anything new into your regimen.

Be resilient. Be well.
XOXO

Eek! Today is National Registered Dietitian Nutrit

Eek! Today is National Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day!⠀
•⠀
I thought today would be a wonderful opportunity to reintroduce myself to you all and speak to my journey as an RDN.⠀
•⠀
My philosophy about wellness started with my own path of trial and error [yep, lots of error]. I was a collegiate swimmer, and I found myself at the intersection of rigorous practices and toxic foods, drinks, and thoughts.⠀
•⠀
I was having a battle between my head and my heart—a wanted clarity and contentment, but my choices just weren't getting me there. Irritability, debilitating fatigue, sugar cravings, and chronic stomach pain sideswiped my emotions. And I found myself with acute inflammation and, ultimately, a diagnosis of autoimmunity.⠀
•⠀
I eventually learned a new way of living from my own ND, and went on to study for my own degree. Now, I teach what I learned. I teach what I wish I had known when I was in survival mode. I've spent years designing, tweaking, and refining my knowledge, strategies, and protocols to help others interpret their bodies, track down their toxic offenders, and come alive.⠀
•⠀
I can tell you from experience, you have so much to gain from your journey. As your own symptoms subside, you'll be reminded of one of the most simple, most basic things about our bodies: food is our most potent medicine and our best recipe for preventative healthcare. And just as wonderfully, you'll rediscover the power of food to build community; connect us to our cultures; and nourish every aspect of our bodies, from cell to soul.
