Health & Wellness
After struggling with a slew of gut issues, you can only imagine how many different diets I have tried. The truth is: no one diet alone is going to give you the longterm results you are looking for. This can be for loosing weight or in my case: finding foods that heal the gut. Mindfulness is the key when you have a goal like this. Read below for more tips on digestion.
​
"You are what you eat", I have believed this for most of my life, but what actually makes more sense is "You are what you digest". Our bodies don't only digest food. Think of all the things besides food that you intake every day: Soap, moisturizer, news articles, advice from loved ones, hand sanitizer, the detergent on our clothes, loud noises and stress from our daily commute. Our bodies take in so much every day and all of this has to be digested.
Our skin is our bodies largest organ. We are digesting whatever it comes in contact with. Think of how porous your skin is.
Our mind digests feelings and emotions. When we don't process and properly digest our emotions it can affect the digestion in our gut. Think about when your stomach turns when you get nervous or stressed.
This is why I take a full mind-body approach when I feel out of alignment. When I am feeling wonky I do an inventory of what is going on in my body (breathwork is the best way to do this). I make sure that I don't have any toxins or pollutants in any part of my life. The more I do this the more I purge products, programs, and sometimes even people from my life.
I no longer watch the news- I could not digest all of the horrible things it would report on. I get my news from a trusted source that gives me facts instead of opinions and I only check the news when I know I have the capacity to digest what I read.

I do my best to shop local and organic when it is convenient and budget friendly. But even then I still supplement with nutrition products that I trust. The food out there today doesn't always have all the nutrients our bodies need. Who has time to grow and cook everything from scratch? (Down the road this is a dream of mine).

This is why I am thrilled to offer an amazing line of products that up levels my life in so many ways. Arbonne has an incredible line of skincare. They ban over 2,000 harmful chemicals from their products (to give you an idea of how huge this is- the EU bans around 1,500 and the US bans under 20...). Their nutrition line has something for everyone. Take a look at what they have to offer and please reach out to me if you have any questions about products or ways to save!
