3 simple (+affordable!) food additions to feel ✨

3 simple (+affordable!) food additions to feel ✨really good✨all holiday season long 🥑🍊🍋

I drank way too much egg nog last week for someone whose skin doesn’t really like eggs or dairy 🥴 but it was deeeeelicious.

Say you’re also not feeling 100% this week… you don’t need drastic measures to get back on track nor do you need to go off the deep end until January. 😉

Here are my 3 easy additions for you this week to get you back to feeling 💯

*First - please don’t hang onto any guilt for enjoying a holiday meal full of delicious foods and connection last week. Guilt for indulging isn’t serving you, let that go. Trade guilt ➡️ gratitude for your favorite memories. ❤️

Enjoy these daily for many many benefits 🥑🍊🍋

Avocado 🥑 a filling combination of fiber and healthy fats, + 2-4g of protein depending on the size.

Good for: feeling satisfied, balancing blood sugar, and getting your gut health back on track.

Try: avocado toast sprinkled with hemp hearts and lemon.

Oranges 🍊 in season and sweet and delicious.
Good for: anti-inflammatory + hydrating+ great fiber for the gut.

Try: Orange segments drizzled with or dipped in melted chocolate and topped with flaky salt.

Lemon 🍋 the acid from citrus can aid in nutrient absorption and can reduce blood sugar spikes (this is true for other acids too, like vinegar).
Good for: happy skin + blood sugar control.

Try: lemon on avo toast, hummus, or in warm water.

Knowledge + daily habits 🤝

Let me know your questions and if you agree/disagree below. Let’s chat 🤗

PCOS girlies, this is a quick one for you 🫶 Y

PCOS girlies, this is a quick one for you 🫶

You've likely heard by now that spearmint tea can help women treat PCOS by reducing testosterone and blood sugar levels.

GREEN tea is also beneficial as it can help reduce insulin resistance and boost fat burning.

So many wins from a daily tea-sipping habit right??

For a two birds one stone approach, try shopping for "Moroccan Mint" tea which is most often a blend of green tea and spearmint (make sure to check the label!)

I love making a big batch of this tea on the weekends, storing it in the fridge, and throwing a mason jar in my lunch most days. This tea is caffeinated, so it's best enjoyed earlier in the day.

This will be the first of many reminders - mark your calendars for a free Workout & Wellness chat with Dr Andrea Emde on Thursday, December 12th at 5:30pm.

Dr Andrea is a dual-licensed Chiropractic Physician and Naturopath and she will be talking to us all about female hormones! We'll have holiday mocktails, exclusive discounts on hormone testing, and more surprises announced soon. @thevitalitydoc

This is a FREE event, but be sure to save your spot on Mindbody ✨

Who wants to get rid of fatigue and boost their mo

Who wants to get rid of fatigue and boost their mood before Christmas? 🙋‍♀️

Some of your feelings of fatigue or general soreness can be caused by inflammation caused by a little extra sugar over the holidays. There is nothing to feel guilty about, but you can manage this to feel better for your body.

If you want to have less pain and feel better, increase your body's storage sites for glucose (stored as glycogen) in your muscles. Fewer high blood sugars = less inflammation and pain. Do this by walking and working out. I love to encourage muscle-building over the holiday season because you need to be in a very slight calorie surplus to build muscle, so now is the perfect time! You will not get bulky; you CAN burn fat and build muscle in the same phase. Facts > Feelings.

To feel good enough to move and recover from the above-mentioned training 👆, you'll need to be well-hydrated and consume enough protein. Eating enough protein also positively impacts your hunger and fullness hormones.

Any questions? Would love to respond to them below, or send me a DM 😘

Why you should make homemade cranberry chia jam 👀 🍎

If you love cranberry sauce on the Thanksgiving table, this is for you... a great way to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner mindfully (and feel mostly comfy after) is to enjoy your fav turkey day foods all month or all year long. This gives you more opportunities to enjoy them and less pressure to eat as much as possible on Thanksgiving.

The ingredients are whole fresh cranberries, apple juice, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, cinnamon, and chia seeds.

It's so tasty and so good for you! It's packed with fiber, antioxidants, and healthy fats—which are incredible for overall health, keep you feeling full and energized, and are great for digestion and the skin.

This week I'm making turkey sandwiches on sourdough with cranberry jam and arugula on repeat, and no one can tell me this isn't a perfectly balanced and happy meal for me 😉 I would also put this on regular toast, overnight oats, yogurt, or eat it straight out of the jar.

You can find the recipe by searching "Homemade Cranberry Chia Jam" by Wellness for the Win. @Wellnessforthewin is a fellow Dietitian and content Creator I've followed for years, and she posts the best recipes! She has a little guy with special medical needs, so if you want the recipe, please find it on her blog to support them.

Let me know below if you're going to try this! ❤️

A little excerpt below 👇

"We collaborated with Madison Wittich, a local wine expert to explore the perfect balance between fish and wine. Consuming fish at least twice a week is recommended for optimal health, and we agree that mindful indulgence in wine can fuel enjoyment and connection at your dinner table. The secret to perfect food and wine pairings is finding a balance where the flavors complement rather than overpower each other, focusing on matching the intensity and acidity of the dish and the wine."

Rituals to set the tone for a great week 📌🍂

Rituals to set the tone for a great week 📌🍂

•Sunday night: schedule your workouts for the week 💪 we recommend 2-3 strength training sessions for most people, with active recovery in-between

•Monday morning gratitude practice to reflect on things that made it a great weekend ✏️ on the struggle bus…? Write down 3 things you’re looking forward to 😌

•Eat breakfast daily to support your mood and energy levels (Studies suggest people who eat breakfast are happier!)

•Prioritize movement for your mental and physical health. Walk, lift weights, hike, take a class, find ways to be active every day ☀️

•Listen to a favorite podcast while you cook dinner, bonus if there are new episodes on Mondays (where my crime junkie fans at? 💜)

A great way to build habits is to build rituals you love (Atomic Habits),
do you look forward to your Monday rituals?

Current Favorite Afternoon Snack... Mocha Protein

Current Favorite Afternoon Snack...

Mocha Protein Smoothie 🍫

This icy cold protein coffee really hits the spot, saves us from daily coffee shop runs, and is perfect for powering through an afternoon slump or fueling your workouts! Plus, it's made with simple, affordable ingredients—another reason to love it. Whole foods like bananas, spinach, and almonds may not get as much hype as the latest viral supplement, but they're excellent for hydration and providing essential vitamins and minerals!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/2 cup strong coffee or cold brew
1 frozen banana
1/2 cup spinach (you won't even notice it's there, we swear)
1 serving vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions: Blend all the ingredients until smooth and voilà! Enjoy!

2 Tools to Ditch Food Guilt After a Holiday Here

2 Tools to Ditch Food Guilt After a Holiday

Here's how to level up your thoughts and speak to yourself with kindness- THIS matters more than you know because your thoughts are directly linked to your circulatory, nervous, and digestive systems which all respond energetically to your unspoken words.

Don't let food guilt consume you - your body “hears” and responds to your mind energetically. Thoughts that don't serve you are translated into changes in:

Heart rate
Blood pressure
Body temp
Breathing rate
Muscle tension

Trade GUILT for GRATITUDE. Which holiday moments brought you the most joy? Write down your 3 favorite memories from the holiday, and replay them in your brain. Don't let yesterday's food guilt tarnish today's happiness and potential for growth, and every day is a new day to make great decisions that honor your health and goals.

Instead of worrying about gaining weight from one off day or week, remember FOOD = FUEL, food does not automatically get stored as fat, and fat is not inherently bad. Our bodies are SO GOOD at making adjustments: your metabolism is flexible and increases when you consume more calories, and your body secretes hormones that guide you in how much and what you need to eat every day, just to name a few things!

One of my mantras lately:

"Our bodies crave consistency, yet can be incredibly flexible."

Embrace your body's flexibility and remember to speak to yourself with kindness. 🧡

You are the greatest project you will ever work on

You are the greatest project you will ever work on. Restart, reset, refocus. As many times as it takes. Just don’t give up 🌿

Our WHY

One of our goals this month is to find more clarity. What difference do we want to make? What do we want to create? We're coming back to our why. 🧘‍♂️

Our big WHY is to help you utilize powerful nutrition—the food you eat every day—to feel amazing in your own skin and at peace with your body.

We don't specifically promote our practice for weight loss because we don't think losing weight is the most valuable thing a person can do, and we don't believe that smaller is always better.

Our clients do lose weight and build muscle, but most importantly, they feel great in their bodies, and their body confidence skyrockets. More importantly, they experience higher energy levels, better moods, calm and happy digestion, and boosted physical and mental performance, all from optimizing their diets and training.

When you have a system to achieve all of these things, you unleash a radiance that spreads over all areas of your life. 😌

These wins from my clients this week had me 😭

"Today was the first day ever that I've worn shorts and a workout tank to the gym and didn't wear a shirt or sweatshirt over it to cover up!"

"I'm continuing to make better food decisions, not binging when eating 'fun' food."

"I do not feel bloated and have been wearing my clothes raw; meaning I don't feel like I need to wear a cardigan or sweater to hide my body."

"My energy has probably been the best it's been since we started working together. I feel energized and happy. I continue to be surprised by how much my food choices have changed. It feels like it's really becoming a new way of life."

We help you drown out the diet culture noise, so you can focus on small, actionable steps that help you reach your goals. 💪

We're looking for 2-3 wellness seekers who want to level up their nutrition with a flexible plan, feel great in their bodies, and boost their natural glow and radiance with FOOD.
