Hydration is so important for physical and mental

Hydration is so important for physical and mental energy. Be sure to drink at least half your body weight in ounces of water each day. Make sure you replenish electrolytes. Drink even more if you’re sweating or outside. Beat the summer heat and optimize your energy. 💦

Why am I so passionate about what I do as an FDN?

🥰 I believe everyone should feel healthy and energetic in their body so that they can feel able and excited to go after life, their dreams and their passions. The best way to achieve healthy energy and live a full life is to be fully connected to your body so that you can detect when things are out of balance and understand how to take care of your body so that you can be truly healthy in every way. In order to really be in tune with your body and take care of it, you need to understand how it works, what is going on inside, and also how different habits impact your body/health.

👍 The best way to do this is with access to the right constellation of diagnostic tools to fully understand how your body is functioning, where imbalances are, and then providing your body with the correct form of diet, rest, exercise, stress reduction and supplementation that meets your body’s specific needs and helps your body to function optimally.

🎯 People need to learn how to listen to their body. Symptoms are clues to imbalances and dysfunctions. Your body is trying to tell you that it needs you to pay attention and take care of it. The body is innately intelligent and it wants to heal and stay in balance. We must take charge of our health and our bodies. Symptoms, illness and disease accumulates over a long period of time. Therefore, healing also takes time, consistency and a whole body approach. 😉

Yay…it’s summer! 😎 Time to enjoy loads of wonderful, fresh, and ripe fruits and veggies!! Check out my June list of seasonal fruits and veggies.

Fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables not only taste better, but they are actually full of more nutrients since they are more likely to be sourced closer to home, stored for less time and grown in more optimal weather conditions for that particular fruit and vegetable.

This is the time of year that we really enjoy hitting the local farmer’s markets. It is so fun to select fresh and ripe produce and it is so important to support our local farmers.

Our favorites right now are berries (all kinds), peaches, avocado and tomatoes. 🫐 🍑🥑🍅

What are your favorite fruits and veggies this time of year? 👩‍🌾

Is energy elusive to you? Do you constantly fight

Is energy elusive to you? Do you constantly fight fatigue? Here are 10 common reasons you may struggle with fatigue & low energy.

1️⃣-Infections - we can harbor parasites, fungi, viruses, or bacteria in our body without even knowing it.

2️⃣-Toxicity – from air pollution, to chemical exposures, to herbicides & pesticides…chemical toxicities and heavy metal exposures are more common now than ever.

3️⃣-Mold/Mycotoxin Exposures – Since half of all buildings experience water damage, exposure to mold & the mycotoxins it creates is all too common.

4️⃣-Hormone Imbalances – adrenal dysfunction, low thyroid, low sex hormones & insulin imbalances all result in fatigue.

5️⃣-Poor Detoxification – results when the liver is overburdened & the elimination pathways are not adequately removing waste & toxins from the body via poop, pee, sweating and lymph flow.

6️⃣-Nutrient Deficiencies – inadequate protein & fat, lack of vital vitamins & minerals, can all greatly limit our ability to make energy.

7️⃣-Leaky Gut & Microbiome Imbalances – results in poor nutrient digestion, absorption, & production, which leaves us lacking the substrates to make energy.

8️⃣-Dehydration – both water & proper amounts of electrolytes are key to producing energy & also aid in waste elimination.

9️⃣-Lack of Movement/Exercise – Vital for our elimination pathways, movement helps to elevate our mood & enhances circulation.

🔟-Poor Sleep/Recovery – Sleep is when our body does its repair & rebuilding. Being in a rest & digest state is also important for promoting digestion, absorption of nutrients, & helps to promote hormone balance.

Fatigue is a key sign of Mitochondrial Dysfunction. The Mitochondria are the energy producing structures in every cell. They are damaged by all of the imbalances listed. To help our body make energy we need to heal & rebuild our Mitochondria.

Often we have many of these imbalances going on at the same time. In order to regain energy we must address all of the contributing factors at once and the body as a whole.
