Herbs and supplements can be beneficial to enhance

Herbs and supplements can be beneficial to enhance fertility, improve ovary function, and boost ovarian health! Here are a few I typically recommend: ✨ Chaste tree berry (also known as Vitex) many help to regulate your natural cycle
✨ Black cohosh can stimulate your ovaries and help with menstrual cramps
✨ DHEA helps improve estrogen production
✨ Probiotics help to increase healthy gut bacteria
✨ Zinc plays an important role in egg production and helps regulate hormone levels
✨ Selenium protects the reproductive system from free radical damage and promotes healthy cell division
✨ DHA and omega-3 fatty acids help regulate hormones and increase cervical mucus, promoting ovulation and increased blood flow to the reproductive organs; also reduces inflammation
✨ Inositol may also help support healthy ovulatory activity, ovarian function, and reproductive system function Visit my herb & supplement dispensary. Link in bio!

Becoming a conscious eater is one of the best ways

Becoming a conscious eater is one of the best ways to get to know yourself and your body better. But oftentimes that's not where we put our focus. What I see many women do is skip over the relationship they have with themselves, and jump right into the one they have with food. Mostly by not eating this, and limiting that -- ya know, your typical diet mentality. But getting to a healthy weight is really an INSIDE job. And weight loss is just as much a “symptom” as weight gain. This is where eating consciously comes in. Conscious eating is when you eat from a place of self-love and self-awareness; in a way that respects your body and your true desires. This is how you begin to shift the way you eat from the inside out. 💙 Want to become a conscious, curious, and creative eater who makes daily decisions that are perfect for your unique body? Look for the Nourish for a Healthy Weight link in my bio.

Feeling a little “off?” I get it. Could be you

Feeling a little “off?” I get it. Could be your hormones. What you eat can help a ton with that. These foods can help support hormone balance. Try incorporating a few into your meals: 🥦 Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts
🥬Leafy greens like spinach, arugula and collards
🌶️Bell pepper
🍴 Beans & lentils
🥑 Avocado
🥔 Sweet potato
🍅 Tomatoes
🍴 Nuts & seeds
⭐ Olive oil
🍓 Berries like blueberries & strawberries
🐟 Fatty fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, like salmon & sardines These tips can help, too: ✔️Utilize #seedcycling, eat an anti-inflammatory diet, and reduce your sugar intake (a lot)
✔️Get better #sleep by fasting 3 hours before bed and limit blue lights at night
✔️Drink more water and herbal tea (green tea like matcha is amazing, too!)
✔️Manage your stress response with breathwork and vagus nerve stimulation Need help eating well? I can help you nourish yourself with delicious anti-inflammatory food. The spring session of Nourish 21 is open for enrollment. Link in my bio.

I eat salmon at least 3 times a week and I think it makes me a happier person. I know I sure am happy when I’m eating it! 🤗 What you eat every day really does impact your mood, and a few simple changes to your diet can make a big difference in how you feel. 🌈 Are you ready to discover the amazing power of mood-boosting foods and nutrients? 🎣 Salmon, especially wild-caught salmon, is one of the best mood boosting, brain foods around! It's loaded with vitamins and minerals and is especially high in B12. 🎣 One 3 oz. serving of wild-caught salmon has over 100% of your daily recommended B12 intake! 🎣 Vitamin B12 is needed to make serotonin, a mood regulating chemical. Research shows that a deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to decreased production of serotonin and may leave you feeling down.

There’s one thing I know for sure: getting “healthy” isn’t about achieving your goal weight or eating perfectly. It’s about compassion. Having compassion for yourself as you evolve your mindset, deepen your belief in what’s possible, and learn how to listen to your body.

I love, love, love shopping for seasonal produce. My recipes and my food budget depend on it! Seasonal produce is fresh and ripe, and with food prices on the rise, the least expensive! If you’re looking for a way to cut down on that grocery bill, these are a few of my SPRING green favorites. 🌿🌱💚🥦🥬 Happy Spring!
