Healthy Honey Mustard Dressing Recipe

HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING RECIPE

13 / JULY / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 30 seconds
Total Time: 2.5 minutes
Yields: 10 - 12 servings

When it comes to having healthy hormones, having healthy fats in our diets make a huge difference! A lot of dressings that you’ll find in grocery stores are loaded with oils that will cause inflammation in your body and wreak havoc on your hormones (say goodbye to canola oil and sunflower oil please).

Instead you want to add oils that are NOT going to contribute to inflammation and actually can have anti-inflammatory properties, which is why in this dressing recipe you’ll find olive oil instead.

Do your hormones a favour and don’t miss out on flavour with this tasty dressing recipe!

INGREDIENTS

- 2 tbsp. dijon mustard
- ½ cup olive oil, extra virgin
- 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp. honey
- Pinch of kelp salt (or sea salt)

METHOD

Blend in a food processor for 20 - 30 seconds, or shake vigorously until well mixed. Store in the fridge for up to one month.

** Drizzle ~1 tbsp. over your favourite salad or meal for some extra flavour

Why You Need To Be Pooping Daily For Weight Loss

WHY YOU NEED TO BE POOPING DAILY FOR WEIGHT LOSS

22 / JUNE / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

LISTEN UP… 📣 If you are not pooping 💩 daily, it’s time to sound the alarm bells 🚨🚨🚨

Particularly if you want to shift weight, support your hormones or just be healthy in general. 😅

WHY DAILY BOWEL MOVEMENTS ARE SO IMPORTANT

One of the biggest issues I hear about from clients is irregular bowel movements, specifically constipation.

Now, I know this isn’t fun to talk about or admit, but if you let this fester over time it can cause havoc in your body. 😱🥺

Think about it this way, your bowel movements 💩 are one of the ways your body eliminates toxins ❌- TOXINS (aka a substance that is harmful to your body)

If you aren’t eliminating these toxins through your bowel movements 💩 at least once a day you are essentially just letting them sit there ready to be reabsorbed. 😵

I like to think about it as a bus 🚌 (stool) travelling down a road (your intestine) with a bunch of passengers 👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏾 inside (the toxins)... If the bus is moving at a steady pace those passengers are going to get to their destination on time 🙌🏽🥳, however if the bus is stopped the passengers are able to get off the bus and go for a wander 😱👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏾

Passengers don’t jump out of a moving bus, and we don’t want your toxins going on a walkabout back into your bloodstream only to be stored in your body again. 🙅🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️
Because when this happens, they wind up in a fat cell and become hard to move (therefore the body fat becomes hard to move)🤦🏼‍♀️

TIPS ON SUPPORTING MOTILITY

Is all of this making sense so far? 🙌🏽🥰

Your motility (bowels moving daily) is KEY 🔑 to your toxin excretion 👌🏽

So how do you support your motility?

- Make sure you are drinking plenty of water (at least 2L per day) 💦

- Eat a variety leafy green vegetables 🥬 - these should be in at least 2 of your main meals

- Add some nourishing carbohydrates like sweet potato, potato🥔pumpkin or rice to your main meals to help bind the stool together so they are much easier to pass ✨

If you want further support with this, check out my 4 Week Gut Reset here! 🥳🥳🥳 I teach you step by step how to detox your body and get your bowels moving regularly?

Chicken Pesto Zoodles Recipe

CHICKEN PESTO ZOODLES RECIPE

18 / MAY / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yields: 1 servings

I LOVE PASTA!! But what I don’t love is how heavy I used to feel after eating it! It turns out after some extensive testing, not only am I coeliac, but actually intolerant to rice, so it makes finding pasta pretty tricky without getting a massive bloat or reaction afterwards.

This is why I fell in love with zoodles, so quick, easy and best of all, they don’t bloat me! I know a lot of other women struggle with digesting grains too which is why I thought I’d share this recipe from my signature 12-week program Reclaim Your Radiance with you!

If pasta doesn’t get you bloated, try a gluten free variety mixed in with the zoodles if you like!

INGREDIENTS

- 100g chicken breast
- 2 heaped tbsp. basil pesto
- 2 large spiralised zucchini
- 1 cup baby spinach
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- ½ tsp. basil
- ½ tsp. oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste

METHOD

Cook pasta as per instructions on the back of the packet (if using zoodles, wait to add them till the end)
Cook chicken in seasonings on a medium heat in a fry pan for 5 – 10 minutes, until it starts to brown.
Add baby spinach and mushrooms with olive oil and sauté for 2 – 3 minutes.
Mix in the basil pesto and zoodles or pasta for 2 minutes before serving.

** Vegetarian Alternative: 70g Sunfed Chicken Free Chicken

How To Cure IBS For Good

HOW TO CURE IBS FOR GOOD

11 / MAY / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

First things first, you need to understand that IBS is a pretty crappy diagnosis, I mean, it literally stands for irritable bowel syndrome. And I dunno about you, but I want to know WHY on earth my bowel is irritated!

Understanding what is actually happening underneath the surface level diagnosis that is ‘IBS’, or what I like to call, the IBS Iceberg can be hard and is often why the ‘solution’ is to just follow a low FODMAP diet (and that’s it).

As a holistic + clinical nutritionist this is not a long-term ‘solution’ that I am happy to put my clients on. In fact, it isn’t really a solution at all.

Yes low FODMAPs can be super helpful, but it is even in the research that this isn’t a long-term fix. It might reduce the symptoms, but again we want to get to the root of the cause and in my expert opinion and first hand experience, I can tell you that it is normally one of these three things that lie below the surface of the IBS Iceberg:

3 ROOT CAUSES OF IBS

1. Leaky Gut

Leaky gut is another way of saying your intestine (gut) is permeable (has ‘gaps’) in it. This allows for particles of food and other toxins to seep through into your bloodstream (where it isn’t meant to be).

So the body freaks out, thinks there is an invader present and puts the entire system in a state of inflammation… hello food intolerances and irregular bowel movements.

These symptoms sound familiar?

2. SIBO

Short for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, now you may be wondering what on earth that means, especially because we are meant to have bacteria in our gut right?

YES!

But not in our small intestine… You see, that is where all the absorption and digestion goes on, so the majority of our bacteria should be living in our large intestine. When it grows up searching for food and starts to overpopulate in the small intestine we start to see issues like chronic bloating, diarrhoea, smelly gas, burping and fatigue to name a few!

Not fun right, and can be kind of embarrassing at times

3. Dysbiosis

Now dysbiosis simply put, means there is an imbalance of good bacteria to bad bacteria in the gut. We are always going to have some bad guys, but the ratio needs to be heavily in favour of the good ones!

Often clients come to me concerned that there is something living in their gut that shouldn’t be, and whilst this is true for some cases, the bigger issue is actually the lack of good gut bacteria.

If we don’t have enough good guys, we reduce our defence in fighting off the bad guys! And then we have a bunch of space for the bad guys to invade.

I think you’d agree, we really don’t want a hostile situation in our guts! So this balance needs to be restored!

HEAL TO HEAL IBS FOR GOOD

These are the three main issues I see underneath the IBS ice-berg!

Which is why the diagnosis IBS is not really supporting you in having a healthy gut right! We really have to support the good bacteria that are living inside of us!

The great news is, that it doesn’t have to take extensive testing and supplementation to reset your gut health and start to really nourish those beautiful bugs that help us thrive!

The key thing to understand when it comes to healing your gut (or curing IBS for good), is that it isn’t a short-term solution. You are going to need to make changes to your diet and lifestyle, and some of those shifts may need to become more permanent to keep you healthy, others will only need to be around temporarily whilst the healing occurs.

What you need to give yourself is time, on average it takes at least 12 weeks for the gut to do the deeper healing work, but you don’t have to wait that long to see results!

One of my clients saw a reduction in bloating after 4 days, another got her energy back and anxiety reduced in just 4 weeks!

These are women just like you who didn’t accept a BS diagnosis, and wanted real change and answers about their body and health! And I truly feel confident that when you apply what you learn inside the 4 Week Gut Reset, you can have the same results!

Sound good? Click here to save your spot! I cannot wait to support you!

What It Truly Takes To Heal Your Body

WHAT IT TRULY TAKES TO HEAL YOUR BODY ❤️ (WHAT MOST HEALTH COACHES AREN’T TELLING YOU!) 🤯

13 / APRIL / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

If you’re confused on how to get started on your gut or hormone healing journey this one’s for you! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I have so many clients come to me, that have been lost 😔, misguided and confused about why nothing they have tried works for the long-term… so I’m here to drop some TRUTH bombs for you! 🤩

Because YOU deserve to know how to get the most out of your efforts! 🎉

5 TIPS TO TRULY HEAL YOUR BODY

1️⃣ Trust the Process

That includes yourself, your body is a reflection of the mind 🧠, and if you continue to fill it with self-doubt, it’s a constant negative stress which interrupts the healing process!

Know that unlike what may be conveyed on social media nowadays, it doesn’t just happen overnight, but it also doesn’t have to take forever or be super hard! It really just takes you showing up every day with the belief that you can do it and if needed the guidance and support of a coach to help you see your blindspots!

2️⃣ Prioritise Consistency > Fancy Supplements

Sure there are incredible supplements 💊that SUPPORT your healing, but if you’re still getting minimal sleep 😴 , putting sh*t food into your body, and not prioritising exercise and rest CONSISTENTLY… NOTHING is going to change!

You’ve probably heard the ‘80:20’ principle a lot, and to be honest, I am not the biggest fan of it, but I will share this… if you are being 80% consistent on putting the right habits in place and healthy foods into your body, and exercising 3 - 5 times a week in a way that challenges you, you’re going to be 80% better than when you started which is pretty damn good!

3️⃣ Your Comfort Zone is Killing You

Everything you desire is on the other side of your fear! 🙌🏽 Nothing changes if nothing changes, doing the same thing and expecting different results is literally the definition of insanity! 🤯 Get OUT of your comfort zone and invest in your health 🤩

But what does this really look like? Maybe it is trying a new meal, asking for more support, putting extra weight on the barbell at the gym, taking more time out for you. If it is a little bit scary but also a little bit exciting you are in exactly the right place for change!

4️⃣ You’re Not Addressing the Root Cause

Have fun repeating the same diet a million times over 🤦🏼‍♀️ or trying all the new products on the market, these will NOT 🙅🏼‍♀️ solve your issue. If you truly want to HEAL the body, you have to UNDERSTAND what is driving it on the inside!

A lot of the time we think if we simply eat right and exercise the results will happen (and yes… they sure do help!), but if there is a hormonal imbalance, a gut issue, you adrenals are stressed or your body is chronically inflamed, it is going to hold back your results and progress! This is why getting to the root cause is so important!

If you aren’t sure where to start with this, take my free quiz here!

5️⃣ Exercise isn’t the be all and end all

Endless hours of cardio 🏃🏼‍♀️, training and HIIT are doing more damage than good. Finding an exercise regime that is BALANCED ⚖️ and right for your body is key for your healing and health!

If there is one thing I tell all my female clients, no matter what age you are… get into strength training, it boosts your metabolism, is great for your physical and mental health and you will start seeing results in your body as it is pushing you outside your comfort zone and forcing your body to change shape!

Try swapping out the cardio for some weights a couple times a week, balance it with something new and most of all have FUN! If you aren’t enjoying it you won’t stick to it. Don’t exercise out of punishment, exercise to push you to your limits, get stronger and because you are worth it!

FINAL THOUGHTS

I hope this has opened your eyes to some new things to try on, share with me below, what’s the area you are going to start working on now?

5 Things To Prioritise For Optimal Health

SHEREE'S PYRAMID OF PRIORITIES - 5 PRIORITIES TO OPTIMISE YOUR HEALTH

16 / MARCH / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

I get asked all the time… How do I lose weight? How do I balance my hormones? How do I heal my gut? Honestly, it all starts HERE, with the 5 priorities I am about to share with you! This is your foundation to health…

TOP 5 PRIORITIES

1. STRESS + SLEEP:

Do not underestimate the impact stress has on your body, this can be food stress, emotional stress, physical stress, mental stress you name it. It triggers inflammation, can negatively impact your gut health and throw your hormones out of whack if you’re constantly producing tonnes of your stress hormone cortisol!

Stress also has a massive impact on our sleep, which as you will know from experience, a poor night's sleep throws you off for the entire day, if not the entire week! Sleep is where we rest, repair, create long-term memories, and recover, in fact it is arguably THE most important thing we should be doing for our health as humans.

YET, we tend to be completely okay sacrificing it time and time again for more things that are creating stress in our life. A lack of sleep not only tells your body to store more fat, but also encourages you to overeat (and not the good stuff), you typically reach for quick fixes of energy - like sugar and caffeine!

You have to be managing your stress and getting enough sleep, this is a NON-NEGOTIABLE for achieving your goals… focus on having set boundaries around your work hours, and getting 7 - 9 hours sleep EVERY single night!

2. SIMPLE WHOLE FOODS:

Forget diets, eat REAL food, you know, the stuff without an ingredients list (or a minimal one), your body knows what to do with it! Yup… if you can’t pronounce the ingredient, chances are your body doesn’t know how to use it and it provides no nutritional value.

In fact, REAL foods like your meat, poultry, fish, fruits and veggies do not even come with an ingredients list. These are the kinds of foods your diet should be rich in. When you look at your plate, you should be asking yourself, is that enough protein? Is that enough greens? What NUTRIENTS am I getting!

Then once you know your nutrient intake is great, you can weave in things that are sometimes foods if you want to. It is about balance, but whole real foods should make up at least 80% of your diet.

3. SUPPORT + SELF-CARE:

Don’t expect yourself to know how to do everything or to do everything for everyone else. Self-care and support go hand in hand. This can literally look like asking for more help from the people around you…

Remember, how easily you say yes to everyone and want to support, well others love to help too. It is OKAY to ask for help and it is okay to receive it too! Sharing the load makes for a much happier environment and YOU! Also, make it a non-negotiable to have at least 5 minutes of YOU time daily and an hour a week if you can, doing something you love!

If you want to take your health to the next level, and aren’t sure to start, it is worth investing in yourself. I cannot tell you how much my health has been fast tracked through having the support and guidance from coaches.

4. STRENGTH TRAINING:

Ladies… LIFT! If you want to boost your metabolism, support optimal hormone production, and feel empowered, start moving some weights! I cannot stress this enough. No matter what age you are, this will support your health and well-being.

And NO it isn’t going to make you bulky, in fact it will help lean you out, get your bones stronger and of course help you feel stronger and fitter within yourself!

Remember… We all start somewhere, so if it's 1kg or 100kg, you got this! Join a gym, take part in a group fitness program, whatever it looks like, but start picking up some weight. It doesn’t have to replace your exercise currently, but see if it can become something you do 2 - 3 x a week. The results will speak for themselves!

5. SUPPLEMENTS:

This is NOT a one size fits all! Make sure you’re supporting your body with the nutrients that we can’t get enough of through food, or are being depleted by stress! Unfortunately, when it comes to supplements, you definitely want to be careful what you put in the body as not all supplements are created equal!

The other side of the supplement equation is that they do play a very important role! Nowadays our soils aren’t being replenished with the nutrients they once were and this leads to deficiencies of nutrients in our food supply, like zinc, iodine and selenium! And if they aren’t in the soil then they aren’t in our food and then we can’t get them!

So, I recommend that you speak to a qualified health-care provider (like myself) when choosing supplements so you aren’t just taking anything off the shelves!

Gut Friendly Spaghetti And Meatballs Recipe

GUT FRIENDLY SPAGHETTI + MEATBALLS RECIPE

23 / FEBRUARY / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

Prep Time: 15 - 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 - 35 minutes
Yields: 2 servings

As someone who struggled with gut issues most of my life, I always found it hard to find recipes that didn’t upset my tummy… cause bloating or weird and ‘wonderful’ bowel movements.

Which is why when I started working with clients on healing their gut, and during my own healing journey I started to play around with recipes! In fact, inside Reclaim Your Radiance - my signature gut healing 12 week program, I had a chef design the recipes so that they were super tasty!

This recipe I whipped up the other day, it was so simple and delicious I had to share! I hope you enjoy it!

P.S. If you struggle with chickpeas, the pasta should be a lot easier to break down. If you want to avoid it altogether or need a lower carb alternative, I love konjac noodles, not much flavour but the texture is great, otherwise zucchini noodles are always super easy.

INGREDIENTS

250g beef/venison/lamb mince
8 button mushrooms (chopped)
1 red capsicum (finely sliced)
1 handful of baby spinach (roughly chopped)
1 can tinned tomatoes (I used one with basil + oregano added)
100g chickpea fettuccine/spaghetti or 300g konjac pasta - any variety or 2 x sprialised zucchini
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. oregano
Salt + pepper to taste

METHOD

Get a medium sized pot, fill it with water and bring to a boil.
Place the mince of your choice into a bowl, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil and oregano, mix thoroughly through with a fork or spoon.
Using a spoon, grab a tablespoon size of the mince and roll into a ball and place to the side, repeat the process until you have used up all the mince.
Rinse and chop up the capsicum, spinach and mushrooms.
Place a medium-sized saucepan on medium to high heat, and add in the olive oil and chopped veggies.
Allow the veggies to brown slightly and start to saute, before adding in the meatballs
Once the water is boiled, add the chickpea pasta and cook as per the back of the packet ~6 - 8 minutes. If you are using the konjac noodles, just rinse in water, drain and set aside. If using zoodles (zucchini noodles), dip in the boiling water for 2 minutes so they soften slightly but not too much.
Once meatballs are completely brown on the outside, pour in the tinned tomatoes, turn the heat down to low-medium, and allow it to simmer for 5 - 8 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked all the way through.
The tomatoes should start to thicken slightly into a sauce as it reduces, and add in a little more salt + pepper here to bring out the flavour.
Remove the pasta from the heat and strain, before placing ½ in your bowl and the other half in a glass container. If you are using konjac pasta do the same.
Remove the pan from the heat and plate half on top of the pasta in the glass container and the other half on the pasta in your bowl, mix the sauce through the pasta and enjoy!

As always, if you do make this, be sure to tag me on social media @shereehannahwellness and let me know what you think :)

ENJOY!

5 Ways To Reset Your Hormones After The Holidays

5 WAYS TO RESET YOUR HORMONES AFTER THE HOLIDAYS

26 / JANUARY / 2022

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

It has been said that the worst month for PMS is January… So if you have been feeling this, know you are not alone, AND there is plenty you can do to reset those hormones so you can avoid any more PMS or period dramas!

Despite the fact that about 95% of women experience at least ONE PMS symptom a month… When it comes to PMS, period pain, hormonal acne, mood swings, bloating, irregular cycles (all the fun things that as women we are led to believe are normal) are in fact NOT!

Which is why a huge part of my mission is to help women heal, so they can live healthy, balanced lives, pain and symptom free!

So, ready to dive in… here are 5 ways to reset your hormones after the holidays.

5 WAYS TO RESET YOUR HORMONES

Assess the Stress

The first thing to throw our hormones off is stress. Now this might not have been the typical stress that your body is used to going through from your work and normal routines.

When you are on holiday or having a break from normality, a different kind of stress tends to creep in… whether that is less sleep, poor food choices, boundaries crossed, less exercise or more alcohol, they are all a stress on the body!

So, before you go trying a bajillion supplements, and going all out at the gym, take a look at what stresses you did have over the break and what you currently have on your plate and look at how you can support your body through it.

This might look like taking more time for yourself in the morning to start the day in a grounded way. Or saying NO to working late, or taking on new projects. It is important to protect your energy and manage your stress levels if you want healthy balanced hormones!

Detoxify Your Liver

The liver typically takes the brunt of the load over the silly season, and so it is important to give it some extra love (especially if you didn’t during the madness).

If you don’t support the liver and it’s detoxification pathways, you can actually end up storing excess hormones, or throwing off the balance of the hormones in the body - for example - estrogen!

And too much of anything isn’t good, so you want to keep your hormones balanced nicely by adding in plenty of cruciferous veggies like kale, cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower to your main meals. These support phase two of liver detoxification.

Staying hydrated also helps the liver flush the toxins out, and adding a little lemon to the water definitely adds to the benefits of detoxifying. Not to mention taking a break from the alcohol and processed foods to ease the liver load!

Exercise in Sync with Your Cycle

Exercise can go astray on a break, or you may fall out of sync with your natural pattern! So the easiest way to reset is to come back to your cycle.

Start training in sync with your 4 phases - follicular, ovulatory, luteal and menstrual, and listening to your body and what it needs as you transition. This helps the body stay in tune with your infradian rhythm (your monthly cyclic rhythm). If you want to dive deeper into this I have a blog for you here!

Support Your Circadian Rhythm

Yes, us lucky females have both an infradian rhythm and a circadian rhythm, and holiday periods tend to throw off our body clock! So if you have found your nights getting later and later and it is harder to get out of bed in the mornings then this is your sign to reset that body clock!

Start by winding down half an hour earlier, get some blue light glasses, or switch off devices so that the brain doesn’t feel ON, then see if you can move your bedtime slowly back to where you know you feel good!

Maybe remove the afternoon coffee that is giving you a buzz, and start listening to your natural rhythms to help you not only sleep earlier, but better so you can wake up feeling refreshed! Because in order for our hormones to be happy, our circadian rhythm needs to be balanced.

Do My 4 Day Gut Reset

If you are wanting to give the body a good reset, cleanse the gut, and any bad bugs that may have built up over the silly season, or if your cycles have become irregular or too heavy, then my 4 day gut reset is the perfect mini-makeover for your insides!

This 4-day gut reset helps reboot the microbiome, restore your energy, bring mental clarity and focus as well as help balance the hormones as you are starting at the root! If you are interested in giving this a go click here or if you have further questions on it, DM me @shereehannahwellness on IG!

FINAL THOUGHTS

Remember, your hormones didn’t become unbalanced overnight, so they aren’t going to reset overnight either, it is a matter of being consistent and continuing to implement the tips above as needed to support your body and hormones to be healthy!

Mental Health And Gut Health

HOW GUT HEALTH IMPACTS YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

22 / SEPTEMBER / 2021

SHEREE'S HEALTH DIARIES

It’s becoming common knowledge that your gut is in fact your second brain… did you know they are actually made up of the same tissue! That is one of the reasons why they communicate so effectively!

Have you ever had that feeling where you just know in your gut, that something is right, or wrong? That is both intuition and your little microbes and gut trying to communicate with you.

It’s often strange when I first talk to clients about this, how little of an impact they are aware of their food on their mood, yet after a few weeks in, it is one of the biggest changes they witness… not only their moods, but their overall mindset has lifted!

Our gut is home to trillions (let me say that again… TRILLIONS 1,000,000,000,000… yes that many zeros of microbes! Little organisms that you are playing host to inside of your gut. Isn’t it just crazy when you think about it. That is more microbes than human cells. It is no wonder they have such an impact on our health.

HOW GUT HEALTH & MENTAL HEALTH ARE LINKED

Hippocrates said around 2500 years ago, that ‘ALL DISEASE BEGINS IN THE GUT’ and in my humble opinion he wasn’t wrong, nor was he just talking about physical disease either. Mental health is a disease that is becoming more widespread, particularly in the last 18 months… The state of the world has fast tracked this for a huge number of people.

During the lockdowns in Europe, medications for anxiety and depression went up by around 70%, suicide rates skyrocketed, and EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE felt the impact that this pandemic has had on their mental state.

It is Mental Health Awareness Week here in New Zealand, and it is of the utmost importance that we start to bring more and more attention to this as a growing pandemic of it’s own.

One of the key ways to support our mental health that often surprises people is actually through our food, and supporting our microbiome (gut environment), as this is where 95% of our serotonin is produced (your happiness hormone).

In all honesty, to think the two are unrelated would be completely misguided!

HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR GUT HEALTH

When it comes to supporting our gut health for our mental health, you want to focus on eating whole, real foods, the less processed the better (the bad bacteria LOVE sugar). You also want to include things that grow the good guys like a high quality probiotic - BePure and Just Thrive are two of my favourite brands when it comes to this! Probiotics are great at crowding the bad guys out, and supporting a repopulation of your microbiome.

I actually have a number of my clients do a gut healing protocol to not only support the microbiome, but help with their mental health… this is inside my Reclaim Your Radiance Program, but I did create a 2 week reset for your gut health if you want to check it out here!

I have had a number of clients come off their anxiety or depression medication as a result of healing their gut, but if this is you I advise you do so under supervision of a doctor and work with a holistic nutritionist.

Also, it may sound strange, but to support both your mental health, and allow the gut to produce optimal levels of serotonin, do a bit of a dopamine detox! High levels of dopamine production (our addictive, to-do list hormone), depletes the production of serotonin.

So try to stay away from screens for a day, or immerse yourself in nature, journal or meditate and get to a place of stillness to allow the body to recharge it’s serotonin stores!

Finally, mental health is a battle, it is an illness, and often those struggling the most will not reach out for support, so please… check in on your friends and family, give smiles and hugs, share love and warmth, you never know just how much of a difference it makes.

I am here for you too, always!

Yours in Health,
