Is your gut health optimal? Our diets and lifesty

Is your gut health optimal?

Our diets and lifestyles have changed dramatically over the last 100 years and not necessarily for the better.

So why is gut health so important?

• 70-80% of the immune system is located in your gut.

• The gut helps fight infections and maintain good health.

• Nutrients are assimilated in the gut.

• Toxins and wastes are excreted through the gut.

Some signs your gut may be suffering are:

1. Constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and gas

2. Food intolerances and food allergies

3. Joint and muscle pain

4. Headaches

5. Allergies

6. Autoimmune disease

7. Skin issues: acne, dryness, rosacea

8. Depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues

9. Hormonal imbalance: thyroid problems, PMS etc.

10. Inability to lose/gain weight

The good thing is that the gut is inherently designed to be self-healing and self-cleaning.

Some steps you can take today to keep your gut healthy are:

🥦 Adopt a diverse nutrient-dense #plantbased diet. Only plants have fibre, which feeds and nourishes the gut microbiome for optimal health.

🍷 Reduce alcohol consumption. Alcohol dramatically affect the gut microbiome.

😴 Sleep 7-9 hours. Insomnia affects immune function and the microbe community in the gut.

🥛 Remove dietary triggers. Dairy, sugars, gluten, processed and refined foods are all highly inflammatory to the gut.

If you need help healing, I can help you optimize your gut health and balance hormones so that you can lose belly fat, get rid of sugar cravings, get a great night's sleep and regain your "Alegria de la Vida"! If you're interested in Download my free Thrive - Don't Just Survive guide. Link in bio.

Protein bars, or are they? Learning to read the l

Protein bars, or are they?

Learning to read the labels is essential to getting around the clever marketing used by manufacturers to sell you a fat or carbohydrate bar disguised as a protein bar.

You see, carbs and proteins have four calories per gram, while fat has nine. So if a typical “protein” bar may have approximately 200 calories, 12g protein and 7g fat, at a glance, you may think this is a decent low-fat good protein bar. However, it also contains 30g of carbs, and when we do the math, we quickly realize that this is more a fat and carb bar than a protein one.

The same applies to all packaged/processed foods you purchase. It's a numbers game manufacturers play to trick consumers into buying something they think is “healthy” when in reality, it's usually no more than a high fat and refined carbs, food-like substance. Another reason why I strongly advocate getting most of your calories from whole foods with a small percentage from minimally processed ones.

If you want to start thriving without cutting out nutrients, fake foods or fad diets, I can help you. Set up a discovery call through the link in my bio, and let's get started!

When it comes to eating bread, sourdough is the way to go. It is the oldest form of leavened bread; humans have been eating it as part of a natural diet for a long, long time.

Some benefits include:

1. It is easy to digest
2. It has a lower glycemic index
3. Better for gluten-sensitivity
4. More “good acid”
5. Provides healthy bacteria
6. Less yeast
7. Fewer preservatives

These loaves were freshly baked in my kitchen this morning, and I wish I could share the smell and taste with you 🤗

Do you eat sourdough?

As 2021 comes to a close, and I reflect on what was, I realize that although it was not the year I expected, it was still one of many great accomplishments and beautiful new friendships.

In 2021....

• The Livin La Vida Plant Based podcast was released, and I’ve had the privilege of interviewing some great experts in the wellness industry
• I continued to invest in myself and joined TEV, a business coaching program where I met some amazing like-minded women
• Made to Thrive has helped some beautiful ladies make dietary and lifestyle changes towards great health
• I furthered my education in plant based nutrition and graduated with honours

What I'm most proud of tho is watching my girls boss up and go after the life they want.

Thanks to all of you on here that have shown me so much love and support throughout my journey this year, I appreciate you.

Cheers to a goal crushing 2022!🥂🎉

Do you find navigating the holidays difficult when

Do you find navigating the holidays difficult when it comes to your diet and lifestyle?

The holidays can be a very stressful and difficult time for some of us when it comes to our diet and lifestyle.

Holiday parties, food, drinks, family and friends can all throw a wrench into our daily routines.

Here are some pro tips to stay on track mentally and physically during the holidays.

🥗 Eat before you go. Eating a nutrient-dense nourishing meal before heading out ensures you won't overindulge in high fat, refined carbs and sugary foods.

🍹Watch out for empty calories in alcohol. Instead of the eggnog, choose a vodka soda with lime or lemon.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Make your self-care a priority. Carve out time to meditate, journal or do yoga to decrease the season's stress.

💦 Hydrate. Drinking plenty of water aids with digestion, metabolism and helps the body eliminate fat.
