How I help

Love seeing the summer fruit starting already on my tower! What do you like growing?

Picky eating isn’t just for kids. Join me on zoom as I go beyond the standard advice and share ideas about what might be driving picky eating from a reformed picky eater. I don’t share this often so be sure to mark your calendar!

Salad for breakfast. Kind of. When you have a simple way to grow some of your own food it means no rotting greens hiding in the fridge and it also means max nutrition per bite cause it’s SO fresh. What do you want to grow? #greensmoothie #growyourownveg #healthyeating #balancedeating #powerbreakfast #healthcoach #nbchwccertified #momlife #nutritionmadeeasy

What do you think when I say 'Cleanse Lifestyle'? I'm talking about the habits, from shopping to sweating, that help lower our toxin load which helps level the playing field in your efforts to be healthy. What do you think of these ideas? What sounds hard? What sounds easy or are you already doing? It's far from. a comprehensive list but I hope it gives you insight into hte concept. Reducing your toxins is a key part of your path to health and wellness that is too often treated as an afterthought to your way of eating and your habit of moving. Like and follow to keep learning with ne and take the intimidation away. You are only intimidated cause it's a whole new topic and it sounds scary. But it's not. It's changing your shopping habits and being intentional about the pillars of being healthy and well.

My mission is to help people take care of themselves so they have the health to chase their joy. This day not only did I help hand out fresh Whole Foods to food insecure families, but I got to see the company I’ve partnered with for a decade in action living their parallel mission of helping people live healthier lives around the world. This time it was local. These families got over $170 worth of whole food nourishment from the foundation in addition to the large bag of fresh produce with things like celery, bell peppers, large bag of both onions and sweet potatoes as well as eggs and beans. So proud to be a Juice Plus partner as part of how I serve my clients!!

Healthy hot chocolate may seem unholy in some circles but it’s delicious! It’s pouring rain around here and I was craving something warm but nourishing. Voila! #cleaneats

It’s easy to clean and a favorite in my kitchen. Just google Almond Cow! @almondcow thanks for making it so simple!! #nontoxickitchen #nontoxichome #coulditbetoxins #foodqualitycontrol #healthcoachlife

If you are a person concerned about the impact of toxins on your health and planet, growing some of your own food using 98% less water than soil grown produce combined with the local, super fresh better than organic standard of home grown worth the time to come listen. Please join me to learn how this black thumb (me) has been successfully growing on the awesome aero pic tower for a decade. It’s not much work and gives you money savings and control of your food. See you Sunday.

Are another person who has been watching my posts about how I grow my family nourishing clean food for my family and bunnies? Think it’s time to learn more? DM me for the invite for this Sunday night or drop an emoji of something you want to grow at home. #saynotochemicals #chemicalfreehome #healthcoachforwomen #coulditbetoxins #pickyeatersolutions #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #NBCHWC # home gardening #homegardening #homegardening101 #homegardeninggardeningtips #accoutabilitycoach #saynotochemicals #cleaneatingtips #chemicalfreehome #nourishyourself #nutritiongoals #healthcoachforwomen #coulditbetoxins #setgoals #HealthyHabitsCoach #NBCHWC #healthylifestylechange

Hair care is a tough change. I experimented a lot and did a ton of research before trying this line. And I’m hooked. Smells wonderful through essential oils. Has solutions for ever texture. Healed my hair and allowed it to regrow. And I love that I can message a stylist via their website to figure out what is right for my level of curl and the like. B-corp, which speaks to me. They take care of me with clean products but also the planet. It’s so great to not have to choose.

Cleaning without toxins is your best choice and this gadget makes proven nontoxic cleaner. Laundry, kitchen, bath and so much more. Pet safe. Been using it a couple of years now and find new uses all the time.

Thank you @simplekneads_gf for making delicious fresh nutritious GF bread! This is Day 2 of my 12 Days of Favs. I’ve eaten, and frankly spat out a lot of gluten- free bread after 16 years of having to stay strictly gluten-free. Most GF foods are high in sugar and very low on nutrition. With the really tasty breads from Simple Kneads you can have great flavor, texture and nutrition. Love that it drop ships when I need it, fresh as can be! Stocking up my freezer from the recent sale!!

Day 1- Growing your own food is a great way to take control of your food quality. These towers allow me to control the quality of the water and seedlings ( cause I can kill mint and still grow beautiful produce on this thing), plant nutrients and zero pesticides. And the transportation is just from my front door to kitchen. Even my local farmers market can’t do that. We have grown yearvround on this for a decade. Can’t imagine how much money we have saved. Leave a plant you want to grow below for more info. and don’t forget to follow for to catch the whole list!

If healthy eating is on your to-do list, but not getting done, please join me this Wednesday. Barbie Axe and I, both Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coaches, will be sharing tips and tricks to make small but impactful changes for more energy an better digestion. DM for the zoom link. and bring friends and family. #accoutabilitycoach #nocookingrequired #nutritiongoals #coulditbetoxins #pickyeatersolutions #powerbreakfast #setgoals #HealthyHabitsCoach #CleanseLifestyle #NBCHWC #healthylifestylechange

Love watching these babies start to grow! Stay tuned for weekly updates!! #cleanfood #freshproducemarket #waterwisegardening #watchitgrow

Together with my 13 year old daughter we carved and boxed so many turkeys alongside almost a dozen other volunteers for Union Station. Today and tomorrow other crews will prep the rest of the meal. They will feed 4K people on Thursday. #unionstationpasadena #givingbackfeelsgood #ncl #feedingthehungry

Without this thing I am a plant killer. With it, and shipped seedlings, I grow abundant food for the family and our bunnies. #gratefulfortechnology #cleaneatingideas #cleanfoodmatters #freshfooddaily

I do love the November gratitude focus. But I've seen so much misunderstanding about it. This quote finds a healthier balance to me- its that what you have is all there can be and so suck it up and be grateful. It is about seeing the whole, both what you already have, big and small, and cherishing it, but also knowing what will bring more into your life that will bring you joy thereby creating space to bring it into reality from an unspoken wish #accoutabilitycoach #saynotochemicals #nourishyourself #nutritiongoals #healthcoachforwomen #coulditbetoxins #MindBodyConnection #HealthyHabitsCoach #ProgressNotPerfection #healthylifestylechange #NBCHWC

If you know me you know I"ve been into toxins for a very long time. Decades actually. I've been health coaching for a decade now and find people keep tucking toxins in as an afterthought in the conversations around health. Folks. I'm here to tell you they are connected to every health condition- blood sugar, sex hormones, thyroid, cancers, and so much more. So let's talk. About how the stuff in your house can be changed to make your home a health conducive space supporting the healthy eating and movement you are doing. Or start there if you are overwhelmed and doing not much so far. Cause if you don't address the toxins you are making it a steeper uphill climb to health.

We have a tasty tradition at our house. Living in drought country, my kids rarely experienced rain. When we do it means it’s cold. So we do homemade hot chocolate. 1 cup organic pastured whole orange 2% milk 1 tablespoon raw coco or a coco/ reishi mushroom blend- not the commercial hot coco mix 1/2 teaspoon raw sugar And a little organic raw whipped cream. And a dash of delicious, blood sugar moderating cinnamon Happy rainy day!!

My morning happy place! Tea, if it’s not doused in fertilizers and artificial flavors, is a mighty nutrition rich drink. Matcha, which has lots of science behind it, is not only delicious but super supportive of our waste removal systems.

Here is the recipe for this am’s smoothie. so yummy! I love my flavors strong so I more than doubled the pumpkin spice. Skipped the banana as I had a sweet sweet Fuji apple. #easybreakfast #balancedbreakfast #coulditbetoxins #everydaydetox #detoxdaily #environmentaltoxins #environmentalhealth #lowdosesmatter #healthcoach #healthcoaching #healthandwellnesscoach #wellnesscoaching #womenshealthcoach #nutrientsmatter #adhdnutrition #adhdawareness #childnutrition #anxiety #Anxietynutrion #foodmoodconnection #integrativehealth #immunehealth #guthealthmatters

Could you use a super simple breakfast? Then you need to start making overnight oats!! It’s been a surprise hit with one of my teens who was fed up with our usual breakfasts. It's so easy to make several days worth of breakfasts all at one time. Top them with different fruits and nuts and seeds to get a different breakfast every day! I add Complete mix to mine to get extra plant nutrients, protein, and fibre. My favourite things about Complete are that it's super clean, full of fibre, made entirely of plants and helps me to have more energy and manage appetite. Hubby likes vanilla best. I love the chocolate. It’s super delicious!! #powerbreakfast #evenmyteenwilleatit #pickyeatersolutions #coulditbetoxins #healthcoachforwomen #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #saynotochemicals #cleaneatingtips #chemicalfreehome #nocookingrequired #nutritiongoals #nourishyourself

Got a rush rush day and can see I may not hit my daily goal on servings of produce. So I’m lining up my favorite daily essentials to top up my best effort. #nutritionalsupplements #healthyeatinghabits #momlifehacks

This moment of peace and quiet is shared from cottage country. I’m taking time here to work out what programs and when to offer for the upcoming year. Stay tuned for a realignment as I listen to what challenges people are facing and solutions I have found. It’s all in cocoon mode now but soon the butterfly will emerge.

I’m so excited to be asked to present on this topic! I’m guest speaking to a huge FB group but you can jump into the zoom live directly! Got anyone in the house, kid or adult, you think is picky about their food? I hear ya. I’m a recovered picky eater and one of my kids is the same. I learned a lot between our two journeys, including that the standard advice forgets to ask why it’s happening. I’ll briefly cover that standard advice and then go on to some interesting things to consider that were never part of the general conversation when I was looking into things. Come for the LIVE ZOOM. After a presentation of about 30 minutes we will turn the recording off and do a brief Q&A. It will also be live streamed into a FB group if you would rather that but no Q&A there. Put it in your calendar now so you don’t miss it! No replay!!! You can grab 12 page eGuide via my link in the bio!

What’s in your summer vacation fridge? You can see our plant milks and veggies, veggies, veggies. If it were my place the bbq’d zucchini, cauliflower etc would be in glass. What is not here that’s in your fridge?

Cottage time in summer is a treat but that doesn’t mean we need to downgrade what we eat. I live a good BBQ but still love the veggies! We prepped a couple of days worth of veggies and grilled them up. Cauliflower, zucchini, mushrooms, asparagus , fennel. And burgers. No bun or half a whole grain one. A healthy lifestyle isn’t focusing on giving things up. It’s about finding new things you love and that serve your brain and body not just taste buds. Think about it. What might you add to the grill next time to start to tip the balance in favor of your whole self? #healthybbq #levelupyourfood #incrementallifestylechange #healthcoachlife #progressnotperfection #dailycleansehabits #healthymealplanning #cottagelifestyle #healthycottagelife #summerhealthyeating #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife

One delicious summer tradition for our family is stopping here to get spring fed clean unprocessed( but frequently tested) water. I’ve cold and fresh and oooh so good. Some fill a water bottle. Others several of the 5 gallon jugs. Makes THE best tea!!

I’ll be back in a couple of weeks.

So so true. Often when we are low energy it’s about how we are eating. I’m a big proponent of a great breakfast as a starting place each and every day. That’s first calories of the day, whether liquid or solid, at whatever time.

What’s your fave easy lunch that’s healthy? This has been a go to health lunch for 15 years. If I don’t have a simple vinaigrette made already I pull out the avocado or olive oil, a tasty vinegar I have on hand and any herb mix that feels right and drop it straight in top!

To all the mothering women, however you come to give the gift to another, you are making the world a kinder more connected place. Wishing you a day of feeling fulfilled, appreciated and connected to the various families you are part of.

Do you talk to yourself like your harshed critic or your best friend? Do you beg for help in your mind but not out loud? What you SAY matters, to you and others. Ask for help out loud. Those who speak up usually find their issue isn't unique and with enough speaking up you often find community. that's gold, emotionally. And if you mutter insults to yourself out loud.... that's the first habit to break. When you catch yourself doing so, correct yourself out loud. Our brain most believe what it hears itself say. So speak kindly and respectfully to yourself of your efforts, your gratitude, and your need for support. Cause we all need it in some way, for some parts of our lives. Connectedness is a vital trait in our species. We don't age well without it. No kidding.

Health coach tip. Ginger is a natural anti nausea food. I don’t drink sweet drinks much if ever. But when the ocean waves are big and we re heading out hearing people talk about getting seasick- I shop for Natural ginger beer for its high concentration of crushed ginger. Wish me luck. Best if you ingest bout n hour head of time. #helthcoachtips #naturlremediesonthego #kayakingadventures #healthcoachlife

Ooh, @parakeetcafe, what a joy! Breakfast was blue corn waffle (gf) with egg, smoky sauce, egg, mountains of avocado and delicious toppings! A savory waffle! S many delicious Gluten Free and or vegan options. Delicious chai and moon milk- oat milk with turmeric, ashwaghanda, ginger, cardamom and not what else. All four of us loved our breakfast! What a great, healthy way to start our trip! #glutenfreelajolla #glutenfreetravel #healthcoachonholidays

Kids love pasta but salad not so much? Maybe it’s too cold out to crave a side salad? I put my spinach salad in my sauce and the kids accept. Actually, one time I forgot to put it in and the younger one reminded me. There is nothing wrong with adding veggies into what you are cooking. It’s not sneaking. It’s an ingredient. #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #pickyeatingtips #nutritionbooster #veggiesfirst

Are you ready to talk?

Upgraded dinner last night! Enchiladas with gluten free corn free tortillas, very light cheese, chicken, and topped with black beans for fiber and loads of organic chopped spinach from my freezer!

Mmmm. Breakfast. Are you rocking your best breakfast so you can rock your me day? I leveled up the breakfast I grew up with- 2 eggs and whole grain toast, to add about a cup and a half of finely chopped spinach then a load of Pluck, my current fav flavor which is also a nutrition booster. So I’m getting my protein and a huge spinach ‘salad’ to kick off my day. #pluck #breakfastmatters #proteinbreakfasts #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #proteinpacked  #proteinrecipes  #healthybreakfastideas

Someone asked me today why I love my towers so much. Not hte first time. Let me lay this out simply. Four things make it a no-brainer for me. 1- it's WAY easier than soil gardening- which matters cause I can kill mint AND poinsettias! 2- It saves 98% of the water used per amount of produce compared to the best organic growing practices. I'm in Souther California where water shortage is a big deal. 3- I can control the water quality- I filter it. In commercial growing, the press has reported on the fact that organic standards have no regulations on water quality and according to my naturopath, lots of people are having increasing levels of the heavy metal thallium because fracking water is being used on crops in the midwest and it is in that water. So yeah, growing myself is 'cleaner' than organic. 4- Cost savings: even though I buy seedlings, I def save money over buying produce. But it's also a savings over soil gardening b/c I'm useing SO MUCH LESS WATER and not having to 'amend the soil' and other things each season. Never did figure out how to do that but without it things did grow so well the next year. My original tower is about 9 years old now. So that works for me for durability. And for my cold climate friends, there is an indoor-only version. If you are looking ahead at a food garden for you or someone you love (say a less mobile mom or aunt, or someone in an apartment), let's talk. I'm on a mission to make it easier for people to eat better, take better care of themselves and the environment, and am happy to answer questions and mentor you on growing in one of these. Oh, and they are available in the US, Canada, and soon UK.

Whether you ‘eat breakfast’ or not, our first foods of the day set us up for energy, focus and stable moods. I always start my clients with balancing sleep and breakfast. Cause of those two habits are t locked down will power won’t be there to make other changes. So set yourself, and everyone in the house up for a better day. Check one of the healthy eating boxes! Download and trying out some better-for-you first foods of the day in my eBook full of recipes and understanding about how to build a healthy smoothie, and so much more. #proteinpacked #proteinrecipes #healthybreakfastideas�#healthybreakfastclub #healthyeatinghabits #healthyeatingrecipes�#proteinmeals #eatcleanrecipes #eatcleangetlean #eatcleantrainhard #Cleaneatingbreakfast #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange

When I taught in schools about healthy eating we talk about quality and balance. It’s not ‘never eat….’ But are you eating mostly the stuff that serves your body and mind and emotions or mostly to entertain your mouth. This burger is carmelized onion, sprouts, and mushrooms on a grass fed lamb burger with lots of healthy herbs in the meat for flavor. And you can’t tell but it’s a little small. And a huge salad on the side. Quality and balance can still delight the mouth. #healthierfoodchoices #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife 10 Pillars and findable and attitude #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #healthyhabitscoach #fastfood #cleaneating #GlutenFree #GlutenFreeLife #nutrientsmatter #childnutrition #foodmoodconnection #integrativehealth #immunehealth #guthealthmatters

Took advantage of a break in our desperately needed rain to hike to this seasonal waterfall with a friend and our dogs. Lots of walking across or over fallen trees, stepping on rocks to cross and recross the rushing stream. #naturetime #selfcareideas #healthcoachlife #minihike #hikewithdogs #healthyhabitsforlife #healthyhabiteffect

Feel good time this week. We donated a soil free food growing tower to the kitchen of our local unhoused population service center. The chef is excited to grow loads of herbs and more so she can boost the nutrition and flavor in the food she creates for the residents while saving money for the rest of the groceries. Cause everyone deserves nourishing food. #healthcoachlife #nutririon4all #volunteerwork #givingback

Do you food prep? We have twice levels of veggies roasting, and are cooking down mushrooms in a bit of ghee and Marsala all while making carmelized onion for the week.

We all tell ourselves lies. Sometime it matters. We usually do so to avoid unpleasant truths. When it comes to dealing with toxins many are overwhelmed and some know so little they believe it’s either of no consequence or no point. Both are wrong. There is a way to learn, to take action without overwhelm and taking enough control to have an impact. If you are looking to add toxin reduction to how you care for yourself and family, stay with me. It’s full incorporated into my own life as well as my programs and coaching. Because like everything else, it comes down frequently to habits. Like where you shop and what you buy. The transition takes focus but the doing isn’t hard. #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #saynotochemicals #cleaneatingtips #chemicalfreehome

Where I grew up in Canada we werar poppies in remembrance of our veterans today. My cousin kindly added them to this picture of our grandpa in his uniform. Happy Veterans doesn’t feel right to say to me. So veterans all, today I pause in respect for your dedication, choices and experiences. You have my deepest respect. ##respect #vetransday

I had a question from a couple of you about my morning smoothie and fresh greens. This is how I grow them, in front of my house with massive water savings and less effort. I trust my produce to be clean of pesticides and other issues. We grow kale and chard and oodles of lettuce and herbs and always a few experiments- watermelon one time, this season butternut squash. We even have one tower just of food that is safe for our bunnies😂So fun! #gardeningisfun #healthyfood #growhealthy #growhealthyandglowtogether #freshfood #healthcoachlife #affiliatemarketing

My clients are so sweet! It makes my day when they have breakthroughs. OK, maybe it more like makes my week! If you want to see what a cleanse might do for you, this is a great one. It's super flexible to adapt your dietary needs, though already gluten-free and dairy-free. And vegan. but you can add clean meats. See. Flexible. Cause a cleanse shouldn't feel punitive or super restrictive. It should feel like a celebration that is a gift to your body through yummy flavors. At least, that's how I see it. Starting NOW! We are prepping already. Don't hesitate. Just say yes to taking care of yourself. #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #cleanproducts  #detoxification  #cleandiet

Are you still falling asleep with the kids like I did for years? Having the energy to stay up after they go to sleep takes some self-care and some strategy. You may not know this, but how you eat over the day will play into it. Sleep. How and what we eat. How we move. Our toxins exposure. They all help make a difference. Join me for my end of summer Quick and Simple Summer Cleanse and pour into your own cup before the fall sweeps you away.

Quick- on SALE at Whole Foods now, you can get these silicone zip pouches. Terrific in food storage both in the fridge or freezer, lunchboxes and more. When I talk with people about reducing TOXINS, there are two parts. One in releasing what is stuck inside you, and the other is reducing the inflow if you aren’t doing both you get less rewards for your efforts. These Stasher bags are great to stem the inflow, and while there is an upfront cost they last ages. They make a great kitchen upgrade. And no, I’m not an affiliate in this care, just a fan. This is the kind of thing we talk about in my courses. I’d you want to know more about reducing your toxin load be shore to get on my mailing list. I’ve got a cleanse right around the corner and my mailing list people get first notification!

Happy international Dog Day!! Not my topic but oh, I love them so! This is our puppy who is sticking his head out of the second level of the bunny condo! The rabbits were perplexed at his presence🤪😂😂. #internationaldogday #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel #dogsreduceanxiety #funnypuppy

Still a fav salad- cucumber, tomatoes, spicy pecans, avocado and feta in a simple balsamic and olive oil. Can you help me name it?

🔥GREAT TIP for using plastic containers! 🔥 It has to do with knowing which plastics are better for you than others. But first: more and more studies are finding that whenever possible, it’s best to completely avoid using plastic and vinyl products! Glass and steel are better choices. 🚫That’s because the phthalates and bisphenols they contain can affect your health (and your family’s, too). They are linked with reproductive and fertility issues, behavior problems, thyroid issues, asthma, and obesity (among other things). ♻️But if you MUST use plastic, flip the container over and look at its recycling symbol. What number do you see? Here’s a rhyme to help you remember which numbers to choose: “5, 4, 1, and 2, these are the ones that are better for you.” ✅Even so … never put plastic containers in the microwave or dishwasher (especially if they are scratched or showing signs of wear). If at all possible, use glass or metal containers for all your food storage/reheating needs. 🚿BONUS TIP: Ditch your vinyl shower curtain because it probably contains chemicals you don’t want around you – as does the clear cling wrap in your kitchen! Cheap polyester ones without anti mold coating or enhancements are a better choice. Easily found at a discount store. I keep two and wash each week. #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #cleanproducts  #detoxification  #cleandiet

I have a question. What are you doing for yourself when they go back to school? Many of us have kids that went back to school this week. Coming up soon for the resting you. I’ve been alone this week in the house for the second and third time since March 13th, 2020. I have ‘celebrated’ by walking the dog somewhere new, having a beautiful, delicious display tea you see in the picture which I save for days I can sit and contemplate in peace. I’ve taken saunas. I’ve eaten my breakfast slowly and am working the kinks out in a new morning routine. I hope you are looking at your time after what we have communally been through, are reviewing priorities and opportunities and making adjustments too. What have been your little celebration moments with the kids actually being back in school? #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #cleanproducts #detoxification #cleandiet�#healthylifestylechange #saynotochemicals #nourishyourskin�#cleaneatingtips #chemicalfreeliving�#chemicalfreehome

How is your digestion? Seriously. We need to talk about gas and poop more often. I find a lot of my clients are not aware that it’s biologically normal and healthy to poop 1-3 times per day. It’s not uncommon to talk with people who only ‘go’ every 5 days. That means something is off. And it’s more than an inconvenience. It means your aren’t putting the garbage out. So it can fester. Who wants that?! Makes us feel terrible. Saps our energy. Makes out stomachs pooch out. If you want to have a conversation about solutions send me a DM. You don’t need to live with it. #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #cleanproducts  #detoxification  #cleandiet

💥 Hate to break it to you but … … if you wear your shoes out of the house, there’s a good chance there’s poop on them. 💩 Even if you never knowingly step in it! Pretty gross. This is why it’s a good idea to think about going shoe-free in your house! (Preferably beginning in your entryway.) Get this: scientists had people wear brand-new shoes for two weeks and then they sampled the shoes for bacteria. The transfer rate of bacteria from shoes to clean tiles ranges from 90% to 99%!!! Other studies have found a wide range of harmful bacteria on shoes, ranging from E. coli and C. diff to those linked with pneumonia … not to mention pesticides and other chemicals. Those chemicals and toxins coming in on our shoes make up a significant portion of the indoor air pollution in our home. 👉Do you have a shoe-free policy in your home? Are you going to start!? #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #cleanproducts #detoxification #cleandiet�#healthylifestylechange #saynotochemicals #nourishyourskin�#cleaneatingtips #chemicalfreeliving�#chemicalfreehome

🌿Do you have any houseplants in your home?! Or at your office? Did you know they are actually linked with a SURPRISING number of health benefits … including less stress, better air quality, and improved focus. Yup. The right plants can help pull toxins from the air. But careful where you place them and what you choose cause there is a lot of crossover with plants toxic to pets. Let’s see a pic! Share one and tag me on it. :) #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #cleanproducts  #detoxification  #cleandiet

Kinda perfect that #InternationalFriendshipDay falls on #SundayMumday. We NEED friends, at every age. We, as human beings, need connection, at every age, for physical and mental health. So cheers to the friends with whom we laugh, on whose shoulders we have cried, who've driven over the emergency to help out, who send messages out of the blue cause they are thinking about us. Cheers to the real friends, past, present, and everpresent, in our lives! #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifiedHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #healthgoals #Selfcare #loveyourself #wellnessgoals #findyourmotivation #wellnessmotivation #healthylifehappylife

🔥CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC ALERT 🔥 💧Next time you need an energy boost in the middle of the day, ditch the energy drink and guzzle a big glass of water instead. The caffeine, sugar, and stimulants (like taurine) in energy drinks can send your body on a roller coaster ride – giving you a quick dose of ingredients that rev up your central nervous system, and then send it CRASHING back down so you feel even MORE tired. 😵But that’s not all. They also can compound your energy problem by messing with your sleep! 💡A better approach is to drink plenty of water, get a little exercise, and make sure you expose yourself to light (natural sunshine is best). These are the best natural revver-uppers for your body. If you absolutely MUST use something to boost your energy, drink the smallest amount of caffeine possible that gives you a small energy boost but won’t: 1) leave you feeling more tired in an hour or so, and 2) interfere with your sleep. Up for the switch? Try it and see! #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifieHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #healthgoals #Selfcare #loveyourself #wellnessgoals #findyourmotivation #wellnessmotivation #healthylifehappylife #hydrationmatters

Taking a vacation over the next two weeks, mostly off grid so be patient with any inquiries. I look forward to connecting with you when I am back online. In the mean time, I've been slamming hard on the summer cleanse and can't wait to share more when I'm back! Just editing the recipes document was making me hungry! I am going to schedule a couple of posts for while I'm away to keep you going

🔥HELLO, CHOCOLATE-PB BITES! 😍 I have a yummy, healthy, NO-COOK snack recipe for you that can double as an after-workout mini-meal! One thing I LOVE about these protein bites is that once you get the basic recipe down, you can mix up the ingredients based on what you have on hand. 👉Add cinnamon … cocoa … try a different flavor protein powder …or a different nut butter (sunflower seed is an allergy friendly option!). You can even swap out the instant oats for quinoa flakes . Or you can keep them “oatier” by not grinding oats first. The possibilities are endless! 💡Plus, this will save you SO MUCH MONEY if you ever buy protein bars or other “healthy” snacks. EVEN BETTER, it will give you more control over the quality of ingredients you eat. Chocolate-PB Energy Bites (makes 12-14 1-2 inch balls) ● ¾ cup (60 grams) instant oats or quinoa flakes ● ¼ cup (70 grams) chocolate protein powder (your favorite) ● ½ cup (50 grams) almond flour ● ¼ cup (65 grams) unsweetened almond or peanut butter ● ½ tsp vanilla extract ● 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey Grind the oats in a high-speed blender or food processor and pour them into a bowl. Add the protein powder, almond flour, and nut butter. Stir the ingredients together and then add the vanilla and maple syrup and, using your hands, form it into a thick batter. If the mixture seems really dry, add more peanut butter or maple syrup/honey. Now, roll into balls (1-2 inches/2.5-5 cm) and put them on a plate. Place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, then place in a tightly sealed container (or freezer-safe bag). These will keep for a month in the fridge or 2 months in the freezer.

If meal planning is one of your challenge areas, you might consider a meal kit or meal planning service. Meal kits send you all the ingredients, with lots of choices ahead of special diets and other preferences, often have choices for how many dinners a week, whether it is weekly or every other week and more. Meal planning services come in many shapes and sizes- from a month of suggested recipes for you to cook or switch up as pleases you, to picking and assembling your own meal plan from their recipes, sometimes also being able to add your own recipes into the mix. We, the home chefs of the family, spend an extraordinary amount of time dealing with food- planning, making lists, acquiring, prepping, cooking, cleaning up, etc. If you are looking for a way to simplify, consider getting a little help this way.

Do you talk to yourself like your harshed critic or your best friend? Do you beg for help in your mind but not out loud? What you SAY matters, to you and others. Ask for help out loud. Those who speak up usually find their issue isn't unique and with enough speaking up you often find community. that's gold, emotionally. And if you mutter insults to yourself out loud.... that's the first habit to break. When you catch yourself doing so, correct yourself out loud. Our brain most believe what it hears itself say. So speak kindly and respectfully to yourself of your efforts, your gratitude, and your need for support. Cause we all need it in some way, for some parts of our lives. Connectedness is a vital trait in our species. We don't age well without it. No kidding.

It's National Clean Beauty Day! 🌞🕶What’s your favorite brand of sunscreen? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Wearing it every day is definitely something that “future you” will be grateful for! 👉It will help protect you against skin cancer AND can help fight premature aging of your skin. And if you think a hat and turning your back to the sun might be enough, you are wrong. I tried that. HId as much as I could. Still ended up with a small spot of skin cancer at the base of my neck by my shoulder. It finally made me hunt for a sunscreen I didn't hate wearing. In honor of #NationalCleanBeautyDay let's talk quality. It's not enough to just slather. You need to choose good stuff. There are two basic categories of sunscreen- chemical and mineral. Being trained in toxins, I've come to be very wary of chemical sunscreens. I've used mineral ones for years. The Environmental Working Group (www.EWG.com) does a sunscreen review every year and that's how I found my favorite. I've always hated wearing sunscreen but this stuff I"m happy to wear. Feels good, actually. My personal favorite is Badger Active Broad Spectrum SPF 30, Unscented! I keep a tube in my purse all the time. It 98% organic ingredients and clear zinc oxide. I've hated the way I felt in sunscreen my whole life til I found this stuff. Goes on smooth and isn't very whitening. It's easy to find both online and at healthier grocery stores. #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifieHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #healthgoals #Selfcare #loveyourself #wellnessgoals #findyourmotivation #wellnessmotivation #healthylifehappylife #NatioanlCleanBeautyDay

In lots of families, picky eaters and or different diet restrictions within the household can make meal planning and eating together very difficult. In my house, we have 2 gluten-free eaters, one vegan by choice with a dairy allergy, and one who will eat just about anything. We all love lots of flavors and three of us are supertasters. So, yeah, I know it can be hard. My favorite workaround for this issue is to build your own meals- you know, items cooked separately and combined at serving time so people can omit their issues and load up on favorites. A few ideas for this: 1- Tacos- everyone builds to taste 2- Buddha bowl- with layers of veggies, meat, and a sauce 3- Bibimbap- it's a Korean dish- a layer of rice, then sections of various cooked veggies on top, a protein, and a little sauce 4- Vietnamese spring rolls- at our house, that's ground pork cooked in spices, match sticks of cucumber and carrots, avocado, and a little sauce made of coconut aminos or GF soy sauce, lime juice, a pinch of sugar, and lots of smashed garlic. 5- A pan of roasted veggies, or a grill full in summer, and a side of protein of choice, be it chicken, bison burger or chana masala. 6- Salad! Can top it with garbanzo or other beans, salad dressing by individual choice, etc. Just set up the assembly station in the kitchen and meet at the table, everyone with their own individual version of the meal. All happy and well-fed. And yes, mom, you can make rules about a minimum of one from each category- protein, veggies, whole grains. Notice what they share? Lots of veggies, a healthy protein, and lots of flavors. #HealthyWomen #FamilyHealth #CertifieHealthCoach #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NonToxicHome #MomsLife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #MindBodyConnection #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyHabitsForLife #HealthyHabitsCoach #healthylifestylechange #accoutabilitycoach #healthgoals #Selfcare #loveyourself #wellnessgoals #findyourmotivation #wellnessmotivation #healthylifehappylife #pickyeater

🇺🇸Wishing you a happy, healthy Happy Fourth of July! ✨🎉

Mmmm. Did a terrific course on the nutritional benefits of mushrooms last week. A birthday gift to myself. Yeah, I’m a geek. This lovely frittata was one of the recipes I got. Wowzaa! So so yummy and simple. A great win for people who might love quiche but are dairy free and or gluten free. I’m a convert. So simple and cooks much faster to cook. My 14 year old loved it! As did I. Flavors include parsley, feta, shiitake, criminology and portobello mushrooms with garlic and onion. #healthywomen #familyhealth #certifiedhealthcoach #gutbrainconnection #cleanseyourbody #sleepbetter #healthyeating #foodintolerance #nontoxichome #Momslife #healthcoachfortherestofus #progressnotperfection #NBCHWC #onlinehealthcoach #mindbodyconnection #CleanseLifestyle #detoxlifestyle #fastfood #cleaneating #GlutenFree #GlutenFreeLife #nutrientsmatter #childnutrition #foodmoodconnection #integrativehealth #immunehealth #guthealth

🇨🇦Happy Canada Day! Enjoy, relax, and celebrate the day! ✨🥳 I'll be focusing on my gratitude for all I love about Canada, while still taking a moment to remember those harmed by the residential schools.

🤹‍♀‍How active were you yesterday (and today!)? 🏃‍♀‍ Studies show that on days you have to sit a lot, getting up and moving around for just a few minutes every hour can help improve your energy, focus, and generally make you feel better! And of course, when we move more during the day, sleep comes more easily. And easy to get to sleep is a joy. Just as true for moms and dads as kids. #healthywomen #familyhealth #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NontoxicHome #Momslife #mindbodyconnection #Sleephelp #sleeptips #Sleepbetter #SleepIsSelfcare #SleepForEmotionalHealth #loveyourself #wellnessgoals #FindyYourMotivation #healthyhabitsforreallife #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle m#CertifiedHealthCoach #healthyhabitsforlife

🛀Do you take regular downtime to refresh and recharge? When was the last time you did? 🛋

😤🔥🦡Which puts a bigger crimp on your good mood: not sleeping long enough at one time, or constantly waking up during the night? 🛌😫According to a study from Johns Hopkins, having interrupted sleep has a much bigger impact on our mood than not getting enough sleep! ⚡Scientists put 62 study subjects (both men and women) into 3 different experimental conditions: three nights of being forced awake, staying up late, or having uninterrupted sleep. 😌🤨The study participants were asked to rate themselves on a variety of both positive and negative emotions, like anger or feeling cheerful. 👍👎After the first night, the people who were either forced awake or made to stay up late had similar ratings when it came to both having a low positive mood and a high negative mood (i.e., both felt similar in terms of how cheerful they felt, or how grouchy). 😤🔥But after the second night, the people who were forced awake during the night showed a big difference in having a low positive mood (like feeling motivated or hopeful), with a 31% reduction, while those who stayed up late had only a 12% drop in their positive mood. There weren’t any big differences between the two groups when it came to their overall feelings of negativity (when it came to negative feelings like anger or irritability, they were similar to each other). 🤸‍♂‍⚡What’s the takeaway? Getting restful sleep is important to maintaining a positive mindset! It’s hard to be motivated and hopeful when you’re tired. If you need help with YOUR sleep send me a DM!#healthywomen #familyhealth #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NontoxicHome #Momslife #mindbodyconnection #Sleephelp #sleeptips #Sleepbetter #SleepIsSelfcare #SleepForEmotionalHealth #loveyourself #wellnessgoals #FindyYourMotivation #WellnessMotivation #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyLifeHappyLife #CertifiedHealthCoach #HealthyHabits

🔥I love a cauliflower pizza crust recipe! This one is not only deliscious … but it’s so much easier than most of the others out there. It eliminates a messy step from earlier version which required using cheesecloth or kitchen towels to help remove liquid from the cauliflower. 💡This is a great way to lighten up pizza night and still feel satisfied! ✅Tip: Try sauteing some onions, mushrooms, and peppers (and maybe some chicken sausage!) while the crust bakes and using that as your topper. Seriously yum. Cauliflower Pizza Crust (serves 4) ● 5 cups (about 1 head) of cauliflower, cut into florets ● 1 ½ cups (170 grams) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided ● 2 large eggs, lightly beaten ● 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley ● ½ tsp each dried oregano and kosher salt ● ¼ tsp garlic powder Preheat the oven to 425ºF/220ºC. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cauliflower in a food processor and process until it’s finely chopped. Pour into a microwave-safe bowl and cover, and microwave on high for about 3-4 minutes, until it begins to soften. Remove from the microwave and let cool for a few minutes. Drain out the liquid. Stir in half of the mozzarella, both eggs, and the seasonings Spread the “dough” into a 12-inch (about 30 cm) circle. It should be about ¼ inch (½ cm) thick. Place in the oven and bake until it’s brown and starting to get crisp on the edges, about 35-40 minutes. Take the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings (including the other half of the mozzarella).

😴🕙What time did you go to bed last night? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🌙One of the best ways to train yourself to get a good night’s sleep is to follow a regular sleep schedule. Ever heard the term 'Social Hangover'? It's when you are tired two days after staying up too late. Hmmm. Maybe Monday's have such a reputation cause we tend to be up late on Saturdays? When coaching, I've watch adults and kids find better focus and better moods from getting consistent with a just right for them sleep schedule. Are bedtimes and wake times consistent in your household? (Yes, even on weekends!) 😱 #healthywomen #familyhealth #GutBrainConnection #CleanseYourBody #SleepBetter #HealthyEating #FoodIntolerance #NontoxicHome #Momslife #mindbodyconnection #Sleephelp #sleeptips #Sleepbetter #SleepIsSelfcare #SleepForEmotionalHealth #loveyourself #wellnessgoals #FindyYourMotivation #WellnessMotivation #HealthCoachForTheRestOfUs #ProgressNotPerfection #NBCHWC #OnlineHealthCoach #CleanseLifestyle #DetoxLifestyle #HealthyLifeHappyLife #CertifiedHealthCoach #HealthyHabits

💡Q: Does it REALLY matter whether I get 7-8 hours of sleep every night? A: The answer is …. YES! ⭐We’ve all heard the popular hustle-and-grind saying: “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” But you’ll actually get MORE done – and do it better! – if you get enough sleep. PLUS, you’ll feel better doing it. ✅Here’s a quick rundown of WHY sleep is important: ● Your brain forms new pathways to help your memory while you sleep. ● Being rested helps you control your emotions and behavior. ● It improves your recovery from workouts. ● It keeps your hormones balanced (including those that control stress, blood sugar control, and food cravings). ● Plus, it triggers the release of growth hormone, which helps your body build muscle and repair cells. ● Getting too little sleep (in the long term) is linked with a higher risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and kidney disease. ● Getting too little sleep increases the risk of obesity. ● Your immune system performs better when you are rested. ● Getting enough quality sleep helps you be more productive and efficient during the day. As you can see, your body isn’t asleep on the job when you’re sleeping – it’s actually working hard to keep you healthy, strong, and productive!

😴🛌How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Getting enough sleep is great for your brain … your body … and your mood! While you’re asleep your body is busy recovering and recharging from yesterday and setting you up for success today. Studies show that over the past decade, many of us have been going to bed later but still getting up at the same time – losing about 40 minutes of sleep on workdays! Not getting enough sleep can raise your stress hormones and also throw your hunger hormones out of whack! Both of these are implicated in weight gain over time. So … if you’re struggling with getting enough sleep and can’t change the time you wake up, go to bed earlier to get those 40 minutes back! What’s your nightly average What about your kids??? ⬇️⬇️⬇️

😴2 Easy Tips for Better Sleep! 😴 🛌1. Change your sheets weekly Changing sheets regularly also is linked to better sleep. 📺2. Get rid of everything nonessential in your bedroom – the less clutter, the better! Eliminating clutter and anything not related to sleep (if possible) is also linked with longer, sounder sleep! I know, idealistic with kids in the house, but any progress is some progress. It's a journey, as I love to say. So… Do you make your bed every day?!
