MY BREAKFAST VS CJS BREAKFAST . . . As women, we can’t follow the same eating habits as our man and expect our bodies to remain the same proportion. We have a much more complex set of hormones which require lots and lots of nutrient rich foods, but we need to eat them in smaller portions. . . Below I have listed a few different hormonal issues and what foods to best eat to support your hormones: . High estrogen If you have signs of estrogen dominance, including severe PMS or trouble losing weight, reduce your intake of processed foods, sugar, unhealthy fats, and alcohol. Increase fiber intake, especially from vegetables and fruit. Consider removing phytoestrogens — mostly found in soy products — from your diet. Aim to eat a low-glycemic diet that includes lean protein and healthy fats. To balance high estrogen, eat more olive or coconut oil avocado turmeric seaweeds and other greens resveratrol found in fruits like grapes green tea probiotic foods such as yogurt and other fermented foods . . High cortisol levels are associated with chronic stress as well as poor sleep, particularly with higher levels of morning cortisol. It’s also associated with decreased immunity, trouble with work performance, and a higher susceptibility to anxiety, high calorie intake, weight gain, and depression. To balance high cortisol levels Emphasize eating unprocessed foods, especially a variety of fruits and veggies high in antioxidants. Consume omega-3 fatty acids from fish like salmon, sardines, or mackerel. Include foods high in vitamin C such as leafy greens or citrus fruits. Eat probiotic foods, fresh herbs and spices, and healthy fats like coconut oil. Try adaptogen herbs like ashwagandha, ginseng, rhodiola, and medicinal mushrooms. Include B vitamin-rich foods like eggs, poultry, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and nutritional yeast. . . High androgens in women High androgens are often linked to problems such as obesity or being overweight, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or insulin resistance. Some helpful foods and supplements to combat excess androgens include: coconut oil and other healthy fats low GI foods, like leafy greens and non-starchy veggies, fiber!

GETTING OUT IN NATURE IS SO IMPORTANT ✨✨✨🍁🍁🍁 There are so many ways you can take advantage of the benefits of nature. I’ll leave the how to you—hint: it starts with putting down your phone and experiencing the outdoors. Here are 3 reasons why being outside is important to improving the health of you and your family. 1. Relieve Stress Getting outside can help you escape the stress of work or school. Stress can tear up a healthy mind and immune system. High levels of stress at work and school are associated with depression, obesity, and high blood pressure. Stress is unhealthy when not managed properly. Luckily, there is a natural stress reliever right in your backyard. Spending time in nature relieves stress in teens and adults. Bloodstream levels of the stress hormone cortisol are lowered after time spent outside. For a group of male students in China, those who spent their break from school hiking and camping returned with lower cortisol levels than those who spent time in the city. And these lower cortisol levels persisted for several days after their retreat to the wilderness. 2. Strengthen Immunity Staying indoors can have a negative impact on your immune health. The immune system works best when challenged regularly. That doesn’t happen when we spend time indoors. Healthy doses of nature will help prepare your body fight. Here’s how it works. A study published in 2010 evaluated the effect of forest bathing on immune function. For a group of Japanese adults, a three-day trip to the forest increased the number of white blood cells in their blood. These levels of white blood cells stayed elevated for more than 30 days after their adventure in the woods. White blood cells are crucial to your immune system. They help your body battle germs by recognizing pathogens and harmful intruders with the help of antibodies. 3. Calm the Mind Anxiety and depression can be crippling. Coping with mental illness is difficult and methods vary from person to person. Most physicians and therapists recommend regular exercise in addition to therapy and medication. Getting that recommended exercise outdoors can help ease emotional and mental pain while improving mood.

It takes as much time to heal as your body went though the heartache, the late nights, the neglect, the abuse, the stress, the poor eating choices, the guilt. Whatever you were harboring during the time before you got sick. The tablets you took, the antibiotics you ingested over the years, the toxic exposure. The low self esteem. It all takes time to heal. Your body didn’t get that way overnight. But the underlying message is that IT WILL HEAL. Have hope. You are in control and you have the power to reverse the damage✨✨ the human body is amazing, and it works to heal things just like a cut on your knee; it will go through the ugly stage of been crusty, maybe even hurt a bit more, but it will always heal eventually. You just have the nurture it enough to get things moving, and then slowly but surely, you will see small but life changing improvements. 😍😍💛 . . . #plantbased #pancakes #holisticliving #healthypancakes#skincareroutine #wellnesswarrior #melasma #wellnessblogger #foodporn #foodblogger #skinblogger #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #paleolifestyle #wellnessjourney #healingjourney #hormonalacne #acnescars #holisticnutrition #holistichealth #holisticliving #healthysnacks #healthymind #nutritionist #acnesucks z#acnefree #juicingforhealth #quotes
HI ALL👋🏼👋🏼 Beth here. It’s been a while since I updated you on my life. Since you all took the effort to follow me, and I get a lot of lovely ladies trusting me with their health. I thought you ought to know a bit about me: 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ . . ~ I’m 26 years old 😋💋 . ~ I lived in Kuwait for 2 years as an elementary school teacher. 📚 ✏️ . ~ I’m an avid traveler. Me and my husband spend most of our money on travel and organic food 🐒🙊🙊 . ~ I gave up teaching when I moved to America last year and invested in a nutritional therapy course to try and make the world a healthier place. 🌱 . ~ I currently work as a nanny and a private tutor whilst I set up my own holistic nutrition studio. ✨💫 The hustle is real, girls gotta make some cash in the mean time. 💵 💰 💵 💵💵💵 . ~ I went though a rough 3 years of having digestion problems, SIBO, Candida, acne, hair loss, melasma and terrible mood swings, that came about after a destructive relationship and moving abroad. ✈️ 🌴✈️🌴🦈🌴 . ~ I got married in August to the man or my dreams, we got married a little sooner than we thought because we wanted to get my residency here in the USA. We’re planning a wedding abroad for 2020!! 👰 🤵 . . ~ I have a huge fear of sharks and ocean animals since I was stung by a jellyfish when I was 8. If I can’t see the bottom of the sea, I ain’t going in. 🦈 . . ~ my favorite destination so far is THAILAND!! If you haven’t been; you must go.🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴 . ~ I haven’t been back to England in a year and I miss my friends and family terribly. 😔 ♥️ . ~ I used to be known for being the stupidest drunk person. My friends would record me every time I got drunk because I’d take part in dares and l leap over bushes on the walk home and wind myself@vlwoods1992. . ~ I am so passionate about helping others. I am trying hard to put myself out there in the healing world; but struggle to ask people for money to help them. This is something I’m working on. 🌸🌸🌸🌸 . . If you want to know anything else, feel free to ask I’m a pretty friendly and down to earth ladayyyy 💫💫💫 . -
WHY DO WE LIVE IN A CULTURE WHERE IF YOURE NOT WORKING AND KEEPING ‘BUSY’ you don’t feel WORTHY and important?!!! . . . For some reason we have developed this work work work culture. If you’re not super successful or working every hour of every day, you’re not worthy. It’s crazy. We have become so fixated on work and success that we have forgotten how to enjoy ourselves and how to RELAX✨✨ . . No wonder there are so many auto immune diseases, cases of adrenal fatigue, hormonal imbalances, when we work ourselves to the bone and when we get time off, we feel guilty for doing nothing. It’s bizarre. Well I’m here to tell you that, you are allowed to relax and YOU SHOULD. For your health, your hormones, your skin, your body, your sanity, your longevity, your happiness. RELAX. When you get a day off, sleep in bed, lazy around in your pajamas, make yourself a yummy coffee and watch Netflix all day - you have my permission, not that you need it. . . I have been a prisoner to a work work work mentality since I was 14 years old, but only when my health deteriorated did I realize I couldn’t keep doing it: I now value relaxation time; I actually prioritize it. I have a massage once a month, I do yoga, I make sure I get 8 hours sleep, I take long baths, I go hiking and sleep in on the weekends, I set time apart in my day to have ME TIME. Its important and it’s often neglected. ❌❌❌❌ . : So next time you feel GUILTY for doing nothing; DONT! You need it. You deserve it. . . #plantbased #acnesucks #adrenalfatigue #holisticliving #nutritionist #skincareroutine #wellnesswarrior #melasma #wellnessblogger #foodporn #foodblogger #skinblogger #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #paleolifestyle #wellnessjourney #healingjourney #hormonalacne #acnescars #holisticnutrition #holistichealth #holisticliving #healthysnacks #healthymind #youtime #metime
