Just wanted to share what's making me food-happy this week!

I had tried meal delivery services (yes, multiple), organic grocery bin deliveries (again, multiple) and even a meal prep delivery (where stuff comes pre-portipned and you cook - singular. Lol not a hit for me).

And I couldn't find something that worked.

I found either I got bored of the same flavours, the same style of eating, or knowing what to do with the vegetables I'm not used to eating.

From the time I started manager training, my work life became the most dedicated hours out of the house I'd ever spent. Then I took over Danforth, and I wanted to do a world's best job (of course!).

So my days got longer, and my take out got more extensive. (Plus, feeling like a local hero for supporting local resto's made it simple!).

Anyway, I've now gone one full week without takeout (don't worry local resto's, we'll be back! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜), and I can genuinely say that's the single-longest amount of time without takeout for me since March of 2020.

Life got busy, and I needed food I could count on, being done for me.

Anyway, whilst on vacation dreaming up plans and talking through challenges, looking for more life balance, we ended up looking into, trying, and then buying . I should add here this is not sponsored in any way. I haven't been in touch with them. We actively pay for the service. And I'm sharing this just because I know time is busy, and I have lots of fam and friends in the same boat, who look to me for healthy food advice/making health work. πŸ’–

Anyway, they dream up a delicious meal plan (vegan - but feel free to add chicken or whatever, or just enjoy the well-flavoured plants!), create your grocery list out of it. You can easily swap snacks or meals out for something you'll like more (and your grocery list will be auto-updated). They leave you with leftovers for one extra meal (not 5 πŸ˜‚). You can adjust servings, to create no or more leftovers, for exactly how many adults or kiddo's you have. And it tells you what to do on weekends so your weeknight cooking is all prepped and takes around 20 minutes or so per dish.

Super-Happy Periods! πŸ”΄β£
⁣
Are they possible? But of course! ✨⁣
⁣
Here are some of my favourites through the month, and at the time of my period starting that make a BIG difference to cramps, energy and overall balance. πŸ’–β£
⁣
Be sure to let me know in the comments if you have ANY questions! I'm happy to help, either in comments or future stories! 😍⁣
⁣
✨ Magnesium can be helpful taken throughout the month to help reduce cramps. It's the mineral that governs the relaxation of muscles - and the form can make quite a difference!⁣
⁣
Magnesium Citrate (I love Citrate Powder in Berry) is a great one, especially if you tend towards constipation throughout the month. The citrate form of magnesium is well-absorbed, nicely energizing, and helps the muscles relax.⁣
⁣
Magnesium Glycinate ( is my go-to, pictured!) is my favourite, favourite magnesium if you suffer from anxiety. It is SO calming! So if you're likely getting cramps because you're stressed out all the time and holding yourself tight, that would be a wonderful one for you!⁣
⁣
Magnesium Bisglycinate ( makes a great liquid!) is another great one. I find this one best for muscle cramps, jumpy legs, or any time you need magnesium to act deeply in the body.⁣
⁣
Generally around 300mg is a perfect dose of magnesium by supplementation throughout the month. But if you find you regularly have loose stools at the start of your period, I'd skip it the first day or two (especially if using the citrate form, which could further aggravate those symptoms, just on those days).⁣
⁣
✨ Iron is something I always take on period days. If you're bleeding, you're losing it, and a LOT of women hover around low to just-nearly-ok iron levels. So I always like to do a feisty refill during those days.⁣
⁣
My favorite iron on period days is Power Iron because it packs a gorgeous 45 mg of a well-absorbed iron into your body! (Iron bisglycinate) It's easy on the tummy, has *continued in comments*

My first job was at a small business on the Danforth. My second job was working for two small businesses during Taste of The Danforth.

During this pandemic, one of my personal focuses was to support the businesses on the Danforth as much as possible.

Every flower bouquet I've needed for many, many years now (including all of our gorgeous wedding flowers!) was from the Danforth.

My wedding dress was from the Danforth!

My Husband's wedding suit was from the Danforth!

So many of our beautiful cooking items are from the Danforth!

Most of our hardware supplies over the years of hanging art, building shelves and more have come from the Danforth.

I've celebrated with this community, mourned with this community, gone to late night emergency rooms in this community.Β 

I grew up in the East End. πŸ’–

And today, I step into managing...

Can you guess!?

Danforth ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

I am SO beyond excited to join the most STUNNING store fronts and VIBRANT humans that manage all of my FAVOURITE places! (Tagged in this photo!)

And over the coming weeks, months and beyond, I look SO forward to celebrating, meeting, and making Healthy Planet Danforth as bright and welcoming and stunning as is possible! β˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈ

I watched Healthy Planet Danforth get built. I watched them open their doors. I excitedly leaped in the open front windows during with music blasting when it was all opened up!

And while it's not the original location, The Danforth means something to Heathy Planet, too. Healthy Planet started on, "a small kiosk in a strip mall on Danforth Ave."

LET'S MAKE MAGIC TOGETHER, DANFORTH!!!! βœ¨βœ¨βœ¨βœ¨βœ¨πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

It has been a beautiful year for me for loving the Earth even more! πŸ’–βœ¨

This year I made a bunch of beautiful changes I'm proud of, and moved towards AWESOME products that came in simple packages! 🌿

has quickly become my FAVOURITE shampoo bar! 😍 And it makes my heart so happy to see bars, not bottles, lining my baths now! 😍

Speaking of bars, NOTHING beats my argan oil and clay body wash bar. Oh my gosh. So nice! ✨

silicone food protectors have been awesome at saving the rest of an onion we didn't need, or the rest of a tomato for next time! Nothing browns or dries out, and every time I save a veggie I'm happy! ✨

We swapped to laundry strips instead of bottled liquid this past year (from ) and we absolutely ADORE the wildflower ones! 🌺

I was THRILLED to unbox 's bulk refill size of their disinfectant/all purpose cleaner so that I could refill my own spray bottles! 😍

And we recently tried out 's dishwashing machine powder to get out of the habit of the bottles of dishwasher liquid we were using, and our dishes are just as sparkly clean but the *boxes* will break down so much more quickly! Yipee! πŸ’–

There are a thousand and one ways to make a difference. And as I add them up, I'm really proud of the big change I've made! But each of them happened one by one, with just a little attention given to the details, and a little trial and error until I found the most awesome AND green products I love! 😍 So I was super excited to share only the BEST ones with you to celebrate our Earth month! πŸ’–πŸŒΏβœ¨

One beautiful change at a time is a WONDERFUL thing! So let me know, what greener things have you been LOVING or looking at!? 😍 I can't wait to hear! 

This concludes my ever-growing with SUCH enthusiasm greening methods, all available and found 😍🌿✨

Happy beautiful product-choosing! And Happy Earth Month! XO

Stress is something I am SO passionate about because it can make you feel EXHAUSTED πŸ₯΄ or completely energized and vibrant! ✨

I LOVE stress supplements for their unique methods in helping you through stressful times.

Here's a recap of some of my faves, and how I've found them to be most helpful based on the formula:

Ortho Adapt Vegan is an excellent formula if, when you're stressed out for too long, you move towards exhaustion, sluggishness, no motivation and deep fatigue.

Serenity is amazing if you, under prolonged stress, get very agitated, busy, super-fast-paced, and try to get everything done all the time with no breaks.

chill pills help if your diet isn't perfect, and if you need mental calmness, because they lightly boost you up with energizing B vitamins and help to calm the mind and help the body adapt to new levels of stress.

Adrenal Pro I love because in addition to supporting your body during stressful times, it also has an herb in it that supports your immune system when you've been over-doing it, and some tyrosine to support your gorgeous thyroid gland (and there's a huge interconnection between stress hormones and thyroid hormones!).

was a unique one for me as a Nutritionist to see, because in addition to the heavy focus of calming the mind and nervous system, it also works to stimulate your adrenal glands with one of my favorite energizing herbs, Schizandra (also spelled Schisandra). 😍

And AOR Zen Theanine is awesome, not as a direct stress hormone support but more so for it's gorgeous ability to calm a busy mind and provide focus, leading to naturally lower stress levels a little more indirectly if you're very stuck in your head/over-thinking/overwhelmed.

Pretty neat, right!?

Each of these formulas is so specific, which is why I *adore* for having amazing Nutritionists on staff as well as product experts in store to help you choose the best formula for your unique body, goals and individual needs!

Let me know in the comments: after reading this, is there one stress support supplement you might test out? πŸ’–

I can't wait to hear! ✨

Life update! My sister had a beautiful baby recently! 😍 Being Auntie Nat is super-awesome. 😍

And I got promoted to manager-in-training recently! That means my next bunch of weeks I'll be training at a new location of which is super-exciting!

It's been a busy few weeks!!! ✨

I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the South Scarborough community. Being a Nutritionist at our location has been an honour. I have loved, loved, loved the community and will miss you all so, so much. I always tried to keep your voices in the back of my mind as I was processing orders to make sure we always had what you wanted on our shelves. πŸ’–

And to our outstanding team, you've all made me feel so, so loved this past week, and I have been SO lucky to work with every single one of you. πŸ’– Our store is bright and welcoming and beautiful because of all of you! β˜€οΈ

I have so much love for my beautiful South Scarborough beginnings with Healthy Planet. And I'm so excited for what's to come! ✨

I'll try to share highlights and fun things as they happen over the next few weeks! Maybe a "before the store opens!" Story from a new training location for my early risers! πŸ’–

XO love to you! ✨

Eeeeek I got the BEST question this week!!!

"What treats/desserts do you recommend where I can still be healthy!?"

I LOVE this because I LOVE food and I LOVE celebrating our beautiful bodies and sharing with them BEAUTIFUL treats! πŸ’—βœ¨

Here are my top treat picks (for keeping bloating to a minimum, slowing down absorption of sugar a little via fiber/protein/good fats and for general best tastiness!)

To start with, I have to say baking your own will *always* be best.

For my own cookies and cakes I rely on and adore All Purpose Gluten-Free flour (even if you don't have to eat gf, it's awesome to swap up your diet, and this flour blend is made of foods that aren't standard in North American diets).

Of course, when recipes call for chocolate chips, are the ones to choose!

And then pre-made snacks:

snickerdoodle cookies. They're awesome! Enough said 😍

chocolate hazelnut bar for when you're trying to do a low sugar thangggg. They're delish!

does not lie. Their dark chocolate truffle cashew-based ice cream is my life. 🍫

makes *fabulous* chocolate bark. I especially love the carazel one! ✨

where would we be without you!? 😭 Their gluten free treats are my FAVE whether the frozen cookie dough or ultra-amazing frozen cakes or their cashew cookies (hello peanut butter cookie look-alike! I see you!)

And chocolate cookies are always a fave of mine for summer sunshine trips! The puffed quinoa chocolate ones are beautiful if you're into a crunchy cookie now and then. (Who isn't!?) πŸ’—

That wraps up my TOP fave snacky treats that I regularly snag at ! 😍✨

What are yours!? And speaking of baking with gluten-free flours, throw your hands up in the comments if you want me to cover the simplest way in the world to swap recipes to deliciously gluten-free.

XO and thank you for the love!

I don't always paint. But when I do, I shock myself. πŸ˜‚πŸ’–βœ¨

I painted this peony last week with the sun streaming in around our curtains, hoping it and a note would help brighten someone's day. It did! 😍

Extra residual art bonus points if it helps you pause for a second and remember beauty, too! ✨🌿🌸

You can do it!

Hi Gorgeous, I believe that when you get healthy, you Glow! And you start to do some pretty amazing things in your life.

When you feel good, because you’re healthy, you start to say β€œYES!” to the dreams in your heart. And step-by-amazing-step, you start to become the amazing woman you’ve always envisioned. I couldn’t be more excited or more proud to help you along your way! I’m Nathalie, a Holistic Nutritionist who went from exhaustion every single day to running a marathon and completely changing her mindset in 8 months. And now I absolutely ADORE helping you achieve your dreams through getting vibrantly healthy, too. To me, healthy means you feel good. Your strange symptoms disappear. And you start to feel like YOU! The best you! The whole, healthy, vibrant YOU. I specialize in women’s health, fertility & hormonal health, hypothyroidism, adrenal burnout and vegan health. I also specialize in vertigo healing after one of my articles on my blog took off, and people started sharing their vertigo stories with me, alongside how poorly this area of health has been helped in the past. I post amazing, uplifting workshops on health on my YouTube Page.

I have helpful health information over on my blog. I create amazing guides, workshops and printouts for sale to help you with your health over at Glow Nutritional Consulting online.

And otherwise, I have over 100 video workshops right here on Facebook, alongside an ever-growing library of posts on most things related to health.
