Working on improving your gut health doesn’t have to be complicated!

To create a nutritious balanced meal, aim for the following👇🏼

✅Healthy Fats: Olive oil, avocado oil, nuts/nut butter, and seeds 🥑🥜
✅Fiber: Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans and legumes, Starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes 🍠 🥕🥦 🍌 🍎
✅Protein: Fish, lean meats, tofu 🐟🍗
✅Herbs & Spices to add some flavor! 🌿

🌟 Try to include Protein and Fiber with all meals to help keep you feeling full.

If you struggle with IBS or other digestive issues, you may find it challenging to eat balanced meals on a consistent basis.

I work with clients from a variety of different cultural backgrounds to help them understand the root of their digestive distress while providing custom diet recommendations to help them feel their best.

A simple New Year’s reminder 🥰

Set SMART goals.

These are goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely.

So if your goal is to increase fruits and vegetables in your diet this year, here is an example of a SMART goal👇🏼

“I will include 1 fruit and/or vegetable with breakfast, lunch, and dinner 5 days out of the week.”

Record this in a planner or your phone and make a plan to stick to it!

Reminder: nutrition and lifestyle goals take time. There are NO quick fixes. With that being said, be cautious with unqualified social media influencers masquerading as “nutrition experts”🫣

Stay informed my friends but trust accordingly ❤️

⁉️ Did you know that a vitamin D deficiency can be linked to many health conditions including:

* Osteoporosis
* Diabetes
* Cardiovascular disease
* Depression
* Cancer

❗️A vitamin D deficiency is confirmed with a simple blood test when values are less than 20 ng/mL.

Some causes of vitamin D deficiency include👇🏼

1. Issues with absorption! Unfortunately this is often seen with gastrointestinal conditions such as Celiac Disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Working on the diet and optimizing gut function can do wonders for better absorption of vitamins and minerals.

2. Lack of Sunlight: Over 50% of vitamin D is absorbed through the skin via sunlight and the rest comes from the diet. Aim for at least 20 minutes of sun exposure ☀️ everyday. *Note wearing sunscreen will hinder absorption.

3. Not getting enough from the diet: Aim for vitamin D rich food sources such as egg yolks, salmon, fortified cereals, and fortified beverages such as orange juice and dairy/plant milks. 🍣 🍳 🥣

It can be difficult to meet the optimal vitamin D level of 50-70 ng/mL through food and sunlight alone.

Supplements can be an excellent way to ensure you’re meeting your vitamin D needs.

Since most people are deficient/at risk of deficiency, I will typically always recommend a maintenance dose of 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 to all of my clients. Recommended dosing will vary based on current levels.

Do you know your vitamin D levels? 🤔

A Low-FODMAP diet may help temporarily alleviate IBS symptoms.

🔸This diet essentially eliminates certain types of carbohydrates that aren’t broken down well in the small intestine which can lead to uncomfortable digestive symptoms such as cramping, bloating, gas, and diarrhea.

🔸The low FODMAP diet is typically done for 3 weeks and then foods are carefully reintroduced back into the diet to identify individual triggers and level of tolerance.

🔸I see so many clients that come to me telling me they’ve been on the low FODMAP diet for years. However, it’s crucial to remember that any kind of elimination diet should be temporarily executed with the help of a registered dietitian to avoid doing more harm than good.

‼️More importantly, symptoms such as bloating and altered bowel habits can mean SO many things so it’s important to rule out other possible issues prior to settling on an elimination diet to “cure” you of your digestive symptoms.

If you’ve been following the low-FODMAP diet for years and still experience unwanted digestive symptoms, then it’s time to investigate what else may be at play.

🔍I help my clients identify the foods that work best for their body and busy lifestyles while also simultaneously searching for the underlying causes of their digestive discomfort.

Lately I’ve been reminding many of my clients this and so I hope this helps someone else who may be struggling with chronic digestive issues too👇🏼

🍃Your health involves far more than just what’s on your plate. Sleep, exercise and stress are important for optimizing your health too!

🍃Gut healing takes time and the healing process can sometimes be incredibly frustrating.

🍃You can’t out supplement a poor diet

🍃Healing is usually never linear. There will be highs and lows.

🍃Don’t compare your healing timeline to anyone else. You are unique.

🍃Those small wins? They should be celebrated too! Baby steps are still steps in the right direction

🍃And with patience, consistency, and the right practitioner in your corner, some pretty amazing things will happen for you.

❤️Trust the process❤️

If you struggle with IBS-D (diarrhea predominant IBS), here are a few of my go-to supplement recommendations.

1. S. Boulardii, a beneficial type of yeast, can be helpful in the reduction and prevention of diarrhea.🌟Fun fact: According to research it also seems to play a multifactorial role in human gut health in that it can also bind to pathogenic pathogens and modulate immunological function by enhancing the body’s immune system.

2. Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum can be helpful in bulking up the stool. I recommend starting slow to avoid bloating and discomfort. You can increase to the label dose as tolerated.

3. Enteric Coated Peppermint Oil acts as a antispasmodic and smooth muscle relaxant and can help to ease some of the symptoms associated with IBS such as urgency and abdominal pain. Please note however that this may worsen acid reflux so use caution.

🌟Keep in mind that this is just general advice and should NOT replace the care of a practitioner. Your individual supplement needs may vary and are dependent upon many different factors.
