It was an honor to be a sponsor for the Effingham County Chamber Women in Business Event last Friday! 💃

The community support for this group and event is astounding. It was so empowering to see so many women coming together to support one another in business and in life. 💙

The speaker panel was exceptional- Effingham business women sharing their strengths and struggles as working moms in corporate America.

Meteorologist Jacob Dickey and his wife, Amy, shared their personal and professional journeys, and how they are each others “calm in the storm”.

Nutrition Wise is proud to continue to support women in business in our community and beyond.

💚 We strive to meet women where they are in their health journey, and help them to become the healthiest versions of themselves 💚

Great to be with other local businesses supporting this event!

If you struggle with IBS and need a quick and easy Low FODMAP meal… check this out! 👇👇

Following a special diet to help manage symptoms can be daunting.

But it doesn’t have to be difficult!

Here is an easy one:

✅ Gluten-free pasta (made with quinoa and brown rice)

✅ ground turkey or beef

✅ low FODMAP marinara sauce

Choosing a low FODMAP sauce like Fody Food Co. or Prego Sensitive Recipe takes the stress and guesswork out!

Working with a Monash trained Dietitian (check the Monash University website for a list of RD’s trained on the FODMAP diet) will also help with the meal planning process 🥘

Optimal vitamin D levels are essential for our bodies.

Thank you to our friends at Effingham Pelvic Health & Wellness for sharing this amazing info! 👇

☀️ Trying to conceive? Pregnant? Planning ahead? Let’s talk about Vitamin D.
(You already know, you should be seeing us for pelvic rehab support 😉)

Vitamin D isn’t just about bones — it plays a powerful role in fertility, pregnancy, and baby’s development.

✨ During preconception & conception, adequate Vitamin D levels support:
• Healthy ovulation
• Hormone balance
• Endometrial receptivity (implantation support)
• Reduced inflammation

🤰 During pregnancy, Vitamin D supports:
• Placental development
• Baby’s bone growth
• Healthy immune development
• Lower risk of complications like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes

👶 For baby, healthy maternal levels are linked to:
• Strong bone formation
• Immune system development
• Reduction in childhood asthma risk

And here’s the reality — Vitamin D deficiency is common, especially in the Midwest where we don’t get consistent year-round sun.

Most prenatal vitamins contain only 400 IU, which may not be enough if levels are low.

💛 If you are trying to conceive or currently pregnant, talk with your provider about checking your Vitamin D levels and determining the right supplementation for you. Keep in mind the typical medical "normal" range of 30-40 does not mean it is the optimal range. Optimal is ideally closer to 60-90. Do your research and talk to your OB or midwife.

Proactive care now supports long-term health for both mom and baby.

I often have clients come to me after trying every fad diet and quick fix or anything to put a bandaid over a symptom.

Sound familiar? 🤷‍♀️

True success comes when you
➡️ address the root of problem
and
➡️ work on what’s causing the problem.

Healing the gut and moving the body is what yields the long term results ❤️🍏

🩵 Our health is a marathon, not a sprint…. Keep going! 🩵

Eating Disorders Awareness Week 💜

FACTS:

👉Eating disorders and disordered eating behaviors most commonly begin during adolescence and can affect teens of all body sizes.

👉These concerns often appear before lab values, weight changes, or growth charts signal concern.

Signs That Nutrition Support May Be Helpful ⬇️

✔️Skipping meals or eating inconsistently

✔️Cutting out entire food groups (carbs, fats, “processed foods”)

✔️Increased anxiety, guilt, or rigidity around food

✔️Talking about “earning” food or needing to “make up” for eating

✔️Low energy, irritability, headaches, dizziness, or difficulty concentrating

✔️Avoiding eating at school, with friends, or with family

✔️Increased focus on body shape, weight, or food control

If you notice your teen experiencing any of these behaviors, Nutrition Wise has an eating disorders specialist who can help.

Schedule your complimentary phone consultation to find out more about how we can help ☎️ 618.402.8347
