Last week I shared some of the benefits of pre and probiotic foods - and explained that prebiotics provide food for probiotics! Here are some ideas for how you can pair those in balanced snacks or meals!

What's your favorite way to get in your pre and probiotics?

Of course these are also general wellness tips! But did you think I was going to list "Make social connections daily" as #1?

A few years ago I definitely wouldn't have listed this as a top gut health tip. However, I think the 2020 pandemic helped us realize the importance of social connections, and their impact they may have on overall well-being.

We already knew that loneliness and social isolation could be linked to increased mortality rates. However, we are also continuously learning more about the gut microbiome, and we now know that this can also have a negative impact on the bacteria in your gut!

SO - instead of trying all the elimination diets, and supplements out there, start with the basics.

Connect to those around you.

Manage that heavy load of stress.

Add in some joyful movement today.

Try to get a little sunlight as you're enjoying your breakfast.

If your plate doesn't have color - try adding some produce to get a little color in.

Overall health and wellness starts with the basics. You can't supplement these things.

Struggling with PCOS?
Unsure how to start managing your symptoms?
Drowning in the conflicting information you're finding online?

I get it! It's incredibly confusing.

Here's the thing.... PCOS management is mostly about blood sugar control. If you can work on managing your blood sugar - then you may see improvement in your symptoms.

You DO NOT need to cut all of the carbs out of your diet. You DO want to work on pairing carbohydrate containing foods, with sources of fat and/or protein. You also want to look for carbohydrate sources that are a little less processed, and bit higher in fiber if possible.

It may also be beneficial to add a little spearmint tea into your diet - as it has been shown to help with symptoms of hirsutism - which is a common struggle for those who have PCOS.

Digestive issues are also more common if you struggle with PCOS. If you are experiencing issues with your digestion, we're running the Gut Revival Program again starting in the beginning of March - and we are enrolling anyone interested now! Reach out with questions!

Minerals are essential for many reactions in the body. They are 'cofactors,' which assist our bodies in the processes of digestion, energy production, hormone production, and detoxification. They are also a key when it comes to hydration, they help suck water into your cells, so they are nice and plump like a grape (not a raisin).

We consume fewer minerals today, due to mineral-depleted soil, which leads to fewer nutrients in our foods. Plus we've increased consumption of processed foods, which are less mineral-rich.

Mixing up an adrenal cocktail (especially during times of stress), is a great way to replenish minerals in our system, and help our bodies to function properly.

There are a ton of different ways to mix an adrenal cocktail to your liking! Just as long as you're covering the basics, which are potassium, sodium, magnesium, and vitamin c!

If you're feeling a little down today, maybe your gut needs some love? Our bodies are so intelligent. You may think our brains are doing most of the work, but this goes to show there's a lot more to it!

"Your gut has capabilities that surpass all your other organs and even rival your brain. It has it's own nervous system, known as the enteric nervous system, or ENS, and is often referred to in the media as the "second brain." This second brain is made up of 50-100 million nerve cells, as many as are contained in your spinal cord."

Have you taken a walk today? Even just 30 minutes can have massive benefits. People tend to over-complicate 'movement.' We're told the more intense we exercise, the better, but for people with IBS, this can actually trigger symptoms.

When is the best time of the day to walk?

After a meal is a great time to walk if you're trying to improve digestion! But anytime you can fit one in works!

Start moving for your gut health today!
