Everyday we are exposed to toxins our food, the environment, cleaning and self-care products and even our clothing. Though the body is beautifully designed to process and filter toxins, we simply were never meant to have such a massive toxic burden assaulting our bodies every day!
Some simple daily habits can help support your body’s ability to removed toxins and secure lasting health.
Here are 5 simple strategies you can add to your routine:
  1. Lemon water: First thing in the morning, drink a mug of warm water that has the juice of one organic lemon.  Warm lemon water stimulates the colon and helps hydrate your body.  Toxins out, hydration in… win/win!
  2. Organic Whole Raw Foods: Enjoy pesticide and chemical free organic, whole raw foods daily to boost nutrients and give your body the antioxidants needed to stay healthy without any added toxic burden.  Plus, whole raw foods tend to be great sources of fiber (check out my article about fiber for more on that… CHECK IT OUT
  3. Oil Pulling: Oil pulling simply involves taking a spoon full of sesame oil and swishing around vigorously inside your mouth for 10-15 minutes (without swallowing). When you’re done, spit into some tissue and discard in your garbage can – do not spit into the sink, shower or toilet unless you want clogged drains!  Rinse your mouth with warm water and brush your teeth.  Oil puling helps with gum and tooth health and can stimulate the Vagus nerve if you swish to the point that you make your eyes tear just a little!
  4. Dry skin Brushing: Using a natural bristle brush, brush your dry skin before getting into the shower.  Use long strokes from your toes up towards your heart and from finger tips up the arms towards your heart.  Gentle circular strokes around the breasts, if you are comfortable, otherwise, skip them.  Skin brushing helps stimulate lymph movement, increases circulation and exfoliates the skin!
  5. Sweat: Move it! Make a commitment to do something sweaty for 10 minutes every day. Jump in the shower afterwards to rinse off the sweat – your body is able to eliminate toxins through the skin, so remember to rinse.  Moderate exercise also stimulates lymphatic flow and circulation which aide detoxification.
There are so many other things you can do for daily detox.  Post in the comments and share your favorites!

Menobelly Bloat Got You? Try This Elixir For Great Results

My favorite cheap and easy way to feel better fast, so that you can stop the menobelly bloat.
If you asked doctors what one thing everyone could do right now to improve their health, many of them would say hydrate properly and many would say cut out crappy foods and help the body eliminate toxins.  My favorite, cheap and easy way to feel better fast is something that tackles elements of both!
 
Warm lemon water can be a game changer for health.  In addition to helping meet the recommendation for daily water consumption (eight glasses of water a day), warm lemon water has some added benefits.
 
While plain water is critical for hydrating at a cellular level, lemon adds traces of vitamin C and live enzymes that aid in stopping inflammation and help push toxins out of the liver.   
First thing in the morning, a mug of warm lemon water is a wonderful way to stimulate bowel function and trigger your morning bowel movement.  Believe it or not, 2-3 well-formed bowel movements every day is considered normal.  Less than that and you may suffer from constipation.  Constipation is one reason hormone imbalance happens – when the body cannot excrete excess and spent hormones and toxins via stool, they recirculate, stagnate and make you feel gross. 
Benefits of Warm Lemon Water:
  • Drinking more lemon water will help your body release stored fluid and alleviate bloating.
  • Lemon is rich in essential vitamins, especially Vitamin C, that repair damaged cells and support healthy skin.
  • Lemon water promotes a stronger, healthier immune system.
  • Lemon water pushes toxins out so your bodily systems can function better.
  • Lemon water helps improve the functioning of your digestive system.
  • Lemon water helps the body to absorb essential nutrients.
 
See what happens when you start your day with warm lemon water.  It’s cheap, natural, and likely one of the easiest and most tasty ways to help yourself feel better fast!

3 TIPS TO BALANCE OUT YOUR MIDLIFE HORMONES - Plus Smoothie Recipe

Diet plays a huge role in hormone balancing out your hormones. For women, particularly, hormone imbalance can be the root of many, many health problems that can make you feel crummy, make it difficult to lose or gain weight, impact your fertility and even increase your risk of certain cancers and other serious diseases.
Besides healthy fats (which provide the building blocks for steroid hormone production), fiber is my go-to for overall health. 
The 3 most important reason fiber helps your health and hormones are:
  1. Stabilizing blood sugar
  2. Reducing cortisol levels
  3. Flushing out excess estrogens and toxins
Fiber is a special type of carbohydrate that does not get converted to sugar and therefore does not raise blood sugar levels like other carbohydrates do.
Fiber comes in two forms, soluble and insoluble fiber.
Insoluble fiber is found in the cell walls of plants and cannot be dissolved in water. This adds bulk to stools by binding with water and acting as a stool softener that helps move stool through the digestive tract.
Soluble fiber dissolves in water, helps slow the passage of food through the digestive tract, lower blood sugar levels, and reduces cholesterol (by binding to it and giving it transport out of the body in the stool).
Both soluble and insoluble fiber are essential to a good diet.
Not only does fiber help lower blood sugar but it helps keep blood sugar levels balanced.  It can help you achieve a healthy weight by keeping you feeling fuller longer and ensuring that your bowels are functioning properly. That bowel function is key since fiber helps eliminate excess estrogens and other toxins that mess with hormone balance.
Enjoy a variety of fiber-rich foods in your diet.  Sources of soluble fiber include Oatmeal, Apples, Oranges, Pears, Beans, Lentils, Flax/chia/hemp seeds and Berries.  Insoluble fiber is found in dark leafy greens, Whole grains, Nuts and Seeds, Cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts), celery, and onions.
Increase your fiber intake slowly so that your body can adapt. Sharp increases in fiber can cause digestive distress, so take it slowly to avoid gas and bloating. Recommended intake for women is 35-45 grams of fiber daily (more if you are diabetic.)
Try this delicious recipe to get a little boost of fiber:
Fabulous Fiber Smoothie
Blend 1 frozen banana, ½ cup raspberries, 1 Tablespoon flax seed meal, 2 cups cold water and a few drops of liquid stevia until smooth.  Enjoy!

3 Way's To Get Better Sleep During Peri Menopause

A lack of sleep is common for many women going through peri menopause & menopause. Our hormones aren't functioning the way that they should be. Poor diet, toxic overload a lack of exercise and poor mindset, are all contributing factors. 

In order for your hormones to balance properly, we must get enough sleep. We run the risk of insulin resistance, sugar cravings, anxiety and type 2 diabetes.

When we aren't eating the proper foods and supplying our bodies with the nutrients that are right for us, we run the risk of not being able to fall asleep and stay asleep. There are so many things that can wake us up at night. If you are having a hard time getting to sleep and staying asleep then I have some tips for you to follow that have helped me and my clients tremendously.
  • Follow a bedtime routine: Keeping the same bedtime and wake time will help for you to establish a time that your body can get used to. This will help signal to your body when the time arrives to switch off the lights and put the phone down.
  • Leave your phone and any technology with blue light away from you 2 hours before bed. The blue light stimulates our brain into thinking it's day time and lessens the amount of meletonin in our brains, making it more difficult to fall asleep.
  • Self care: It's a step we can often miss when we are busy. But we need to ensure that we are taking care of ourselves, especially in this season of change or else your hormones will complain. Take an Epsom salt bath before bed. This will help boost your magnesium levels, which can help relax your body and mind. I love tea! Tea is such a inexpensive way to get some high quality nutrients into our bodies. Some of my fav's for relaxing before bed. Camomile tea, lemon balm is amazing also. I also add in my favorite matcha latte's everyday. Matcha is not only an amazing antioxidant, anti inflammatory, but it as the amino acid called L-Theanine. This amino acid has a calming affect on the brain and body and can help relax you! Just be careful of the type of Matcha you drink. Match from India or china can have toxins and molds that can harm our health. Here is my favorite clean and safe Matcha
