Feeling like you’re never going to figure out ho

Feeling like you’re never going to figure out how to reach your health goals? I get it! I’ve been there! 😩

We have all had struggles in our life that have taken time to master. In fact this is something we have faced every day since childhood. Think back to when you were learning to tie your shoes or write in cursive. 👟 📝

I don’t know about you guys… but I have a lot of frustrating memories with these things! But, with continued practice, determination, and focus, I was able to master them.

I’m betting you probably did too! 😉

As simple as it sounds, this is really the same thing when it comes to your health journey.

It all comes down to consistency with the habits that move the needle. ✅

While it can feel frustrating, unknown, and a little out of your element… the more you practice the better you get! Plus, the more often you do something the more it becomes a habit. This means eventually you’ll be doing it on autopilot!

The final benefit to showing up consistently is that as you improve and form better habits, I’m willing to bet you’ll see your stress levels reduce as well. Who doesn’t love that?! 🎉

Consistency - meaning learning to practice healthy habits every day is truly the key when it comes to reaching your goal.

This doesn’t mean you have to be perfect every day, think back to childhood! Perfection isn’t required for success.

You just have to keep showing up and doing your absolute BEST every day. ✅

You can do this friend. I believe in your ability to succeed! 💜

And just as a reminder, if you need a little additional support - I’m your girl! 😉

As a Lippy Lady who’s looking to reduce inflamma

As a Lippy Lady who’s looking to reduce inflammation and feel my absolute BEST in my body, I am always looking for simple ways to level up my nutrition. ✅⁣
⁣
For example, making some of my favorite things at home and skipping store-bought options. There are a few benefits to this actually…⁣
⁣
😋 Better taste ⁣
💰 Reduced cost⁣
⬆ More volume for caloric content ⁣
🥑 More fiber & increased satiety⁣
🚫 Less inflammatory ingredients (processed oils, sugar, salt, etc.)⁣
⁣
I mean, what’s not to love about that?! Swipe to see one of my favorite examples… 🥑⁣
⁣
Guacamole “dip” from the store has some pretty dodgy ingredients, the next option is a little better, but the homemade version is best! 😍⁣
⁣
✨ Making guacamole at home means you control the ingredients and can ensure it meets your health goals! Not to mention, when you make it at home you often get a larger serving size for nearly the same number of calories. ⁣
⁣
🥑 Oh, and it usually tastes WAY better too! Swipe to grab a simple recipe that you can whip up any day of the week! ⁣

🧬 The Estrobolome & Lipedema: What You Need to

🧬 The Estrobolome & Lipedema: What You Need to Know! 🌿

The estrobolome, a group of gut bacteria, plays a vital role in regulating estrogen levels. For women with lipedema, maintaining hormone balance—especially estrogen—is crucial to managing symptoms, inflammation, and progression of the condition.

When the estrobolome is imbalanced, excess estrogen can worsen lipedema symptoms like swelling, pain, and weight gain. By focusing on gut health, you can help balance your hormones, reduce inflammation, and support better overall management of lipedema.

✨ Here’s how you can support your estrobolome:

Prioritize fiber—fruits, veggies, and whole grains can feed your good gut bacteria 🌽
Incorporate probiotics like yogurt, kefir, and fermented foods 🥒
Limit sugar and processed foods—they can disrupt hormone regulation 🍬
Stay hydrated and active to keep your gut functioning well 💧
Supporting your estrobolome is more than just good for gut health—it's essential for managing lipedema from the inside out!

Message me for gut mapping, start knowing, stop guessing!

📸 Throwback to a time when I felt like I wasn’t making progress.

Sometimes, it can be hard to see the big picture when we’re so focused on the daily grind. But looking back at these photos reminds me of how far I’ve come.

Remember, progress isn’t always linear. There will be ups and downs along the way. But when you’re feeling stuck, take a moment to look back and celebrate how far you’ve come. It might just be the motivation you need to keep going. 💪

My heart will always break for those who were lost

My heart will always break for those who were lost on September 11th. ❤🤍💙⁣
⁣
I can remember exactly where I was when the news started flashing across the television. I’m sure you can too. ⁣
⁣
As a country, this day rocked us to our core and forced us to dig deep. In times of great tragedy, this country came together. As George Pataki said, ⁣
⁣
“On that terrible day, a nation became a neighborhood. All Americans became New Yorkers.” 🇺🇸⁣
⁣
Today, and every year, let us come together. Let’s pause to remember those who were lost in NY, DC, and PA and hold their loved ones in our hearts. ❤🤍💙⁣
⁣
I pray for peace for those who were affected and for a better future. 9/11, forever in our hearts and never forgotten. ⁣

Around here, I talk a lot about finding a realistic balance that fits your life and makes you feel your best. But what exactly does that mean? 🤔⁣
⁣
This is a question I get so often from clients! Let’s break it down…⁣
⁣
🧁 Does a healthy balance mean always passing up cupcakes at birthday parties? ⁣
⁣
Nope. ⁣
⁣
😩 Does it mean taking “cheat days” and throwing in the towel when life feels hard? ⁣
⁣
Still nope!⁣
⁣
✅ Does it mean spending hours in the gym, meal prepping perfectly, and doing all of the conservative treatments every day? ⁣
⁣
Not a chance! ⁣
⁣
In my opinion, a healthy, livable balance looks something like this…⁣
⁣
🥦 Choosing nourishing, anti-inflammatory foods MOST of the time. This means the majority of your meals should be supportive of your health goals. ⁣
⁣
🚶‍♀️ Moving your body in a way that feels good to you. This is different for everyone! Walking, swimming, stretching, strength training, and even the vibration plate are all great options! ⁣
⁣
😴 Prioritizing stress relief and adequate sleep. This is a MUST friends, not an extra! We need to keep stress levels under control and get enough sleep every night (7 hours minimum) to reduce inflammation. ⁣
⁣
🧁 Enjoying occasional treats and fun foods that make you happy. Notice how I said occasionally? That’s really what we’re going for here, friends. 1-2 treats per week is a healthy amount of indulgence!⁣
⁣
🔑 The key is understanding that this is for LIFE. We’re not about going on or off diets around here. Instead, we focus on what we can do for the long haul to support our whole selves. ⁣
⁣
Body, mind and soul! Proper nutrition, hydration, and movement feed your body. Sleep, and stress relief cares for your mind and body, and those fun foods feed the heart and soul. ⁣
⁣
You need all of these ingredients to bake a beautiful, nourishing life my friends! 💜⁣
⁣
So tell me…. What’s your healthy balance look like? Share below! ⁣

Ever wondered what "modified food starch" is? It

Ever wondered what "modified food starch" is?

It's a common food additive used to prevent caking, thicken, and stabilize processed foods.

In the US, if wheat is used, it must be labeled as "modified wheat starch" or "modified food starch (wheat)."
Other sources include corn, tapioca, potato, and maize.

So, the next time you see this ingredient on a label, you'll know it's a component that helps give processed foods their desired texture and consistency.

But should you eat it? Here are some potential factors to consider:

📌 Modified wheat starch is often processed to reduce fiber content, which can impact the microbiome. Fiber is essential for feeding beneficial gut bacteria.

📌 Excessive consumption of processed foods create chronic inflammation, which can negatively affect the microbiome and lipedema.

If you want to enjoy a tortilla, or another product with "modified wheat starch" GO FOR IT, just make sure it's not something you consume in high amounts everyday!
