As we all know, each one of us is wildly unique. Each one of our bodies reacts to things differently. The best way to truly decipher what your body prefers is through trial and error. Once you are patient in trusting your own intuition, the rest falls into place. Recently I've been confronted with the conflict that grains bring into my life, so I thought it’d be helpful to share my findings to help those also questioning if grains should be a part of their regular routine or not.

Unsure if your current diet is getting you an adequate amount of nutrients? We can’t all be perfect, after all. It’s unrealistic to expect the modern way of living to promote that kind of perfection. Because of this, the pharmaceutical world created supplements to help offset what's lacking in the modern diet. A theory that seems harmless and almost bulletproof in helping people reach adequate health, but a lot more goes into it than we’d think. Let’s take a closer look at the topic of supplements and how you can best intertwine them within your health practices.

We’ve all heard the expression “you are what you eat”. While that holds validity, as the food you use as fuel for your body gets broken down and becomes a part of your cells, it’s not all true. Many people who eat clean diets and live holistic lifestyles but don’t feel and / or see the results may suffer from issues in absorbing and digesting the nutrients. You may be eating the kale, but it doesn’t do you any good if you're not absorbing its benefits. We are only as healthy as the food we can digest.

As per my previous post on cold water therapy, we know that exposing your body to various extreme temperatures has its benefits. When it comes to the cold, the body sends certain signals.

Hay fever catching up to you this spring time? You’re not alone. Allergies to pollen have increased significantly over recent years, and even though the bloom of spring is beautiful, it can cause serious disruptions to your health. What are allergies? Why do they develop? Is there anything I can do to ease symptoms? Let’s dive deeper into why we suffer and how we can suffer less.

The immune system is a widely understood concept of how it is a system within us that helps to defend from harmful bacteria, but what people don’t always realize is that our gut houses about 70-80% of our immune system. The physical barrier of our gut is lined with immune cells to help process out the good versus the bad in what we’re feeding to our bodies. A beautiful symbiotic relationship, our immune system and gut work tirelessly for our benefit, but sometimes the wiring gets twisted, and immunity goes into overdrive.

We all do it daily (or we all should do it daily), but rarely do we get the chance to talk about it or ask the question, is my shit normal?

You only live once, and you deserve to enjoy the life you live! But there are many things we consume in life’s enjoyments that can backtrack us from the goals we’re trying to achieve.

Whenever I’m craving something sweet or want to treat myself, my go-tos are dark chocolate and high quality reds.
