What does nourishment really mean?
When all three areas are prioritized, we can see massive transformation.
Food is sp much more than just calories. Vitamins, minerals, fiber, tastes, textures and the rituals we create with foods and drinks impact the bioenergetics of food.
Fitness is the best tool to level up our mental and physical health. However, fitness should not be used as the only was the calm our minds. This can actually lead to an imbalance in our nervous system (shown through markers such as Heart Rate Variability, menstrual health and even muscle recovery).
Frequency refers to our energetic vibration. Our frequency is impacted by the mental, emotional and spiritual practices we integrate into our lives. These can help us build self-awareness, allowing us to commit to more challenging goals and become aware of which habits are no longer serving us.
Before we even get to functional labs, I encourage you to learn and implement the protocols from the three guides below. This is what we focus on in Tier 1 of the Flourish Membership. Learning and taking action to create change in our lives is an on-going journey, but getting started can feel like the hardest stage!
Why eat for hormones? How is this different than normal “healthy eating”?
When it comes to nutrition, there really is no one-size-fits all approach. Much of my work as a registered dietitian has been helping both pre-menopausal women (meaning still menstruating) and menopausal women learn how to eat in a way that supports their endocrine systems. Unfortunately, years of misinformation and the dieting industry promoting low-fat, low-calorie diets has been extremely harmful for women’s health outcomes. Lack of micronutrients in our food supply has also played a part. Pioneers such as Weston A Price Foundation and women’s health experts like Dr. Lara Briden and Dr. Christian Northrup have been sharing how to eat whole-foods, nutrient dense diets for years now. In my coaching I share principles from these timeless resources as well as the most current, nutrition research on women’s health.
Food foundations you’ll learn in this guide:
Adequacy: are you eating enough consistently?!
Blood Sugar: are you keeping blood sugar stable by combining your carbs with protein AND fat?
What foods are best for the gut? Should you eliminate any foods for gut health?
Micronutrients: do you have a bioavailable multivitamin? are you getting enough vitamin A and D?
