REAL TALK…. Just because it’s COMMON, doesn’t mean it’s NORMAL 📣⁣
⁣
Symptoms are a sign that our body is trying to tell us something. Our bodies try to communicate with us daily, and it’s important to understand what these signals mean so you can get closer to healing! ⁣
⁣
While it’s normal to have a full tummy when you eat too much, getting bloated everyday after meals is NOT normal. Bloating is usually due to a sluggish liver. A sluggish liver can be caused by heavy metals in the body, your diet (usually a higher fat diet will do this), too much stress, and not enough healing food (fruits, veggies).⁣
⁣
Not going 💩 everyday is a sign your body isn’t functioning as properly as it should. Pathogens that your body hasn’t detoxed out sit in the intestinal tract and can grow overtime, causing constipation. A big culprit of this is eggs and wheat. Both cause gut inflammation and should be avoided if you’re not regular everyday! ⁣
⁣
News flash ‼️ coffee does not GIVE you energy! It stimulates your brain’s receptors for a temporary burst of energy. If you wake up tired and can’t function without coffee, this could be a sign of adrenal fatigue. You should be awake and alert everyday without needing anything to “wake you up”. Coffee also dehydrates you, adds to adrenal fatigue, and can cause headaches, anxiety, hair loss, insomnia, weight gain, and blood sugar issues. ⁣
⁣
We have normalized running on little sleep, constantly on the go and not prioritizing our health. Sleep is SO crucial if you want to feel good, prevent disease, and live longer. It is not normal to not get at least 7-8 hours every night. ⁣
⁣
Cravings are NOT something one should have as often as the average person does. Cravings are your body trying to tell you it needs something from you. Ex: if you’re craving sugary snacks, usually this means that your body needs glucose, in the form of FRUIT. When our bodies are lacking vital fruit sugar, it signals our brain for it, and we just think we need a cookie but we actually need healthy glucose. ⁣
⁣
It’s important to understand our bodies signals to know that feeling like 💩 is NOT NORMAL. You deserve to feel your best!⁣
⁣
Does any of this surprise you?

There’s just something about fall that is warm and comforting. Eating foods that are in season can actually help soothe the digestive tract and help with symptoms like bloating, acid reflux, and stomachaches. ⁣
⁣
I like to focus on earthy, fall type foods this time of year to boost my gut health and enjoy some autumn flavors 🍂🍁🥮⁣
⁣
I love enjoying these foods on their own or in smoothies, homemade baked goods, and to add some more flavor to my meals! ⁣

The food that you eat matters 🗣️⁣
⁣
There is an entire group of health professionals pushing this “no food is good or bad” narrative when that is simply not true! ⁣
⁣
This usually is well received because people want to hear that they can eat whatever they want with zero consequences. Most of our processed, packaged food contains ingredients linked to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity. ⁣
⁣
What we eat absolutely matters! And paying attention to what you put into your body is the best form of self care. You only have 1 physical body here on this earth, why would you purposely not take care of it to the best of your ability? ⁣
⁣
133 million Americans AND COUNTING, are suffering with at least 1 chronic health symptom, and over 95% of chronic illnesses and symptoms we see today are directly linked to diet and lifestyle.⁣
⁣
I’m not here to sugarcoat nutrition, no matter what, because my goal is to help you HEAL. As someone who has suffered for over 10 years with my health and successfully healed myself holistically, my passion is to speak the truth, raise awareness, and help people get their health back. ⁣
⁣
The food that you eat can be the greatest form of medicine or the slowest form of poison. ⁣
⁣
SHARE THIS with as many people as possible and make sure you’re following for more health truths!

If you’re so obsessed with fruit, just say so 😉⁣
⁣
They’re really out here trying to fool us into thinking that fruit has “too much sugar” but FRUIT FLAVORED candy and junk food is okay in the name of “moderation” and “balance”.⁣
⁣
I find it so ironic that companies make so many products fruit flavored and people will gladly consume it but are still confused if fruit is healthy or not. It’s all intentional to put money in their pockets, lower our awareness, and keep us sick. ⁣
⁣
So many doctors and health experts will bash fruit, telling people to limit their fruit or even remove it completely, swearing that the sugar content is “killing them”, but won’t tell them the problem with consuming junk food and candy loaded with ingredients that are known carcinogens (cancer causing). ⁣
⁣
Truth bomb: fruit contains glucose, the sugar our brain runs on. We need this sugar to stay alive. This sugar is not the same sugar that you’ll find in junk food and candy, it’s naturally occurring. It HEALS. Fruit should be consumed in abundance. ⁣
⁣
Stop fearing fruit, stop restricting fruit, and stop avoiding fruit 🍑🥭🍒🍈🍌🍉🍇🍓🫐

2 years without alcohol 🍸 here’s why I no longer drink:⁣
⁣
I started drinking when I was 15. I loved every part of going out to house parties with friends and drinking anything we had available to us. I continued drinking through my teenage years, and in college, I was going out to parties and bars 4-5 times a week. I’d go out on a random Thursday night and go to class the next day, barely surviving 🥴⁣
⁣
After graduating, I continued going out in my hometown, loving the “party culture”, but dealing with 2 day hangovers. I couldn’t eat or move from bed, I had a racing heart, severe anxiety, migraines, nausea/ vomiting, dizziness, acne, irritability, and my entire weekend would be compromised. ⁣
⁣
This was around the time I started my health journey, so after already making some dietary changes for my health, I decided to swap out beer for wine, thinking it would be the healthier option. ⁣
⁣
I thought “well wine has health benefits, so this is a great thing to drink instead!” but I still felt sick the entire next day, even after 1 glass of wine. ⁣
⁣
I started to dive deeper into why I was still forcing myself to drink despite how bad it was making me feel, and realized how normalized drinking is in our society. It was at the center of every happy hour, brunch, birthday, holiday, and celebration. It was even something I drank when I had a long, stressful day.⁣
⁣
I felt like I had to keep drinking to fit in and avoid the whole “why aren’t you drinking?!” questions, but after a while, I didn’t care to please other people and that my health and happiness was my responsibility, something I had to do for me, no one else.⁣
⁣
People who tried to make me feel shame around choosing not to drink were projecting their insecurities onto me, and it wasn’t my job to force myself to do something I didn’t like simply because they were lost, confused, and unhappy.⁣
⁣
I don’t drink because I don’t want to, I don’t like it, and it doesn’t serve me anymore, simple as that.⁣
⁣
Life is MORE fun this way. I don’t miss those hangovers and nights I don’t remember.⁣
⁣
Drinking isn’t cool anymore, at least to me, and I’m much happier and healthier without it 💙💖💛

My Healthy Fall Favorites that I approve of ✔️ for a healthy gut, hormones, and immune system!⁣
⁣
Maple butter: it isn’t fall until I have my maple butter. Trader Joe’s comes out with it every year around this time, but the brand Sapjack sells it year round 🤩 I get mine from Sprouts or you can order it online. Just maple syrup in the ingredients, nothing else!⁣
⁣
Pumpkin pie essential oil: I’m a pumpkin girlie so all things pumpkin spice for me please! I love the brand Revive for essential oils. They have holiday ones for any occasion but I love using this flavor in my home during the fall months!⁣
⁣
Chai tea: chai tea was the only caffeinated beverage I drank before I stopped consuming caffeine but the brand Big Hearts Tea has been everything I missed and more! All herbal, healthy, clean ingredients!⁣
⁣
Sweet potato chips: sweet potatoes can be enjoyed year round of course, but they are even more enjoyable in the fall. I get these from Thrive Market and they’re such a fun, fall treat!⁣
⁣
Pumpkin pie bars: lara bars are my go-to bar for a clean, ingredient-conscious snack and they don’t miss when it comes to a fall flavor with this pumpkin pie kind!⁣
⁣
Non-toxic candles: this candle is made with essential oils with notes of cinnamon, topped with poppyseeds and peppermint. Butter me up Organics is my favorite place to shop for non-toxic everything 😍 use code TIFF10 for 10% off your order :)⁣
⁣
Snacking seeds: sometimes you just want some seeds to top your salad with, throw on a smoothie bowl, or eat as a snack. These cinnamon flavored seeds are perfect for this time of year!⁣
⁣
Cinnamon maple syrup: if you want more maple in your life, this cinnamon vanilla maple syrup is perfect for baking, topping pancakes and waffles, or even used in smoothies for added sweetness!⁣
⁣
Vanilla bean powder: I stopped using vanilla extract as it contains alcohol, so I use this ground vanilla bean powder instead! It is so delicious and affordable!⁣
⁣
Apple cider: this Country Acres apple cider screams fall, and it’s only made with 100% organic apples!⁣

“What supplement should I take for ____?”

Most people want to start taking supplements because they want a more natural alternative to a pharmaceutical drug and don’t want to deal with a long list of side effects, but it seems like this “what do I take?” culture is starting to look very similar to the pharmaceutical industry where you just take a pill for a symptom without getting to the root cause.

“My acid reflux is horrible. Every time I eat I get the worst heartburn. What supplement would you recommend?”

“I get the worst headaches and migraines. What supplement should I take to make them go away?!”

“My acne is so bad. I breakout all over my face and I need to get rid of this. Do you have any supplements that would be good for acne?”

“My hormones are all messed up. I have PCOS, I don’t have regular periods, and I get awful cramps. What supplement should I take?”

If you’re looking for a quick fix but you want the natural way, those two things cannot happen at the same time. Most people don’t like it when I tell them that healing for them needs to come down to a full lifestyle change. I’m talking lowering your toxic load, swapping out products and snacks, eating a cleaner diet, working on mindset. A lot of people don’t like being told they need to make a change. I get it, you want to feel better YESTERDAY, but you need to understand that illness doesn’t happen over night and neither does healing.

You’re looking for natural alternatives on a pharmaceutical timeline. Taking a bunch of supplements everyday without addressing the root cause and making lifestyle changes is not going to heal you. This could actually make you feel worse since you’re putting so much into your body at once.
