🧠GO WITH YOUR GUT 🧠

Did you know that your gut health goes beyond just digestive complaints?

Gut health impacts skin, mood disorders, hormones, and much more.

I use the @diagnosticsolutions GI-MAP test with many of my clients for a variety of reasons, but usually if somethings going on with your fertility, 9 times out of 10 - there's inflammation going on somewhere in your body.

In my own experience, the GI-MAP pointed out LOTS going on in my gut, and I was able to address it all PRIOR to #ttc.

If you're thinking about getting pregnant in the next year, and you're having some of these issues, definitely consider doing some gut health testing.

I'm offering 5 spots for my mini GI-MAP package. Sign up today to get started ASAP and finally figure out whats going on with your gut.

WANT TO START GETTING INTENTIONAL WITH YOUR FERTIL

WANT TO START GETTING INTENTIONAL WITH YOUR FERTILITY DIET?

I know what it's like to scour the internet trying to figure out WHICH foods I should eat for pregnancy.

A common misconception most people believe is that they need to stop eating gluten, dairy, sugar, caffeine, and basically stop enjoying life if they want to conceive.

The REALITY is...

When you eat a diet filled with nutritious foods, you start to think LESS about what you CAN'T eat and think MORE about all the yummy things you CAN eat.

Here are some of my favorite fertility friendly foods you can start incorporating to your diet:

🥬Dark leafy greens - rich in folate, calcium, magnesium and potassium

🍗Quality meat and bone broth - contain glycine, proline, collagen, B vitamins, zinc and absorbable iron

🥦Veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, bokchoy, etc - have sulfur compound to aid in liver detoxification (for happy hormones)

🍓Berries are anti-inflammatory, contain fiber and vitamin C.

🥚Pasture raised eggs - choline in the yolk critical for baby's brain development, complete protein source

🥕Carrots have fiber that can improve digestion - keep the skin on!

Remember: You can eat delicious foods and stop worrying about deprivation when it comes to building a fertility friendly plan.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOLATE AND FOLIC ACID

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOLATE AND FOLIC ACID - AND WHY YOU SHOULD CARE:

Okay loves, let's clear the air on folate because I see this question pop up again and again.

Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9 in food, while folic acid is a synthetic form.

Folate is so important in early pregnancy because it is ESSENTIAL for the development of the neural tube, and early brain formation.

Because folate is water soluble (not fat soluble which can accumulate in fat cells) - you need to constantly replenish your levels. In fact, insufficient folate intake for 2-3 weeks can result in reduced blood concentrations of this important vitamin.

Now why you need to know the difference between FOLATE and FOLIC ACID.

FOLIC ACID is the synthetic form of folate found in most prenatal supplements (think One a day Womens, etc). Folic acid is cheap which is why you'll see the more affordable supplements have this form in them.

The problem is that high intake of folic acid may lead to increased blood levels of unmetabolized folic acid, they can mask a B12 deficiency, and for those who have a genetic mutation in the MTHFR gene (which converts folic acid to folate) - you're left with unmetabolized and unused folic acid.

FOLATE, specificaly 5 methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF) is the active form of folate. It is more expensive than folic acid, which is why prenatal supplements with this form will be more costly.

I hope this clears up some confusion for you! What questions do you have about prenatal supplements or folate -- leave them below! ❤️

PS - If you're looking for more specific help with choosing the right prenatal for you, send me a DM with the word SUPPLEMENT so we can discuss options!

"I closed my eyes to look inward and found a unive

"I closed my eyes to look inward and found a universe waiting to be explored"

I love this quote from @yungpueblo, it's such a good reminder of how important it is to take time to sit, and do nothing.

With our insane schedules, being "on" 24/7, and a million and one to do's, its not only important - its VITAL - to take time to yourself in quiet.

Something I see ALL. THE. TIME. in my practice is women who are completely stressed and burnt out. (I mean, aren't we all?)

I have friends telling me they need to quit their jobs for their sanity, clients who don't get a minute to themselves, and see day in day out how being glued to a screen is harming us more than helping us.

Don't worry - its not all doom and gloom. But I hope you take this post as your reminder to step away from a screen this weekend. Get outside. Do some deep breathing. Get centered.

Drop a ❤️below if you'll be taking some time for yourself this weekend. You need this, boo 😘
