Juicing Recipes - Ultimate Juice Recipe Resouce

Hi, guys! I’m partnering  again with Kristin from Thrive by Food , but, this time, we’re working to help balance my wacky hormones . Cliff Notes: I took hormonal birth control (the pill) for 15 years, gave birth to Quinn, and then things just weren’t right after that, so I stopped all forms of hormonal birth control about a year ago. Since then, my body has been all over the place with regard to symptoms – some months better, some months worse than others. I’ve struggled with everything from acne and mood swings to fatigue and night sweats and more. I tried seed cycling for about 9 months and really loved it. I saw so many improvements with regard to my hormones and overall wellness. Really, I thought seeds were magical ! But then the seeds stopped working. I was no longer experiencing the hormonal “balance” I had in the past, and a number of old symptoms started to pop up again. My periods also started to get somewhat irregular. I always knew seed cycling was just a “...

Happy weekend everyone! I’m celebrating with some overnight oats Topped with raspberries and banana. I’ve actually been into classic yogurt lately instead of Greek. I’m liking it’s smoother texture and how it coats fruit better. It’s been a fun change to the breakfast bowl routine. You might have seen on Insta that I tried out the Roots app! Instead of waiting in line and paying for parking in the garage, you order your bowls on the app and then swing in with flashers on and pick up your bowl, which is labeled with your order number. I had a little trouble with a road closure and going the wrong way on a one way street to get out, but that temporary problem was worth getting this uber delicious lunch!! I’ve been on a serious take-out lunch kick (can I blame pregnancy on this?) and while it’s not great for my dining out budget, it’s been great for my nutrition because I’ve been eating so many superfood-packed meals and salads! Baby needs those superfoods. (LOVE their BBQ tofu too!...

As you guys probably know, I’m ALLLLLL about educating myself about new ways to help myself and others live a more balanced, “cleaner” lifestyle, so I’m now more aware than ever of what I put IN and ON my body. That being said, if I over-analyzed every GMO, pesticide, chemical, toxin, and more, I would literally be living in a protective bubble and that is just so unrealistic – plain and simple! So, I pick and choose my battles, based on what has the biggest impact on my life and my family’s life. As you know, clean water – plenty of it – is a building block of basic good health. Our bodies are made up of mostly water and it plays a huge role in so many bodily functions, including hydration, nutrient transportation, detoxification, and more. But do you really know what’s in your tap water?  Do you know when you last changed the water filter in your refrigerator? Can you truly trust that $20 Brita water pitcher in your fridge? These are all legitimate questions I asked mysel...

Most of the time you’ll find me working at my dining room table, wearing workout clothes with a messy ponytail. I prefer to work at home because I have access to a fridge and a clean bathroom, reliable wifi, my laundry room, outfit changes, and unlimited sparkling waters. Whenever I think it might be fun to go to a coffeeshop, all of these reasons keep me home. However, I had a few meetings that sent me downtown wearing a dress, and I enjoyed my outings so much! I think I just need to force myself to leave the house a bit – especially while I can! (October, I’m looking at you…) Since I have one cup of coffee first thing in the AM, I have been sticking to caffeine-free lattes while out. The milk serves as a bit of a snack too. On days when I’m planning a latte, I have a lighter breakfast, like toast with peanut butter and fruit.
