Live Blood Analysis with Chantal

Please follow me at Be Authentically Well!!!!! I will be closing this account.

I have officially been off coffee for over a month now. I need to share this milestone with you all because it is a huge one for me. ☕️☕️☕️☕️

I now realize that I had a very unhealthy relationship with coffee. I know....I know what you are thinking. “Girl, it’s just coffee no biggie”. Actually it was a really big deal.
Do you know that addiction can come in all different forms and all look differently? The meaning of addiction states “the fact or condition of being addicted to a particular substance, thing or activity”.

I was definitely ADDICTED to this substance. I would drink at least 4 cups a day and was spending a ridiculous amount of money on purchasing them at coffee shops. Every time I had one I would get a quick sensation of bliss followed by extreme brain fog, outstanding fatigue and sometimes it would throw my belly off. But......I didn’t care! It was all worth it for me for that quick moment of bliss. WHAT?????? Doesn’t this just seem insane?!

I’m in no way an addiction expert but I’m assuming that there is definitely something lacking emotionally, physically or physiologically in order for one to become so addicted to something. I’m really not sure why this happened but I sure do know that part of my journey is to look inwards and ask myself some pretty big questions and allowing things to surface along the way and deal with them one at a time. In the meantime I am so pleased and content to be moving forward and I’ll continue to do this with one foot in front of the other. ❤️🙏

Stay tuned for how I got off coffee and what I used for my alternatives that worked WONDERS by the way. 😉😉

Now let me ask you a question. Is there something in your life that you feel that you cannot live without even though it’s detrimental for your health????

Day 1 without coffee! LORD GIVE ME STRENTGH 🙏🙏🙏

Coffee and I have a love/hate relationship. I LOVE it but it HATES me. 😏😏😏 This isn’t the first time I have cut coffee out of my life folks. It’s seriously on ongoing battle. I just really have come to realize that I will NEVER reach my full potential of feeling the best I can feel with coffee in my life. Sooooooo here we go again 🙄🙄🙄 I hope one day I can come to a point that I could be an occasional coffee drinker but I know that I cannot drink it daily any longer.

I am a very high strung person and have a mind that constantly goes........coffee makes this worse. I also have more of a fiery type personality, Pitta type and....coffee makes it worse. I also tend to be more on the acidic side due to my blood type....coffee makes this worse. And finally and most importantly my vestibular condition intensifies with inflammation and unfortunately......coffee makes it worse 😭😭😭😫😫😫

Wish me luck guys!!!! In the meantime this lovely roasted dandelion tea will have to do the trick.

I went back to the clinic today after some renovations to set up my office and get ready for my first day back next week in this new Covid world. A sink has been added to my room, some fancy flexie glass, beautiful new floors, and freshly painted walls. I feel comfortable, prepared and ready!!!! Looking forward to being back. ☺️ 🩸🔬 Waterdown Clinic of Functional and Integrative Medicine Microcell Sciences, Live Blood

Who else likes to add fruit to their salads???

My sister is for sure cringing as she looks at this photo LOL 🤣😂. There are definitely some that believe fruit does not belong in a salad.

I am all for it. Bring it on!!! 🙌🙌🙌

I’ve been a busy beaver over here while stuck at home over this pandemic. I’m SUPERRRRR excited to share what I’ve been working on. Stay tuned!!!!

I’m super excited that my Arbonne 30 day cleanse came in. 🙌🙌

For those of you that know me....know that I love doing 2 cleanses a year.
One in the fall and one in the spring.

I typically don’t use supplements or products to help me cleanse because I believe in the pure power of foods and juices for this purpose. And I usually build and design my own cleanses. However, I do like to try different cleanses on the market (if I believe in the company) and let’s just say I like to be a guinea pig for my own clients. 😉😉😉

I have been a HUGE Arbonne fan for years and I love their skin care line. However, I have never tried their nutrition line. So it made sense to give a try.

This 30 day to healthy living comes with two bags of protein powder, fiber, digestive enzymes, detox tea and fizz sticks (which I’m obsessed with). And YES I’m allowed to eat real food as well. This isn’t about starving yourself people.

So far so good folks! 👍👍👍 I’ll definitely track my progress and keep you all in the loop.

As we start to open up...You do you, I'll do me. That's what Canada is all about. None of us have the same circumstances (medically high risk child/family member or a business about to go under, etc.). Let's all stay in our own lanes and keep the judgment down as we begin to reopen. No one should feel pressured either way.

Just a thought...As premiers are trying to figure out how to ease back into normal, please remember:

🛑 Some people don’t agree with the province opening...that’s okay. Be Kind.
🏡 Some people are still planning to stay home...that’s okay. Be Kind.
🦠 Some are still scared of getting the virus and a second wave happening...that’s okay. Be Kind.
💰 Some are sighing with relief to go back to work knowing they may not lose their business or their homes...that’s okay. Be Kind.
👩🏾‍⚕️Some are thankful they can finally have a surgery they have put off...that’s okay. Be Kind.
📝 Some will be able to attend interviews after weeks without a job...that’s okay. Be Kind.
😷 Some will wear masks for weeks...that’s okay. Be Kind.
💅🏻 Some people will rush out to get their hair or nails done...that’s okay. Be Kind.
❤️ The point is, everyone has different viewpoints/feelings and that’s okay. Be Kind.

We each have a different story. If you need to stay home, stay home...But Be Kind. If you need to go out, just respect others when in public and Be Kind!
Don’t judge fellow humans because you’re not in their story. We all are in different mental states than we were months ago. So remember, Be Kind.

My 10 year old daughter just made me this for lunch 🤤. She has been watching a lot of cooking shows and she wears an apron all day long and wants to be referred to as “chef”. I clearly am reaping the benefits. 🙌🙌🙌 Another nutritionist in the family perhaps 🤔.... possibly! 🤷🏻‍♀️👍

Happy Earth Day!!!

What do you do to help our planet earth???

BREATHE..... and S L O W down!

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like a higher power is telling us to slow the F down???

I obviously do not like what is happening to people right now and I’m sad for those that have been effected by covid 19. However, on the flip side I am welcoming this break and enjoying it immensely. I truly believe there is so much opportunity in what is happening to us right now. It’s just all based on perspective. I think this is happening to us to force us to appreciate what is truly important in life and what truly matters:

FAMILY
A SAFE COZY HOME
FOOD
ENJOY NATURE
And for goodness sakes to stop spending money.

This rat race we have been on for decades needs to stop. We are clearly proving that things can be done on a business level from our homes with great balance while hanging out with our little people and making time for them.

Please use this time wisely as it won’t last forever. Take great pride and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Enjoy sleeping in a little, going to bed earlier, dancing like no one is watching, baking, cooking, stretching, moving our bodies, spend time in nature, hug a tree, marvel at a lady bug, rest the mind and best of all enjoy hanging out with....YOURSELF!!! Sending all my love and energy to all of you out there virtually. 🙏😘🥰❤️

I am offering virtual appointments since the new cool thing seems to be
Both of my clinics have recently closed and we are trying to do our part by keeping our staff and patients as healthy as possible. Unfortunately my live blood appointments have been cancelled and will be rescheduled. This is a service that cannot be offered virtually.
I know nutrition might be the last thing on your mind but please 🙏 remember that it should actually be on the top of you list for things that are important. I would love to help you out in anyway I can when it comes to choosing the best food options for us right now during this difficult time. I am offering free 15 minute phone consultations to briefly speak to see if my services can help you.
I wish you all an amazing day and I hope you are all staying safe and well. 🙏❤️ 😘

This is what my cart looked like this am. What did yours look like???? I just want to take this important time to remind everyone that unfortunately the boxed food will not support your immune system during this time and will not fight off viruses. What your body needs are essential minerals and vitamins coming from vegetables, fruit and good quality meats and of course our healthy fats. Fresh is best and frozen is still a great option. In terms of supplements I’ve been stocking up on vitamin C, oil of oregano, elderberry, colloidal silver, vitamin D and my favourite pascoe Leucyn. If anyone has any questions regarding this or need some help with what the essentials should be please message me.....I would love to help you!!! 🙏🙏🙏 thank you

In all seriousness message me if you are interested!!!

Enjoying some “me time” before my Lovely little girls are home with me for the next 3 weeks. 😀🤭😳😏😬🙃😆

When your daughter is on day 6 of being wicked sick with a cold. I’m DETERMINED to get her well through natural remedies. 💪💪💪 MAMA TO THE RESCUE!!!

Are you SUPER confused with all the different diets out there???? Are you getting conflicting knowledge on what is and isn’t heathy???? 😰😰😰😰
I’m speaking at the Burlington Goodness Me this Saturday February 22nd from 10:30-12pm.

With so much information out there, it is hard to know what diet to follow and what is or isn't healthy. Let's explore the fundamentals of nutrition such as macro-nutrient education and simple tips and tricks to help with better digestion. Simply getting back to basics might be all you need!

Wishing you all a fantastic day! ❤️😘
