🥬🍠🥜 HIGH PROTEIN VEGGIES FOR THE WIN! 🥜🍠🥬

Often when we think about protein, animal proteins or protein powders come to mind, right? So, when we mamas find ourselves at midlife and learn that we need to prioritize protein for our health and longevity, we often visualize loading meat onto our plates and scooping powders into our blenders. Doesn’t sound too appetizing, does it?

It’s true that women need more protein as we age because, due to the decline in estrogen, our bodies tend to lose lean muscle mass, bone density and do less effective tissue repair. Protein also helps to stabilize blood sugar.

However, prioritizing protein does not have to be all about meats and powders…although lean meats and clean powders are fabulous options…it is beneficial to know that you can also find protein in veggies (and fruits!).

Here are 10 veggies that pack a protein punch! Plus you get the benefits of the fiber and other nutrients found in them. What are your favorites?

😌 A BIT ABOUT ASHWAGANDHA 😌

For those of you who may be interested in learning a bit more about ashwagandha, one of the active ingredients in InnerCalm, here’s some information about its health benefits and various sources.

Of course, you should check with your doc if you’re concerned about any interactions it may have with any medications you may be on before incorporating it into your regime.

Here’s to peace and calm in perimenopause! 🩷

😌 CALM DOWN, SIS! INNERCALM PINK LEMONADE IS BACK! 😌

Ladies, this is one of my favorite little-known products that we offer in my favorite flavor! And I’m thrilled it’s back for a limited time!

If any of you (perimenopausal or not) ladies here experience heightened levels of stress and anxiety, the two hero adaptogens, ashwagandha and saffron, in InnerCalm may help your body adapt to stress and improve overall well-being. They have been used for centuries to balance mood and stress. This can be especially helpful during the menopause transition.

You will also find the amino acid L-Theanine in InnerCalm which promotes a sense of calm and relaxation.

It’s delicious by itself, with a fizz or in tea. Here’s a link to check it out! 👇🏻

🤗 LET’S CHAT ABOUT PROBIOTICS AND GUT HEALTH! 🤗

If you’d like to learn more about gut health and probiotics, hop on Zoom tonight to join Nurse Practitioner and Arbonne Consultant Deana Andrews as she takes a deep dive into probiotics, specifically the science behind the strands that Arbonne uses in their products. She’s passionate about the topic of gut health and about the power of probiotics and will be sharing with us tonight!

DM ME for Zoom info…

5:30P PST | 6:30P MST | 7:30P CST | 8:30P EST

✨ THE DISH ON PROBIOTICS AND PREBIOTICS…✨

The dish is that maintaining a balance of gut microbes benefits your health in so many ways.

Some of the key benefits include:

👉🏻 helping to digest food and promote gut health

👉🏻 producing essential nutrients which support the immune system

👉🏻 improving moods and mental health

👉🏻 reducing the impact of inflammation and toxin-producing microbes.

But how do we get enough prebiotics and probiotics in our diet? 🤔

PROBIOTIC FOODS 💛

Yogurt, kefir, pickles, sauerkraut, miso, and kombucha. However, not all fermented foods still contain live active cultures of those bacteria by the time they get to the market or grocery store shelf.

Your best bet is to choose fermented products from the refrigerated section and check the product labels to ensure they contain “live active cultures”

PREBIOTIC FOODS 💛

Many of these are rich in the insoluble fiber that health-promoting gut microbes need to thrive.

These include whole grains (oatmeal, farro, brown rice, quinoa), vegetables (asparagus, leeks, onions), starchy vegetables (sweet potatoes, corn), fruit (bananas), and legumes (beans, lentils, peas).

😋 Enjoy a variety of these fiber-rich foods to naturally boost the health and biodiversity of your microbiome.

And if you want to want to use a probiotic or prebiotic supplement to fill in the gaps, you want to look for a strain that is suited for your needs. I typically use ones that support the overall function of my gut microbiome. You’ll also want to consider how many colony forming units (CFUs) there are and how well they survive stomach acids to reach your lower gut and be effective there as well. If you are looking for recommendations, I have a few!

✨ NEW PRODUCT ALERT: DERMRESULTS ADVANCED GEL CLEANSER! ✨

This is a complement and companion to the Cleansing Balm (which I loooooove). You can use it in a double-cleanse routine after the balm or use in the morning or evening instead of the balm.

I just replenished my 5 Step DermResults Advanced Set and added this gel to my order. I can’t wait to try it as I have LOVED the results and the way my skin feels with this regimen. I’ll report back to y’all! 🤍

Mamas! It's National Nutrition Month and if you haven't already started to make some changes in your nutrition choices at midlife, please let this month inspire you to do so. Check out my latest blog post for more details and know that I am here to help guide you through positive nutrition and lifestyle changes at midlife (or anytime!).

National Nutrition Month®: Beyond the Table BEYOND THE TABLE

☝🏻4 TIPS FOR MIDLIFE MENOPAUSAL MAMAS FOR NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH ☝🏻

Mamas! Let’s kick off National Nutrition Month with these 4 important weekly tips you can start implementing throughout the month to nourish your midlife body!

🍀 Week ① Swap refined grains for whole grains.

Whole grains are packed with nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and fiber. This can help aid in satiety, blood sugar control, and digestive health, which are all important for midlife health.
Example: Choose brown rice over white rice.

🍀 Week ② Snack on nuts or seeds instead of chips or processed snacks.

Nuts are a great snack as they are packed with healthy fats we need during midlife. Pair them with some greek yogurt and some fresh berries.

🍀 Week ③ Add a serving of veggies to every dinner.

Adding a serving of veggies to each dinner will increase the amount of fiber you consume, as well as certain vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, all of which are vital to our midlife health.

🍀 Week ④ Have fish twice a week.

Fish is a great source of healthy fats, such as omega-3s. These types of fats are great for cognitive function and heart health at midlife and beyond. Try to get in two servings per week.

👉🏻 By the end of this month, you will have adopted four habits that nourish your midlife body and promote longevity post menopause!

What healthy midlife habits are you going to implement this month?

🧭 For women navigating the menopause journey, prioritizing nutrition isn't just about staying fit and healthy—it's about managing the menopause symptoms and supporting our minds and bodies as our changing hormones seem to turn our worlds on their axis.

You’ll find info on all of that right here with me.

🧘 But…it's not just about what we eat; it's also about how we move our bodies and nourish our souls. It’s as vital for us ladies to “lift heavy stuff” and shoot for 10,000 steps, as it is to sip on herbal teas, practice mindful eating, sleep well and indulge in self-care rituals that nurture our minds and bodies.

😋 So, here's to a month filled with delicious discoveries, mindful moments, and a deeper connection to who we are as women at midlife.
