Nourished Nomad

How was the first week of 2023 for you?

I'm not big on resolutions and starting the year off full speed. I prefer to start at a slower pace, reflecting on what's been working and what needs some tweaking. What habits need to get brushed off and set back in place, and most importantly what needs to come off my plate so that I have space for what keeps my life nourished!

I have always started the year by doing a cleanse, what it looks like has changed over the years but for the last 15 years January has been about getting real simple and clear with how I feed my body, so I can also get real simple and clear with my mind and spirit.

How do you start your year every year? Have you done cleanses or fasts? What's worked? What hasn't? I'd love to know!

We are bringing back our VISION + VITALITY CLEANSE Jan 23, this is a week long cleanse where we totally have your back, with grocery lists, recipes, optional supplements, spiritual practices, motivation from both Kate and I.

Are you joining us?

Focusing on your vision and your vitality at the beginning of 2023 will really set you up for sustained success all year!

Unpopular view - ditch the sunglasses as much as possible!

I know I know, even I love my cute sunglasses. But seriously other than for long drives I try to let my eyes see natural, unfiltered, sunglass free light.

Why?
When our eyes are exposed to sunlight they:

☀️signal our pineal gland to make melatonin which will help us
get a better nights sleep
☀️ begin the process of making Vitamin D
☀️ signal our cells to make energy
☀️ target the proper production of our s*x hormones

Sunrise and sunset have the light frequencies that are best for this - so why not do something radical today - go outside with naked eyes!

Want more rebellious light knowledge? Tune inTuesday Dec. 27 at 6pm ET to our Vitamin Light: Spirit + Science webinar! RSVP at the link in our bio

"Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows."
— Helen Keller.

We are beings of light + our spiritual + physical bodies need light to thrive.

If you are curious about how light affects our moods + how to combat it, light vs shadow work, how to heal with light, and the toxic effects of blue light exposure, sign up for our upcoming webinar today. We will join together on Dec 19th, replay is available if you cannot make the live session.

Link in bio to RSVP for the Vitamin Light webinar as we dive into how to step into the light. ✨✨

You know those people that after you leave them you just feel...lighter?

Those good vibe, full of love, positive energy peeps?

Ya...we love those people too!

When you think about it for a minute - we are all energy, so it makes sense that folks we love being around legitimately have:
✨ energy that we are in sync with
✨ a cellular vibration that affects our vibration
✨ the ability to effect our mood

The Heart Math Foundation conducted a study called, ⚡️The Electricity of Touch⚡️. The results showed “when people touch or are in proximity, a transference of the electromagnetic energy produced by the heart occurs,”

We are bringing you a new webinar on Dec. 19 | 7pm ET where we explore Light and all the ways scientifically, energetically + spiritually we are affected by the quality of light we surround ourselves with. RSVP at the link in our bio - Come on and hang out in our light for the evening!

What is Light Language??

Light Language is used as a way of healing + evolving.
It comes in many forms: spoken, written, transmitted through binaural beats, danced, signed with the hands, and more. You can create positive messages and intentions at a higher quantum level. How cool??

In our upcoming science + spirit webinar: Vitamin Light, we will discuss many hot topics that help build awareness around Light + activating your highest self.

Some of these topics include:
- Light Beings
- Light Language
- Shamanic Upper Realm
- Healing with Light
- DNA + Light

When I read this quote it was a bit of a gut punch - especially as a nutritionist, in my over a decade of practice I had NEVER considered the role of light in the overall health of myself or my clients.

And then I thought about myself at the lowest point of my burn out - despite eating decently and exercising 2-3 x a week I was not seeing any improvement in my health. But here's what the rest of my day looked like at that time:

🔌 horrible insomnia - up until 2 or 3 am watching Netflix
🔌 long work days on my laptop
🔌 workouts in a gym with artificial lighting
🔌 no time outside
🔌 living on sugar + caffeine just to get through the day

I was plugged into artificial light all day everyday.

It has taken time to shift my relationship with light - and it has been worth it!

For those of you who joined our , last week seeing the sunrise or sunset is a gift to yourself that you have only just begun to reap the benefits of including:

☀️ better sleep
☀️ regulated circadian rhythm
☀️ more vitamin D production
☀️ enhanced immune system
☀️ boosted mood
☀️ healthy hormone production
☀️ deeper connection to yourself, nature and the divine

We are going into all things Vitamin Light at our last webinar of 2022 Tuesday December 27 at 6pm ET. RSVP at the link in our bio to be there live, or to have a access to ALL our webinars from this year, sign up for our I.M. Unity Community (it makes so much sense given all the benefits of membership!)

We are also announcing the winner of the at the webinar. The lucky winner will get to go shopping in the NN shop with $100 gift card!

It's so easy to lose ourselves this time of year. Pieces of you get lost between the dark days and the obligatory cheer of party after party.

I find it hard to reconcile this season, when the cycles of our light here in the North call to us to rest and be still and contemplate. To plant new seeds and let them sit in the dark. To snuggle with our loved ones more, to sleep more, to be in darkness more.

Yet our culture dictates that we try to fill our time with acquaintances, and loud restaurants, with too much artificial light, with too many to do's and not enough to be's.

One of the ways I like to draw my power back to what feeds my soul is to create ceremony around the New Moon. To set intentional intentions that honour where I am at, and not where the world tells me I should be.

If a quiet hour of contemplation, journalling, guided meditation and intention setting for the NEW MOON in CAPRICORN is calling your name - I would love to have you as part of the circle this FRIDAY DECEMBER 23rd at 7pm ET. Follow the link in the bio to RSVP

FRIDAY DECEMBER 23RD at 7PM ET.

The past several months of new moons have had such heavy energy attached to them, multiple planets in retrograde and messages surrounding deep wound healing and really letting what needed to die, die.

We have done the hard work and with this New Moon in Capricorn there is a HUGE sense of new beginnings coming in!

🌚 Looking to set some new health goals?
🌚 Have a new business project you want to launch?
🌚 Ready to level your goals up?

Add power to any and all big goals, commitments and decisions using the power of the NEW MOON!

🌚 🖤🌚 🖤🌚🖤

We are cyclical beings and when we harness the power of the moon into our daily lives we work in flow, not against it.

♑️ New Moon in CAPRICORN brings us a beautiful opportunity to see our potential... and to dream our legacy into being.

Come bring your intentions for a power up by RSVPing at the link in our comments!

When you think about being healthy - do you mainly think about nutrition and exercise?

I did for a long time - and you know what even when I ate super clean, and exercised diligently, and even when my clients did the same, I didn't see my health really improve.

I have spent 2022 learning and putting into practice the cutting edge science around light - yes light! ☀️ ☀️ ☀️

I now believe access to natural light and limiting artificial light is FUNDAMENTAL to living a vibrant, healthy light. So fundamental, that we now consider it a Vitamin.

On Tuesday December 27 at 6pm ET we will be hosting ☀️ VITAMIN LIGHT ☀️, our last webinar of 2022 to share with you the science + spiritual ways to incorporate more light into your life!

RSVP today, join us live to take part in the Q + A. A replay will be available as well. Or to access all of our webinars from 2022, enter the I.M.Unity Community!

Sunrise in Downtown Guelph this morning for Kat! Saturdays means to grab fresh local food for the week. Did you know that local food is great for helping you sync your light rhythm with the cycles of where you live because the food matches the light environment that you are living in! Want more cutting edge science around light and our health? Make sure you RSVP for our webinar Monday.

The sunrise has this strange effect on me...I noticed as I walked down the trail this morning I was excited, like Christmas morning excited to turn the corner and witness the magick of today's sky, every day each sunrise is different and equally beautiful! And then....the excitement settles into the most beautiful calm that I carry with me for the day!

The sky is full of magick - have you seen it?

SHE (I, ) DID IT!

Made it out for the sunrise today and will also attempt to catch the sunset.

After being out (in the sunshine) yesterday I felt much more like sleeping than I have in a while!

Today is DAY ONE of the with for a chance to win $100 with us!

Did you get outside yet today? It's not too late!

I got out juuuuust a few minutes after sunset, but this grey day made it tough to keep track of the time!

Either way, it's always lovely to be outdoors, and today I joined forces with a friend and their dog to get even more fun out of my walk.

Let's keep each other accountable, outdoor time benefits all of us!

Today is the first day of the

did you get outside yet today? it’s not to late!

Remember the sun sets at 4:44pm - get out there take some deep breaths and snap a photo to share with us!

This “sunrise” photo was taken at my favourite trail close to my home, and even though there’s no sun, just being out there knowing the some is behind the clouds helped me feel more energized today.

Would love to see your favourite places to soak in the sun… so remember…

We hope to see you at the Full Moon Integrations tomorrow. Link in bio to RSVP. 😀

What would be a really good use of your time??

Join us on Dec. 8th at 7 PM EST for the Full Moon in Gemini Integrations 🌕

Be prepared to think in a practical way, about what is useful AND valuable and moving into this energy. How do you want to organize yourself? What feels efficient, powerful, and good to you at this time?

Your mind has so much power. When you make up your mind to do something, you cut off the extreme polarity or extreme imbalances and bring it back into balance. If you find yourself overeating, oversleeping, or anything not in balance this FULL Moon is an amazing opportunity to put everything in perspective and bring back the balance.

Full Moons are times of emotional intensity and sensitivity, characterized by moments of breakthrough and understanding during the course of a few days. When the Moon and Neptune are in a hard aspect, our sensitivity has no boundaries: it’s important that we learn to understand the difference between what is ours and what is not, and that we don’t take responsibility for the feelings of others.

Link in Bio to sign up for our Full Moon event!

Spiritual teachings have long held that we are beings of light.

Join the Nourished Nomad community as we gain more knowledge on how light is connected through science: supporting our bodies AND spirit: raising our awareness + connecting deeper with ourselves and the universe.

In our current world, we are exposed to large amounts of blue light (light from our phones and TVs) and are chronically deficient in receiving the abundance of natural light we need to thrive.

Hope to see you at our upcoming webinar on Dec. 19th at 7 PM EST. RSVP today to join us.

Your body needs natural light. ☀️

The body thrives when we get optimal levels of sunlight. In the winter months, when it is more of a challenge to get enough Vitamin D because of days and days of cold and cloudy weather, it is more important than ever to get light when you can. That means sunrise, morning sunlight, and ANY sunlight is better than none.

Coming soon - Vitamin Light: Spirit + Science!! RSVP today to join us on Dec 19th at 7PM EST.

Fact check: Natural sunlight has multiple health benefits! ✔

It is easy to get scared off by the thought of premature aging from sun exposure, melanoma, or other negative effects but how in the world did our ancestors survive before SPF? + Why is there such a push to wear SPF?

Humans over time have evolved to protect their skin from too much melanin (the natural sunscreen we were born with). They also evolved to produce less melanin when the sun is weaker and when they migrated to areas with much less sun. Sunburn has increased in modern times and we cannot help but question why.

What is the big deal? 👉 The body is highly intuitive and adaptable. Join us to find out exactly how.

If you seek to expand your knowledge + awareness on the topic of Light, question the constant push to buy skin products + want a variety of insights to choose what feels right to you, Come join us and learn about ALL the benefits of natural sunlight, ancient light figures, human photosynthesis + much more!

Link in bio for our next science + spirit webinar on Dec. 19th at 7 PM EST. Sign up today and build your awareness of light as we prepare our bodies + minds for the winter months.

How much time do you spend on your electronic devices?? 💻

Many of us live a laptop lifestyle, or spend hours every single day on their phones, screens, and computers. This feels "normal" and even "necessary" but the glow from our screens is toxic.

Blue light from electronics affects our
🔹 Eye health
🔹 Sleep quality
🔹 Metabolism
🔹 Mental Health
🔹 And even our risk for diabetes, heart disease and some cancers

Its critical to break the toxic connection to our screens by setting boundaries with devices, knowing when and how to implement digital detoxes, and be more aware of the actions you can take to spend more time in nature, more time off the screens and to optimize your health habits.

Join our next science + spirit webinar: Vitamin Light to learn all about these hot topics. Join for $11 or join the I.M. Unity Community for access to much more for only $33/ monthly.

Just as plants create the energy they need to live from the sun in a process called photosynthesis (remember high school biology) 🌿

New research is showing that our cells have the ability to make energy from the sun too! ☀️

To do this we need a balance between getting the right amount of sunlight, being properly hydrated and having the right kind of fat in our diet.

Come discover more about natural light and its many benefits in our next Science + Spirit webinar: Vitamin Light. We will gather virtually on December 19th and if you cannot make the live, it will be available on replay!

When we've been told that the sun and fat are "bad" for us for so long you can see how our cell's ability to make energy is being drastically reduced - when we can make just a few simple changes we can harness the power of the sun and step into more energy! ✨

Link in bio to RSVP today! 😁

Did you know that getting natural light is just as important as eating the nutrients our body needs?

There are SO many ways you can optimize your health. As winter is approaching its long stretch, it is important to understand how we can care for our bodies: mind, body + spirit when winter can be a challenge to get natural light and can lead to sadness, mood + sleep problems, and depression.

If you struggle with an imbalance due to less light in the wintertime, we will dive deep into our upcoming webinar which will cover a wide range of topics and give you tools to help you thrive during the winter months.

Come get En”light”ened with us on December 19th at 7 PM EST. Link in bio to sign up for the webinar or join the I.M. Unity Community where you will get access to past webinar topics, events + more!

Did you know how connected getting natural light is with your health??

The sun is a natural mood booster, helps improve your circadian rhythms, increase your ability to stay calm + focused, and improve your sleep quality.

Why do you need a boost??
In the winter months, it is a challenge to get enough sunlight, and this can lead to fatigue, tiredness, depression, and lack of motivation. Vitamin D boosts your immunity and can help prevent certain types of cancers, heart disease and depression.

For this reason, we are excited to announce the launch of our Vitamin Light: Spirit + Science Webinar! RSVP today by clicking the link in bio.

When’s the last time you got a good dose of ☀️?

What’s your focus right now? 🗯🗯

- Learning more 📖
