Embracing Wellness with Renee

I discovered this podcast on one of my friend’s pages. I love Zach Bush MD, this is such an informative video.

If you can’t have coffee like me, or you are looking for an alternative, I have found a great product that’s tastes and smells so close to coffee, its incredible! It's Tea-Fee.

Tea Fee is made of a Mayan Fruit (a superfood), chicory, and dandelion. It has all organic ingredients , is high in antioxidants, has inflammation fighting vitamins, and is completely caffeine free.

11 simple but timeless tips to help you live healthier and longer---whatever your age.

One of the first things I try to work on with new clients is getting their “added” sugars to a minimum. There is soooo much added sugar in our foods.
It causes so many health issues prevalent in our society today.
I educate, give food and recipe alternatives to help “crowd out” the unhealthy foods. I help with goals to obtain overall health, and give ongoing support to my clients through their transition to better health and wellness.

If you have trouble sleeping at night, like I do, pistachios are a great source of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that regulates our sleep wake cycle.
I gave these little nuts a try by eating about a handful of them about an hour before bed - 2 nights in a row . I have to say that I slept better than I had in weeks.
Pistachios are also a great source of healthy fats, fiber, protein, antioxidants, and various nutrients, including vitamin B6, magnese, phosphorus, and thiamine. Their other health effects may include weight loss benefits, lower cholesterol and blood sugar, and improved gut, eye, and blood vessel health.

Have you ever tried eating pistachios to help you sleep at night? If so, I would love to hear how they worked for you.

In order to keep up with my busy life, maintaining optimal health and an optimal brain becomes a top priority. When your brain is functioning well, you have more energy and life just gets better.

1. Eat plenty of healthy fat. My brain worked pretty well before but embracing fat (even good saturated fats like coconut oil and MCT oil) pushed my mental clarity through the roof.

2. We need about 30 grams of protein per meal to build muscle. When you lose muscle, you age faster and your brain takes a huge hit! Eat protein at every meal, including omega-3 eggs, protein shakes, nut butters, or even fatty fish for breakfast.

3. At least 75% of your plate, by volume, should be filled with colorful plant foods. These colorful super-foods come loaded with brain-boosting stuff like phytonutrients. Enjoy an array of colorful plant foods like blueberries and dark leafy greens like kale, Swiss chard, spinach, watercress, and arugula.

4. Avoid sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats, food additives, and preservatives, all of which poison your brain and disrupt your biochemistry.

5. Exercise improves memory, learning, and concentration. It also helps to improve your mood, boost your energy, and reduce overall stress in your body and mind.

6. Learn how to ACTIVELY relax. To engage the powerful forces of the mind on the body, you must DO something. Try meditation or learning something new.

There are so many other things that I do on a daily basis to keep my brain sharp, like taking supplements, taking a steam or sauna, drinking purified water, and avoiding neurotoxins. But, the steps above are the most important ones that anyone can take starting today.
