Boost Your Energy with This Simple Posture Shift with Dr. Suzanne Bober

Boost Your Energy with This Simple Posture Shift with Dr. Suzanne Bober

mayo 06, 2025

Ever feel like you're running on empty - mentally foggy, physically drained, and just not yourself? You’re not alone. Many women juggle demanding careers, relationships, and a full calendar, often ignoring the very thing that could instantly boost energy and focus: posture.

Yes, posture.

But this isn’t about standing like a ballerina or sitting stiffly at your desk. It’s about supporting your body in a way that allows your nervous system to thrive. Think of your spine as the main highway for your energy. When that highway is clear, your body and brain function at their best. When it’s blocked - hello tension, fatigue, and brain fog.

Why Posture Matters More Than You Think

When you slump, your head juts forward, and your low back rounds, subtle but powerful changes start to take place in your body:

  • Your breath becomes shallow

  • Your muscles tense

  • Your digestion slows

  • Your nervous system kicks into stress mode

Over time, this drains your energy - even if you're just sitting.

But when you support your body well, everything shifts.

The SMART Sitting Method

Here’s a quick posture fix that’s especially helpful if you sit for work or spend a lot of time on screens. I call it SMART Sitting:

  • Support your lower back: Use a small lumbar cushion or roll up a towel behind your lower back. It makes a big difference. You’ll feel more lifted and grounded at the same time.

  • Mind your head position: Gently bring your ears back over your shoulders. Notice how your chest opens up and your neck tension melts.

  • Align your screen and feet: Make sure your screen is at eye level and your feet are flat or slightly elevated. When everything lines up, energy flows more easily.

  • Reposition often: Don’t lock into one posture. Stand up, shift positions, or stretch every 60–90 minutes. Movement resets your system.

  • Take breaks: Even one deep breath or a quick walk can break the stress cycle. Your body (and brain) will thank you.

One Shift = Big Results

Posture isn’t about perfection - it’s about energy. When you sit with intention, you reduce resistance in your body and your nervous system. You breathe better. Think clearer. Feel more grounded.

So the next time you feel your energy slipping, don’t reach for another coffee right away. Try sitting smarter. You might be surprised how quickly things shift.



Dr. Suzanne Bober
Chiropractor

With over 25 years of experience, Suzanne is dedicated to empowering individuals in overcoming back pain and achieving sustainable well-being. As a seasoned mentor to students, chiropractors, and aspiring individuals, she has developed a revolutionary system that harnesses optimal nervous system health. Suzanne's innovative approach redefines stress management, paving the way for success and sustainable balance in life.

Lead with Frequency, Not Force by Rosaly Didonna

Lead with Frequency, Not Force by Rosaly Didonna

abril 28, 2025

You’ve taken the courses. You’ve followed the formulas, posted the content, and refined your offer. On paper, you’re doing everything “right,” and yet…you are not seeing the results you truly desire.

Maybe you’re experiencing crickets when you launch something new.
Maybe the clients feel inconsistent.
Maybe you’re starting to doubt yourself even though you know you’re meant for this work.

If that’s you, it could be that your energy behind the actions you’re taking in your business is misaligned.


Why Strategy Alone Isn’t Enough

Two people can say the exact same thing online and receive completely different responses. Why is this? It’s because energy speaks louder than any words coming out of your mouth.

You can’t edit self-doubt. You can’t mask fear with a “confident” caption. You can’t call in aligned clients when your body is terrified of rejection, when your heart is guarded, or when your voice is watered down to be more liked or accepted.


The energy you show up with is the life force of your business. It’s the pulse, the current, the magnetism. When the current is off, the most beautiful business in the world from the outside will still feel empty on the inside to you, your audience, and your clients.

Strategy is the masculine container. It’s the structure, the plan, the method. It’s all the how.

Energetics is the feminine current. It’s the presence, the embodiment, the alignment behind the action. It’s your belief in what you’re offering. The frequency you're holding when you speak, create, sell, and serve. It’s the why and the who behind the how.



Strategy without energetics feels empty.
Energetics without strategy lacks direction.

What is the sweet spot? When your energy leads, and your strategy supports.


Signs You’re Leading with Strategy Instead of Energy

If you’ve been feeling frustrated or disconnected in your business, take a moment to check in with your truth. You might be relying too heavily on strategy if:

  • You’re focused on what others say works, but feel disconnected or uninspired by it.

  • You’re creating content from pressure or obligation rather than genuine desire.

  • You’re resenting your business or offers, even if they used to feel exciting.

  • You start doubting your worth or your work when engagement drops.

  • You’re more focused on getting clients than being the woman who naturally attracts them.

These are all indicators that your energy needs to come back to the forefront.


Reclaiming Alignment: Letting Energy Lead

Shift the way you approach your business. Let your energy lead, and allow strategy to support.

Remember to slow down before you take action. Check in with how you feel, not just what you think. Prioritize your own alignment over perfection, performance, or productivity.

  • Before you post, pause and ask yourself: What frequency am I holding right now? Are you posting from embodiment, from clarity, from truth? Or are you moving from anxiety, comparison, or lack?

  • Before you launch, ground yourself in the deeper intention. Why does this offer matter? What part of you is lit up by it? Anchor into the energy of service and providing value, not proving.

  • Before you sell, connect with the transformation your work provides. Feel it in your own body. Speak from lived experience, not just intellectual knowledge.


Why does this matter?

When your energy is aligned and your presence matches your message…people feel that. Your business becomes a sacred expression of your truth, not a performance. You don’t need to do more. You just need to be more anchored in who you truly are. Remember, align with your truth first. Then, let your strategy carry your unique energetic frequency out into the world.


Keep leading with your light,

Helping Our Pets Feel Safe Without Saying a Word by Christine Barfield

Helping Our Pets Feel Safe Without Saying a Word by Christine Barfield

abril 27, 2025

Sometimes, the most powerful way to help your pet feel safe doesn’t involve a single word. It’s not about what you say, it’s about the energy you bring. Our pets are incredibly sensitive beings. They read our body language, sense our emotional state, and feel the tone of our presence. If your pet tends to stick close to you when you’re upset or seems uneasy when you walk into the room rushed or stressed it’s because they’re tuned into your energy before anything else. 

Routines and gentle training are important, but emotional safety starts with how you show up.
Your energy, your nervous system, your breath, even the pace of your movements tells your pet whether the space around them is calm or chaotic.

Pets often look to us as their anchor. When we’re grounded, they feel more secure. When we’re unsettled, they can become hyper-alert or withdrawn.

How Your Presence Shapes Their Experience

Your pet is always tuning into how you show up, not just what you say or do. Here are three ways your presence impacts your pet’s sense of safety:

  • Your nervous system sets the tone

When you're anxious or overstimulated, your pet often mirrors that. They don't know what’s wrong, they just know something feels “off.” A calm, regulated nervous system sends the signal: We're okay.

  •  Your movements speak volumes

Fast, sharp, or erratic movements can feel unpredictable to sensitive animals. Slowing down—even just slightly—helps your pet feel more secure and less on edge.

  • Silence can be soothing

Your energy doesn’t need to be loud to be felt. Sometimes, just quietly being present with your pet, without trying to fix or engage, is the most comforting thing you can offer. Slow, soothing strokes or a comforting presence can make a big difference in reducing stress.

Presence Is the Real Safety Net

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present. When your pet senses your grounded calm, they exhale. They trust more. They feel held, even in silence.


Christine Barfield is an Intuitive Pet Healer and Guide. She helps your pets find more calm, balance, and connection through her Signature PETs Method. She specializes in supporting pets with stress, anxiety, and overall well being, creating a more peaceful life for both you and your pet.

The Art of Actually Eating Well by Suzie Battishill

The Art of Actually Eating Well by Suzie Battishill

abril 20, 2025

I’m not a nutritionist or a dietitian—but I am organised, and I know what I’m doing in the kitchen!

We’ve all seen diet and health trends explode online, month after month, year after year. But when are we going to pause and realise that eating well isn’t about the latest superfood or fad—it’s about connecting to the food itself. It’s about building time into our week to plan, shop, and cook.

From my own health journey, I quickly realised that while doctors, nutritionists, and health experts were great at diagnosing the problem, no one was there to help me achieve the solution. No one guided me through how to make it happen in the kitchen.

 

Let’s get one thing straight:

Cooking for yourself doesn’t start when you open the fridge at 7pm.
It doesn’t start when you’re stuck in traffic thinking about dinner.
It starts—a couple of days earlier—when you carve out time to plan how you’re going to feed yourself and your family for the week ahead.

Cooking itself isn’t what takes the most time. What does take energy is everything that comes before the cooking: finding inspiration, planning, shopping, unpacking, and setting up. This is where I believe many people struggle—not because they can’t cook, but because they haven’t put the right systems in place. Systems that make home cooking feel easy, convenient, and low-waste.

So, what are my biggest tips in this department?

 

1. Don’t ‘Meal Plan’… Make a Weekly Plan

The last thing I want is to eat the same lunch or dinner every day. I don’t meal prep, but I do make sure multiple meals come out of my kitchen whenever I cook.
If I’m chopping veg or roasting something, you can bet I’m thinking about tomorrow’s lunch while I’m at it.

That way, even when I’m on the fly, there’s always something nourishing and ready to go.

 

2. How I Plan My Week (Real-Life Case Study)

👩🍳 Head Chef: Suzie
👥 People eating: 2
🏠 Nights eating at home: 5
🥪 Packed lunches: 1–2 per day

You can do this on a Sunday or Monday—whatever suits your rhythm. Start by answering those questions above, then jot down 5 or 6 dinner ideas.

Why only 5 if I’m home all week?
Because I know between store cupboard staples, leftovers, and a well-stocked freezer, I can whip up a 6th or 7th meal without extra shopping. It reduces food waste and gives me flexibility when plans change.

 

3. Shop Once!

I can’t stress this enough. My local supermarket is just a 10-minute walk away—I could go daily. But doing that? Exhausting.

That’s when decision fatigue sets in. You’re hungry, tired, and tempted by convenience.

Shopping once at the start of the week changes everything.
Now, instead of choosing between 100 items in the supermarket, I’m choosing between 4 meals at home. It’s calmer, quicker, and way more enjoyable.

 

4. Clean Your Fridge

“Won’t it all go off by the end of the week if I shop on Sunday?”
Not if your fridge is clean!

If you toss a fresh carrot into a drawer where a mouldy one just lived—it’ll spoil faster.
Your fridge should be the cleanest place in your house. It holds your most perishable goods, so treat it with care.

There are foods that don’t last all week. Spinach loves to wilt overnight! So I use it in the first day or two. If I buy fish, I eat it early in the week, and move toward hardier ingredients later.

Want more fridge tips?
👉 Join my Live Workshop on Monday 13th May, where I’ll show you how to store your veg so it lasts all week.

 

5. Organise Your Kitchen

Your kitchen is the heart of your home—and like any heart, it needs care.

Just like you carve out time to move your body or look after your mind, keeping your kitchen organised is a worthwhile ritual.

Here’s what I do:

  • Pop on a podcast

  • Wash all the fruit and veg

  • Wipe down the fridge

  • Unpack everything properly

  • Tidy the dry goods cupboard as I go

Why? Because when I know exactly what I’ve got and where it is, it inspires me. That half-used jar of lentils? Suddenly I’m thinking, ooh, I’ll make a curry tomorrow.

This weekly reset isn’t a chore anymore. It’s hands-on, calming, and deeply satisfying—and it sets me up for success all week.


 

Want to see how I do it in real life?

Join me live on Tuesday 13th May for a relaxed cook-along, where we’ll whip up a weeknight special together.


It’s all about winding down while setting yourself up.

Your Voice is Sacred: Reclaiming the Power Within by Rosaly Didonna

Your Voice is Sacred: Reclaiming the Power Within by Rosaly Didonna

abril 06, 2025

 

 

There’s a pattern I see often in the beautiful souls I work with: the belief that their voice doesn’t matter.

Maybe this is you.

Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” or “too much.”
Maybe you learned that keeping the peace meant keeping quiet.
Maybe you’ve stayed silent to avoid conflict or rejection, believing deep down that your truth wasn’t worthy of being heard.

If so, I want you to know this:

Your voice is not just important… It's sacred.

 

 

The Roots of Silence

Many of us were conditioned to abandon our voice early on.
We became the caretakers, the people-pleasers, the ones who swallowed our needs for the sake of harmony.

We were taught that expressing our emotions was “dramatic,” that asking for what we needed was “selfish,” or that setting boundaries made us “difficult.”

And so we began to shrink.
We traded our truth for approval.
We believed that silence equaled safety.

But here’s the truth I’ve come to know through deep healing and soul reclamation:

Silencing yourself doesn’t make you safe. It makes you invisible to yourself.

 

 

Your Voice Carries Your Essence

Your voice is more than just sound.
It’s the energetic signature of your soul.
It’s how your truth moves through the world.
It’s how your boundaries, desires, and emotions take form.

When you speak your truth, even when it feels scary… you begin to build trust with yourself.
You start to feel seen from the inside out.
And that inner alignment ripples outward, attracting relationships and experiences that are rooted in truth, not performance.

 

 

A New Way of Belonging

Belonging doesn’t come from being quiet.
It comes from being authentic.

There is no love more powerful than the love you give yourself when you say:
“I will not abandon my voice just to be accepted.”

You are not here to dilute yourself to fit someone else’s comfort.
You are here to embody your soul.
To speak your truth with reverence.
To allow your words, emotions, and boundaries to be expressions of your divinity.

 

 

A Gentle Invitation

If this resonates with you, I invite you into a gentle practice:

  1. Place your hand over your heart.

  2. Take a deep breath into your belly.

  3. Speak this out loud or whisper it to your inner child:

“My voice matters.
My truth is safe with me.
I am worthy of being seen and heard.”

Let these words become your new foundation.
Not because you need to be louder…
But because you are ready to integrate fully into the truth of who you are.

 

 

Final Thoughts

You are not alone on this journey.
I see you. I feel you. I’ve been you.
I want you to know… healing your voice is an act of soul remembrance.

This work doesn’t require perfection.
It simply asks for presence.
A willingness to show up for the parts of you that once felt silenced, and to bring them back into the light.

You are worthy of being heard not just by others, but by yourself.

With deep love and sacred truth,
—Rosaly, The Purifying Place

How Your Energy Affects Your Pet’s Anxiety (And What You Can Do About It) by Christine Barfield

How Your Energy Affects Your Pet’s Anxiety (And What You Can Do About It) by Christine Barfield

marzo 23, 2025

If you’ve ever noticed your pet pacing, whining, or acting restless when you’re stressed, you’re not imagining things our pets are deeply connected to our energy. They don’t just listen to our words; they pick up on our emotions, body language, and overall vibe.

Just like we can sense when a room feels tense or calm, our pets feel the energy we bring into their space. And when we’re carrying stress, anxiety, or frustration, it can easily transfer to them.

Why Your Pet Feels Your Stress

Pets are naturally in tune with the energy around them. Whether it’s excitement, sadness, or nervousness, they absorb what we project. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or anxious, your pet can mirror those emotions back to us. Showing signs of restlessness, clinginess, or even avoidance.

3 Quick Ways to Shift Your Energy & Help Your Anxious Pet

  • Check in with yourself first
    Before assuming your pet’s behavior is “random,” ask yourself: What’s my energy like right now? If you’re rushing, tense, or distracted, take a deep breath and reset. A calm pet starts with a calm you.

  • Create a peaceful environment
    Your pet’s surroundings play a huge role in their anxiety. Try soft music, a cozy space, and a predictable routine to help them feel more secure.

  • Use intentional touch
    Pets respond to gentle, intentional touch. Simply placing a calm, relaxed hand on your pet while breathing deeply can help them settle. Slow, soothing strokes or a comforting presence can make a big difference in reducing stress.

Your Pet Feels You - Make It a Good Feeling

The more we become aware of our own energy, the more we can create a peaceful, supportive space for our pets. Anxiety doesn’t have to define their world or yours.

Breathe New Energy into Your Life by Rosaly Didonna

Breathe New Energy into Your Life by Rosaly Didonna

marzo 16, 2025

With spring around the corner, nature exemplifies the beauty of renewal. The days have more sunshine, fresh flowers are making their way up through the earth, and the air feels full of new possibilities. The transformation we see around us during springtime is also an invitation and a reminder that we, too, can shed the old, embrace change, and create something new.

Renewal isn’t just about change—it’s about realignment. It’s about clearing out stagnant energy, revisiting our intentions, and remembering that abundance is already within and around us. It’s a chance to reconnect with who we truly are so we can expand, grow, and create with conscious awareness. When we show up from that space, we naturally bring more vibrancy into our lives and the lives of those around us.


Signs You’re Ready for Renewal

🌿 You’re feeling stagnant or restless in your energy or daily life.
🌿 You have the urge to declutter—physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
🌿 You’re feeling disconnected from your true self and purpose.
🌿 You feel a strong desire for expansion, growth, and/or new opportunities.

If any of the above resonates, it’s time to create the space for transformation.

 

 

Acts of Renewal

1️⃣ Clear & Cleanse Your Energy
Just like spring cleaning your home, your energy field needs clearing too. Try Reiki, breathwork, or sound healing to help release what no longer serves you.

2️⃣ Set New Intentions
What do you want to call in for this next chapter of your life? Peace, abundance, creativity? Write it down, visualize it, and start aligning your actions with it.

3️⃣ Reconnect with Nature
Nature is one of our greatest teachers if we pay attention. Walk barefoot on the grass, sit in the sun, or jump into a body of water. Allow Mother Earth to help you transmute any dense energies into harmonious ones.

4️⃣ Listen to Your Inner Wisdom
Spring is a time of awakening. Pay attention to any intuitive hits, dreams, and/or signs guiding you toward your next steps. Your inner wisdom knows the way. Let it lead.

5️⃣ Embrace Growth
Change can feel scary for many of us, especially if you have a dysregulated nervous system. Let yourself flow instead of forcing it. Trust that everything shifting in your life is happening for you, not to you.

Are you ready to create your new life from a place of soul alignment? As the world around you begins to blossom and bloom, give yourself permission to do the same. Tap into the energies of the season: renewal, unlimited possibilities, conscious creation and expansion. Then, take a deep breath, set your intention, and allow the energy of new beginnings to flow through you.

Supporting a Pregnancy with PCOS by Dr. Ishani Patel

Supporting a Pregnancy with PCOS by Dr. Ishani Patel

febrero 16, 2025

Optimizing Your Chances of Pregnancy with PCOS

Although PCOS can impact fertility, many individuals with PCOS successfully conceive. Below are some lifestyle and treatment approaches that can support your metabolic, hormonal, and reproductive health:

 

1. Maintain a Balanced Diet and Stay Active

Many individuals with PCOS struggle with weight management due to hormonal and metabolic imbalances. A nutrient-dense balanced diet, regular physical activity, and lifestyle modifications can improve fertility while also reducing pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes.

 

2. Track Ovulation and Your Fertile Window

Understanding your menstrual cycle, ovulation day, and fertile window can help increase your chances of conception. Reliable tracking methods include:

  • Ovulation predictor kits (LH strips)
  • Cervical mucus monitoring
  • Basal body temperature tracking
  • Cycle-tracking apps (best used alongside another method for confirmation)

 

3. Prioritize Quality Sleep

Deep, restful sleep plays a crucial role in:

  • Hormone regulation
  • Reducing inflammation
  • Supporting blood sugar balance
  • Maintaining a healthy weight
  • Enhancing metabolic and reproductive health

 

4. Manage Stress by Implementing Mindfulness Techniques

PCOS patients can experience stress, anxiety, and depression, which can worsen symptoms by increasing:

  • Weight gain
  • Inflammation
  • Androgen levels
  • The severity of PCOS-related complications
  • and more!

Stress management techniques such as journaling, deep breathing, and meditation can help support your overall well-being.

 

5. Consider Targeted Nutritional Supplements (Under Supervision)

Certain supplements have been shown to regulate menstrual cycles, improve insulin sensitivity, and enhance metabolic health in PCOS. These include:

  • Inositol
  • Folic acid
  • N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
  • Omega-3 fatty acids
  • Vitamin D

For optimizing fertility, CoQ10 and melatonin may support egg quality. It is best to always consult a naturopathic doctor or your healthcare provider to determine the best approach for you. If you have PCOS and are trying to conceive, you are not alone. With the right lifestyle modifications and treatment strategies, you can support your reproductive, metabolic, and hormonal health. Let’s work together to optimize your fertility!

 

Dr. Ishani Patel is a board certified Naturopathic Doctor who has a clinical focus in women’s health, hormones, digestive health, and autoimmunity. She is dedicated to helping her patients determine the root cause of their health concerns, help them find balance in their life, prevent disease or a worsening of their health conditions, and help them live their optimal state of health.

Naturally Treating Your Menstrual Pain and PMS by Dr. Ishani Patel

Naturally Treating Your Menstrual Pain and PMS by Dr. Ishani Patel

febrero 06, 2025

Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea) and PMS (premenstrual syndrome) affect many women worldwide. While these symptoms are common, they should not be dismissed as normal if they significantly impact your quality of life. Fortunately, various treatment options, including lifestyle changes and nutraceutical supplementation, can help alleviate these symptoms and improve your overall well-being.

 

 

Managing PMS Symptoms

PMS symptoms typically occur during the luteal phase or menstruation and may include fatigue, bloating, breast tenderness, menstrual cramps, cravings, appetite changes, mood swings, and irritability. Here are some strategies to help reduce their intensity:

  • Limit Alcohol, Caffeine, and High-Sodium Foods: Reducing or avoiding these foods before your period can help alleviate symptoms. Alcohol may worsen breast tenderness and mood changes, caffeine can intensify mood swings, and high sodium intake can contribute to bloating.

 

  •  Engage in Regular Physical Activity: Yoga and aerobic exercises, such as walking, can reduce stress, anxiety, and the severity of menstrual pain by improving circulation and promoting relaxation.

 

  • Optimize Nutrition: Increase your intake of complex carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, magnesium-rich foods, and calcium-rich foods. These nutrients can help reduce fatigue, cramps, and mood fluctuations.

 

  • Eat Balanced Meals: Ensure adequate protein and fiber in your meals to help regulate blood sugar levels, curb cravings, and stabilize mood.

 

  • Prioritize Sleep: Sufficient rest is crucial for maintaining energy levels and reducing mood disturbances.


  • Prioritize Sleep: Sufficient rest is crucial for maintaining energy levels and reducing mood disturbances.

 

  • Practice Mindfulness Techniques: Journaling, deep breathing, and meditation can support your emotional well-being, lower stress, and reduce anxiety.

 

  • Consider Nutritional Supplements (Under Professional Supervision): Chastetree (Vitex), Magnesium, Calcium, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin D can help balance your hormones, and alleviate several PMS symptoms.

 

Managing Menstrual Pain

Menstrual pain can be classified as either primary or secondary dysmenorrhea. Secondary dysmenorrhea is often linked to conditions such as endometriosis or adenomyosis, and its treatment may differ. Here are some ways to manage menstrual pain:

  1. Avoid Inflammatory Foods: Processed foods, refined sugars, alcohol, and other inflammatory foods can exacerbate pain and should be minimized.
  2. Incorporate Stress-Reduction Techniques: Mindfulness practices can help regulate cortisol levels, reduce inflammation, and reduce menstrual pain.
  3. Use Heat Therapy: Applying a heating pad to the abdomen can provide relief from cramps.
  4. Try Castor Oil Massage: Massaging castor oil on the abdomen may help, but it may not be suitable for those with heavy periods or diarrhea.
  5. Consider Supplements (Under Professional Supervision): Ginger, Magnesium, and Omega-3 can reduce inflammation, and significantly alleviate menstrual cramps.

If your menstrual pain is severe, persistent, or unresponsive to pain medication—especially if it occurs outside of menstruation—it may be necessary to investigate potential underlying causes. Diagnostic measures such as a transvaginal ultrasound and blood tests (assessing thyroid function, hormone levels, Vitamin D, and iron) can provide valuable insights.

If PMS symptoms and menstrual pain are affecting your quality of life, a holistic approach that supports your body, balances your hormones, and optimizes lifestyle choices can be beneficial.

3 Breakfasts to Boost Your Metabolism for Better Energy + Less Cravings by Ann Sirenko

3 Breakfasts to Boost Your Metabolism for Better Energy + Less Cravings by Ann Sirenko

diciembre 05, 2024

 

Breakfast is arguably the most important meal of the day! What you chose to have in the morning will impact your energy levels throughout the day, the amount of cravings you have and has the potential to fire up your metabolism after an overnight fast with the right nutrients.

Your metabolism runs on 3 major macro groups – Protein (building of body substances), Carbohydrates (mainly used for energy) and Fat (cellular health +energy). It also requires water, minerals, electrolytes and trace elements. A deficiency in any of these can results in decreased metabolic function, hormonal imbalances and low energy.

When you skip breakfast, or have something that doesn’t provide the necessary fuel, your tank may be either running on empty or like a regular car running on diesel fuel.

What does your “fuel tank” actually need to get you revved up and energized for the day?

It needs a balanced breakfast consisting of a quality source of protein, carbohydrates that won’t spike your blood sugar (which would lead to cravings and an energy dip later) and healthy fats.

Here are 3 simple ideas of Breakfasts that will leave you energized and satiated for hours:

  1. Oatmeal + 3 tbsp of Almond Butter + 3 tbsp of Hemp Seeds + 1 tbsp of Coconut Oil + Berries of choice.

 

Helpful hint: Oats are heavily sprayed with the roundup Glyphosate which has been linked to cancer. For more information about Glyphosate check out this page. This is why I recommend getting the Rolled Oats from One Degree Organics (can be found at Costco), which are Glyphosate-free AND sprouted, meaning they are easier to digest!

 

  1. Chia seed pudding – mix 1/4 C Chia Seeds + 1 scoop Vanilla or Chocolate Protein Powder + 1 C of your favourite plant-based milk, mix and let set in fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight. Top with berried or diced green apple.

 

Helpful hint: If using a Protein Powder please make sure there are no refined sugars in there. I generally also don’t recommend Whey protein as it’s hard to digest for many people and may contribute to inflammation. I personally love the Sunwarrior Warrior Blend protein and Genuine Health also makes a great Fermented Organic Vegan Proteins+ formula.

 

  1. Eggs + Avocado Toast using at least ½ avocado and a high quality whole grain bread.

 

Helpful hint: Many breads that are labeled “whole grain” are not actually whole grain. They may contain some whole grains but can also have a large percentage of starchy processed grains that spike blood sugar, insulin levels and lead to low energy, poor metabolic health and weight gain. You must start read ingredient lists if you want to truly understand what’s it your food – labelling can be so misleading! Etziekel bread is a great option and is usually found in the freezer section of a health section in a grocery store.

Making small tweaks to your Breakfast favorites to ensure you have a Protein + low-Glycemic Carbohydrate + Good Fat can make a HUGE difference in how you feel the rest of the day. Do not underestimate the power of these small changes!

If you try any of these and notice a change I’d love to hear from you – you can find me on Instagram @annsirenkonutrition or connect with me via e-mail at info@annsirenko.com

Maintaining a Sense of Warmth and Calm in Your Home by Christie Hubble

Maintaining a Sense of Warmth and Calm in Your Home by Christie Hubble

noviembre 24, 2024

Our home is a reflection of us. We are busy, vibrant women living in a world that is always trying to draw us to the next best thing. The newest technology, the updated home accessories, and it can be hard to keep up if that is where our focus is. Our home is more than a house with fanciful things, it is home to our family. The place to let down the burdens of the day and get cozy, to restore, and nurture ourselves and one another. Where friends come to gather and share stories and laughter while dining or grazing. 


How can you maintain a sense of warmth and calm during the upcoming season? A time when events and gatherings increase. Here are a few tips:


  1. Bring in warm essential oil scents. Our nose knows! Step inside and be enveloped by the aroma of cinnamon, juniper, or berries. I honestly love to simmer apple peels, cinnamon, and ginger on the back burner.
  2. Have a basket with slippers in a variety of sizes for your guests to wear, slip a few light weight blankets over the dining chairs, and heavier blankets in the lounging areas.
  3. A variety of herbal teas to offer, warming and nourishing for  the body.
  4. Host a “soupport” meal with close friends. Enjoy a simple meal of soup and fresh bread or salad. Instead of the food being the focus, the conversation becomes the main focus.
  5. Enjoy crafting, working on a puzzle, or a cooperative game to engage with one another.

It is my hope that when life gets a bit crazy that my home is able to be a safe haven for my family and friends. Knowing that restoring calm and embracing warmth is possible. I would love to know how you create warmth and calm in your home.


In wellness and love,

Christie Hubble
