Digest with Jess

One of my Christmas gifts! 😍 This cute little bath friend removes chlorine, contaminants and VOCs for a much cleaner water quality.

My skin was so soft after my first bath with this filter!

You’ll notice less itchiness, dryness, softer skin and shiny hair. Not a bath taker? They also make them for shower heads!

Happy New Year!! This quote is by one of my favorite yoga teachers and someone I admire greatly. It talks about about how yes we need softness, gentleness, and reprieve from the hustle culture, time to be and not do, do, do. There’s a balance to it, and pushing yourself to grow, to dream BIG, and push past your comfort zone is also something to strive for.

I encourage you to dream BIG, even if the dreams may sound crazy in your head! Shoot for the moon and you’ll land among the stars. ✨

You’re worth it! If you need help and support figuring out your dreams for the future, figuring out your health goals, you can schedule a discovery call with me and I will support you every step of the way! 💚

I can’t function without my magnesium! 🙂

I dream of a world where nutrition is sought after and prized and people see the importance of quality nutrition on mental health. ✨

This isn’t just an isolated success story—it’s proof of the incredible power of food to shape our minds, behaviors, and futures.

Ultra-processed foods disrupt the microbiome, trigger chronic inflammation, and impair brain function—leading to mood disorders, impulsivity, and even aggressive behavior.

By replacing these foods with nutrient-dense, whole ingredients, we can support the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, which are critical for emotional regulation and mental health.

Imagine the ripple effect if we prioritized real food:
✔️ Schools serving meals that fuel learning and mental health.
✔️ Prisons reducing violence and improving rehabilitation.
✔️ Hospitals using food as medicine to reverse chronic disease.

If healthy meals can transform behavior in a detention center, imagine what they could do in your home, your community, and our society.

I’ve been a bit MIA on here, I’ve been studying to take the International Health Coaching Certification Exam. And…I PASSED!!
I can now coach clients anywhere in the world 😊 so exciting!

❤️

What are you grateful for today?

Let’s talk a little about the Gut Microbiome. 🦠

The left side of the picture is the Standard American Diet(SAD), notice the lack of diversity in plants and trees. We can imagine the billons and billions of microbes in our gut being killed off by antibiotics, produce grown with pesticides, or lots of ultra processed food.

On the right side, notice the lush, healthy looking forest. There are millions of different plants, insects and animals that call this place their home. This is exactly the goal that we want for our gut. More of the good bacteria to protect our body, immune system, and our brain! We want lots of different species of bacteria, they all do different things within the body.

A few ways to help restore healthy gut bacteria -

🦠add variety to your plate
🦠eat the rainbow every day
🦠add fermented foods to your diet
🦠avoid foods grown with glyphosate(round up), as they are microbiome disrupters

Let’s talk about p**p! 💩 I know some of you may be appalled that I’m even talking about this BUT hear me out! 😅

💩 There is a wealth of information about your body and health in your toilet bowl! It only takes a few moments to take note of color, size, shape, and how many times it takes to wipe.

I could talk forever about p**p and how interesting it is, but for now I challenge you to take some mental notes!

⭐️how often do you p**p?
⭐️which type on this chart does it match up with?
⭐️does it take a whole roll of toilet paper to wipe?
⭐️what colors do you see?

If you’re curious about what to do about certain kinds of p**p, you can DM me or make an appointment for a FREE discovery call!

If we aren’t actually digesting well and our body isn’t able to efficiently use the nutrients we give it, our energy and quality of life suffer.

Some signs your body is struggling…
🌱bloating after meals, everyday
🌿stomach pain
🍃burping often, reflux
🌱not p**ping everyday

Too often we normalize these symptoms when they are absolutely not normal. It’s our body’s way of talking to us and showing us it needs help. First it whispers, then it talks, then it will yell or scream for help if we don’t listen.

Our body has an amazing ability to heal, given the support and love it needs. Book a FREE discovery call with me and I can help you navigate the overwhelming world of health and how to find your best healthy life. 💪💕

In a state of stress, the body slows digestion to use that energy to, say…fight off a tiger. The body can’t tell the difference between our modern day stresses and those of our ancestors.

A few things to think about for optimal digestion…

🌱take a 3 - 5 deep breaths before eating
🌱eat in a calm environment
🌱take your time, don’t rush
🌱limit distractions if possible
🌱chew each bite 30x!

Let’s all digest better, one bite a time!
