A root cause approach to holistic gut healing
While it is important to get to the root cause of your constipation, sometimes we need a little support especially during times of acute constipation! Part three of this constipation series is all about natural remedies for constipation. If you haven’t already, go read part one: What Is Constipation and part two: 7 Common Causes of Constipation.
Constipation is defined as having less than 1-2 DAILY bowel movements and/or having dry, hard or difficult ones. Constipation is also a symptom of something deeper that is going on. (Read more about what constipation is here.)
When your closest raw juice bar is 45 minutes away, you make it at home! And if you’re like me, you had to chose between investing in a high-powered blender or juicer. (I opted for the blender.) So today I am showing you how to make fresh juice in your blender! Super easy!
Most of you have probably heard of probiotics and quite possibly even supplement with them. However, the similar term prebiotics is currently trending and you may be asking: “what’s the difference?” Let’s chat about it!
Probiotics: live bacteria found in certain foods or supplements.
Prebiotics: non-digestable parts of food (mostly fiber) that feed or nourish the good bacteria in your gut.
Bone Broth: I’m sure you’ve heard of it, thought it sounded questionable, maybe even tried it?
Today I am going to share with you 5 benefits of bone broth, than share my personal recipe on how I make it!

I’m also excited to host a giveaway of 2 products I use and love!  But first I would like to define the meaning of the word supplement as I am using it in this particular blog post. That definition is: “something that enhances something else when added to it.”Â
As you know, digestive health is a big focus in my health coaching practice. Time and time again it is proven to us that having a healthy gut is crucial to our well being. As Hippocrates once said, “All disease begins in the gut.”
Now while I am a big believer in keeping your gut in tip top shape by nourishing it with proper foods, I also know that sometimes we need a little extra help and most everyone can benefit from taking a probiotic on a regular basis. {This post is specifically talking about supplements, not the food/nutrition side of a healthy gut.}

As you know, a healthy gut is a special focus in my health coaching practice. For me, healing my gut changed everything! Day after day millions of people around the world struggle with some type of digestion problem: Gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, upset stomach, acid reflux; Â the list goes on and on. Â Poor digestive health weakens the immune system, causes nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances and weakens all organ function. Not to mention the emotional toll it has on a human dealing with these problems. The good news? Most of these symptoms can disappear by addressing your diet & lifestyle choices! So let’s dive into what actually is normal digestion and 3 tips to improve it in the next week!
When I started Nutrition School back in 2013, one of the recommendations I got was to start drinking warm lemon water in the morning. Everyone was doing it and the information I had read on it seemed like a good thing to try so I added it to my morning routine, not realizing how much I would come to love it! 2 1/2 years later it is still something I do EVERY SINGLE DAY and recommend to all my clients! In fact, my morning feels off if I don’t do it! It has helped me on my journey of healing my gut and has created a ritual that is both calming & rejuvenating to my soul. Listed below are some health benefits of lemons and some tidbits about this ever popular morning habit.
Cut a nice slice out of an organic lemon, squeeze and drop it into your favorite mug . Fill the mug with water, half boiling and half cold to create that perfect warm temperature. Â If you’re lemon is not organic, just squeeze the juice out. Do not put the whole slice in there, as there is a waxy coating on the lemon, not to mention the pesticides that we don’t want to ingest. Go find your favorite chair, a blanket, your Bible and slowly enjoy your cup of warm lemon water! (That’s my favorite way:)
