Dairy-Free Pumpkin Creamer

Oct 27, 2019 | Drinks, Real Food Recipes

I love, love, love a good Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks during the fall. The warm drink, the spices, the pumpkin…it’s part of what epitomizes fall for me (basic girl, I know!). However, since I’ve started living a healthier lifestyle, I...

What?😱
✨Managing stress
✨Cutting back the high intense cardio workouts
✨Eating regularly instead of intermittent fasting
✨Eating enough nutrient-dense foods
Can give you more energy???
Yes, yes, yes!!🥳
Fatigue is the number one symptom of a slow metabolism. And what’s the main cause of a slow metabolism? STRESS!!!
Too much cortisol in your system hinders the thyroid from working like it’s supposed to. It slows down, and so does metabolism.
One big stressor your body undergoes every day is keeping your blood sugar stable. It needs to have a certain amount of glucose flowing in the blood at all times to be able to use to make energy. When it’s too low from fasting, not eating enough calories, not eating enough carbs, or not eating often enough, your energy lowers.
But to keep you alive, cortisol is released. It knocks on the door of your muscles and fat to get some stored glucose to use for energy. That process (called gluconeogenesis) is stressful! Cortisol is so important for keeping homeostasis and keeping your body alive and functioning well in emergencies. But it’s not a hormone we want being pumped out all day every day if we want a happy and healthy metabolism.
Too much exercise, especially cardio, is also not good for someone that needs to recover from a slow metabolism and fatigue. High intensity exercise raises cortisol, and we want to keep that down and get out of that fight-or-flight state. Instead, try lower intensity strength training, yoga, or walks. Or just rest when you’re low on energy. Listen to that signal from your body and respect it.
Have you noticed more energy after doing these things?

Eczema is a pain! Are you tired of your eczema and ready to make that itching go away? Healing eczema is a multi-faceted thing that involves working on the INSIDE (digestion, metabolism, stress, etc.) and the OUTSIDE - the surface of your skin. In this video I'm sharing topical treatment for eczema - what you can actually do on your skin to clear your eczema.
I recently learned about a company called Soteri Skin that developed a product that focuses on supporting the skin a few different ways, one way being balancing your skin's pH. Did you know that pH and eczema are connected? Watch to see how pH balance and eczema are related, other ways to support your skin topically, and my results since using Soteri Skin's Balancing Act. ➔Soteri Skin Balancing Act: https://soteriskin.com/products/skin-buffering-treatment

Brain fog and fatigue are symptoms of a sluggish metabolism and hypothyroidism (slow thyroid function. The thyroid is in charge of metabolism).
When you have a slow metabolism, your cells are not able to make energy as quickly. Everything slows down. That includes the cells in your brain. And that leads to:
🧠brain fog,
🧠depression,
🧠memory problems,
🧠lack of motivation, and
🧠trouble concentrating.
The solution? Work on healing your metabolism! Some ways to do that:
🌿eat enough and often enough,
🌿prioritize nutrient-dense foods,
🌿balance your minerals, and 🌿get plenty of sleep.
Watch my next video for more on this!

This is a follow up to my "How to Heal Leaky Gut" video and a deeper dive into the root cause of why you even have leaky gut, SIBO, constipation, bloating, or other digestive issues.
