I'm all about balance—between eating intuitively and in tune with your unique body, balancing blood sugar levels by eating nourishing foods consistently throughout the day, moving your body in ways you actually enjoy, leading with self-love, self-compassion and gratitude mindfully and meditating on a regular basis to help keep your brain healthy.

Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself on the inside and out.
Take some time to slow down, breathe it all in and take care of you!
Self-care is not selfish. It’s necessary.
The trick to staying active is to find something you enjoy doing. For some, that means having a friend to exercise with. It doesn’t matter whether you’re going to the gym, walking around the block, dancing along to an aerobics, or going out for a quiet bike ride — just get moving.

Chia seeds is one of the best fat-burning foods out there.
Small but mighty, chia seeds have many benefits – many of which are thanks to their protein and fibre content. They can turn liquids into thicker substances – think chia pudding or adding into your oatmeal. And they provide minerals and vitamins to support the conversion of fat to energy.
One 2017 study found that the fibre and low-carbohydrate content of chia seeds was responsible for people feeling fuller for longer. Whilst another study in the same year, recorded that overweight adults who ate 30g of chia seeds daily for six months lost weight around their middles and body overall.
Now that’s a result worth emulating.

Blueberries
⠀
Not only do they count as one of your five-a-day portions. Blueberries are brilliant for burning fat – especially belly fat.
⠀
One study found that those who ate a diet rich in blueberries lost abdominal fat. And saw other health benefits like low cholesterol and improved glucose levels.
⠀
Blueberries, and other berries, have a high water content and are lower in sugar than other fruits without sacrificing sweetness. Their high antioxidant content helps keep you healthy, too.

A simple salmon dinner can help you lose weight fast, as this delicious lean fish packed with protein and omega-3s.
Salmon is a fantastic source of high-quality protein which is beneficial for weight and fat loss as the body must work harder to digest it.
In addition, salmon is a great source of omega 3 fatty acids which are shown to reduce inflammation and promote fat burning, with studies showing that fish oil supplementation can help to reduce weight and the stress hormone cortisol, which is also linked to fat storage.

It seems to me that we are at a crossroads; with so much happening, we have a choice. We can choose to feel, heal, empower, and take action, or we can choose to detach, disassociate, and wash our hands of the fate of the world.
Which is why this week I’m sharing my process for moving through and creating lasting change. I hope this brings you peace in these times of seeming instability and hope in the uncertainty. Together I believe we truly can change the world.
1. Allow yourself to feel and honor the emotions that come through. Trying times deserve the corresponding emotions. Don’t deny yourself of your feelings. I like to say that our feelings are our compass, and they let us know where we stand at any given moment.
2. Notice what lights you up. Many of these injustices and tragedies are opportunities to recognize causes that we are passionate about. When things go wrong we have the opportunity to be a part of the solution
3. Use your voice to share your truth. We are gifted in these times to have wide platforms to share our truths and our passions. Social media is a wonderful way to share our impassioned beliefs. Take time to know what you want to say and then speak your truth in a powerful, loving, and passionate way.
4. Remember that your thoughts, actions, and beliefs matter. Remember all those weeks when we discussed the concept of thoughts to things? Notice the world you are creating for yourself with your thoughts, actions, and beliefs. Is it a world that adds to the problem or to the solution?
5. Remember that you are a valuable piece of the world’s puzzle. We are truly in this together, and we are all ONE. Go about your day with the intention of treating others with kindness and respect, show love to all even when you think it’s least deserved, and find compassion for those who are troubled.
Let us know how you will show the world love and compassion today!

As your body perceives stress, your adrenal glands make and release the hormone cortisol into your bloodstream. Often called the “stress hormone,” cortisol causes an increase in your heart rate and blood pressure. It’s your natural “flight or fight” response that has kept humans alive for thousands of years.
Be aware of your own stress levels and takes steps to manage your stress. Simple practices such as getting enough sleep, exercising, meditating, deep breathing techniques and scheduling leisure activities are a good start.
Kale and Kiwi Green Smoothie Bowl
A bright and refreshing kiwi smoothie bowl is an excellent way to start off your day. Health and flavor go hand in hand in this recipe to deliver you a beautiful breakfast you’ll want to enjoy.
INGREDIENTS:
Kale – if you find it bitter in your smoothies, remove that fibrous stem. It packs lots of nutrients, but can add bitterness when uncooked. Just using the leaves is still super healthy!
Bananas – If possible peel, chop, and freeze your banana the night before. It needs to be frozen to create that thick texture rather than a smoothie we drink. You can even prep a bunch and keep them in the freezer so they’re ready when you are.
Almond milk – You can use your favorite non-dairy milk to make this, or regular milk if it’s not important to keep this vegan.
Kiwis – You can peel and chop them, or simply cut them in half and scoop the flesh out with a spoon.
Maple syrup – Just a splash makes all the difference. Honey or brown rice syrup could also work.
Toppings
Making a kale kiwi smoothie bowl could not be easier! Add everything to your blender, and let it do the work. But once you’ve poured that luscious, green kale smoothie into your bowl, it’s time to think about toppings.
The options really are endless. Just think about a few key things – texture, flavor, and making it a balanced meal. Here are some suggestions for how to get all of that into one easy breakfast.
Nuts– Not only do nuts add texture, but they also provide protein and healthy fats. Toasted and chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds are all wonderful options.
Seeds – Texture and nutrition are also benefits of seeds like pepitas (pumpkin seeds), sunflower seeds, or even pomegranate seeds.
Granola – Whether you like classic oat style granola or a one mixed with other grains like toasted quinoa or puffed rice, it adds substance that both fills you up and adds a lovely crunchy bite with every spoonful.
Fresh fruit – This is easy! Just think about what went into it. Fresh slices of banana or kiwi would be great. Or add other winter favorites like pineapple to mix things up.
Other fun options – coconut chips, dried fruits, an extra drizzle of maple syrup, or a swirl of fresh yogurt can make the perfect finishing touch to a smoothie bowl, and make them pretty too.
Simply choose a variety of your favorites and layer them across the top. All that’s left is to dig in and enjoy every cool, refreshing bite of your kiwi smoothie bowl.
