1226 hours of learning, studying, training... whew! It was an intense year, but I did it! And, I'm super proud of myself! It's not always easy for me to dive into something just for me, but I am so glad that I did. Next up: I want to be your go-to source for the foundations of health. I want to help everyday people improve their health through realistic nutrition and foundational wellness habits - without extreme dieting, expensive biohacks, or overwhelm. #ntatraining #nutritionaltherapy #ntp #nutritionaltherapypractitioner #focusonfoundations by @focusonfoundations

There are SO MANY free & simple ways to work towards better health without completely overhauling your life, without starting a new trendy diet, & without spending your life savings on a supplement stack. Which foundation do you need the most work on right now?

I am so grateful that I found @emilymorrow account. She worked with @clearstemskincare to develop lab tests that would help people pinpoint why they have acne. I scoured her website many times, saw that she attended the Nutritional Therapy Association (@ntatraining), and had to know what their program is all about. Studying the foundations of health was exactly what I was looking for. Diving into nutrient-dense food, digestion, blood sugar regulation, stress, and sleep and how they are all intertwined. So fascinating! I love talking about it and teaching others how they can better their health as well. Let me know below if you can relate to any of my story!#nutritionaltherapy #myhealthstory #ntatraining #focusonfoundations #foundationalhealing by @focusonfoundations

My adult years continued with digestive issues, acne and eventually mild depression. My dermatologist: "Having acne at your age is just bad luck"My gastroenterologist: "If it hurts, don't eat it"A 1200 calorie diet + teaching Zumba = Morton's neuroma (in my feet) & shoulder tendinitis My Primary Care doc: "Here are some exercises to do"This advice is why they get paid the big bucks 🙃Finally a Naturopath came to my rescue and listened to all of my health woes. She was the FIRST PERSON to ever connect dots for meMy naturopath: "It's likely that your gut is causing the acne" 🤯 Mind blown. I truly hope she gets paid the big bucks. Turns out I had candida overgrowth & that diagnosis turned me towrd all things holistic. #healthstory #nutritionaltherapy#milddepression #candidaovergrowth #gutskinconnection by @focusonfoundations

What my health story lacks in drama, it makes up for in relatability. Childhood digestive issues + teenage hormones + teenage eating habits = ACNEAnyone shocked?! I'm not! But, then I went off to college determined to not gain the Freshman 15, so I swore off fat. My diet consisted of baby carrots, fat-free dressing, soft pretzels, and diet Pepsi (cuz 0 calories!). Did I mention that I climbed 11 flights of stairs 2x per day that year?! So let's add "under-fueled" to the list. IBS ✔️ PMS ✔️ Acne ✔️ Fat free & sugar diet ✔️ Under-fueled ✔️ Prescribed birth control ✔️ What a combo! Does this sound at all familiar to you?? Let me know in the comments! Stay tuned for the next episode - my childbearing years. #irritablebowel #commonnotnormal#healthstory #nutritionaltherapy #underfueling by @focusonfoundations

My story isn't one of drama or anything wild & crazy, but it is a very relatable story. My digestion issues started at a pretty young age & I just figured beans and I weren't meant to be. My mom, a nurse at the time, told me I probably had irritable bowels. Little did I know that's a real thing! But, the best we knew to do was take milk of magnesia. I can still taste it! Stay tuned for the teenage years... which I'm sure you can guess what else I started struggling with!Did you have digestive issues as a kid?

Afternoon crashes were the story of my life, especially when my kids were young enough to take naps. I would be struggling to keep my eyes open reading them books before nap time. Then, as soon as they were out I grabbed my diet Pepsi (yeah, I really don't like diet coke 🫣). After going through the NTP program, I learned more than I could imagine about blood sugar & that low blood sugar was why I felt so tired.I was in my calorie counting days, not my protein-maxxing days. Now I know way better. Each morning, I start the day with a minimum of 20g protein, usually more. For lunch, I eat more protein, healthy fats, and some carbs. Afternoon rolls in and I'm still feeling good! I also go for walks, exercise, and get about 7-8 hours of sleep. Put the energy drink down and grab some protein! You'll feel way better! #bloodsugarcrash #energycrash #afternoonslump #eatmoreprotein #focusonfoundations by @focusonfoundations

When it comes to dairy quality & bio-individuality matter!QUALITY:Conventional dairy is the lowest quality dairy there is, meaning less nutrients, cows were fed corn & oats sprayed with pesticides, given antibiotics because of their crowded living situationGrass-fed dairy is going to have more nutrients, because the cows are roaming outside eating what cows are naturally meant to eat: grass! Raw (from a good source) is great, too. Even more nutrients because they weren't destroyed by pasteurization & it has good bacteria in it. BIO-INDIVIDUALITY:How does your body handle dairy? Do you experience:GasBloatingStomachacheAcneBrain fogIf yes, then you may be sensitive to dairy, which means you may have to limit or cut out dairy completely. What do you think? Is dairy healthy or not? Give me your thoughts below 👇#grassfeddairy #nutrientdensefoods #bioindividuality #qualitymattershere #rawmilkdairy by @focusonfoundations
