The Gut Nerd

Lunch time at school can be stressful for kids. Wondering who to eat with, if anyone will talk to them......and even worrying about how they will look while eating (my kids have told me they worry about this) This stress can impede their digestion......believe it or not! Feeling relaxed and included at lunchtime can help to relieve some of this stress.... I love the idea of there being a day where kids are encouraged to be accepting, welcoming and inclusive to all! Now with the big C, I'm not sure how this type of inclusion would work, as kids (at least in my kids school), eat in their class with the same kids. Although, I'm sure there's a few kids in the class who may feel left out and being included during lunch time and treated kindly may just make their lunch even better. xo

We still have a long way to go with research on this, but have a read (it's quick)! Fascinating don't you think? xo

ALL NATURAL . A few years ago I loved all things sweet! . I still do, but I don’t CRAVE sugar like I used to. Cutting out chemical and processed foods (for the most part), has helped immensely!... . Now when I want to sweeten something, I’ll use raw honey, cane sugar, monk fruit sweetener or stevia. . @nowfoodscanada has a new product! It’s called BetterStevia! It’s made from pure organic Stevia extract. . It’s low glycemic, organic and calorie free for those counting calories (which isn’t you because Gut Nerds count plants...not calories.) . This product has no bitter aftertaste, and blends nicely in both hot and cold products! . I just had some in my overnight oats this morning and this product sweetened them to perfection!! . Wanna give it a try? Tap on over to the link in my bio and go get yourself some! . Stay tuned for my reel....(be sure to share...I’m super proud of it..). . Thanks to @vistamagcanada for sharing such a great product with me so I can share it with you!! .

It's February! Heart Health Month! This month I'll be sharing important information on diet and lifestyle that can help to prevent and reverse Cardio Vascular Disease. A heart attack is a primary component of Cardio-Vascular Disease. As uncomfortable it may be to learn about, knowledge is power and this is important to know!... xo
