Welcome to Holistic YYC

If I could carry around enough business cards in my wallet for the amount of times people have asked my advice for who to go to for X, what do I think about Y product or where should I go to find Z, I would be bordering on rivaling George Costanza. Instead, I developed Holistic YYC, your one stop holistic hub for professional advice, product reviews, recommended practition

ers and places to go around Calgary to satisfy your holistic needs. My mission is to help guide you along the way no matter where your start point is and help you feel better in body, mind and spirit. I want to educate, encourage and empower you to take control of your health and remove the gap between contemplating action and taking action.

When laundry day is everyday 🧺 🧺 🧺

Okay, seriously... how often do you have to do laundry?

How the hell did my mom not just sleep next to the washing machine after having 4 kids?

Exclusive breastfeeding was always the plan, until the NICU said he needed formula. *New Blog Up*
-
As a holistic nutrition practitioner, I was always dead set on giving my babe ONLY breastmilk. That is, until the second I became a mother and didn’t hesitate to formula feed my tiny human.
-
Getting him off formula and onto strictly breastfeeding was pretty easy - but that was the start of my postpartum anxiety around feeding. I haven’t shared much about what it was like for me just starting out. I like to think I am a pretty easy going person. Whatever challenges I’m faced with I deal with internally and try to have a positive face to the world.
-
I think it’s time to share my battle with breastfeeding, my postpartum anxiety. To many friends and family - I show you that it seemed easy, but it was far from it.
-
My hope is that by sharing my story, it can help someone else struggling to know they’re not alone. Breastfeeding is tough! It doesn’t come naturally and abundantly to every mama. It’s teeth gritting, exhausting and can be very emotionally lonely. I want to thank Samer for always trying to help, even when I wouldn’t let him. I can’t imagine what that was like for him.
-
If you know a breastfeeding mama, please ask how she is doing. Support is something that can get us through the hardest of times.

I'm happiest in the kitchen. I love food, I love nutrition and I love making 'not so healthy meals' healthier. The B***y Food idea came to me in the kitchen, while making my son's first baby foods.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those who have followed my B***y Food and Mama journey, I've shared with you Sage was born SGA and how difficult it was for me to breastfeed and pump extra breastmilk. My "supply" was never more than 6 bags at most. It was one of the most stressful, defeating and demoralizing times in my life. I felt like I was there was something wrong with me and envied other mamas that made it seem so effortless.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it came time to introduce solids, I became very anxious at the thought of Sage not getting enough nutrients because he may breastfeed less. In my nutrition practice, I love helping clients sneak in extra nutrients wherever and whenever they can. But this time, it wasn't so easy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wanted so badly so use my breastmilk in his baby food. Every time I'd open the freezer door I let out a sigh, hung my head in shame and closed the door. I just could't bare the thought of thawing a whole bag of breastmilk to only use a portion of it. I only had 4, no-where-near-full bags left.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They say that necessity is the mother of all invention. I really can't think of a truer statement when talking about how B***y Food came to be.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
B***y Food is a service that turns your frozen breastmilk into freeze-dried powder that is shelf-stable, travel friendly and nutrient dense powder that lasts for years!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

An extended commentary in the New England Journal of Medicine points out that dairy consumption is unnecessary and may be harmful.

Why hello all you beautiful babes in Fb land 🤩
Welcome to B***y Food ( O Y o )
My name is Janna, I'm the lady behind this crazy idea making little waves and ripples around .
-
You may have seen me around the mommy markets over the last 6 months or so and wondered... what the heck is B***y Food? Am I selling my own freeze-dried breastmilk? Am I selling other people's freeze-dried breastmilk? Why would I want to have freeze-dried breastmilk anyways?
-
Allow me clear up some common questions...
B***y Food is a service direct to mamas who never want to waste another drop of breastmilk ever again!
-
Whether you have a low supply (like me), normal, or over supply, if you're weaning your babe, going back to work or transitioning to solid foods, B***y Food is here to make sure every drop of your breastmilk is used for your growing babe.
-
B***y Food transforms YOUR frozen breastmilk into freeze-dried powder that is shelf-stable, travel-friendly and nutrient dense that will last for YEARS.
-
Have you cried over spilled breastmilk? 🙋🏻‍♀ I know I sure have!
-
Have you thawed a whole bag of breastmilk only to use half and then let out a big sigh as you threw the other half out? 🙋🏻‍♀
-
What about travelling? ✈ or moving? 🏘 Have you had to throw out your breastmilk supply because you couldn't transport it long distances 🚙 or couldn't take it with you because you didn't have a temperature-controlled cooler ❄ available?
-
Is your supply coming up to 'expiry' date? Worried about what to do with all that stash of hard work, pain, sleepless nights and sore ni***es? 😩
-
Does your babe refuse take a bottle? 🍼
-
B***y Food helps relieve all of these stressful situations, and more. With your freeze-dried breastmilk, you can use as much or as little as you want: whenever, wherever.

Happy New Year..I'm back baby!! With a new ebook too!

As many of you know I've been enjoying my new mommyhood life and I haven't been very active on Holistic YYC since giving birth. My family is my everything and I wanted to spend as much time getting to know my new little man as possible while on my maternity leave.

Lots of new and exciting things have been brewing, which I'm thrilled beyond belief to share with you, but first let's start with helping you achieve your 2020 New Years Resolutions and health goals.

My new ebook The 10 Day Detox (Guide + Workbook + Recipes) is now available for download on PDF (link below) or on Amazon kindle if that's more your jam.

Wishing you a happy and healthy new year!
