How does physical activity reduce stress?

According to Mayo Clinic, exercise increases your overall health and your sense of well-being. Exercise in almost any form can act as a stress reliever.

✅ it increases the production of your brains feel good neurotransmitters called endorphins.
✅ it‘s meditation in motion.
✅ and it improves your mood.

Don’t think of exercise as just one more thing on your to do list. Find an activity you enjoy - whether it’s a hike, rollerskating, dancing, or a simple walk around your neighborhood - and make it a part of your regular routine.

SWIPE to see photos of a recent hiking trip I took with my family to Armstrong Woods. Definitely a relaxing and enjoyable way to spend a day together!

Would you like to add some healthy variety to your fall side dishes?

Radishes are so different when cooked, losing all of their bite and becoming sweet vehicles for salt, pepper, olive oil and whatever herb you decide to cook them with.

This recipe uses thyme, a spice I adore. The healthiest part of the radish is actually in the greens, so don’t throw them away when making this recipe and use them in another dish! The bulbs have great nutrients as well.

Radishes and their greens are an excellent source of vitamin C. They also are a very good source of potassium, folic acid and the trace mineral molybdenum. Radishes have been used for centuries for liver disorders, to improve digestion and to maintain a healthy gallbladder and liver.

Do you like to add radishes to your meals? How do you prefer them?

You are not what you eat but what you absorb. We are learning more and more how vitally important it is to have a well-functioning gut full of beneficial microbes.

Poor digestion can lead to lowered immune function, poor stress tolerance, malnutrition, inadequate sleep, and is very physically and mentally aging.

Here are my top recommendations for supporting your gut health:

✔️Eat less refined and processed foods and lean toward a more anti-inflammatory diet that includes plenty of high fiber foods like chia seeds, vegetables, and whole grains (like oatmeal).
✔️Incorporate fermented foods (and if you can't tolerate them, a good quality probiotic).
✔️Eat foods rich in polyphenols, like cloves, peppermint, oregano, celery seed, rosemary, thyme, basil, cinnamon, cumin, and turmeric.
✔️Lower stress levels, and sleep more – sleep can impact gut health and vice versa.

Have you tried any of these recommendations? How has it helped? Let me know in the comments below.

Estrogen Dominance is a term for a condition whereby a woman has excessive estrogen levels, or even normal to low estrogen levels – but they’re high relative to progesterone.

In other words, she has too little progesterone to balance the effects of estrogen.

Why are appropriate levels of progesterone so important? Progesterone is calming, keeps the thyroid on task, and raises body temperature to help boost metabolism.

Symptoms of estrogen dominance include:
- Changes to your menstrual cycle or cramps/mood changes/migraines with your cycle
- Hair loss
- Problems with fertility
- Mood changes
- Bloating
- Water retention
- Constipation
- Fatigue
- Insomnia or a reduction in the quality of your sleep
- Reduced or damaged metabolism
- Breast tenderness or breast fullness
- Decreased libido or reduced s*x drive

The delicate balance between estrogen and progesterone are like dance partners; when one partner misses a step and falls behind, the well-rehearsed choreography is off.
