CBD• Truth is CBD and me have been besties for the past 6 months or so. Anxiety isn’t always convenient and neither was my addiction to anxiety medication.. which started almost 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with cancer. I was met with intense waves of anxiety (all emotions really)which quickly ended up taking over every aspect of my life. I was prescribed Ativan at the time which I later learned was highly addictive. . . I was lucky to get off of it after my surgery (not a fun week) and since have turned to a number of nervine relaxant herbs and supplements to support me through my anxious moments. . . If you’ve ever considered CBD I highly recommend it for anxiety and managing chronic pain (both of which I live with) and have been recommending in my practice to those who struggle with intense anxiety. It is also important to pay attention to the sources of your anxiety and pain and proactively work towards a solution and the root of the imbalances. . . I currently use Calyx Heal and Focus which I order through @birchandfogcanada. You can save $20 by using my promo code SPROUT. Get it now because they have a little extra special price for legalization day!! . . Now can we all just chill? . . What’s you experience with CBD? Interested in coming to my upcoming CBD workshop? Keep your eyes open for details 😉
Reishi• Also known as hemlock reishi and ganoderma lucidum this species of mushroom is known as a powerful immune system supporter and referred to as the mushroom of immortality. It is very grounding, focusing and calming for the mind and plays an important role in our endocrine system, as it’s triterpenes help with hormonal balance and support. It also enhances the quality of deep slow wave sleep and lowers cortisol levels to the body resulting in more restorative sleeps. . . I harvested these gangoderma in Northern Ontario and process them for personal use throughout the year. . . What’s your favourite medicinal mushroom? Are you curious about using mushrooms to support your own healing? . . . . . .#ganoderma #ganodermalucidum #reishimushroom #reishi #foraging #mushroomforaging #wildfood #foraged #foragedfood #foragedmushrooms #mushroommedicine #immunesystem #autoimmunedisease #autoimmune #thyroidectomy #hashimotos #hashimotosdisease #lupus #graves #autoimmunewarrior #rheumatoidarthritis #thyca #mothernaturesbeauty #naturestagram #forestmedicine #torontonutritionist #holisticnutritionist #healthylifestyle#wildmedicine
Support• You don’t have to do it all alone. I know that’s a hard one to swallow. . . A huge part of why I adore my job is the connections I get to make with people, people like yourself who have spent far too long going at this alone. . Alone...every time you wander the isle of a health food store, take a guess at what “diet” is right for you (none are), get an answer from a doctor you don’t understand or feel fed up and hopeless with your body. . . So often we feel alone and isolated in our health experiences and it really doesn’t need to be the case. I personally, spent 2 years dealing with my own cancer crisis alone, feeling isolated like no one really got it, no one was in my corner and honestly it was so exhausting. . . You don’t HAVE to do this alone, I know you don’t WANT to and maybe you just never considered that having a nutritionist in your corner may make things easier. Like way easier. . . If you need support with your health right now, transitioning back to life after an illness or just someone to guide you through balancing your hormones (because Dr. Google can be a bit overwhelming) I’m right here. . . If you want to get in touch via a free call (link in my bio) or just send me a DM about where you’re at with your health challenges please don’t hesitate. You deserve to be supported and feel amazing! . . . . 📷 @creatinglight.studio . . #thyroidectomy #holisticnutrition #healthymind #healing #thycawarrior #thyroidproblems #thyroidnodule #autoimmuneprotocol #iamwellandgood #autoimmunedisease #autoimmune #thyroidcancer #thyroidproblems #chronicpain #glutenfreevegan #glutenfree #aip #autoimmunewarrior #thyroidcancersurvivor #thyca #holistichealing #holisticnutritionist #thyroidcancersurvivor #cleaneating#holisticnutrition#holistichealth#torontonutritionist #herbalist #herbalism
Hey pumpkin• Sunday’s done right with this pumpkin pancake stack which is obviously keto friendly, sugar free and gluten free. . . And yes if you wondered I ate the whole stack 🙈 . . Most of you know I love @lakantosweetener as a sugar substitute for baking and everyday use but they also have my fav high protein, no sugar pancake mix we always keep stocked up on.✅ . . You’ll need 2/3 cup of this pancake mix from @lakantocanada 1/2 purée steamed pumpkin or canned 1 tbsp MCT oil 1 tbsp raw almond butter (topping) 1 flax egg/egg 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 cup water . . Prepare as usual but be sure to cook in ghee @leesprovisions! Nothing makes these tastier (coconut oil is a great vegan alternative). I topped them with a monk fruit sweetener maple flavoured syrup from @lakantocanada too. . . . #sugarfree #nosugarchallenge #nosugar #nosugardiet #candidadiet #candidafriendly #diabetes #diabeticfood #food52gram #beautifulcuisines #pumpkinpancakes #vegan #buzzfeast #nongmo #eatplants #healthymind #bbg #sezzysquad #eatthis #eatrealfood #jerf #changethewayyousnack #foodblogger #torontofoodie #sundaystack #pancakes #keto #ketodiet #ketobreakfast #breakfastclub
FIGS• Happy Figgin Friday! Figs are officially my favourite toast topping along with almond butter. This year we’ve been buying our almond butter in reusable mason jars at @bulkbarnfoods because #zerowaste is important to me. : My in-laws grow their own figs (in Toronto) and they are literally the sweetest things ever (figs and them included). So obviously we are enjoying the last of the season. Figs are one of those fruits with thin skin so it’s important to consider buying organic when you can. . . Plus figs are packed with calcium( win win for my dairy free peeps), B6 and potassium. . What’s your favourite toast topper?
Pause• If your week has been anything like mine just know that it’s okay to feel all the feels. 💙 You are not alone. You can get past this too. : The things you tell yourself matter more than anything else. What mantra do you want to tell yourself more? Mine is in the comments. Xo
Abundance• It’s been rushing in. Filling up space all the spaces in my life. Falling between the cracks of my own brokenness. My heart feels full. Connections. Teachings. Sisterhood. Plant medicine. Friendships. Soul food. Fresh fruits. Sunshine. Laughter. Expression. Rest. Growth. Joy. Calm. Intensity. Dreams. More of this universe, more of this. . . What are you calling more of into your own life? Let’s manifest it together. And yes there was a time where I didn’t believe any of this was possible for myself. So if you’re down on yourself tonight or feeling all the feels, you’re not alone. Xo💕
