So, it's late January and you've realized you've already failed your New Year's resolution to eat healthier.  Somehow the holiday eating just continued and you are feeling tired, sluggish, moody, OH and ashamed!  You went into your New Year's resolution with enthusiasm and excitement and even downloaded new recipes and printed out a meal prep calendar.  So what the heck? Why did you fail?  In this episode of the She Creates Whole Living podcast, I am going to talk about why we might be having a tough time making healthy choices when it comes to our diet and three areas of focus that can help us be successful.  I am going to share some of my own failures and what I have done since to make eating healthy a way of life and not a "diet."  I hope this episode blesses you beyond measure.

024//My Top 3 Supplements For a Good Mood

In today's episode I am going to share with you my top 3 supplements to support a good mood.  (Please make sure to check with a medical professional before starting any supplementation!)  So many of my clients are looking for a natural way to support a good mood.  It seems that our moods swing up and down and when we see our doctor, the fix is usually medications.  Whether birth control pills, Prozac or other mental health medications, it seems like medical professionals turn to pharmaceuticals.  Most of the time this is done because that is what they know best.  Rarely do you hear a doctor talk about diet, exercise, stress management, supplementation, and other healthy lifestyle supports.  I don't blame them!  We want a quick fix and they only have 15 minutes with us, if we're lucky.  That's where wellness coaches can step in and be a great partner with you and your doctor.  If you are looking to work with someone and think we would be a good fit, go ahead and fill out this form!  I'll review your answers and reach out with an invite to a discover call, if I think we would be a good fit.
If you would like to add a probiotic to your supplementation regimen, you will want to look for one with Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium Longum, breve and infantis as they have been shown to be the most supportive when it comes to a good mood.

023//Essential Oils Series: Essential Oils for Our Minds and Emotions

Essential oils are snake oils and should never be trusted!  JK!!  The truth is you won't know until you try them yourself.  Have you ever tried to look for published research for a topic, only to find many articles for or against the same topic?  Yup!  It seems like you can find research to back up any argument nowadays.  Of course, being a bit of a science nerd, I do love reading research articles within the health and wellness space.  doTERRA has done and is currently doing leading edge research on essential oils which is why I love this company.  But if we can find articles for and against this subject matter, the only thing left to do is to try them yourself.  In today's episode we are going to be talking about using essential oils to aid in stress management, sleep and emotions.  Essential oils are another tool you can add to your wellness toolbox.  I find that combining them with other modalities really helps to support my mind, body and spirit.  I am going to share with you how to best use oils for emotional support and rest and which oils I love.  Remember, this is not medical advice and you should consult with a medical professional before trying them.
