90% of Americans are nutrient deficient in at least one vitamin or mineral. 😱 Think about that. . We are in the middle of a mental illness epidemic and we need MANY nutrients for neurotransmitter production. It is a matter life or death. . Choline and lutein (found in egg yolks) are two of the BEST things you can add for your brain health. 🍳 . But if you can’t get your vitamins from your food (and most of us can’t), invest in a high quality B complex vitamin or multivitamin/multimineral... and magnesium (because you pretty much need magnesium for every cellular process). . Ask me about my favorite supplements that have drastically changed my brain health. I’d love to help you find something that is right for you! 🤗 .

One of the hardest things I’ve incorporated to manage my mental health is LEARNING to BREATHE. And not only that... . Learning to be present. To quiet my mind. To breathe through the discomfort, the racing thoughts, the bursts of ideas going back and forth at full speed. . Practicing yoga the last 3 years under the guidance of this man here has been restorative, healing, and freeing. I am so sad that he won’t be my teacher anymore, but I’m excited for his next steps in ministry. ⭐️ . Nerdy side note - yoga is ESSENTIAL for mental health because it increases GABA, a calming neurotransmitter, and it stimulates the vagus nerve - which is responsible for regulating MANY of our neurotransmitters, including serotonin. It increases brain derived neurotrophic factor (which grows new brain cells), and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which takes us out of fight or flight and into rest and digest. Is it any wonder that it is much studied and used as treatment for PTSD, depression, bipolar, and anxiety? 🧘🏻‍♀️ . #holistichealth #mentalhealthawareness #yoga #yogamama #mindfulness #brainhealth #stressmanagement #ptsd #ocd #bipolar #depression #anxiety #nutrition #wellness #yogaeveryday #yogaforeverybody

“The best thing parents can do for their kids’ health is to manage their own stress.” . I was thrilled to get the opportunity to sit down and interview our amazing pediatrician, Dr. Alina Olteanu, and pick her brain on all things children’s health, from the rise in neurodevelopmental disorders to stress management to boosting the immune system for cold and flu season.🥦 . Dr. Olteanu happens to be the only pediatrician in DFW who trained at the renowned Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. Not only does she treat patients using a variety of integrative tools, but she frequently leads workshops on stress management and is even leading one this weekend on preventing and reversing screen time addiction! (Dallas friends - see my story for details)👏🏼 . She has been instrumental in Rhett’s health journey, and she has so much wisdom to share about creating lasting healthy habits for children - and parents. Click the link in my bio to access the blog post featuring her interview, OR - click the link to access the 30 minute recording via YouTube (my recommendation 😉). . #kidshealth #pediatrics #integrativemedicine #integrativenutrition #functionalmedicine #stress #nutrition #immunesupport #brainhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthsupport #guthealth #holisticliving #holistichealth

These two wild and crazy Tigers are just two of the reasons I care so much about gut health. 💪🏼 . By nourishing their gut health, I can nourish their immune AND brain health. I’ve seen improvement in both the last few years, so I’m designating this month to share allll my tips on family health. 👉🏼 As a bonus, I recently recorded an interview with our integrative pediatrician that I’ll be posting soon. Spoiler alert - it will be packed with fascinating information on some of my favorite topics. 🤗 . If you aren’t signed up for my 2 week coaching group that starts tomorrow, there’s still time! Message me to get added! . And if you haven’t signed up for The Monthly Spark, I’ll be sharing all about immune-boosting tips this month, so click the link in my bio to get free health tips every month in your inbox.👏🏼 . #guthealth #familyhealth #brainhealth #momlife #warriormom #kidshealth #motherhood #immunehealth #coldandfluseason #immuneboost #naturalhealth #holistichealth #stressmanagement #geauxtigers

Cooking used to make me sooo nervous. I was afraid I’d mess up a recipe and not know how to recover. 😂 . I never dreamed that one day I’d be throwing random ingredients together to make meals and teaching people how to use food for brain health. Yet here I am. 🤷🏻‍♀️ . My newest online coaching group starts this Monday and I am soooo excited to debut a new set of recipes with a fast track guide to save time and energy in the kitchen - and of course we’ll be talking about how to use food as brain fuel for everyone in the family - moms, dads, and kids! 🤗 . Message me for details - did I mention you’re getting two certified nutrition coaches for the price of one??? . Pictured: One of the “top secret” recipes I’ll be revealing in the group. My kids loved this gut and brain boosting dish AND asked for it the next day. Bonus - it only took 20 minutes to throw together! . Kitchen therapy doesn’t have to be complicated.👏🏼 . #easylunch #momlife #familyhealth #kidshealth #recipehelp #easyrecipes #cleaneating #wholefood #brainhealth #guthealth #wellness #nutrition #individuality #kitchentherapy #mentalhealthnutrition #mentalhealthawareness
