It’s World Breastfeeding Week 🤱🏽!!⠀ ⠀ To support breastfeeding for a healthy mom, baby 👶🏿 & planet I want to talk about Breastfeeding & exercise 🏃🏾♀️!! ⠀ ⠀ Despite the health benefits of exercise & breastfeeding there are still tons of myths regarding the “safety of exercise” while nursing 🤱🏽! ⠀ ⠀ Here are 5 of the most common misbeliefs 👉🏽 ⠀ ⠀ 1. Exercise will limit your milk supply! ⠀ 2. Exercise will increase breast pain! ⠀ 3. Exercise will affect the taste of your milk! ⠀ 4. Baby will refuse! ⠀ 5. Exercise will alter the goodies of your milk! ⠀ ⠀ All these are just “opinions” not based of science 🧬. When we look at the evidence about exercise & breastfeeding the conclusion is clear: ⠀ It is safe, will not harm, limit or make your milk sour!!! ⠀ ⠀ Some tips I give breastfeeding moms is to clean the sweat of the nipples after training & train accordingly to their condition level! We will adapt the training to the postpartum phase but never never never discourage breastfeeding or exercise! On the contrary, it will be beneficial for mom & baby! ⠀ ⠀ What are your thoughts? Has anybody advise you against breastfeeding & training? Comment below 👇🏽 #breastfeedingathlete #worldbreastfeedingweek2020 #wbw2020 #breastfeeding - @dr.tamararial on Instagram

I always felt like a failure because I couldn’t find the space to exude positivity about my body. I tried the ‘fake it til you make it approach,’ and that didn’t work. I tried to be loud about #bodypositivity on Instagram, but that just felt inauthentic. What was wrong with me? Why couldn’t I love my body the way that it was? I see so many of you struggling with my same question. And the issue isn’t you, it’s the way the question is framed. Rather than asking yourself if you love your body, ask yourself if you accept your body, with all its flaws and imperfections. Accepting our bodies rather than feeling forced to love our bodies for what they look like can be a game changer. If you can accept how your body looks, if you can find neutrality with your body, you are taking steps in the right direction. Because at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what our bodies look like, it matters what they’re capable of...and that is something to love. - @astoldbymary on Instagram

In the words of Chance the Rapper, “Dude, that sh*t don’t even make no f*cking sense” Buy the cleanse or don’t. Add butter to your coffee or don’t. You have full body autonomy i’m not here to pretend I know how you should live your life. My point is that we are sent WILDLY mixed messages when it comes to what, how and when to eat, and it’s on purpose. The diet industry wants to keep you confused, guessing, doubting yourself, and looking to them for the “latest and greatest” answers. And they want you do engage in behaviors they can make $$ from. I call bullshit. They have no clue what they’re talking about and their #1 priority is to take your money and make you feel inadequate. The saddest part is that the food fear created by these a-holes can take YEARS to undo. I have clients who are afraid to eat bananas. This is not okay. Call bullshit on #dietculture it’s full of sh*t *my Instagram is for educational purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for medical advice, nutrition counseling or therapy* Want more?

What happens when our inner child is seeking to heal a childhood wound in our adult relationship? So this is really like a core, core idea of what I believe. The Imago Relationship Therapy founders, the Hendrixes, in their book, Getting the Love You Want, talk a lot about this. When we have a wound in childhood, its looking to be healed in the context of relationship. So much healing needs to be done in the context of relationship. Thats why often self-healing on its own is not enough. We need a support system, a self help group, a counselor, a pastor, somebody that we can have that relationship that facilitates a space for healing. So I use the analogy like a record player, or a CD, even. Do you remember when music used to be on physical media? (Its okay if you dont!) If there was like a scratch in the record or in the CD, it would just skip and it would play the same part over and over. And you would have to lift up the needle of the record player and move it to keep the record going, or take the CD and wipe it to clean it and then put it back in and the song would play through. So, a childhood wound or a childhood trauma seeking to heal in adult relationships is like that scratch in the record, or that scratch in the CD. Its stuck, Its going to keep replaying that wound over and over until its healed, until through a safe relationship that scratch is able to be cleaned off the CD, or that needle is able to move, and then youre able to continue on.

Sometimes, we’re biologically hungry-please eat, you have unconditional permission to do so. AND sometimes, we’re hungry for something else but we don’t sit with the hunger long enough to figure out what it is. . The need for recognizing this type of hunger is really important. Being hungry for food is something else your body needs which you can satisfy by eating, but the hunger which is not for food can only be satisfied if you recognize it and channelize into proper direction. What is it that you are hungry for? PS: Did you check our free Instagram Masterclass? Helpful to your Instagram growth 🚀. If not, Link in bio @socialebox .

Reality check: no one over the age of two can realistically thrive off of 1,200 calories. Please keep that in mind!! We are so inundated with 1200 calorie diets and low calorie crash diets in general that that seems normal! IT IS NOT NORMAL. Let’s normalize NORMAL eating and listening to our bodies (which everyone is different but usually need much more than 2,000 calories a day, just sayin).

Before I lived with IBS myself I had always assumed it was just about bloating and embarrassing toilet habits. I never realised how debilitating the anxiety around symptoms, fear of foods, poor body image and all the other stuff that comes with the illness could be. People (doctors included based on personal experience) can be very quick to brush off IBS as they don’t realise the impact it has on our mental health as well as physical. It has the ability to control our lives if we let it, but we have the ability to take that control back. IBS may always be a part of us, but it doesn’t have to be the biggest part - we just need to invest the time into understanding our body and minds and freeing ourselves from the anxiety-symptom cycle. (And of course ‘My Tummy Diary’ can help with that!) 📔✏️ - @youvegutthis on Instagram

All women with hormonal imbalances should address inflammation first, as this is usually the root cause. ⠀ Let’s talk about inflammation 👉🏻 We want inflammation under certain circumstances, like if we have a wound or an infection. However, what we don’t want is to have chronic low-grade inflammation. Having chronic inflammation in our bodies can disrupt our hormones and cause premature aging. Chronic inflammation can also damage our egg quality and intestinal health and can even cause depression and anxiety. ⠀ You have tremendous power over balancing your hormones naturally. Start with what you eat. A hormone-balancing diet includes the right foods to steady your blood sugar levels and optimise insulin levels. Eating a wide variety of colours and foods will help you get a broad spectrum of nutrients you need to fight inflammation. ⠀ Have you tried an anti-inflammatory diet? Is it something that you want to learn more about? Let me know below 👇🏻 ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #nutritioncoach #hormoneimbalance #hormonebalance #hormonehealth #hormonebalancing #naturalfertility #cyclesyncing #hormones #fertility #pmsrelief #periodproblems #womenswellness #pcos #endometriosis #periodpositive #functionalnutrition #bodypositivity #fertilityawareness #healthyperiod #fertilitydiet #menstrualcycle #periodpower #healyourbody #foodcoach #antiinflammatory #pcosdiet - @marinadwright on Instagram

Does this clear it up? . Even when we have the very best of intentions, it is not ok to comment on someone’s body. We can be doing harm. . Over the years, I heard many stories from clients with eating disorders that they often received positive feedback for being in a small body or losing weight. People’s well intentioned comments reinforced unhealthy disordered eating behaviours. . We also don’t know what someone is going through. For example, there are many reasons for weight loss that are not a result of health (side effects of medications, mental health struggles, cancer, disordered eating etc.,). . When we comment on someone’s body (again, even with the best intentions), we are implying the body is the most interesting or important part of that person, which is likely untrue. We reinforce the belief that body and appearance matters most. . It’s difficult and awkward when we first stop making body comments (speaking from personal experience). For example, when someone mentions that they lost weight, the conventional response is to say “congratulations” and “you look great”. I used to feel awkward for not giving that response. . There is a possibility someone might feel good after receiving a body based complement, but it also might cause harm. We don’t know when it causes harm and when it doesn’t. So let’s not do it. I strongly believe that not commenting on someone’s body is doing less harm than commenting. . I am not saying don’t give complements. Absolutely go to town with complements but they don’t have to be body or appearance based. There are so many nice things we can tell others that have absolutely nothing to do with their body. Try to think of some examples. .

The best treatment for acne is one that involves an approach that addresses the ROOT CAUSE of acne. Hormonal acne is multifactorial - it’s a symptom of an underlying hormonal imbalance caused by a combination of factors such as micronutrient deficiencies, poor gut health & elimination, inflammation & poor dietary and lifestyle habits. Address these foundations and over time you can clear acne naturally and for good. But when we treat hormonal acne with pharmaceuticals or expensive treatments - sure your skin may clear and appear to be “fixed” but unfortunately its working as a bandaid, ignoring the root cause of the problem, only providing a temporary result. In fact, treatments like birth control and antibiotics can worsen the hormonal imbalance that trigger acne in the first place. When you stop using pharmaceuticals often acne returns, and sometimes even worse. Then, you’re offered another pharmaceutical to fix what the first one caused and the cycle begins again🤯😢 I know that acne can really impact quality of life and destroy self-esteem and this is why pharmaceuticals are often used and can really help with this - I totally get it. What I want to ensure however, is that you are fully informed about the side-effects of these options, how they REALLY work and that you’re not misguided into believing that they are the holy grail of miracle acne “cures” - because they are not. If you’re struggling with hormonal acne, don’t lose hope! With the right support involving a holistic and natural approach to eating and living in support of your hormones you can clear your skin :) The Moonbox subscription has supported over 1000 women in reclaiming their hormonal health, many of which would never have believed they could clear their acne for good!

Have you ever talked to your kid about what to do if he/she ever got separated from you?⠀ ⠀ I know…these are scary thoughts, but part of our job as parents is to empower out little ones with knowledge they can use in case of an emergency.⠀ ⠀ The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that children should be able to clearly state his/her first and last name by the age of 4 years. And should be able to memorize your phone number by the age of 5 years.⠀ ⠀ I understand that every child is different, but as a pediatrician who has worked with children and families for over 15 years, I strongly believe that children nowadays are able to master these skills at a younger age than believed.⠀ ⠀ Think about it…Preschoolers use phones and tablets with ease. They know how to find and play games in their parent’s electronics. They are familiar with face timing and other ways of communication. ⠀ ⠀ If your child has not memorized this vital information yet…get started today! Please save and share this post with a mom or dad who can benefit from it ❤️ ⠀ 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌? - @drlaramd on Instagram

This was the final slide of my last post, but I thought it deserved it’s own place on my feed. In order to move forward, it’s important to understand and acknowledge the history of Indigenous peoples being harmed by colonialism, and the oppressive structures that continue to exist in today’s society. It’s also important to recognize the resiliency and strength of Indigenous peoples. Teachers need to remember to celebrate Indigenous peoples in their classrooms. That was honestly a big motivation in creating my poster series. I wanted to celebrate the accomplishments of contemporary Indigenous peoples and acknowledge the amazing work they are doing in the world.

Just a little Monday morning reminder. Contrary to what their portrayed as - eating disorders aren’t just not ever eating. People with eating disorders still eat. Also worth noting - people with eating disorders can still enjoy eating. Eating fast food, eating comfort food, eating something considered “bad” - none of it negates the fact that your eating disorder is real and it is serious. A wide variety of thought patterns and behaviors can make up someone’s eating disorder and it’s different for all of us. One little post can’t even come close to covering it all so I’m not going to try but I do want to say: An eating disorder is a mental illness. Which means that the behaviors are stemming from the beliefs in your mind. Regardless of your behaviors, if your mind is sick, your disorder is real. - @antidietbabe on Instagram
The power of mindful thinking is amazing 👌🏼Telling yourself you can’t do this, it’s often coupled with the assumption that your efforts as a parent will not be rewarded. It’s creates an invisible wall, by telling yourself you can’t do something, you are already set up for failure leaving us feeling overwhelmed. 😰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shine through with a positive perspective change! 🙌🏼 Begin to start your days with the a positive/growth mindset that new lessons you’ve learned and moments you’ve shared are personal to your family. Instead of telling yourself that you can’t do it or focusing on the specific outcome, try flipping your thinking to reflect the positivity that every day can have a new lesson and that you will grow from it! 🌞⠀ ⠀ #Trehausco #PostiveVibes #GrowthMindset - @trehausco on Instagram
What the heck is estrogen dominance? . Its usually when estrogen is the dominant hormone in relationship to progesterone. . Its true that many people experiencing estrogen dominance have low progesterone, but not all. . In fact, Ive seen people with normal levels of progesterone still struggle with symptoms due to poor detoxification of estrogen or estrogen accumulated in the tissues. . Symptoms of elevated estrogen in the body include: 🍊Inability to lose wight 🍊Insulin Resistance 🍊Painful, Symptomatic Periods 🍊Anxiety & Depression (especially pre-period) 🍊Headaches & Migraines 🍊Acne 🍊Infertility Just to name a few. . But where many practitioners take a lets throw a supplement/bandaid on the problem, my approach differs. . See, our liver and gut are the main players in metabolizing and breaking down estrogen. . They need to be fueled properly and correctly for ANYTHING to happen. . And because thyroid hormone plays such a key role in detox and progesterone plays a key role in liver and gut function, we HAVE to be supporting our metabolism and ovulation. . Because we only make progesterone when we ovulate. . Many women experience symptoms of estrogen movement the first 1-3 months of my online course Fully Nourished because estrogen has been stuck in their tissues for so long. . Once they start restoring metabolism, estrogen starts moving and hormones finally begin to balance. . This is simply done by a nutrient dense, protein balanced with carbs method paired with a low PUFA and low gut irritating foods approach. . My estrogen detox story: I remember when I first started eating pro-metabolic and I got my worst period ever- dark, heavy, clotty, crampy, 5-6 cystic zits, then, every period improved from there. Now, theyre asymptomatic! 🙌🏼 .

What is Naturopathic Medicine? 🩺👩🏻⚕️ Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors: Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease. Symptoms of disease are seen as warning signals of improper functioning of the body, and unfavourable lifestyle habits. Naturopathic Medicine emphasizes disease as a process rather than as an entity. American Association of Naturopathic Physicians: Naturopathic doctors are trained in the art and science of both natural and conventional medicine.

Mindset is everything. 🙌🏼 Overly restrictive diets and unnecessary food rules can often result in periods of over-eating or binging to compensate (because both your body and mind are STARVING!). One of the best approaches to making a healthy change in your diet is to look for nourishing foods to ADD to it, instead of looking for “bad” foods to cut out or restrict from your diet. 🍕 Craving pizza for dinner? Instead of eating the whole thing, have half the pizza and add a big side salad or portion of vegetables 🍦 Ice cream for dessert? YUM! Instead of 2 scoops try having 1 scoop and add a generous serve of your favourite fruit 🥦 Add a few vegetable based meals to your week By “adding” more nutritious foods into your diet your mindset automatically shifts to that of “I’m eating XYZ to nourish my body and make myself feel good” instead of “I can’t have XYZ because it’s bad for me”. 💁🏼♀️ You do not need to cut out your favourite foods to be healthy or lose weight, ALL foods are welcome in a healthy diet, it’s just about having them in the right balance 😉 - @healthybodhealthymind on Instagram

Imagine this, you’re focused on your goals, determined to make it happen. You’re so good all day long but then as soon as the full moon rises your worst nightmare appears. You woof down treats. Double portions. And snack until your jaw gets tired... only then, as you lick the Cheeto dust off your fingers, do you realize the monster that you’ve become. Has this ever happened to you? I’ve seen info graphics that suggest beating the evening snack attacks with some carrots or a cup of tea... and yeah, that might work... but shouldn’t we address the CAUSE rather then the SYMPTOMS? 1. You skipped meals. Maybe intentionally or maybe you just got busy, but either way if you are less than you should have during the day, you might feel a pull to eat more at night. 2. Even if you’re eating enough calories, if the macro balance (where those calories come from) I’d put of whack, you’re going to be starving. You need a balance of protein, carbs, fats, and fiber. 3. You’re restricting. We’re all still toddlers at heart— tell us we can’t have something and we just want it all the more. Give yourself permission to eat the foods you enjoy, eat those foods in moderation and in good company. 4. In your feels... I get it. But this is a slippery slope, food will only fill the hole in your belly, never a hole in your heart. If you feel out of control in your life you’ll likely feel out of control in the kitchen. Talk to someone. 5. You’re literally tired and trying to get more energy to stay awake. GO TO BED. 6. If you get a monthly cycle, there’s a good chance for 3-7 days you’re going to crave/need more calories. Honor the INSANE process your body is going through and have the snack. 7. Hard workout/ busy day means you burnt more energy than normal. If you’re trying to maintain or grow, adding in snacks can actually be beneficial. If you’re trying to lose, be careful. 8. Something delicious is waiting. You’re allowed to eat it. You’re allowed to enjoy it. You’re allow to want to change your body and still enjoy food and your life. It’s up to you to decide when one moment of joy is more important than your overall goal. Only you can decide that. Xox Am - @dancerswholift on Instagram

Alright, secret has been revealed: my day in the life with Instagram 🤪(alongside my fulltime job) ⠀ This is a love-hate relationship. I explored being on Instagram 24/7 VS not being on Instagram at all for a whole weekend & posting everyday to posting every 2 days. How does this effect my engagement? Read on.⠀ ⠀ The myth that I was told was to be on Instagram 24/7 to have the algorithm work. I was told to post every single day at the exact time and follow 20-50 people a day. While these activities show significant results, I’ve learnt that not posting everyday and not following 20-50 people a day also achieve the same results. ⠀ ⠀ Check out my blog (link in bio) to view my whole day to day journey for the past 9 months of having this Instagram account! ⠀ ⠀ 💬 Let me know in the comment what your Instagram routine is!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #foodblogger #foodporn #food #foodie #foodphotography #foodstagram #instafood #foodlover #yummy #foodgasm #delicious #foodies #homemade #foodblog #instagood #healthyfood #foodpics #foodiesofinstagram #tasty #indianfood #dinner #love #pocketiinsights #lunch #foodlovers #foods #breakfast #foodpic #instagram #sydneyfoodblogger - @pocketishop on Instagram
If only, right?? Not so fun fact: because surrogacy is legal in CA, the insurance companies caught on, and put in a new law in 2019/2020 that states that they will not cover ANY part of pregnancy for woman carrying children for others (aka surrogates). So if our surrogate has her own children, she’s covered completely during pregnancy, but since she’s having a baby for us, no coverage. How f***ed is that? So that means more $$ for extra coverage during surrogate pregnancies. I’m grateful it’s legal - but it’s bullshit that insurance used that as a way to NOT cover our child or the pregnancy! And personally, that’s discriminatory. Because I’m physically unable to carry a child to term and have a medical condition (actually multiple), we don’t have coverage during a pregnancy with our child? Not right. And obviously this is a huge battle all throughout infertility. Zero coverage is more common than any coverage and that’s SO wrong! So I’ll be aiming to find new ways to try to get involved to help change this! I know @resolveorg does a fantastic job advocating for new laws and changes, but if anyone has more ideas - I’m open to them! - @wheneverybodymatters on Instagram
Whilst there are a number of factors, one of the most important reasons for drug-resistant bacteria is animal agriculture . WHAT’S THE LINK? . Although some antibiotics are used to treat sick animals, an overwhelming amount is used in healthy animals to prevent infection or speed up growth . In the US more than 70% of antibiotics that are medically important for humans are used in animals (swipe for UK numbers) . In a large review of 139 academic papers, 72% showed evidence of a link between antibiotic consumption in animals and resistance in humans . THE PROBLEM . Overuse of antibiotics in animals is driving drug resistance (a problem already on the rise) and these drug-resistant strains from animals can be passed to humans when they prepare or consume animal products . Some last-resort antibiotics for humans are being used extensively in animals and we have no new antibiotics on our horizon . Around the world, 700, 000 lives are lost each year from antibiotic resistant infections and this number has been projected to reach 10 million by the year 2050 if we do not make changes . PART OF THE SOLUTION . Reducing the over and improper use of antibiotics in food production is key . And of course, you might have guessed that I would suggest shifting towards a whole food plant-based - this will reduce the risk of consuming contaminated foods and reduce the demand for animal products themselves - @drlaurafreeman on Instagram

BENEFITS OF RESISTANCE TRAINING . My talk last night was about the importance of strength and conditioning in rehab. This is an area I’m really interested in for my own strength and rehab but also for my patients. . Most of my patients are gym-goers to a greater or lesser extent so don’t need convincing about the benefits of resistance training but it’s still a helpful reminder for them to discuss the wider benefits which are sometimes missed. This list is a helpful checklist. . Do you recommend resistance training to your patients and if so how have you felt that they benefit? Please leave comments below 👇 - @shoulderdoctor on Instagram

This was a huge piece in my healing journey- understanding my patterns and behaviors. To understand that, I reflected a lot on my parents’ patterns and my family dynamics. It was eye opening to see how much I was unconsciously repeating. • We repeat these patterns unconsciously, and until we choose to heal our past trauma, the patterns get passed down and we continue to suffer. • Ways to change patterns: ✨ Reflect on your family patterns. ✨Self-reflect on your own behaviors and patterns: Are you repeating unhealthy patterns? Can you find new ways to respond? ✨Heal the underlying trauma: Therapy is the best route. Therapy can help you realize you’re worthy of healing. It helps you resolve your unmet needs and trauma . ✨Be patient with yourself.. . . . . . . #browngirltrauma #traumarecovery #traumahealing #dysfunctionalfamily #innerchild #innerchildhealing #boundaries #familyrules #trauma #unhealthyrelationships #familytherapy #selfhealers #toxicparents #toxicrelationships #southasian #southasianmentalhealth #southasiamentalhealth #browngirls #childrenofimmigrants #immigrantparents #mentalhealth #mentalhealthrecovery #selfcare #healthyboundaries #breakthecycle #enmeshment #therapy #desi #therapist #selfhealerscircle - @browngirltrauma on Instagram
Masculine & Feminine We all have masculine and feminine energy in our energy bodies. This energy has nothing to do with gender and both male and female can tap into both essences. The feminine energy is free flowing, playful, intuitive & compassionate while the masculine energy is more predictable, structured, practical & logical. The masculine is the knowledge and the feminine is the knowing. When out of balance we can operate from wounded masculine and wounded feminine. When these energies are in balance we experience a greater sense of harmony & flow in our life 🧡 - @thesoulintuitive on Instagram
Are you following #tired prenatal nutrition advice? 🤰 Science shows that you not only *don’t* need to eat 🥩 for an optimal pregnancy, BUT there are better, more nutritious options to get critical nutrients like iron and protein. —————————————————————— In fact, studies have shown that a high meat intake increases the risk of prenatal complications like gestational diabetes and preeclampsia and children’s risk of high blood pressure and poor stress responsiveness later in life 📈 —————————————————————— Luckily, there are plenty of iron and protein rich foods you can easily incorporate into your prenatal diet - legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and soy foods 👍 Pro-tip: Pair iron-rich plants with a good source of vitamin C 🍋 to increase absorption by 3-6 times, which brings the bioavailability up to the same percent as meat 🙌 #evidencebased #prenatalnutrition #pregnancynutrition #dietitiansofinstagram #dietitianapproved #plantbasedpregnancy - @whitneyerd on Instagram
Microgreens can be added to most of your meals for a little crunch and a boost of nutrition!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When compared to their mature counterparts, microgreens are more nutrient-dense. One study from the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry for example showed that red cabbage microgreens had 40 times more vitamin E and six times more vitamin C than mature red cabbage.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Microgreens have been shown to have more folate, vitamin C, vitamin A, B vitamins, and antioxidants lutein and beta-carotene (especially high in cilantro microgreens).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why does this happen? 🌱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think about how much beautiful energy lives within the tiny sprout and microgreen of a plant as it’s gathering all the food and energy to become its fullest version of itself? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well if you harvest the plant right after germination, all those nutrients the plant needs to grow and become the fullest version of itself are right there and concentrated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Fresh microgreens are best eaten raw to obtain the most nutrients and the flavor is best then. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They’re really delicious in salads, thrown into smoothies, and on sandwiches because they’re much lighter in texture and their flavors mesh really well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can buy microgreens at the farmer’s market or many grocery stores, but if you’re interested in learning how to grow them at home, I have a full article on that on the blog for you! Simply search for “sprouting” and you’ll find it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you currently use microgreens weekly? If not, do you want to give them a try now? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nutritionmatters #nutrition #nutritiontips #foodmatters #eatmoreplants #eatmoregreens #stayhealthy #healthyhappylife #healthyeating #mindbodygram #wellnesscoach #dietitian #kitchengarden - @nutritionstripped on Instagram
Positive psychology and research on self-talk shows that our self-esteem can be impacted by the way we talk to ourselves. Dr. Edward Deci and Dr. Richard Ryan developed the self-determination theory. In this theory, the authors suggest that when self-talk is supportive, it can have positive effects on our motivation, emotions, and behaviours. The way you talk to yourself matters. Unfortunately, a lot of the internal dialogue we have with ourselves can be quite negative. THat is where our inner critic comes from. Sometimes the self talk we develop can come from experiences we have had in our early years, or things we were repeatedly told during childhood. Ask yourself, would you talk to yourself the way you talk to a friend? Why do we talk to ourselves the way we do? It is time to change this and be nicer to ourselves. We deserve patience, encouragement, and compassion just as much as the people we love. At first, it may be hard and feel unnatural to talk nicely to ourselves. Old habits can die hard. However, over time, as we practice changing the way we talk to ourselves, positive self talk will be easier and easier. What is something positive you can say to yourself today?

You know all too well about the symptoms of PCOS, as well as the link between PCOS and diabetes. But there’s one condition you rarely hear about … fatty liver. ⠀ ⠀ It’s estimated that 15% to 55% of women with PCOS have fatty liver disease. The good news is that there is a lot you can do to prevent getting it or to reverse it.⠀ ⠀ Fatty liver = accumulation of fat stored in your liver. The liver can’t perform it’s 500+ roles in the body was well when it’s fatty. Fatty liver can also lead to Nonalconolic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), potentially damaging your liver. ⠀ ⠀ Here are some facts :⠀ ⠀ 👉Although the exact causes of NAFLD are unclear, there are some major risk factors: insulin resistance, obesity, high cholesterol, and PCOS⠀ 👉Women with PCOS have 2.5 the incidence of NAFLD compared to women without PCOS.⠀ 👉There are usually no symptoms with NALFD.⠀ 👉Fatty liver can be diagnosed by my your doctor with a physical exam, blood tests, and imaging tests. Make sure your doctor is screening you⠀ 👉Healthy diet, exercise and some weight loss can improve/reverse fatty liver ⠀ 👉Be kind to your liver! ⠀ ⠀ FYI: having fatty liver doesnt mean you a big drinker (alcohol) either! This is a common misconception. ⠀ ⠀ 👀 Read my blog post on PCOS & Fatty Liver (includes references). LINK IN BIO⠀ ⠀ 👇Have you been diagnosed with fatty liver? - @the.pcos.dietitian on Instagram

LET’S TALK ABOUT 💩 BABY Sorry not sorry for bringing up a topic that is applicable to literally EVERYONE ON PLANET EARTH. Did you know IBS is TWO-THREE times more common in women than in men? Yup. 🙄 IBS is sometimes a label we get slapped with when they can’t figure out what’s really wrong with our digestion. Regardless, there are many things we can do on our end to prevent flare ups and take better care of our little tum tums 🙌 MY TOP GUT HEALTH TIPS: 🚩MIX UP YOUR DIET: Do you tend to eat the same things often? Yeah, that’s gonna be a “nah” for your gut, bro. See, your gut bacteria thrive off diversity and want to munch on allllll different kinds of things. So, make sure you’re getting in a wide variety of different foods all the time 🚩ALL HAIL FIBER: The average American’s fiber intake is pitifully low. How’s yours, eh?! I recommend doing a little tracking on the app My Fitness Pal and see where you end up after a few days. I recommend at least 35 grams of the good stuff PER DAY 🚩PROBIOTIC POWER: Probiotics are powerhouses when it comes to your digestion! A little goes a long way, so don’t think you have to go swimming a bowl of kimchi. Although that sounds kinda 💣...anyway, add in some probiotic-rich foods ERREDAY for best results There ya have it— happy Monday & cheers to better 💩 my loves. What about you?!

Were talking hugs today - and why our emotional health isnt the only one feeling the negative effects of isolation, but our gut health too! 😭 According to gut health expert and naturopath, Fin MacKenzie our increased time spent at home and our physical distance from others has reduced the diversity in our gut flora (the diversity that normally comes with exposure to other people and places - and through hugging our loved ones). And with the feel-good hormones that flood our bodies after we hug others now also missing, its having a negative impact on both our immune system and our gut health. So what can we do to support our gut, and by extension, our overall health? Load up on lots of colourful fruits and veggies, chow down on fermented foods and make sure youre eating a good dose of prebiotic fibres every day.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR CHILD IS SAD: Is it okay for your child to be sad? Be honest. Are your comfortable with your child’s sad feelings? Many of us are not. It dredges up a whole lot of muck for us as parents. Fear, Exhaustion, Guilt, Worry…. What do we do? We either offer a quick fix or SHUT IT DOWN. Listen to me, we’ve all done it- we’ve all said “You’re ok! Don’t cry.” I get it. Honestly? Sometimes I catch myself still doing it. Sad feelings are HARD, especially when we are already weighed down by our own. This post is meant to help you think about your reaction to sad feelings, not turn you into a scripted robot who needs to always say the right thing. You are human, there’s no way you’ll always say and do the “right” thing. Also? Your child will most likely NOT tell you they are sad with verbal language. They will likely show you they are sad with behavior, body language, and facial cues. The goal is to eventually be able to talk about being sad, but that takes long term acceptance and support. Try swapping out some language and see what happens. Let’s teach our children to accept themselves, including ALL of their feelings. The world will become a better place because of it.

people! we need to stop believing the narrative that slim = healthy and fat = unhealthy. i know it’s hard to accept after years of diet culture bullshit being shoved down your throat, but it’s simply not true – you cannot tell how healthy or unhealthy a person is just by looking at them 🤷🏻♀️ i’ve had a few comments/messages lately from people expressing their ‘concern’ for my health, suggesting that it’s impossible for someone in a body like mine to be healthy. well, take it from me – my lifestyle now, compared with a few years ago when i was deeply invested in my ‘slimming world journey’, is far healthier for me – both mentally and physically 💕 sure, some people might not be able to live a healthy lifestyle in a body like mine, but does that account for everybody? no, it doesn’t. and does your concern involve their mental health too? no, it doesn’t. lots of people have health issues (like cancer patients and disabled people, for example) – does that make them any less worthy? no, it doesn’t. and does anyone else’s health concern you in the slightest anyway? no, it absolutely fucking doesn’t. ✌🏻 - @aspoonfulofalice on Instagram

One of my many passions in life is being as eco-friendly as possible so I’m always trying to find new ways to reduce waste in my personal life and in my business! I want to start sharing some of the things I do to be more sustainable while doing makeup. ✨♻️ Up first we have disposable mascara wands! If I am using a disposable wand I try to limit to using 1 per client. If I were to use 2-4 per client and I had a bridal party of 8, that would be up to 32 plastic wands going to waste from just ONE job! Another alternative that I love is using a mascara fan brush from @bdelliumtools. No matter what method you choose to apply mascara make sure you are NEVER double dipping into the mascara tube with a used wand! That mascara tube would then be contaminated and must be thrown away. If you are taking steps in your makeup application to be more sustainable, you must make sure that you are still remaining hygienic! That always has to be the number one focus!✅ Comment any eco-friendly tips that you have down below! - @kristenfiori on Instagram
The in between phase can feel awful. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The exhaustion from staying in something that’s not satisfying is completely depleting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Am I going to take the leap? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Start the business? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Write the book? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ask him/her out? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ End the marriage? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Launch the course? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You know it’s not meant to be, but keep hoping it’ll change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You know the answer deep down already, but keep hesitating and saying you don’t. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You know that it’s not the right thing for you - but you’re not ready to walk away. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybe it’ll change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybe they’ll come around and finally see the real you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But here’s the thing - the hesitation is also an answer. The doubt is NOT a full body yes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A full body yes isn’t necessarily loud - but it’s also not filled with hesitation and maybes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What’s a full body yes? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s a tingle, a shiver. It’s a pull, an open and expansive feeling. It’s your body whispering “yes” through sensation. It’s your body saying yes to something in life and your mind not being able to make sense of it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When your mind can’t make sense of it - it’s easy to doubt. It easy to think, nah - that seems crazy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But here’s the thing - the yes you can’t make sense of? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s your soul trying to show you the way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want a more authentic life - just be brave enough to trust the full body yes and willing to go after whatever it is when you feel it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Capiche? 👍 And that’s not even the best part. The best part? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When you make yourself happy first, you spread that energy everywhere you go and lift up others too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Win, win! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - @taylorkhoury on Instagram
Mama, I was so excited yesterday to team up with Lindsey @lactationlink to share our knowledge and resources. Starting your breastfeeding off right is critical. It begins in the labor room and its too important to wing it. Head to my bio for a link for important FREE breastfeeding classes. 👉🏻Hey! Im Trish❤️ , or @labor.nurse.mama Loving Your Labor Academy is opening in OCTOBER 2, link in BIO👩⚕️ I have a great post on labornursemama.com that is full of info. Check that out. Ill link in my stories. Your little one is born ready to use every sense to begin their breastfeeding journey. Guess what? Those senses all center around MAMA! Knowing how they use their senses and how best to support them during the first few days after birth is a solid foundation. A solid breastfeeding journey begins with education. Breastfeeding does not always come easy. In fact it can be downright frustrating. My main tips for your first days of feeding are below: 1. Be patient. 2. Immediate skin to skin 3. Keep baby skin to skin for 1000 hours. 4. Do not bathe baby. 5. Stay Hydrated. 6. Feed on demand. (learn the feeding cues) 7. Be firm with your breastfeeding plan. Comment below with your breastfeeding plan! * * * * * #breastfeedingmama #breastfeedingmum #breastfeedingjourney #boobiebaby #milkybaby #breastfeedwithoutfear #fedisbest #breastfeedingmoms #liquidgold #breastmilk #healthypregnancy #firsttimemom #preggie #breastfeedingmom #breastisbest #breastpump #breastfedbaby #breastfeed #boob #labornursemama #thehabibihouse - @labor.nurse.mama on Instagram

Happy Monday friends! . I thought I would leave a little bit of Monday motivation here. . Having a hard time getting started on something is pretty common- especially amongst those who tend towards perfectionism. . There is so much that goes into this avoidance, and it’s often multifaceted and complex. . Recognizing we tend to push things off and have a difficult time getting going is the first step. Here are some ideas of what you might want to try to get yourself unstuck. . This comes up in so many different venues- in work, exercise, and even leisure activities. . What do you do to help yourself get going? (Besides coffee? 🙃😉) . Wishing you a wonderful week ahead! . 🌸🌸🌸🌸 - @dr.leahkatz on Instagram
It’s okay to not want to have children. It’s okay to want children. It’s okay to not know. It’s okay to change your mind. It’s okay to only want/ have one child. If you are struggling with infertility or don’t want to have kids, you also have a right to not have people ask you all the time! Normalize different people wanting and having different things!

Do you ever feel bad for what you didn’t know? 😫 As I get farther on my sustainability journey, I sometimes feel really guilty for what I didn’t know before 📚 Thinking about all of the plastic coffee pods, food packaging, and excess makeup that I have sent to spend basically forever sitting in a landfill makes me feel terrible 🗑 “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better” - Maya Angelou 💚 I have had to remind myself of this saying over and over again 🌱 We are not responsible for what we didn’t know, however now that we do know, we are ✨ Beating ourselves up for what we didn’t know won’t accomplish anything. We can’t go back in time, only forward 🗓 However, once you know that there is a better way, it is up to you to adapt to that ♻️ I know that there is still so much I still don’t know! 🧠 I’m sure that I will look back at myself now in a year and think “ugh I should have been doing more or doing things differently” 🤦♀️ If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. And while we wish that everyone was doing it, it’s still up to us to share how to do better so that others know better too! ✏️ It’s amazing that there are so many resources that we have to learn from, so that we can constantly be doing better 🌎 Do you feel bad for what you didn’t know, and are you happy that you know better now? ♻️💚🌱 . . . #lowwastelifestyle #reducingwaste #experiencematters #ecoblog #zerowastejourney #wastefreeplanet #ethicalconsumer #zerowastemovement #minimalwaste #consciousconsumerism #lowwaste #ecoconscious #ecochic #sustainablelife #saynotosingleuse #dobetterbebetter #mayaangelouquotes #ecoinspiration - @eventfullyeco on Instagram
You’d think in the year 2020, this would be a given, but apparently it’s not. I heard someone say this word in a social setting recently and boy was I not ready for it. I was shocked. I was uncomfortable. And I was saddened, too. Does this person mean someone like my son? Or like my Aunt? Find 👏 a 👏 different 👏 word 👏 people. Ridiculous, silly, unbelievable, “they’re so ____” fill in the blank with any other word! Please. You don’t know how much hearing that word used negatively affects special needs families like mine. These are our kids, and they are not any less than because you are uneducated. So here’s your friendly reminder; the r word is offensive and is not okay to use. ✌️🙏 - wisdom by @storyofnoahism - @ablefinder on Instagram
KNOW YOUR VITAMINS ⚡️ Save this post and tag your friends 🤙🏼 Vitamins can be grouped into 2 categories: 1️⃣ Water soluble 2️⃣ Fat soluble Water soluble vitamins include vitamins B & C. They dissolve in water and are aren’t stored in your body, so you need to get them daily from the food you eat. If you consume excess water soluble vitamins - e.g. through a vitamin table, multivitamin or other supplement - you just pee out the excess...aka expensive yellow pee😬. Fat soluble vitamins include Vitamins A, D, E & K. They dissolve in fats and oils and are stored in your body. For this reason, if you consume excess - e.g. through a vitamin table or supplement - they can actually build up to dangerous toxic levels in your body. There is absolutely a place for vitamin tablets and supplements, but there needs to be a reason for them e.g. you have a deficiency / absorption issue and your health care professional recommended it, not because your favourite fit-influencer made their own range of supplements and says you need it. Just saying! ✌🏼 #vitamins #dietitian #dietitianday #vitaminc #vitaminb #bvitamins #vitamind #sunshine #plantbased #eatmoreplants #plantfoods #nutrition - @nourish_naturally on Instagram

Sometimes we do really special things for our children only to be disappointed by their reaction. Why is this? It is likely because our definition of special is unique and different from our children’s version of it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You may have wanted treats, ice cream dates, museum visits and shows as a child. As an adult it is only natural to want to give these things to your child right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remember, your child is not you. They may not want the things that you did as a child and that is perfectly ok. Remember to check in and be attuned to the things your child finds special. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Has this happened to you before? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #parenting #parents #mindfulparenting #consciousparenting #families #gentleparenting #respectfulparenting #gottman #parentingtips #parentingmeme #parent #parenting101 #childhood #innerchild #innerchildwork #parentsofinstagram #gottmanmethod #innerchildhealing #reparenting #rmotherhoodunplugged #relationship #momlife #maternalmentalhealth #familylife #relationships #relationship #children #family #mentalhealth #emotions - @drallisonmarkmiami on Instagram
NO HAY SALUD FÍSICA SIN SALUD MENTAL - - La OMS define la salud como un estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y social; y no solamente la ausencia de afecciones o enfermedades💚. Por tanto, la salud va más allá de tener las analíticas “en rango”, perfectas o un estado físico espectacular. Se necesita algo más que eso. - Pero ¿el qué? Como dice la OMS, la salud mental y social son también aspectos que considerar y que generalmente se pasan por alto a distintos niveles. - Esto serviría para entender que, por ejemplo, no todo sirve, ni todos los medios son válidos para alcanzar objetivos como los de perder peso o mejorar la composición corporal. - En cuanto a la salud mental y, más en concreto, los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria son problemas que están creciendo a ritmos bastante acelerados en las sociedades occidentales en todos los grupos de edad; aunque especial y tristemente en grupos de altísima vulnerabilidad como adolescentes e incluso niños. - Muchos son los aspectos que pueden motivar e incentivar, en primer lugar, el descontento con el propio estado físico y, en segundo lugar, la obsesión por la pérdida de peso, la comparación social, frustraciones, etc. Esta “preocupación” por la delgadez y su vinculación con la autoestima puede ser el principal origen de distintos problemas que lógicamente alejan a quien los sufre de lo que entendemos y pretendemos divulgar como salud plena. - Sin embargo, el problema no solo se vincula con la búsqueda de delgadez. La dismorfia muscular (creencia de tener una musculatura insuficiente) e insatisfacción generada por ello, es también una afectación que parece encontrarse en aumento en las sociedades occidentales. - Todos estos problemas tienden a estar vinculados con una angustia severa que suelen ir acompañado de conductas de riesgo que también comprometen la salud física y el bienestar. - En definitiva, no se puede separar el cuerpo de la mente y ambos del entorno en la ecuación de la salud. Frente a esto, solo nos quedará seguir luchando contra aquellos que traten de separar estos conceptos debido a distintos intereses. Un número, una cifra e incluso un diagnóstico no te define, clasifica o “etiqueta”. - @academia.realfooding on Instagram

Ever thought about what’s going on with your spine while you’re lashing? If youve started to creak and pop 🤪, then Im sure you have! On the left you can see the default position for most of us. According to US orthopaedic surgeon J.J. Keegan, the position shown on the right is one that allows for the normal curvature of the spine. In Keegan’s study, the 135 degree angle of the torso to the thighs causes the least strain on the lumbar spine. I am not a doctor but I do know that switching to this position has allowed me to avoid serious body pain and injury! What chairs allow for this position? The exercise ball, the kneeling chair or saddle stool are all great options. When we sit in the position on the right, our hip joints are in resting position, the pelvis is neutral and the S curve of the spine can be maintained. Our feet are positioned beneath us giving us balance and control. The stable lower body allows for an active upper body. We are also able to maintain a straight back while leaning forward.

“Never nurse your baby to sleep, that’s all he’ll know and won’t sleep unless he’s being nursed.” “If you hold your baby too much, you’ll teach her that she needs to be held all the time.” “If you offer your baby a pacifier, it’ll be impossible to get rid of it.” “You’re going to ruin your child if you use sleep training methods.” “Start potty training as early as you can, it’ll be so much harder when they get older.” “Whatever you do, don’t let him fall asleep in your bed.” “You need to let someone else feed her with a bottle, you can’t be the one to do it.” I’m here to tell you YOU DO YOU MAMA. Becoming a mother is accompanied by A LOT of comments, some incredibly supportive, others not at all.

A friend shared this with me recently and then earlier today I was disrespected by a mediocre white man in a professional context. . I don’t have any wise words on how to navigate holding space for strong convictions while also pursuing humility other than to say: keep going, reach out to those you respect for advice/support, and when you need a little boost, channel the damn confidence of a mediocre white man. You might even have more to be confident about than he does ✌🏼 - @tayloreckel.dpt on Instagram
🙏🏼Ooooosh man I have a lot of thoughts on this one. Two of my favorite quotes immediately come to mind; “Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die” a la Le Buddha himself and “Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world” by a zillion philosophers. Pause and think on that for a moment 🤔. Now, as an exercise, describe to your outside world. How do you see life? Is it happening to you or for you? Do you see people as primarily good or not to be trusted, ready to let you down again and not safe to get close to? Because chances are, if you have conflict, struggle, hate, anger, depression, and fear dominating the inside of you, you will 💯 find that it will manifest and become part of your outside world as well and everything will seem hopeless, frustrating and unfair. These emotions often point to where healing needs to happen, and in my experience from both living AND treating, usually that healing needs to be a 360deg experience of body, mind & soul✨. Utilizing tools like talk therapy, Acupuncture, journalling, meditation, enrolling in seminars/online learning platforms to dig into issues around vulnerability, fear, self worth and other root causes of these dysfunctional behaviors are great steps in your healing journey. Need resources? Ask friends or mentors for recommendations of healers they trust. And most importantly try, try and try again because the healing work is never complete, we weren’t made for perfection. The happiest, brightest, most fulfilled people I know are the ones who have an undying commitment to growth. Invest in yourself, invest in your health and watch your life transform 🙏🏼✨🌙💕 - @theacuchick on Instagram

I know I’ve been pretty quiet lately. I took some time off to prioritize my mental health after sinking into a lot of negativity & self-doubt. Imposter syndrome is exhausting! Anyhow, I’m feeling more clear-headed now, and wanted to create something positive out of the hostile interactions I’ve been part of recently because I’ve learned a lot from them. My 3 major takeaways: 1. Many people, myself included, reach for manipulative forms of communication when there are underlying feelings of pain, fear, and shame. I believe this is because we are not taught productive ways of managing these feelings, as much of our society is predicated on ignoring, diminishing & demonizing any emotions viewed as antithetical to the American notion of “strength”. 2. Much of manipulative communication is based on the transference of responsibility — that the recipient “should” carry the weight of the attacker’s feelings & personal situation. Unfortunately, dissecting & stopping this often requires the recipient to take on undue labor of educating the attacker (not their responsibility), which makes the interactions extra exhausting & harmful. 3. The fervor & consistency of receiving manipulative communication is absolutely correlated with the stereotypes & expectations associated with the recipient’s intersectional identities. (Relatedly, the ardent dismissal of those identities being a factor is VERY telling.) While the point of this post is to identify & examine harmful behavior, I want to say it’s important to also hold space for change & growth. I know I can be simultaneously guilty of exhibiting problematic behavior while being on the receiving end of a lot of vitriol, as an Asian woman in an industry heavily reliant on machismo and anti-intellectualism. Rejecting manipulative behavior also requires us to hold ourselves accountable for continually analyzing how (and why) we interact with others, so we are not also lured into enacting harm. Note: There are many faces of each of these manipulative behaviors, and they present differently across different relationships. This post specifically addresses them in the context of online communication. - @chefjennydorsey on Instagram
Hi, I’m Dr. Sandra! 👋🏼 Follow @the.mommy.psychologist for more posts on moms mental health 💞 . We talk a lot about mom on here but it’s important we don’t forget about dads and partners! Did you know 1 in 10 partners will experience Postpartum Depression (PPD) within the first year postpartum? We just don’t hear much about it because society says men are supposed to be strong 💪, they’re not supposed to cry, and they “shouldn’t” be so emotional. Geez, what a world we live in 😒 Believe it or not but men are human too! They will most likely have challenges in the prenatal and postpartum period, just like us WOMEN! And that’s okay 💕 With help, they too will get through it. . Some risk factors that can affect the development of depression in men: 🔹Feeling trapped or missing their “old life”. 🔹Burdened or overwhelmed by financial responsibility. 🔹Witnessing their partner go through depression. 🔹Difficulty bonding with baby. 🔹Missing sexual relationship with partner after baby (and sometimes during pregnancy). 🔹Exhausted and sleep deprived. 🔹Receiving less attention. 🔹Feeling isolated from partner and friends. . What to do? ✨Talk therapy. Reach out to a mental health professional and set up an appointment. ✨Join a men’s PPD support group. Visit www.postpartummen.com for additional resources and stories of other men going through PPD as well. ✨Eat better, exercise, and take care of YOU. ✨ Call PSI’s (Postpartum Support International) helpline at 1-800-944-4773 for support and resources. . . . .

Happy Monday! Let’s talk about anxiety ⚡️ What isn’t talked about enough is that just as any other symptom or health related issue that arises, with anxiety our body is speaking to us. Whether your anxiety is brought on by specific stressors or seems to be non specific and ever present, there is a health picture painted inside your body and accompanied by other symptoms. There is ALWAYS a root cause. This is not everything but a great deal of the root causes (likely a combination of what is listed above) contributing to your experience of magnified and prolonged anxiety that doesn’t seem to end or be alleviated. I went through a whole host of prescription anxiety medications when I was a kid and to no avail did they “heal me”. My pediatrician never spoke about things as these root causes. I always felt there was something inherently wrong with me which I know our health care system has a habit of doing to many of us! And let me tell you this is simply not the case... you are a beautiful and extraordinary human and it is your INHERENT RIGHT to feel healthy and achieve the picture of health you desire. Once I learned to HEAL the root causes of my symptoms, I feel like a million bucks. While working on all of these things, I woke up one day and the anxiety just seemed to disappear. Remember though it is not that simple and this is a healing PROCESS. What I can tell you is that there are so many little things in your life that may seem minuscule that are definitely contributing to your anxiety. Overall four major things are true in terms of lessons we can learn from the body when it comes to anxiety... 🤍The body is experiencing inflammation in some way shape or form somewhere or everywhere. 🤍The body is deficient in proper sleep, various nutrients and minerals. (If you want to learn something really cool and important google the “glymphatic system” newer research your brain’s way of clearing out toxins during sleep and highly connected to disease pathology) 🤍The body is stressed and overstimulated due to routine or major life stressors. 🤍The gut, endocrine system, or any other major organ or organ system is disrupted. - @theholistic.honey on Instagram

Growing up, we were told painful periods were normal and every period product commercial showed womxn ignoring their pain and flow and grinning (and bearing it?). We honestly thought that POWERING THROUGH a period was the way STRONG womxn did it. It never occurred to us that we didnt have to hate our bodies for our painful periods (and endometriosis), and that we didnt have to FIGHT what we were feeling and push through the pain. We hope by normalizing conversations around periods and period pain, it wont be something to be ashamed of, ignored or made more palatable. And then, maybe, periods will finally get the amount of attention they deserve by big pharma and the health and medical industries. #periodpain #adenomyosis #endometriosis #painfulperiods #pelvicpain #menstrualcycle #menstruation #periodproblems #periodinflammation #periodsupplement #periodpositive #periodcramps #plantbased #sciencebacked #vegan #plantbasedhealth #antiinflammatory #lowinflammation #pelvicpain - @semainehealth on Instagram

Double tap if you agree 🔥 🔥 . Start today,,, work today,, work like there no tommorow.. . After realizing that we are not where we want to be in our lives, doing something about it tends to become an idea that is rarely followed up with action. Once we get caught up in a routine – whether we view it as a safety net or a rut – it is easy to keep going through the motions. Sure, we may daydream about what more we can do, or we end up moping about how we allowed our lives to become so monotonous. Either way, we stagnate. We remain still. We throw pity party after pity party for ourselves that no one would show up to even if we bothered to send out invitations. We do nothing and accept that this is our life now. That alone is why starting is the biggest step we could take. The idea of doing something – anything – to improve our lives is better than sitting back, doing nothing, and being bitter about it. Even if it is as simple as altering the routine to incorporate more vegetables or as drastic as deciding on a new career, it is a new beginning. . . #buisnesstips #buisnessideas #motivational #successfulliving #successdiaries #entrepreneurquotes #entrepreneurjourney #billionaires #billionairelifestyle #billionairemindset #buissnesswoman #buisness #successmindset #sucessoprofissional #moneymaker #inspirationalquotes #inspiration . . .

Hey pandemic parents! Do you feel like you’re not doing enough to prepare your child for life? “Childhood is not a race to see how quickly a child can read, write and count. It is a small window of time to learn and develop at the pace that is right for each individual child. Earlier is not better.” I love this saying by Magda Gerber. It’s a nice reminder that children, primarily babies, toddlers, and preschoolers, do not need much apart from what often comes readily available through life. We can get caught up in the race to get our children ready for adulthood and miss the importance and beauty of childhood. Childhood is preparation for adulthood. Shared a few things our families can always have more of and ways to bring back childhood. 💫 Is there anything you’d add? Please share below. P.S. these apply to adults too. 😊😉 #aconsciousfamily - @conscious.parents on Instagram

raise your hand if you think insta is tryna win a game of “try to make growing your acc as HARD as possible” ✋. i think we can all collectively agree the new algorithm suckssss butt. i spent 2 weeks creating this detailed infographic for keeping it real on insta! - i’ve gathered a lot of insight from my time away from insta. the reason, as many of you know already, is because i felt extremely demotivated seeing my engagement drop by 90%. it was demotivating to see - when you feel you’re putting effort into your content, & you feel it gets better by the day...but insta doesn’t honor your work, it can be a defeating feeling. trust me, i experienced it firsthand a couple of weeks ago that left me burnt out. i took a step back & reflected. - it’s hard to come across authenticity on this platform where people are desperately seeking for growth. i’m gonna be honest & say i’ve done some of the “don’ts” too, & i deeply regret it. i haven’t done any of that these past few months & honestly i just wanna take a moment and be proud of myself for growing my following w little shoutouts, little shares/saves, & just not enough visibility. i encourage you to celebrate where you are too bc I AM PROUD OF YOU! this isn’t easy! w this new algorithm, i encourage you to really take time to get to know the people behind the screens (& ofc save/share/comment). - remember that at the end of the day, numbers really do NOT matter. if your fous is just on growing, maybe reevaluate your intention. the purpose is to share content & connect w people that bring you joy ❤️! i hope this post helps you out 😊 - @beettheprocrastination on Instagram
A hysteroscopy is an examination of the inside of the uterus (womb) using a fine telescope inserted via the vagina and opening of the uterus (cervix). Using water, the telescope passes through the birth canal and into the womb. The inside of the womb can then be seen and assessed in terms of its shape, the lining (endometrium) & for focal lesions (polyps, fibroids, septa, adhesions). A small biopsy (removal of cells from the endometrium – lining of the womb) is often done at the end of the procedure to allow further analysis under a microscope. The examination is usually recommended for women who are experiencing certain gynaecological symptoms such as: • Irregular or heavy periods • Bleeding between periods or post-menopausal bleeding • Fibroids • Unusual vaginal discharge • Repeated miscarriages • Problems with fertility • To insert or remove coils 🏥It can be performed as an outpatient or as a day case procedure under general anaesthetic. It is a very safe procedure with low risk of complications. The most common side effects are discomfort (similar to period pain), feeling faint (outpatient only) & bleeding. However if you develop a temperature, increased pain, increased discharge which is smelly & unpleasant or heavy bleeding, you should seek medical advice. How quickly can I return to normal routine? Following an outpatient hysteroscopy, you could return to work the same day although it wouldn’t be unreasonable to take the day off. If performed under general anaesthesia you should take the day of the procedure and following day off work (you will also need someone to drive you home due to the anaesthesia). Sport and/or sexual intercourse can resume the day after the procedure. Are there any alternatives to hysteroscopy?

I’m NOT Sorry I’m done saying sorry. I’m not “just” doing anything I’m unapologetically and authentically me. Women tend to apologize more compared to their male counterparts. This is an actual fact. And the reason why? Because we have a lower threshold of what we think requires an apology. We tend to apologize because of socially ingrained people pleasing behavior We have a fear of not being liked or being offensive. And then we excessively apologize. Apologizing when it’s warranted is important but compulsively apologizing limits your credibility and holds you back professionally.

What has been your worst dieting experience? 👇🏽👇🏿Leave me a comment and let me know!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you try a new diet then theres a 90%ish percent chance that its not going to work for you long-term. This is NOT your fault. Our bodies are not meant to diet and they will let us know when theyre not getting what they need.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Dieting is associated with worsening insulin resistance, higher A1c, increased inflammation and an increase in anxiety and depression 😳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know it can feel scary to let go of all of the idea that you need to follow a diet to improve your PCOS. I would encourage you to evaluate how dieting has improved your PCOS long-term. 🤔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The approach I use with clients is called gentle nutrition. 🍎 This means incorporating nutrition principles that are relevant to YOU and your specific PCOS and adjusting them based off of how your body responds. When nutrition changes feel good to you and youre still eating the foods you enjoy, you dont have to worry about falling off the wagon or feeling ashamed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know having PCOS is confusing 😭 I can help you improve hormone balance and insulin resistance without dieting so that you can feel amazing each day! 🎉 Apply to my group coaching program using the link in my profile.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #pcos #pcosdiet #pcosawareness #pcosfighter #pcoslife #pcossucks #pcosnutrition #pcosjourney #pcosweightloss #cyster #cysters #pcoswarrior #clt #cltnc #charlottenc #haes #bodyacceptance #bodyrespect #bodyneautrality #foodfreedom #intuitiveeating #intuitiveeatingjourney #emotionaleating #nofoodrules #antidiet #screwthescale #bingeeatingrecovery #selfcompassion #nomorediets #healthateverysize - @pcos.nutritionist on Instagram

Are you in need of some snack ideas? Follow @davidclearyveganpt for more daily content like this 🌱⠀ ⠀ Have you ever been told that snacking is bad for you? Snacking makes you put on weight? Well, I’m here to dispel those myths. Effective and nutritious snacks can massively help you on your way to achieving your goals. To satisfy ourselves throughout the day and to maintain good energy levels we need snacks that can achieve this. Snacks can be sweet or savoury, the choice is yours but make sure that they are as unprocessed as possible 👌 Snacks can be calories dense to help weight gain, but they can also be fairly low in calories to help us on a weight loss journey. ⠀ 👉So here are a few examples:⠀ I love dark chocolate, dates + nut butter and energy balls. These sweet snacks are quite calorie-dense and are fantastic options for those of you looking to gain some weight/build muscle💪💪 Similarly, nuts are also calorie-dense and like the above, a great option for weight gain. Perhaps two options that people don’t always think about are roasted chickpeas and kale chips. Two nutritious powerhouses, they cannot be overlooked. Both are so easy to make. Add some spices, a bit of salt and a tiny bit of oil if you like. Roast in the oven until crispy. What snack will you try? Are there any on the list that I should add next time?

The issues with counting calories? Our calorie needs vary from day-to-day. It can cause stress and stress can trigger gut issues. The FDA allows calories on food labels to be off by 20% Low calorie snacks are typically filled with poor ingredients which can hinder gut healing. Focus on your plant intake 💚🌱 Our modern diet and lifestyle have reduced the diversity of the gut microbiome. This has happened due to highly processed foods, antibiotics, less food diversity and less dirt for us to play in. 🧬 Science shows our ancestors had much more diversity within their gut microbiome. The average modern diet consumes approximately 20 different types of foods annually. This is not enough diversity for our microbiome. 🌱 Increasing the diversity in your diet, will increase the resilience and diversity of your gut microbiome especially with plants and fermented foods. 💪 The foods we eat don’t just nourish us, they nourish our microbes too! 🦠 If you want to increase the diversity within your diet, make a fun challenge for you and your family to eat the rainbow to nourish the gut. 🌈 🍏🍌🍓🍍🥥🥑🍠🥦🥕🥒🥬 Let me know in the comments how diverse is your diet? 👇🏻 . . . . . #foodfreedom #dietculturedropout #womenempoweringwomen #foodfreedomforever #guthealth #celiacdisease #leakygut #plantdiversity #gutmicrobiome #gutbrainconnection #celiacproblems #ibsproblems #autoimmunedisease #autoimmunediseases #aip #guthealthcoach #bloating #constipation #guthealthy #guthealthmatters #guthealing #gutfriendly #gutfeeling #celiac #gutbrainaxis #gutbacteria #gutflora #healthygut #leakygut #happygut - @reclaimedhealthjayde on Instagram
How is the holiday outfit shopping going, my dear? . . Its that time of year, where I feel like I need to post this again because I know there is someone who needs to hear this right now. Growing up my shopping experience went something like this👇 - Finds a pretty skirt - Buys it in a size that fits but is also tight - Uses it as motivation to lose 10 pounds and fit into it - Holiday comes. Weight was not lost. Doesnt fit into skirt comfortably😣 - Feels self conscious in skirt. Feels horrible about self😥 Distracted form being fully present and enjoying holiday to fullest potential. Can you relate🙋♀️? You cant be fully present or feel good about yourself🚫 if you are wearing clothes that are uncomfortable. This year, choose to treat yourself with kindness and self care and buy clothes that fit your here and now body🙏🏻. You deserve to feel good in every size whether your body will change in the future or not💃. Stop living for a month form now or year from now. Live comfortably NOW💯! That being said - I know that not all stores are size inclusive and I believe everyone deserves to find clothes they like and are comfortable for their body size. Please remember: the fact that stores choose not to be inclusive of ALL sizes does mean your body is the problem! Clothes should fit your body, not the other way around. . . . Thankfully there are brands that understand bodies come in sizes that go past a size 16, here are a few size inclusive brands to check out 🙌👇 @esteezonline @mimumaxi @impact.fashion.nyc @beauti_fullboutique @eloquii @yonanewyork @eshakti @d___rama What mindset do you shop with for holidays🤔? - @dietitian.rachelgoodman on Instagram

Hi, I’m Siggie Cohen @dr.siggie and I help parents feel more empowered and less guilty. . Children are… emotional beings :) They are impulsive, reactive and yes, highly emotional. This is largely because the portion of their brain (prefrontal cortex) that controls their higher reasoning functions such as impulse control, emotional regulation, decision making, attention span, etc. is not yet fully developed. So, instead of relying on logic and rationale when speaking to your child, speak to them in a language they can understand - the language of emotions. Here is how: ➡️ Your child: “Can I have that toy? Please! Please!” ➡️➡️ Instead of: “You have so many toys at home… I just bought you something yesterday.” ➡️➡️➡️ Try: “Yeah, that toy seems fun. But no, we’re not getting a toy today. I can see you’re disappointed, I’m sorry.” ➡️ Instead of: “Come on, let’s go. We’re late. Can’t be late.” ➡️➡️ Try: “Right now it’s time to go. I’m going to pick you up or you can walk on your own. Up to you. You can be mad in the car, that’s ok. But, it’s time to go.” ➡️ Instead of: “Why are you crying? You’ll see your friend again in a couple days.” ➡️➡️ Try: “You’re having so much fun here, I can see that. You might be sad, but it’s time to go home now. You can be sad, that’s ok. We will see your friend again soon. What toy should we bring over the next time we come?” Think of it this way. If at any time you find yourself trying to reason with, bargain, or “sell” your child on something... pause, and think to yourself, what is the underlying emotion that’s getting triggered in my child? And then, speak directly to that. . Try it! And let me know how it goes. .

Now that it’s officially fall, here are some important things to keep in mind this season. - @crisistextline on Instagram
❕Whether we recognize it or not, diet culture and weight stigma surrounds us❕ ▶️ One aspect of diet culture and weight stigma is associating body size with health and idealizing thin bodies ▶️ This connects to complimenting people on aspects that aren’t necessarily connected to their health and may not even be controllable, such as weight loss or their physical appearance When we compliment weight loss or physical appearance we’re contributing to biases related to weight and may reinforce: 🍽 Unsustainable eating habits 🏃♀️Excessive exercise 🔁Disordered eating patterns 🧍♀️A negative relationship someone is experiencing with their body I’ve been looking into diet culture for work which inspired this post and I hope the sample list of alternative compliments is helpful! It’s definitely not extensive and the topic of diet culture is WAY bigger than this post can talk about 😅 However, I hope to help stop contributing to diet culture and weight stigma one compliment at a time! If you have any thoughts on the topic or other ideas to help address diet culture I would love to hear them 😊 . . . . . . . #dietculture #weightstigma #weightloss #healthateverysize #ditchdietculture #foodfreedom #haes #compliments #intuitiveeating #antidiet #dietetics #dieteticsstudent #health #antidietculture #bodyneutral #nourishnotpunish #nutrition #nutritionstudent - @taco.bout.nutrition on Instagram
Have you ever met someone that didnt want to be your friend because you didnt have a thigh gap, a six pack or big biceps? I hope not and if you have I would question the type of friend they are. We can be so hung up on our appearance and forget just how INCREDIBLE our bodies are. Honestly, the human body fascinates me. I get that sometimes we want to change our appearance and it comes from a healthy place, but if you are striving to fight against genetics and punishing yourself through fad dieting, excessive exercise or other methods I would encourage you to shift the focus from appearance, to what your amazing body is doing for you. Be grateful. Be kind. Be compassionate. www.taliacecchele.com ❤ . . . #nourishwithbalance #tcnutrition #bekindalways #bekind #kindnesswins #kindnessmatters #bebodykind #bodyokay #selfcompassion #selfcare #nourishtoflourish #nourishfromwithin #foodfreedom #foodforthought #gentlenutrition #respectyourbody #edrecovery #eddietitian #londondietitian - @tcnutrition on Instagram

How do you know when you are finished having babies? For me, I have always wanted two. I never want to be outnumbered by children. I often hear that people simply can’t imagine not having another baby and I definitely don’t relate to that. For some, parting with baby items is a painful process. Personally, I couldn’t get that stuff out of here quick enough. I loved my babies and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. But I never found them particularly interesting. Now, as my youngest and last daughter approaches three, I realise with a gut-wrenching sadness, I will never have another toddler. And for me, that is something worth grieving. While adults will stew on a wrongdoing for days, a toddler can go from absolute despair to unbridled happiness in mere seconds. When they are happy, they insist that everyone around them be happy too. And they are so endearing that their happiness is infectious. A joyful toddler can emit a tidal wave of happiness through a group of strangers. The way they love is so fierce that is overwhelms them. Their perseverance is admirable. They are delightfully unpredictable and contrary. I’ve never been a fan of the “terrible twos” label, largely because I find it inaccurate. Toddlers are perfectly emotional, inquisitive, hilarious, loving and creative and the only thing terrible about it, is that this magical age only lasts for such a short amount of time. 💫 - @common_wild on Instagram

Why this dietitian doesn’t do meal plans👇🏻 “I just need a meal plan” “I just need someone to tell me exactly what to eat” I hear these statements or some variation A LOT— and here’s why I disagree. Meal plans don’t teach you food INDEPENDENCE👏🏻. AKA knowing what to eat, how much to eat and when to eat regardless of what type of situation you’re in. Whether you’re in your regular Monday-Friday routine, out running errands, or on vacation (is that a thing anymore?😂), you should be able to independently know what to do so that you can feel your best WHILE eating what you want. Meal plans don’t show you how to listen to your body or listen to what YOU need because they assume what you need. What happens if you’re still hungry? What if you don’t want what’s on the plan? Do you know where to go from there?😬 Meal plans can sometimes feel foolproof but they end up being the exact opposite— they end up being frustrating, difficult to stick to and most of all, a very short-term “fix” to a long-term problem. Have you tried to follow a strict meal plan before? Let me know in the comments below! 👇🏻 - @the.balanced.nutritionist on Instagram

🧠 Until the age of around 4, toddlers don’t have a well-developed prefrontal cortex. It’s responsible for lots of important functions like impulse control and emotional regulation. 🗣 So until 4 yrs old (and even after!) Dr. Markham suggests children “borrow our executive function.” I spoke about this very topic with @drlauramarkham_ahaparenting for the Raising Toddlers Conference. . Co-regulation is modeling how we expect children to respond to life’s ups and downs. Laying that foundation for children. It takes patience to not overreact ourselves! . If you find yourself struggling to regulate your own emotions and behavior, you could follow Dr. Markham’s advice: 🛑“Stop, drop, and breathe. It’s your pause button.” Stop what you are doing, drop your agenda and breathe deeply. . What else can we do to help ourselves so that we can co-regulate in the heat of a moment? 🧘🏽Meditation is another way Dr. Markham suggests. Did you know that measurable changes can be seen in an adult brain after one month of meditating for 15 minutes a day! If you’re struggling with co-regulation then you won’t want to miss our full interview on Day 3 of the conference (📆 October 23rd!). Mark your calendar and register! .

What is my Ideal Weight? I get asked this at least once per week. Our body has a weight that it naturally wants to be at. Some people call it your set-point weight but I like to refer to it as your happy weight. Your body weight is largely genetically predetermined. We may go up and down within a range (which is usually higher after kids) but your body wants to be at a certain weight. What weight is that you ask? I cant say exactly, but when I am asked about it during my client appointments I will review your usual weight. The weight your body likes to be at when you arent dieting like crazy, restricting foods, or exercising like mad. The weight your body returns to after dieting. This is the place where you can have a glass of wine with friends, eat out at restaurant, and enjoy that slice of pumpkin pie. When you arent tracking everything that hits your lips. Where you can live the life you want to live. This is your happy weight. Oh and p.s weight means zero about health so it is definitely time to smash that scale (or the sad step as I like to call it)😘 Now tell me what helps you lead a FULL LIFE ? - @jennthedietitian on Instagram
We’ve noticed that as the week is coming to an end people have stopped speaking out on police brutality and Black Lives Matter. As people whose platforms benefit on the diversity of food - it’s so important to stay educated on the culture/history that bring this diversity!

Do not let the momentum fade!!! Please continue speaking out, supporting black creators, signing petitions, donating, and VOTE.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say: I feel like doctors don’t always get it. I LOVE the doctor who helped me change my mindset with FM - he was a rare physician who saw all of me and didn’t just write me a prescription for pain pills and send me home. He knew he personally couldn’t give me the attention and coaching I needed to feel better, so he connected me to someone who could (a health coach who helped me change my lifestyle). But most doctors? They don’t see you. None of mine did. They saw a person who complained about pain that couldn’t be explained. A young woman who seemed neurotic and anxious with nothing truly wrong with her. It was a terrible feeling. But I see you!! And if the only thing your doctor is doing is giving you meds, then that’s where I step in. The thing is: medication isn’t your only option. It doesn’t even have to be an option if you don’t want it to be. Meds can be a great tool in your fibro kit but it’s by no means the only one. Focusing on your diet and healing your gut, exploring your relationships and stress triggers, modifying your movement and sleep habits, and SO MANY other things will help you feel better with fibromyalgia. It can feel overwhelming - until you get a coach to help you. I’lul customize a plan for you to get back your life and your body. I coach you, hold you accountable, and show you that your life is not over because you have this condition. If you need me, I’m here. Shoot me a DM and we can set up a call 💜💜 - @chaiwithsandeep on Instagram

Do you feel like you have to live up to an unrealistic ideal as a mom? The truth is, there are MANY ways to be a good mom❤️ and it does NOT depend on some of the things you may hear time and time again. Things like whether or not your baby latches, how hard or easy you find motherhood to be, how fulfilled you are, how well you can do it alone. These expectations can add to the overwhelm new moms feel 😕because they are unrealistic. It shouldn’t be complicated: A good mom is one that loves her child, makes time to care for herself and is doing the best she can. Contrary to popular belief, there are no perfect mothers! Only infinite good mothers. No matter what anyone may tell you. It’s something new moms need to hear more! 📣If you want to explore these motherhood expectations and that can contribute to the emotional overwhelm new moms face during the postpartum recovery time, our upcoming course is launching this week🙌🏽! We talk about this as well as the many hormonal and physical changes you can expect after meeting your new baby.

Four-month olds are sweet, fun, and full of curiosity and surprises. He’s stronger, more capable, and easier to understand. Be prepared for lots of fun and sweet moments! Most 4-month olds support their own head. They reach for objects, like your hair or glasses, and this requires co-ordination using hands and eyes together. Tummy-time is finally fun. Most 4-months old can push up on their elbows and play happily in this position. Four-month olds often look like they are teething . . . because they explore everything with their mouth. Four-month olds are easier to understand with different cries meaning different things. They smile spontaneously to engage you and they mimic your expressions.

Im hearing a lot about lemon water, and how magical it is. Yeah, no. Lemon water is not a thing. Stop trying to make it a thing. The claims associated with drinking water with lemon, especially in the morning, are outrageous and nonsensical. In fact, I just called out Shape Magazine on my Twitter because they published the most egregious piece of garbage crap about the importance of drinking lemon water in the morning. Their source? Dr. (which he is NOT) Josh Axe, who is just as bad as Mercola in his pseudoscientific fuckery. NOBODY should be interviewing this guy or giving him a platform in any way. In this trash article, Joshie (Im going to call him by his first name) claims that lemon water helps your brain cells, makes you look younger, and wakes up your digestive system. And lest you think that he had forgotten, there was of course the ubiquitous detox claim as well. Fuck that shit. This is why the wellness industry sucks so hard. And Shape Magazine used to be good! I used to subscribe!! Theyre dead to me now. Dead. The only good thing about water, with or without lemon, is that is hydrates us. There is nothing else. Im sorry to burst your lemon-scented bubble here. Heres a graphic I did about lemon water and the 5 most popular claims that are made about it.

⬇️ 12 Signs You’re Undereating ⬇️ Any of these sound familiar? 🚫 Women only need to eat 1200 calories a day 🚫 If you want to see results, you have to cut out carbs, sugar, and dairy 🚫 Working out more isn’t enough — you need to drop your calories, too With messages like these that tell women to eat as little as possible and that glorify diet culture, many women lose their sense of what “enough” food really is. This altered perspective can hinder their progress — regardless of whether their goal is strength gain, muscle gain, fat loss, or improved energy levels and overall health. If you’re under-eating on a consistent basis, you could be: 🎯losing muscle mass 🎯experiencing decreased power output during training 🎯and having a harder time recovering from your workouts Unsure if you’re eating enough? Here are 12 signs that you’re not eating enough food: ➡️ Low energy ➡️ Insomnia ➡️ Mood swings ➡️ Hair loss ➡️ Brain fog or poor concentration ➡️ Constipation ➡️ Loss of menstrual cycle ➡️ Feeling cold ➡️ Infertility ➡️ Low sex drive ➡️ Depression or anxiety ➡️ Sugar (or other food) cravings If you’re noticing these symptoms regularly but you’re not sure why — tap the link in our bio 📲 @thegirlsgonestrong to check out this article by woman-in-charge Molly Galbraith (@themollygalbraith) — “What to Do When More Exercise and Stricter Dieting Don’t Work.” In the article, she’ll walk you step-by-step through how to figure out if you’re under-eating for your activity level and goals, and how to adjust your training and nutrition to help you get the results you want. Note: Some of these symptoms can be due to other medical conditions that should be treated by a physician. If your symptoms don’t rapidly improve with increased energy intake or decreased energy output, consult with your healthcare provider. Got questions?

Created this illustration as I explored different menstrual cups as an alternative to tampons. I found myself appreciating even more just how powerful our menstrual blood is. Illustrating this piece made me truly think about our cycle, the connection to the moon and being a provider of life. How powerful our bodies are that we can create life within us and with our menstrual blood we have the ability to fertilize the earths soil as blood contains the three primary plant macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium). We are connected to the moon and the earth so let us honour this and never feel ashamed by our period. Please note this is meant to be a representation and not an actual exact illustration of the menstrual cup position/size for creative freedom purposes.

Many of you are angry. Maybe you’ve been for a long time. Maybe this week just put you over the edge. And being angry can be exhausting. First of it hasn’t ever been safe to feel or express your anger your nervous system may be working hard to keep it that way. If not being angry or not showing anger is what kept you “safe” growing up, your primal Brain may freak out when it arises. Then our protector parts come out with their booby traps like disorientation and discombobulating us to throw us off the track of feeling angry. Secondly, anger and the fight or flight response are supposed to be temporary states. Not a way of being. But for victims of abuse, racism, and other harms getting stuck in anger as a way of survival can be a common experience too. How are you feeling about anger today? It’s the Aries full moon right as I’m posting this and you may be feeling a little extra hot today. But something beautiful about the heat and energy of anger is that it’s transformative. So let that anger flow through you (as long as you’re not harming anyone else obviously!), vent, scream, cry, write a strongly worded Facebook post, then ACT. Let’s get our families and friends registered and ready to make change, starting with this vote. Share with someone you think will be served by this post!

I had a client tell me today she thought it was normal to dislike her body because all she heard from her mom growing up was how dissatisfied she was with her body Parents - our kids are listening to us They are learning from us They are absorbing everything we put out Be kind to your body. - @bluff_cityhealth on Instagram
👶Depending on their age, size and activity levels toddler need about 1000-1,400 calories PER DAY. That`s it you`ve read those numbers right. TODDLERS, very small huuumans need more than 1000 calories a day to function and grow. Now ask yourself, if toddlers need to eat this much, how much do we need as adults? As adults with busy jobs and exercise goals. I can assure you that whatever your goal is whether that be fat loss or maintenance you do not need to be eating this little. Food is fuel and eating in too low a deficit can have serious repercussions including losing muscle mass which is ultimately what most people need to achieve the lean look they desire. 💪🏻If you want to feel energised, look your best and smash your exercise goals you need to fuel. ✅✅Consistency is key not low calories. Choose nutritious foods most of the time (80/20 rule) Move your body in a way that you enjoy LISTEN to your body when it tells you it is hungry!!! Those signals are there for a reason, it is your body telling you FUEL IT UP!!! ⁉️Wanna know what can happen when you eat like a baby??? 1️⃣Risk of falling into the binge eat restrict cycle 2️⃣Eating too little doesn`t directly cause your metabolism to slow but it does result in muscle loss which needs more fuel to be maintained. RESULT : less muscle, less calories needed for your existence... 3️⃣Nutrient deficiencies from not getting adequate amounts of food 4️⃣Negatively impact fertility and can result in amenorrhoea for some females 5️⃣Consuming too few calories can weaken your bones. That’s because calorie restriction can reduce estrogen and testosterone levels. Low levels of these two reproductive hormones are thought to reduce bone formation and increase bone breakdown, resulting in weaker bones 6️⃣Increases risk of infections and illness ▶️⏭These are just to name a few! Still want to eat like a baby?? Don`t kid yourself do the math and calculate what you really need and if you really want to lose weight subtract 10% from this number. Trust me you will feel better and reduce the risk of binging. - @nutrition_byshaina on Instagram
Parenting is exhausting. And even more exhausting during a pandemic. We often move into judgment for what we are feeling. Our feelings are messengers, and we have the ability to listen and change the narrative. Release guilt and judgment, find compassion because this is damn hard. During survival, we often disassociate because it doesnt feel safe to feel. If you can, let tiny little bits of your feelings out so you dont get to a place where youre holding so much that you explode. These are only a few suggestions and things to try when the time feels right for you. Welcome support, ask for help, lean into the discomfort, let your feelings out. What are your go-to tips to combat exhaustion? . . #parentinglittles #honestmotherhood #dailyparenting #attachmentparenting #peacefulparenting #respectfulparenting #gentleparenting #positiveparenting #mindfulmama #parentingtips #parentingquotes #parents #parenthood #kctherapy #family #parenting #parentinghacks #parentingadvice #parentlife #toddlertips #preschoolertips - @parenting.littles on Instagram

Have you ever felt like if you just had more willpower, you could stop binging, lose weight, and FINALLY be the best version of yourself? What if I told you, your binges were not caused by a lack of willpower? Would you believe me? Or do you think Im absolutely insane for saying that? Its Sunday, youre starring at yourself in the mirror in disgust. You look at yourself and say, alright starting tomorrow Im getting my sh*t together. You spend all evening meal prepping all your healthy food, and promise yourself that this week will not end in a binge. Its Monday, youre feeling motivated and proud of yourself. Your coworker brings donuts to the office, and when offered one you gleefully answer Im okay, Im sticking to my meal plan this week. You feel empowered by your willpower and tell yourself this time will be different. But as Wednesday creeps up, your meal prepped chicken and rice doesnt sound as satisfying. You can hear the Burger King across the street calling your name. The inner dialogue begins Should I? Its so bad though. Im doing so good this week. But it sounds SO good. You finally cave and get it. You eat your burger and fries so quickly you dont even taste it. Then youre hit with an indescribable amount of guilt. Why cant I just stick to the meal plan?! I cant believe its only Wednesday and I already messed up. Filled with disappointment in yourself, as you head home you think, well I already messed up... and stop on your way home to get a pint of ice cream. You spend the night eating the entire pint, sick to your stomach and sobbing why do I keep doing this... Girlfriend, this does not have to be your life. We are told over and over again if you just have enough willpower you can lose weight and stop binging. Not only is weight influenced by much more than just what we eat, willpower is not even a part of the equation. You stop binging by making peace with food, eliminating food rules, fueling your body consistently throughout the day, dealing with your emotions and being kind to yourself. If youre looking for support on your journey, apply to my coaching. Id love to be apart of your journey. Link in bio 💕 - @self.love.nutritionist on Instagram

“Is intuitive eating letting your self go?“ . Intuitive eating is finally realizing you’ve been doing the same thing OVER and OVER again without success (basically the definition of insanity 🤯) and realizing there’s another way ‼️ It’s actually the best thing you can do to help yourself. ➡️To focus on listening to your own self for once. ➡️To truly learn how to eat without rules. ➡️And free yourself from the war you’ve had on yourself. . So no, it’s not letting yourself “go“. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself 🖤 - @dietitiandeanna on Instagram

Mounting research shows that there is no magic bullet to treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, allergies, digestive disorders, headaches, fatigue, or any of the myriad problems we suffer from in the 21st century. But increasing evidence also shows us something else. It shows that food is the most powerful “drug” we have not just to prevent, but also treat, cure, and reverse most chronic illnesses. Unfortunately, most physicians did not learn the two most important things we need to know about in medical school — nutrition and the role of the environment and toxins in our health. My goal is to help my patients heal and get better and I have no particular allegiance to any type of treatment — whether it is a drug, surgery, radiation, or a new procedure. I have at my disposal the best medicines and pharmaceutical treatments. I can send patients to the best surgeons and specialists anywhere in the world. But time after time, I find the most powerful, fastest acting, and most dramatic results come from using food as our main medicine. I use food for healing, not because I believe it is better to use natural treatments than to use drugs, but because it works better and only has positive side effects. Food is not just calories; food is information. I’ve seen thousands of people transform simply by changing their diet, so why not give it a shot? You will only feel better. The food industry likes to trick us into thinking that eating healthy is expensive, but this is far from the truth. My friends at the Environmental Working Group created an easy-to-use, comprehensive guide, called Good Food on a Tight Budget, to help consumers make the best food choices without breaking the bank. - @drmarkhyman on Instagram
Yes you can eat rice while living with diabetes 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I know rice can be a huge part of someone culture. So imagine being told you can’t have it anymore.

Crying is not a weakness. Crying is the body letting go of all shit we’ve held onto. If we want to heal to the capacity of being able to “take steps forward” to a life + a being that feels most authentic, we MUST grieve.. and that takes time of being honest + transparent with yourself, feeling your emotions, rewiring your subconscious, acknowledging the parts of you that feel dark and then... release to transform. I’m not saying this is easy. Look at children. After they’ve had their “tantrum” of kicking, screaming + crying, they feel better and continue with their innate ability to let go, move on + embody joy. As adults, we lose this OR we hide away in places within ourselves because we’ve been wounded ie “I don’t feel safe to feel.” Embrace your sensitivities and vulnerabilities — the parts of you that are child like in nature!! THAT is your strength and that is the fuel that powers your journey. Trust me. It’s Leo season. If we want to “take action,” we have to release and feel. Your cup is neither half full or half empty. Your cup is limitless. Your emotions are beautiful. Your feelings are valid. Your fears are conquerable. Happy Friday, friends! Be well. 💛 #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathicdoctor #naturopathiclifestyle #naturopathicmentalhealth #mentalemotionalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthquotes #emotionalhealth #emotionalbodyhealing #spiritualhealth #selflovejourney #selflovematters #loveyourself #cryingquotes #innerchildhealing #innerchildwork #innerchildtherapy - @dr.trishferrer on Instagram
Can we just NoT use food as a punishment or a reward? 😑 . . . I know some folks are trying to motivate their kids to stay on Zoom calls but please let’s keep food out of the conversation. 👍🏻 . .

Don’t underestimate your own resilience. Yes, recovery is hard (maybe the hardest thing you will ever do). But you can do hard things. You can beat this, and you will. When you’re in the midst of it, recovery can feel like an uphill battle with no end point. But it does end. It gets easier. Life goes on, life gets better - you get better. Remember this in the moments that it all feels too much, and the road ahead feels never-ending: you are stronger than you know. Recovery is always possible, no matter how long you’ve been ill or how far backwards you feel you have slipped. There is always hope. Keep going. You’ve got this. - @therecoveryclub_ on Instagram

Raise your hand if you’ve ever been in one of those food situations where someone won’t take “no thanks” for an answer 🙋🏼♀️ . . Sure, Intuitive Eating (IE) involves making peace with all foods you find satisfying and learning to enjoy them, guilt free, in social settings. But IE is also about learning to connect to your body and eat in ways that align with how you’d like to feel. Sometimes, this means accepting food and enjoying it! Other times, this may mean saying “no thanks.” . . But that doesn’t mean refusing food is always easy or comfortable…especially since food is one of the ways that many people express love! So ✨save this post✨ for a few go-to lines you can try out next time you’re in one of these situations. . .

Tomorrow is world suicide prevention day. Suicide can still be a taboo subject but nearly everyone had been affected or knows someone who has been affected by suicide. It very important that we talk about this and have as much knowledge about this as we can, through evidence based information based on good quality research and through the stories of people with experience. I’m proud to have contributed this drawing for @afspnational last year for their real convo campaign which aimed to open up conversation about mental health so that people feel supported and to reduce isolation and hopelessness. We can often be scared to ask about mental health in case it makes things worse, feels awkward or we just don’t know what to say. And we can often feel scared to talk about our own mental health as it seems shameful, we are worried it may affect the other Person or what they think of us (amongst other reasons). This drawing was part of the campaign and aimed to help give some tips and ideas to help people feel more confident in being able to open these conversations up and offer a safe space when people need it. If you are affected by these issues then there is good information about what you can do and the help available on @afsp (USA) @papyrus_uk (UK) and @samaritanscharity which is available in most countries. I would also advise reading @mattzhaig words, for the hope that life will not always feel this way and that things can get better. - @thepsychologymum on Instagram
𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐫 may be what you see, but underneath that behavior, we have brain and body systems that matter. You may be trying to correct the behavior when we first need to look beneath the surface. 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 is the heart of behavior. This is the first thing even infants try to do-to regulate themselves. They rely entirely on their parent or caregiver to help them regulate. As a baby grows their experiences build the brain pathways needed for the foundation of self-regulation. 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 is closely tied to regulation because through sensations our bodies are evaluating if they are safe ..or not. Sometimes this means that the fight or flight response can be exaggerated and then make regulation and many other skills more difficult. 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 also involves sensations and regulation. This can be closely tied to memories again of things that may be known, unknown, safe, or unsafe. Understanding the various emotions and how they impact the body is critical to emotional processing. 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 involve things like planning, organization, focus, attention, and more. These skills are needed in order to manage daily life. Frequently we are aware of struggles in these areas because these skills are easier to see. However, the underlying cause of these challenges may be anything underneath. Behavior is how we see someone acting. Very often we believe it is a choice. It absolutely can be. However, behavior can also be driven by other factors and it is important that we are aware of this especially in children with growing brains. For example, a child you may see who struggles with attention and focus may be actually over-responding to the sensory environment. Or, a child who can never stay organized may actually have too many emotions running through their mind, and they are working so hard to keep themselves regulated that they do not also have the ability to utilize executive functioning skills.

There are many reasons why academia can be stressful for students. 👥 Unusual eating habits, lack of sleep and little to no exercise enables depression among students. The added stress of landing a good job after university, financial instability or grasping the concept of change may trigger depressive episodes that require extra attention. 🐾 About 8.3% young adults go through severe depression therefore it is important to recognize the signs of depression among students. Students are themselves hesitant when it comes to seeking help due to the stigma related to depression. Henceforth, it is crucial that teaching staff, teachers and mentors help the process if they suspect a student is suffering from depression.

One of my greatest tips as a neurologist/neuroscientist is, when you want to achieve something, is do not contantly force your brain to do things it doesnt want to do. Our brain responds much better to positive associations so, instead, try to make things more enjoyable. Ive written a few posts previously about habits which depend on a cue-response-reward cycle (scroll down on my page for more info). The rewarding aspect that follows the habit is what strengthens the connections in the brain and reinforces that particular activity. This means that the immediate rewards provided by eating chocolate or watching your favourite TV shows make it much easier to form such habits than something where the reward is delayed (e.g. studying or working towards a long-term goal). To faciliate formation of those long-term delayed-reward habits, you can pair them with an activity that provides an immediate reward (as long as that activity doesnt distract or disturb the habit itself). Those positive associations are a great tool to get started and keep you going until your brain starts to realise and reap the long-term rewards. Above are some examples of things to do. Id love to hear of more examples in the comments below 👇 or share using my hashtag #thebraindoctor 🧠. - @the_brain_doctor on Instagram
PSA: SUNSCREEN IS NOT SEASONAL! When it’s cold outside, it is easy to think you may not need sun protection. The fact of the matter is both UVA and UVB rays are still very much present in the cold weather months and even on cloudy and rainy days. UVB rays have a slight seasonal drop, but can still absolutely contribute to the formation of skin cancer or a burn. This is particularly true if you live or are visiting a high altitude, like when heading to the mountains to ski/snowboard. UVA rays, on the other hand, DO NOT DROP during the colder weather months and still contribute to sun damage and aging. That means just because it’s cold outside doesn’t mean you aren’t still aging your skin! ☀️ You still receive UV rays on a cloudy day, up to around 80%. ☀️ Snow reflects and intensifies UV rays so you are often hit with the same ray TWICE. ☀️ Somewhere between 80-90% of aging is due to UV rays. *All information is from the American Academy of Dermatology and The Skin Cancer Foundation. #babeandbeauty #esthetician #estheticianblogger #estheticiancharts #skincaregraphic #skincareblogger #skin #skincare #skincareroutine #skinchart #spf #sunscreen #fallskincare #winterskincare #sunscreen - @babeandbeauty on Instagram

WHAT IS A 2-MONTH OLD WORKING ON? •••• Posted from the amazing @healthiest_baby “Two-month olds are such sweet little creatures. Babies wake up to the world around them and begin to socialize. You can have little conversations with them and share smiles. They are also busy building muscle strength. You’ll notice most 2-month olds can lift their head when on their tummy. Typically, the back of neck strength develops first. Your baby is gaining control over her extremities. Her movements are less jerky and more with purpose, such as reaching for something they want. A 2-month old’s brain is growing quickly. It’s a good time to provide stimulating experiences which can be as easy as talking to your baby about what you’re doing. You can move away from black and white and focus on bright primary colors. Provide plenty of free time for your baby to move his body freely and explore his world. A comfortable, warm, place on the floor is ideal. Think about the world from your baby’s perspective and provide bright interesting views. Your face close-up is one of the best ways to make your baby happy. 𝙄𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝘼𝙒𝙀𝙎𝙊𝙈𝙀 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙜𝙚?

💥Serratus Strength💥 - ❤️ TAG or SHARE this post with someone who could benefit from a stronger shoulder girdle 💪🏼 - 🎯 The serratus anterior muscle attaches from ribs 1-8 to the front of the inner border of the shoulder blade. When it contracts, it helps to assist in a smooth rotation of the shoulder blade along the rib cage when the arm is lifted overhead as well as provides a dynamically stable base for the shoulder girdle when loaded (lifting things overhead or performing activities like a pushup) - 🎥 Here are some exercises that focus on strengthening this muscle group that can be helpful for those with shoulder pain, weakness, and/or mobility deficits as well as those with neck pain (as many of the muscles that attach to the neck/spine also attach to the shoulder blades (scapulae)) - 💪🏼 These exercises help to improve scapular upward rotation and protraction strength and control, as well as challenges the rotator cuff musculature at the shoulder joint via shoulder external rotation, flexion and axial loading - 🎯 So pick a few of these to add into your shoulder rehab program or use them as accessory exercises in your upper body training! - 🔥 Band is from @committedhp - See the LINK in my BIO and use code DRCB for a discount! - ⁉️ Questions?

Stage 1 - Second Phase: Active Labor Hey 👋I’m Brittany! Join me @informed.mommy for more fun pregnancy, birth, and parenting education 💕 Active labor is when labor really starts to get going. Your contractions are intensified and will now require your full attention. During this phase, you will go from 6 to 8 cm dilated. Again, there are conflicting opinions as to whether this second phase goes to 8 or a full 10 cm. Dilation usually speeds up in this phase - most moms notice about 1 cm per hour. Contractions can last about 60 seconds, with 3-4 mins of rest between them. Try your best to rest in between contractions to save up some energy for the pushing stage. Use the restroom every hour - A full bladder in labor can cause the baby to have trouble moving down into the pelvis. It may also prevent a baby from being able to rotate into a good position for birth. Now is a great time to focus on comfort measures. Create a calm environment (dim lights, soft music, privacy) and increase comfort (walking, slow dancing with a partner, sitting in a bath or shower, or sitting and swaying on a birth ball). What did you do to help cope with active labor contractions? 👇 Check back tomorrow for more info on the third phase: transition! #prenataleducation #pregnancyeducation #babyiscomingsoon #pregnancyzone #pregnancyhealth #baby2020 #pregnancyadvice #pregnancyeducation #momtobe2020 #babyiscoming #37weekspregnant #pregnancyandbeyond #expectingababy #pregnanydiary #expectingmom #informedbirth #birthpreparation #mamatobe #knowyouroptions #mothertobe #birthprep #pregnancyblog #pregnancyfacts #pregnancytips #informedmommy #growingourfamilypodcast #birthpartner #birthsupport - @informed.mommy on Instagram

I’ve been hearing it over and over since I first started studying nutrition. . . “Oh I would love to eat healthy but you know hard it is being Hispanic and all our carbs.” . . I can’t even say I get frustrated or mad, it just makes me really sad. . . The first thing I always want to ask when I hear this is “why do you think that? Where did that message come from?” Because that message is never innate, we picked it up somewhere. . . The second thing I like to share is that nutrition seemed weird and confusing and mysterious to me UNTIIL I started to explore and embrace my cultural food traditions more. It came up that a lot of classic food combos and recipes were already applying nutrition principles that seemed abstract and weird when I read about them in books. . . For example, telling a plant-based eater to eat complimentary proteins sounds confusing and like way too much planning, but it turns out that complimentary proteins have been in our diet for centuries in the form of rice and beans. It really is that simple. . . For me, I found my nutrition happy spot by embracing traditional Latin food culture. . . I can help make nutrition simple and intuitive for you, without separating you from the food culture you grew up around and love. I’m currently accepting new clients for one-on-one counseling, link in bio for more info 🙂 - @latina.dietitian on Instagram

Over the years I’ve developed a bit of a routine for dealing with a flare-up. Sometimes I can feel one coming on before it properly hits and it’s almost like my brain switches on a button and goes into “self-care mode” to try and get me through. Sometimes they work better than others but having these coping mechanisms clear in my mind makes me feel like I’ve got a plan. And my brain likes plans so it instantly calms me down (and relaxes that gut-brain axis!). Who else has developed a flare-up routine or toolkit? What’s in it? - @youvegutthis on Instagram
Nutrition can help low progesterone! Let me break it down for you; every time you ovulate, the little place on your ovary where the egg used to live transforms into a special gland called the corpus luteum. (I hate that name and it reminds me of the word “corpse” but I digress…) This miracle gland begins secreting progesterone! A vital hormone that fluffs the lining of your uterus into a soft little bed for baby to land. It also closes up your cervix and thickens the mucus barrier between your uterus and the outside world, keeping baby in and germs out! 🙌🏻 Beyond this, progesterone relaxes muscles, boosts metabolism, and does way more things than I could list here to your brain, breasts, skin, GI tract, and more!🥰 If you’re not ovulating regularly or if that little corpus luteum gland can’t make enough progesterone, cue sad trombone music and the list of symptoms I shared above😢 Oh but here’s the other b*tch about progesterone: it can be great one day and total crap the next! Singular blood tests don’t mean sh*t, really. You can test 100% fine and your levels can promptly tank in a few short hours. This is why I ❤️ DUTCH Cycle Map tests! These beautiful tests show your levels progesterone over many many days, detailing exactly how and when it rises and falls! This information makes low progesterone SO TREATABLE! If you have any of the symptoms listed above, don’t fear, sister!

Drop an 🦠 in the comments if youve been hearing more and more about probiotics! Probiotics have garnered loads of attention in the health community over the past two decades, but they arent the only beneficial gut microbes. A healthy microbiome depends on interactions between the three main categories of components that contribute to gastrointestinal balance: prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. Healthy probiotics found in foods and beverages and the human gut feed on prebiotics, then naturally create postbiotics, which in turn help regulate the composition of the microbiome. As a team, these organisms “condition” our gut so that it can support digestion, elimination, nutrient absorption and a healthy immune system. To learn more about how your microbiome works and get a list of foods that support the health of your gut, head to our profile and click the link in our bio! - @ancientnutrition on Instagram
September is #SuicidePreventionMonth. ⠀ Suicide is the second leading cause of death for teenagers. ⠀ A report from the CDC reveals that suicide rates for teens have increased exponentially - by 56% - in the past decade. This is compared to the 33% increase in suicide rates in the general population of all age groups. ⠀ The rates of teenage suicide are rapidly on the rise, which is why prevention is so important. A conversation you might have with a teen who you suspect to be at risk for suicide can be live-saving. 🗣 ⠀ However, it can be challenging to know what to say when you’re having this conversation. This is why the wonderful @teenhealthdoc and I have teamed up to create this graphic with some examples of what some helpful (and unhelpful!) phrases may be when talking to someone who may be at risk for suicide. Keep in mind that these phrases may be helpful for people of all age groups, not just teens! ⠀ Here are some steps that can help you have the conversation: ⠀ 1️⃣ Express your concern. Do not be afraid that if you mention suicide, you’ll plant the thought in someone’s mind. There have been dozens of studies that have shown that talking about suicide does not increase thoughts of suicide. Expressing your concern shows the other person that you care and understand. ⠀ 2️⃣ Really listen. You might feel like you want to shut down the conversation because it’s an uncomfortable or scary topic. You might be tempted to say something like, “I don’t want to hear it” or “I struggled as a teen too, you’ll get over it”. However, dismissing the person’s struggles will make them feel even more isolated and misunderstood. Instead, ask them to share how they are feeling. ⠀ 3️⃣ Express compassion. Show your love and care for the teen. Validate their pain, and also let them know that it will get better. Let them know that you will support them and make sure they get they help they need. ⠀ SOURCES: ⠀ Miron O, Yu K, Wilf-Miron R, Kohane IS.

Yes, you read it correctly… no juice for babies under 1 year old. While most parents think that juice is a healthy option for their children, it is important to recognize that most store-bought juices and fruit drinks are packed with added sugar and preservatives. Juice is not necessary in a child’s diet. If your child doesn’t like juice...great!... no need to offer it. If your child loves juice, please offer only 100% fruit juice and limit the amount offered. 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫: 🍊Make your homemade version of his/her favorite fruit juice. That way you are offering 100% fruit juice and eliminate extra sugar and preservatives. 🍎Encourage your child to eat fruit instead of drinking fruit juice. For example, it would be healthier to eat a few apple slices than to drink apple juice. 🍉Remember, fruits are packed with fiber and vitamins, while the fruit drink is not. 🍓Keep track of the amount you are offering. By keeping track of the serving size, you are also keeping track of the caloric intake. 🥭Toddler’s and young children feel full after drinking juice, so avoid offering it before meals. 🍒Juice can cause persistent abdominal pain and diarrhea to some children. If your child is experiencing these problems, consider avoiding juice all together. 🍍The sugar in juice causes dental caries. Always offer juice in a cup instead of in a bottle, and do not allow your child to walk around sipping on it for a prolonged period of time. What is your child’s favorite drink?

We’re not static beings, we’re always making new cells, even as we’re just sitting here. At any time, no matter how much old programming you may have, you always have the potential to literally change your mind. Each cell in our body is constantly vibrating, often in several different shapes, and our receptors vibrate as well. It’s a dance that’s constantly taking place in our bodies, and every cell is talking to every other cell in a rhythmic, ongoing way. In fact, the frequencies of your cells are even in sync with the audible sounds around you, which is why music and words can be very healing. Every cell is a mirror. Since emotions run every system in the body, don’t underestimate their power to treat and heal. This is why you have to take a functional medicine approach to truly heal from dis-ease. #trulyheal #healthcoach #healthcoaching #healthandwellnesscoach #wellnesscoaching #functionalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #healthpractitioner #coach #lifestylecoach #rootcauses #causefinding #career #passion #psychology #bodymindspirit #mentalhealth #emotional #growth #neuroscience #neurons #biology #cells #healing #disease - @trulyheal on Instagram
Let’s talk about nutrients and the impact of Celiac Disease, shall we? 👩🏼🏫 🔸Undiagnosed Celiac Disease leads to intestinal damage. 🔸Intestinal damage leads to poor nutrient absorption. 🔸Poor nutrient absorption leads to nutrient deficiency. Of course there are many many variables that influence the nutritional status of a person upon diagnosis - the quality of their diet prior to diagnosis, the length of time and extent of intestinal damage and degree of inflammation. That all being said, there are some nutrient deficiencies that are commonly seen amongst those newly diagnosed. Listed below are some of these nutrients and food sources to consider incorporating to give your body a boost! 🔹 Iron - red meats, spinach, chicken liver, soybeans 🔹 Folate - soybeans, cornmeal, chicken liver 🔹 Calcium - dairy products, broccoli, chia seeds 🔹 Vitamin D - egg yolks, mushrooms, fortified juice 🔹 Zinc - gluten free oats, chia seeds, almonds Save this post as a reminder of nutrient dense food choices and shoot me a DM if you have any questions about this! ✨For a FREE 15 minute call, check out my link in bio✨ Xo, Kara #celiacdisease #livingthatceliaclife #autoimmune #autoimmunedisease #gf #gfdiet #glutenfreediet #glutenfreecommunity #celiaccommunity #newlyceliac #newceliac #glutenfreelife #glutenfreesafe #celiacproblems #celiacsymptoms #celiacnutrition #celiacwarriors #celiacconfidence #nutrientdeficiency - @celiac.nutritionist on Instagram

Closing off our consent series today (though we will definitely be talking about this again)!⠀ ⠀ When I put up a question box at the start of the week the number one question that came up is how do we talk to Grandparents who don’t understand or respect our child’s no.⠀ ⠀ One of the first things I do (always) is get curious why this is important to them?⠀ ⠀ Is it a part of your culture?⠀ Were they raised with this belief?⠀ Do they need alternative ways to connect?⠀ Do they feel judged for their parenting?⠀ Feel like they aren’t as close to their grandkids as they hoped?⠀ ⠀ What comes up for them when they hear your child’s no?⠀ ⠀ When we can understand this we can better understand how to connect with the feeling behind our parents actions and help create change.⠀ ⠀ Outside of this we can set boundaries in the moment. There is a few ideas on how to do this in the graphics above.⠀ ⠀ Setting boundaries and standing up for our kids is key. Modelling how important consent is for our kids to see helps them know that their NO truly matters.⠀ ⠀ As with every generation that comes our generation is learning and using new ways to keep our kids safe. This may come with push back from previous generations but rest in the truth that protecting and standing up for your kids matters. Obviously, these are just ideas and we want to make sure we come from an authentic place that fits within our personality when we set boundaries. Model respectful communication and speak from your own values. ⠀ How do you set healthy boundaries?? Open to hearing more suggestions below!⠀ ⠀ I know it’s been a heavy week here on OMV but it brings tears to my eyes when I think about the positive impact you are all having on your kids and how you are working to protect their innocence and safety. ⠀ ⠀ Just a reminder:⠀ ⠀ Teaching them they can say no - protects their innocence and safety.⠀ ⠀ Teaching them anatomically correct body parts - protects their innocence and safety.⠀ ⠀ Teaching them who safe people are - protects their innocence and safety.⠀ ⠀ Teaching them about grownups who are not safe - protects their innocence and safety.⠀ ⠀ Please leave a ❤️ if this consent series was helpful.⠀ - @ourmamavillage on Instagram
Yes I’m going there....let’s talk about it 💭 A lot of the time in my posts, stories, etc. I talk about DIETING. That automatically triggers the thought of “Weight watchers” or “Atkins” or a quick fix. And you might be thinking, “I never do any of that! So nothing here applies to me”. 🤔 Enter....WELLNESS CULTURE. 🥵 Wellness culture is the new wave that allows disordered eating to occur under the disguise of “health”. If it’s a program, it’s usually marketed as a lifestyle change, although it still promotes cutting out food groups and nutrients (F-Factor). It might be a “cleanse” that allows your body to “reset” (Whole 30). It doesn’t look like calorie restriction from the outside. Or it might just be plain, old “clean eating”: eliminating processed foods at all costs. 🍕 I encourage you to challenge what you know about wellness culture. It so easily sucks us in because, of COURSE we want what’s best for our health. In reality, these two share many of the same characteristics, whether it’s marketed that way or not. ✨ Do you feel like you’ve been tricked by wellness culture? I definitely have before. If so, drop a comment or book a call with me to chat about it 🙌🏼 - @peanutbutterbliss on Instagram
Kids don’t see the big picture in the same way as adults with life experience do. It’s natural for them to be more concerned with the now, but this begins to shift as they mature. ⭐️Helping them to start to think about what life may look like in the future for them when their choices affect others and not just themselves, is useful to let them gain focus while still helping them with big emotions. ⭐️A child with a quick temper is likely experiencing a mix of both nature and nurture. They may always have to manage a quick temper but learning how to do so while young and at home, will make a difference in the long run. ⭐️Remember to get curious first. Ask questions to understand, when they are calmer and listen well. 💜 if this resonates with you! Please share or save for later! ⭐️Feel free to ask any questions below or check out my stories! - @valueaddedparenting on Instagram
Do you find it difficult to honor your fullness? Or maybe you feel like you eat and eat yet find it impossible to ever get full? If so I hear you, and used to think my body was broken due to not understanding the difference between physical and emotional hunger. Before we demonize and try to fix emotional hunger its important to rule out physical hunger. We cannot confuse HANGER (extreme physical hunger) with emotional hunger. When we come from a history of restrictive dieting and deprivation its easy to think hunger only feels like an emergency because were typically not eating ENOUGH. Dieting teaches us to go way too long before allowing ourselves nourishment. This is why eating consistent, regular meals is SO important when healing our relationship with food. Once we know without a doubt that we are eating ENOUGH, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 we can start to explore emotional hunger. Important: - When we eat to comfort ourselves with food its going to be difficult to feel our fullness b/c its impossible to meet an emotional need with food. - Choosing food for comfort is ALWAYS an option. - We’re not taking food away, we’re ADDING to your emotional tool kit which looks different for everyone based on past experiences and current lifestyle. - Even normal eaters eat out of emotion (Hello birthday cake!) - 𝘚𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 is the key to seeing whats going on underneath the hood. If youre thinking Well I know why Im eating emotionally and its because of X and I cant change X so Im screwed I have good news for you...

With #OrangeShirtDay fast approaching, I wanted to compile a post with resources for teaching about residential schools. If you are not familiar with Orange Shirt Day, it is an annual event that takes place on September 30 each year to commemorate the survivors of residential schools as well as those who did not make it home. This is not a definitive list and there are certainly a plethora of resources to choose from, but these are ones that I’m familiar with and believe you might find useful. I tried to choose texts that explicitly deal with residential schools, but please bear in mind that there are a multitude of contemporary Indigenous authors whose work touches on the lasting impacts of residential schools and intergenerational trauma. Edit: On Slide 4, the title of Gord Downie’s book should read “Secret Path” not “Secret Falls” In my stories I will also be linking to two free events. One is taking place on September 16 and it is hosted by @medicinewheeleducation in partnership with Phyllis Webstad and the Orange Shirt Society. The other virtual event taking place on September 30, hosted by the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, is open to any school to honour residential school survivors. #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #ResidentialSchools #Indigenous #IndigenousExcellence #IndigenousHistory #IndigenousTeacher #IndigenousEducators #NativeAmerican #RepresentationMatters #WeNeedDiverseBooks #DisruptTexts #DecolonizeYourCurriculum #OwnVoices #CanadianTeacher #CanadianTeachers #AlbertaTeacher #AlbertaTeachers #YEGteacher #YEGteachers #TeachersOfIG #TeachersOfInstagram #TeachersOfTheGram - @tiplerteaches on Instagram
In clinic today, a mom of one of my patients asked me if I thought her son was developmentally tracking well. “Do you think he’s doing okay??Because I feel like COVID really set him back and I’m feeling major mom guilt....” Her exact words. And the rest of the conversation: “Yeah, when I took him back to his daycare center the director asked me ‘Oh, so what did you do during quarantine?’ “Oh we did lots of playing!”🥰 “JUST played?....” “*Yeah...*” 😶 Cue mom guilt. Hindsight’s always 20/20 and when she was replaying the encounter back to me in clinic she said frustratingly, “And all I wanted to say was, yeah we just played! What like I should have taught him sign language or something??!” 🤬 And in that moment I was reminded yet again (only this time 2020 style) how real mom guilt is and feels when you’re in the thick of it, which is what inspired this post. ✨ Don’t buy organic? Hell, me neither. Don’t “do it all?” News flash: no one does. Here’s to ditching the mom guilt and focusing on what’s important.

Comment “💜” if you’re PRO CHOICE! 👇🏼💜 ~ {TINY SPEECH} Let’s talk about menstrual hygienic products. And let’s talk about how freaking pressured we are these days to use a cup and let go of our pads and tampons. I am a severe lover of our environment but I just cannot stand a cup inside my body. I just can’t. I just can’t start to tell you how many times people have told me “that’s not possible, EVERYONE can use a cup” as if they know exactly how my body is like and how it feels. So once and for all: it’s your body, your choice and honestly, you don’t even owe ANYONE an explanation 💜 ~ My comics are brought to you by my lovely Patrons.

So you’re trying to be healthy and eat fruit instead of sweets, but now you hear is bad for PCOS cuz it’s full of sugar and will spike insulin. It’s like EVERY SINGLE FOOD you like is “bad” for you.😩⠀ ⠀ It’s exhausting, frustrating and just plain INCCURATE. ⠀ ⠀ As a certified diabetes educator, I have clients test their blood sugar all the time. And you know what… fruit doesn’t spike blood sugar if eaten in a moderate amount (in most people). And it has even less of an effect if you eat some protein/fat with it. So not sure where this PCOS rule comes in that every woman with PCOS needs to stick to one fruit a day. It doesn’t even make sense. ⠀ ⠀ Let’s talk about what’s in fruit:⠀ 1️⃣Fiber (slows rise and fall of sugar)⠀ 2️⃣Vitamins/minerals that help replete nutrients that many women with PCOS are low in ⠀ 3️⃣Antioxidants. Did you one of the proposed causes of PCOS is oxidative stress?Antioxidant rich fruit can help decrease oxidative stress⠀ 4️⃣Carbs. Fruit contains natural sugar which can raise blood sugar. But much of the sugar comes from fructose which has a slower glycemic impact that glucose. And the fiber slows the blood sugar rise even more⠀ ⠀ Health benefits:⠀ 🍉Decreases insulin resistance⠀ 🍏Decreases inflammation⠀ 🍇Improves gut health ⠀ 🍓Decreases risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 👉Bottom line:⠀ You can easily fit 2-3 servings of fruit into your diet (of course, this depends on what your goals are as well as what the rest of your diet is like)⠀ ⠀ A Serving of fruit is 1 cup berries, ½ banana or one small fruit⠀ ⠀ Do you ALWAYS need to pair fruit with a fat or protein? It depends! If you have a glucose monitor, you can take a fingerstick to see what happens to your blood sugar if you have a fruit by itself. Many of my clients are fine with a fruit alone. However I often suggest adding some protein/fat to the fruit. But don’t stress about this and feel like you ALWAYS need to do this (like smearing peanut butter on watermelon🤣)⠀ ⠀ Any questions on this?👇 - @the.pcos.dietitian on Instagram

👉GUT HEALTH PART 2👈 👉Change your diet Reducing the amount of processed, high-sugar, and high-fat foods that you eat can contribute to better gut health. Eating plant-based foods, lean protein & high fiber diet can improve your gut microflora. 👉Lower your stress levels Chronic high levels of stress are hard on your whole body, including your gut. Some ways to lower your stress include meditation, walking, getting a massage, spending time with friends or family, diffusing essential oils, decreasing caffeine intake, laughing, yoga. 👉Get enough sleep Not getting enough or sufficient quality of sleep can have serious impacts on your gut health, which can in turn contribute to more sleep issues. 👉Eat slowly Chewing your food thoroughly and eating your food slowly can help promote full digestion and absorption of nutrients.This may help you reduce digestive discomfort and maintain a healthy gut. 👉Stay hydrated Drinking plenty of water has been shown to have a beneficial effect on the mucosal lining of the intestines, as well as on the balance of good bacteria in the gut. 👉Take a prebiotic or probiotic Adding probiotics & prebiotics to your diet may be a great way to improve your gut health. Prebiotics provide “food” meant to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, while probiotics are live good bacteria. 👉Check for food intolerances If you have symptoms such as cramping, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, rashes, nausea, fatigue, and acid reflux, you may be suffering from a food intolerance. Keep a check on food you eat, their effects and if symptoms improve then eliminate them from your diet. 👉Follow @healthyeffort5 DM for personalized Diet Plans, Diet consultation & health related queries.👈 #guthealth #healthyfood #guthealthmatters #guthealing #gut #guthealthy #gutbrainconnection #gutmicrobiome #probiotics #prebiotics #microorganisms #healthandfitness #healthyliving #health #healingwithfood #vegetables #fruit #foods #dietlife #fit #fitness #dietitianapproved #dietitian #dietaryfiber #nutritionfirst #nutritionaltherapy #dietfood #healthyeatingideas #healthyeffort5 #healthandwellnesscoach - @healthyeffort5 on Instagram

Thousands of years ago, ancient Vedic sages devised a system of understanding the mind, body, and environment in such a way that we now can refine our diet, lifestyle, training, and tendency to injury/disease accordingly. Referred to as Ayurveda, this system promotes physical fitness for the health, well-being, and a harmonious aging of an entire society rather than aesthetics, ego boosts, or competition-driven industry of our modern world. With this being said, it outlines the signs and symptoms of proper and improper exercise habits.

THIS FEELS WEIRD TO WRITE... Given the current state of the world, talking about how much money I made last month feels super f*ing weird right now. But I knew that by not sharing, I wasnt helping anyone. So I shared. If you saw my stories yesterday, then you know that I just closed my biggest month in the history of my business at over $25k in revenue. And heres where it gets interesting... Almost $20k of that ($19,938 to be exact) came from a $37 offer. 🤯 But heres the crazier part... This was originally a core piece of an online course that Ive been trying to sell for $497. I just ran the numbers and in 2019, I made a total of $12,252 from that $497 course. And in just one month of selling Slay Your Sales Page (my $37 iteration of that $497 course), I blew past that number. Selling the $497 course felt so HARD for me. Like pulling teeth. And just by pulling out a piece of that original offer, re-working it, adding in some killer bonuses and re-launching it at a crazy-low price, I had a blockbuster month in my biz! My point - it is so critical in business to be able to recognize when something isnt working and be open to changing what were doing. Be open to experimenting and trying new things. Know that business can feel easy and fun. It doesnt need to feel hard (minus taxes) and it doesnt need to look exactly like the big guru you look up to. Be ok with making your own decisions and walking your own path. If you want to get the WHOLE breakdown of my low-ticket offer funnel and see just how easy it is to get one up and running in your business, then I would love to see you inside The Connect & Convert Club for this months live training. Its happening next week and the doors to get in for April close tonight at midnight EST.

As a society, We’ve got our parenting goals all wrong. A general Happiness in life will NOT come without resilience. I talk about this so much in my latest Resiliency workshop. Parenting choices in the name of keeping our children happy will not always align parenting choices that are in the best interest of our children! I encourage our community to start to shift their parenting goals in favor of resilience and skill building⛰ If you watched my workshop please comment your thoughts on it! #parentcoach #earlychildhooddevelopment #newmother #parenthoodunplugged #parentsupport #resilientchildren #peacefulparenting #momoftoddlers #earlyyearseducation #parentingdoneright #parentingishard #parentslife #mindfulparenting #educationmatters #happychildren #parentstobe #workingmama #momssupportingmoms #parenting101 #consciousparenting #attachmentparenting #stressmanagement #parentingtips - @hatchandbloomco on Instagram
It’s almost that time of the year - where winter ends & spring begins; and to celebrate the return of the sun, we are inundated with “challenges” to “lose the winter weight” and get “bikini body ready.”🤦🏽♀️ I’m here to tell you that is absolute bs.🙅🏽♀️ There is definitely not a one-size-only requirement to enjoy the summer sun; actually, there is no size requirement at all. ⚡️ The idea of getting “bikini body ready” puts out the notion that there is something wrong with how our bodies are. I don’t know about you, but I think our bodies are pretty amazing - they work 24/7 to keep us alive - so why do these challenges only focus on our appearance? If weight loss is a goal of yours, here are a few strategies that I recommend to my clients - that won’t have you cutting out your favourite foods or going on any crazy diets. The Plate Method - head over to my Instagram Reel to see how to design your meals following this method.☺️ Working with a dietitian to set yourself SMART goals. Setting goals that are realistic & attainable for you.✅ Shift your focus. Instead of focusing on short term results, such as “getting a bikini body”, focus on overall health and wellbeing that can be maintained all year long.👏🏻 If you’re wanting to learn about how to improve your relationship with food and lose weight in a safe and healthy way; I’m taking on new clients for September.👋🏻 Click the link in my bio to book in for a private consultation. 😌❤️ - @authentic_spoon on Instagram
I felt so ashamed of ever telling people that I had an eating disorder because of the stigma and misconceptions that surround people’s understanding. It is so important that people know the truth about eating disorders so that those suffering feel comfortable to seek treatment and tell their stories 💖. If you have an eating disorder please know that your experience is valid, real and that you do not have to be a statistic. You can recover, you can find freedom and you can live a full healthy and happy life ✨. - - - - - - #anarecovery #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #iweigh #anarecovering #beatana #beatanorexia #edrecoverywarrior #eatingdisorderawareness #endthestigma #anorexiafighter #anorexiasurvivor #anorexiawarrior #edwarriors #edwarrior #iamnot1in5 #edfam #edcommunity #recoveryispossible #nourishnotpunish #anorexianervosarecovery #mentalhealthawareness #recoveryjourney #eatingdisordersupport #disorderedeating #orthorexia - @lovelucyclaire on Instagram
Teaching Body Safety (general guideline) ⠀ 🔆Babies (0-1):⠀ ⠀ 👶🏽Label body parts with their anatomically correct names. You wouldn’t call their food a “step step” so don’t call their pen!s a pee-pee. ⠀ It’s important for kids to know the correct names of their body parts and not feel shame in talking to you about it as they grow older.⠀ ⠀ 👶🏽Try to include them in the process of diaper changes and changing. “I’m going to change your diaper now.” This helps show respect at an early age for their body.⠀ ⠀ 👶🏽Process your own concerns/hesitation about teaching children about their body. I know this can be really uncomfortable and tough for many parents. ⠀ ⠀ 🔆Toddlers (1-2.5) ⠀ 👦🏿Practice modelling consent. If they say “stop tickling me” stop. Use this as an opportunity to show them that “no means no”. ⠀ ⠀ ➡️I noticed Tommy said no more hugs, when he says no we stop trying to hug him right away.⠀ ⠀ 👦🏿Respect their choice to hug or not hug you and others. Kids don’t have to hug anyone they don’t want to. This again helps them show that they are the boss of their body.⠀ ⠀ ➡️I’m seeing by the way you are pulling your body away from me you don’t want a hug right now. That’s ok, you are allowed to tell me no hugs.⠀ ⠀ 👦🏿Start labelling their private areas. Explain factually that no one can touch them except for parents when they are changing them/bath and sometimes the doctor when parents are around. PS: Their mouth is a private area as well.⠀ ⠀ 🔆Preschoolers (Follow your child’s lead for when you can teach them these things. Usually between 2.5-5 is a good time!)⠀ ⠀ 👧🏼Continue modelling consent to them and respecting their no.⠀ ⠀ 👧🏼Teach them the phrase in graphic.⠀ ⠀ 👧🏼Invite their questions about body safety and answer factually.⠀ ⠀ 👧🏼Encourage child to wash their own genitals during bath time. This helps them to take ownership over their own body. ⠀ 👧🏼Teach to ask for consent before touching a playmate. This may be done by practicing in play at home with dolls and toys!⠀ ⠀ Leave a comment if this week was helpful! We have one more post tomorrow on tickling!Check out @curious_neuron for more info on body safety as well! 🥰🥰🥰 - @ourmamavillage on Instagram

COMMON PERIOD SYMPTOMS✨ - I asked you all what are you most frustrating period symptoms and the common theme was: PAIN. - Period pain can show up as symptoms like: 🌙Cramps 🌙Pelvic pain 🌙Headaches or migraines 🌙Gut issues 🌙Breast tenderness 🌙Painful cyclical acne (usually on the jawline) - And of course if we’re in all of this pain our mood isn’t going to be the best – hello mood swings & anxiety. - While these symptoms are COMMON, they are NOT NORMAL. - Pain is a signal from the body that something is out of balance. - When it comes to these common period pain symptoms it’s important to identify the root cause, which is often: 1️⃣Imbalances in estrogen & progesterone 2️⃣Inflammation - When we’re talking about imbalances in estrogen & progesterone often it’s that we’re in an estrogen dominant state. But estrogen dominance is not just one thing, it’s high estrogen IN RELATION TO progesterone. So this can show up as: 1️⃣Elevated estrogen, normal progesterone 2️⃣Elevated estrogen, low progesterone 3️⃣Normal estrogen, low progesterone 4️⃣Normal estrogen, normal progesterone but low progesterone/estrogen ratio - It’s important to identify YOUR picture of estrogen dominance, because healing strategies will differ slightly, ESPECIALLY when it comes to supplements that help with supporting estrogen metabolism or raising low progesterone levels. - For example, taking DIM because you have these symptoms and assume your estrogen is high when it’s not, can lower estrogen too much and lead to OTHER issues. Or taking vitex / chasteberry because you assume your progesterone must be low but it’s not is not actually getting to the root cause. - So what can you do? Test & don’t guess. I use the DUTCH hormone test in my practice to help you uncover your hormone levels so you can target a healing approach that is based on what is going on in YOUR body. And you complete the test at home.🙌🏼✨ - This way you can save time, stress, & $$ by actually knowing what to target. - For info on the hormone test package see link in bio (US clients only)🌻 - @composednutrition on Instagram

Cope With Your Feelings With Kindness - @elyseresch on Instagram
Ideally, as children, we witness adults who can face stressful situations, find solutions, + returning back to a baseline of stability. But many of us witnessed adults who lacked emotional maturity + self trust. This causes emotional impulsivity similar to what we see in children. There can be screaming, stopping, yelling, or complete shut down. Many adults cope this way because they haven’t been taught how to regulate their emotions. This is why so many of us have shame: we react from both the trauma brain + body. We are literally in the lizard, survival brain. Afterwards it’s like we “come to” (quite literally because we were unconscious.) Then we deal with the regret, sadness, + conflicting emotions when we act from the wounded self. Empowerment is learning how to regulate our emotional states. This is a practice. It takes commitment. Here are some ways to begin: 1. Daily meditation or breathwork for 5 minutes every morning or night when you’re NOT activated. With practice, you’ll find more and more space of quite, calm, + peace. 2. PAUSE. When you feel your nervous system a giving (a stressful text from a partner, an email from your boss, a car next to you with road rage) pause + BREATHE. Confidence is the result of this pause over + over again because you’re teaching yourself not everything needs a habit response. 3. Walk. Disengage. You do not need to respond to anything immediately unless it’s an emergency. Walking will shift your consciousness + change how you respond when you do reengage. If someone else is involved you can say “I am going for a walk I will need x minutes + will discuss this when I return” #selfhealers - @the.holistic.psychologist on Instagram

When I first started my gut healing journey, I went to a naturopath who told me I had to cut out between 15-20 foods. He gave me supplements, like powdered probiotics, fish oil + digestive enzymes (in tablet form which don’t work very well). He didn’t tell me how long I had to remove these foods from my diet, so I removed them for several years assuming that’s what I needed to do to fix my gut. All this did was lead to severe food anxiety + worse gut symptoms for me. I was scared to eat out or at other people’s houses. I started to view the foods I was sensitive to as ‘bad’. Half of the time I didn’t know if I was reacting to the foods I was sensitive to or if the reaction was b/c I was afraid + anticipating a reaction. This is a real thing! When we experience bloating, gas, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, or cramping after eating, eating starts to become a chore, it becomes stressful! We wonder what in the heck is going on? And what in the heck can I eat? Once we find a culprit either through eating intuitively or getting a food sensitivity test done, it’s easy to believe that we found the root cause. “If I omit this food I’ll feel better”. But here’s the thing. Omitting the food is only one piece to the puzzle! If we are reacting poorly to specific foods, it can mean a number of different things. Reacting to food is a symptom of a bigger issue. If you have food sensitivities these may be arising due to: -Dysbiosis (Candida, SIBO, etc) -Parasites (@nourishwithjass is an expert on this) -Leaky gut -Low stomach acid All of these have a common denominator: damage to the gut lining, damage to mucosal cells + poor digestion. We have to do more than just remove the food, we have to address the root cause. A good place to start is by: - Switching to a whole foods high fiber diet. - Repair the damage so that digestion + absorption of nutrients can take place. This goes far beyond taking a probiotic! Probiotics only work if we give them the environment that they need to thrive. Changing your diet is what is going to make long lasting changes to your gut health ✨ - @theholisticseedling on Instagram

PMDD or pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder. It usually comes on about 1-2 weeks before your period and the symptoms typically include irritability, anxiety, mood swings, rejection sensitivity and sometimes low or depressed mood. In order for it to be PMDD, a woman’s functioning at work or at home must be impacted. The symptoms resolve once your period starts. PMDD impacts about 3-8% of women with symptoms usually beginning in their 20s. Treatment typically includes lifestyle modifications like cutting down on caffeine, sugar, and alcohol, and then improving sleep and regular exercise. Research supports the use of calcium and vitamin B6 supplementation. Psychotherapy is also an important part of treatment. Antidepressants called SSRIs are the pharmacologic treatment of choice for PMDD and this is supported by randomized controlled trials. There are different ways to dose SSRIs for PMDD: daily, only during the luteal phase of the month (from ovulation to when your period starts), or daily but with an increased dose in the luteal phase. Studies using oral contraceptives for PMDD have shown mixed results. Please follow @womensmentalhealthdoc for more womens mental health information! All information here is for education.

DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RHYTHM AND FAM? 🤷🏽♀️ 🗓The rhythm method is based on the calendar (it’s what you’re doing when using a phone app that “predicts” ovulation and your period). The problem with this method is that it’s not customized to you, maybe you’re not one of the small group of individuals that ovulate on the 14th day of each cycle. It may be a helpful method if your cycles are extremely regular and you ovulate at the same time every month. However, even healthy women have variations when they ovulate month to month. If you don’t have a precisely timed cycle each month you may not know when or IF you’re even ovulating. 🌡The FAM (fertility awareness method) is based on your personal data and encourages body literacy as you get to know your body, your cycle, and your signs and symptoms. This method uses three signs from your body to track your cycle: your cervical mucus, your cervical position and a rise in your basal body temperature reading. Using all of these symptoms allows you to accurately predict, track, and confirm ovulation which can help you maintain your fertility if using this method to avoid pregnancy or it can be used to accurately predict ovulation if you’re TTC #healthycycle #womenshealth #womensupportingwomen #ovulation #anovulatorycycle #PCOS #periodhealth #hormones #fertility #infertilityawareness #bodyliteracy #BBT #menstrualcycle #ovulation #OPK #TTC #cycletracking #PCOSawareness #irregularcycles #PMS #FAM - @wellwomennutrition on Instagram

👋🏼 Hi! Im Dr. Hina Talib, a teen specialist and mom sharing tween, teen, & young adult health tips to get us through this pandemic. Follow 👉🏼 @teenhealthdoc for more. Anxiety is a top concern among my patients and their families BEFORE the pandemic, and even more so now. This week I teamed up with Cindy @curious_neuron to talk about anxiety in pre-teens and teens. Some starting off points ⭐️Anxiety is a feeling that comes and goes as feelings do ⭐️Anxiety as a feeling has a bad reputation ⭐️Anxiety in kids can be appropriate responses to challenges, stressful situations and unfamiliar situations or people ⭐️Lets consider that anxiety and worries can be normal, developmental , and adaptive/helpful signals that serve a purpose - warns us, revs up our fight or flight response, signals us to proceed with caution ⭐️An approach to normal anxiety in kids: -accept anxious feelings in your child as normal -listen and validate -gently correct misinformation -patiently encourage a child to approach feared situation one step at time, towards it becoming more familiar and the feelings more manageable (Source: Worrywisekids.org) So when does anxiety as a feeling or response to a stimulus become something not normal or maladaptive? Tomorrow we will share how you as a teen or parents or clinicians can tell. Double tap and share if this was helpful! Please tag a parent, teacher or physician friend who might find this weeks topic useful. What questions do you have about anxiety in tweens and teens? Are you hard on yourself or others for feeling anxious? I am here for you. . . . #anxietytips #anxiouskids #anxietydisorders #kidsmentalhealth #normalizementalhealth - @teenhealthdoc on Instagram

Are you doing all 3 of these things? I feel like if one of them is missing, this whole PCOS healing journey takes a lot longer and is a lot messier. For a long time I really didnt understand MY body. I was trying medicines that helped lower testosterone, when I didnt even have high testosterone. And I was feeling super bummed when these medicines did nothing. Getting proper testing and taking the results to a naturopath helped SO much. And tracking my symptoms helped me to realise when supplements were or werent working. Another thing that gets me is prioritising my health. I honestly prioritise my health almost all the time. But life is life and sometimes things get away from you. I use my PCOS Journal to help me prioritise my health but there were periods of time last year where I didnt use my journal and boy did my health suffer. It wasnt just that my journal helps me understand whats going on with my body, but even just the simple act of dedicating that 5 minutes where I fill it in is SO important for me. It keeps me connected to my body and that has been essential for my healing. I go into my whole journey from diagnosis to motherhood and how these 3 essential things have helped me, in my new blog post. Link in my bio.

I was working at a “dream job” when I started to spiritually wake up. I was 23 years old at the time, making upwards of 6 figures working for a utility company. I thought that I had really “made it.” But something felt like it was missing from my life. I was driving in my in my work truck one day and I heard this voice start speaking to me. There was no one else in the truck with me and I thought “am I going crazy? Who the hell is that talking to me?” I just kept hearing the words “Jake it’s time to wake up and get to work.” I thought “I am already at work what do you mean get to work?” The voice kept getting louder and louder... As the days went on, I started questioning everything that I had been conditioned to believe. I felt like most everything I had been taught was a lie and designed to keep me in a system so I would stay “asleep.” I spent most of my life operating in ego consciousness. It was all about “me” When I started to awaken, I transitioned from “me” to “we” This is when I started to connect to the voice of my soul. Have you heard this voice? Would you like to learn more about this? I am doing a free training this Saturday morning and would love to have you join. Click the link in my bio to grab your seat before it fills up!

Hands up if you’re with me🙌🏻 A mom, me and others went bridesmaid dress shopping at a bridal store. The store did not have a sample size to fit larger bodies, ultimately excluding her from trying on dresses with us and ruining the whole supposed to be fun experience. 🙎🏻♀️ Thank god she is strong and knows her worth, but I know this experience would leave other ladies ashamed of their bodies and potentially thinking of how they can lose weight to fit the “thin” figure society clearly promotes. 🙅🏻♀️ With my anti-diet approach, I help moms learn to appreciate their bodies and bounce back strong from situations like these.💪🏻💪🏾💪🏿 If this sounds like something you need, ✨click the link in my bio✨ to apply & book a free call to see if were a good fit to work together! #nondietdietitian #foodfreedomcoach #antidietlife #tossthescale #nodietinghere #bodypositive #selfcare #selfappreciation #bopo #loveyourself #beyourself #bodyfoodlove #yourweightisnotyourworth #bodyconfidencecoach #ditchthescale #bodypositivemoms #dietfreemom #postpartumbodies #toddlermom #momboss #rolemodelmom #mindfulmomboss #vaughanmoms #ontariomoms #momlifebalance #confidentmom #bodyconfidentmom #momshopping #bodyinclusivity #mombodsquad - @eat.with.freedom on Instagram
Are you feeding your mind negative or positive thoughts on a daily basis? If you are not working with yourself, you are working against yourself😬 One of the first steps in healing your relationship with food is learning how to befriend your body again. You can’t expect to heal if you are constantly tearing yourself apart‼️ Most people aren’t even aware of their own self-criticism because they have normalized it as part of their life. It shouldn’t be this way! You deserve to feel confident in who you are🤗 👉🏼If you want to truly want to improve your relationship with food but struggle to find peace with your body, apply for 1:1 food freedom coaching ✨link in my bio✨ You will gain access to weekly virtual coaching, intuitive eating modules, and tools to help you on your journey❤️ - @emmysyummys on Instagram
🙋🏻♀️How has IBS impacted your life? Share with me below👇🏻 .⠀ Lets face it. IBS is not JUST as simple as having an unhappy gut. Its not all in our heads either. For some of us, IBS appeared out of nowhere and turned our lives upside down. Whereas for many others, weve been having gut issues since a child. The concept of having a complete, satisfying bowel movement 💩 is foreign & not a day will go by without feeling bloated and yuck. Not only does IBS manifest as painful and frustrating gut symptoms, but it also affects the individuals confidence, body image, and mental health. A lot of my clients have shared with me that theyve put off dating and eating out because they feel embarrassed & theyre sick of explaining why they cant eat something. Friends, YOU have 2 choices ✌🏻. You can either continue putting up with gut issues, or jump in the driver seat 🚘 and start taking control of your gut. If youre ready to turn things around & get specialised guidance on finding IBS relief, I invite you to apply for my ✨IBS to Freedom Program✨, link in bio @ibsdietitian, 2 spots left to work with me privately. .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #perthdietitian #ibs #fodmapfriendly #lowfodmap #fodmap #ibsdiet #irritablebowelsyndrome #bloating #monashfodmap #digestivehealth #digestivesupport #foodintolerance #guthealthmatters #sibo #diarrhea #lowfodmapliving #ibsdietitian #fodmapfocus #guthealth #ibsawareness #invisibleillness #ibstofreedom #bloatingremedy #ibstips #ibslife #sydneydietitian - @ibsdietitian on Instagram
CORRECTION: pain is not a symptom of PCOS! . Maybe the symptoms post is over-done! but it is so important! . I know those symptoms are unpleasant. They go beyond biology and affect mood, confidence, and social interaction. . I wish more people understood what PCOS was . Symptom clarification helps with that! . It is the fourth day of PCOS Awareness Month! . As I mentioned previously: A syndrome is a group of symptoms that appear as a group. . Different symptoms appear on different people. . You may experience many of these symptoms but not all! . Some of them have further consequences in PCOS that may appear in blood work. . I help women in my practice through one-on-one counselling address these symptoms from their roots via nutrition and lifestyle.

Thursday reminder 🚨🚨🚨 Managing your diabetes is about progression not perfection. 1. Don’t beat yourself up if you didn’t eat vegetables for all your meals. Yes veggies are important but missing them in a meal is not the end of the world. 2. You can choose the white rice 🍚 your preferences matter 🙌🏽 3. Blood sugars don’t always have to be “perfect”. Everyday is unpredictable pick yourself up and learn from each situation. 4. You can still eat chocolate while living with diabetes. 5. Just because you have diabetes doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a snack if you need it. 6. Yes, exercise is important but be realistic with yourself and your schedule. 2-3 days a week is better than nothing 🤷🏽♀️ You’re human! diabetes is complex. Everyday won’t be “perfect”. #diabetesawareness #NJDietitian #Diabeteseducation #Insulinresistance #diabetesstrength #hyperglycemia #diabetesquestions #diabetesandfoodfear #achievablegoals #diabetesquotes #insulindependent #diabetesfoods #diabetesgoals #diabetescommunity #t1d #t2d #highbloodsugars #foodfreedom #diabetesmanagement #bloodsugar #bloodsugarbalance #type2diabetes #type1diabetes #diabetescare #type1 #type2 #bloodsugarsolution #diabeteseducators #carbsanddiabetes #perfectbloodsugar - @diabetes.rd on Instagram

A big part of how I do therapy includes the importance of focusing on our language. Ive mentioned before how my fascination with language was shaped by Deborah Tannen. . What I find, in the work I do, is that people often make character assessments about themselves based off of the times they didnt perform their best. I dont think that is a fair way to assess what type of person you are. . I like science and would need more data points to be able to make a comprehensive statement about someones character, not one or two instances. I frame it by asking the question, If I get into a car accident, meaning I run into the back of someones car, does that make me a bad driver? I believe I did something I didnt intend to do AND I also dont think I need to have my license taken away. . Be mindful of what information youre using to assess your self-worth. . #innerbully #wordsmatter #workinprogress #selfworth #selfesteem #selfassessment #wordshavepower #baddrivers #goodpeople #yougood #stopjudging #befair #mentalhealth #perspective - @stevonlewismft on Instagram
Will Exercise ruin my milk supply? One of my most Frequently Asked Questions! The short answer is NO. Studies show that PROLACTIN (the hormone responsible for breastmilk production) levels arent negatively affected by exercise. They tend to stay the same whether you are being active or not. I know that many women feel that exercise can affect their milk supply. You know your body best so trust your instincts! Remember also that you could be assuming its causing a dip in supply when really baby is just going to breast more frequently because of a growth spurt! That being said, here are 6 pro tips for exercising while breastfeeding. 〰️Don’t use six weeks as a “magic number” for returning to exercise. Consult with your healthcare provider and be sure to LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. It may be different depending on if you had a vaginal or c-section delivery. Some mamas could be ready earlier than six weeks, and others might take much longer. Try to remember its your unique healing journey and whats right for one mama may not be right for another. 〰️Remember that prolactin (the hormone responsible for milk production) isnt negatively affected by exercise. 〰️Breastfeed or pump just before leaving to workout. 〰️Use a supportive sports bra with a zipper or easy access for pumping/breastfeeding. 〰️You may have heard to drinking TONS OF WATER can boost your milk supply, but research shows that drinking TOO MUCH can actually be harmful to your supply. Drink to thirst (always keep a water bottle handy - I love you hydroflask tumbler), especially during and after exercise, but no need to drown yourself in excess water. 〰️When you are returning to exercise, be sure to keep healthy snacks on hand to stay fueled even when you don’t have time to sit down for a full meal. Snacks you can eat with one hand are awesome when baby needs to eat too! Ideas are: cheese sticks, pre-cut fruits/veggies, yogurt tubes, granola bars, smoothies, and energy bites. Remember that breastfeeding burns an extra 300-500 calories a day (per baby youre breastfeeding). Do you have other questions about exercise and breastfeeding? Do you exercise when youre breastfeeding? - @lactationlink on Instagram

Could it be that what you REALLY need is not actually weight loss? 🧐 When my client Emily first reached out to me 3 months ago, her main concern was weight. She was finding it increasingly difficult to stick to the diets and was blaming her own lack of willpower. But soon after working together, she started to see just HOW much mental focus and physical time/energy was going into obsessing over controlling her body and food. She started to see just how draining that was and also how it was actually KEEPING her AWAY from focusing on things that truly mattered to her. As we dug deeper over time and started to shift away from controlling the body to taking care of the body, she noticed what she was REALLY seeking all this time was: 👉 To feel good in her own body and who she was 👉 To feel confident knowing that she was taking good care of herself 👉 To feel worthy of care and love from within herself and from others In our most recent session she said: Its so easy to get sucked into the default diet culture thoughts, but I realize thats not what I really needed. I DONT want to be skinny at all costs sacrificing my mental and physical health. I want to feel confident, happy, and healthy. 🥳 Can you relate? If you are tired of the lies of diet culture that DONT care for your wellness and happiness, and REALLY want to start taking care of yourself in a trusting and compassionate way, I can help you do just that in my 6-week small group program Body Respect. ✨Click the link in bio✨ to see if you would be a good fit!

👉🏻 WHINING 👈🏻 It’s one of the biggest questions I’m asked about in my DMs. If this is something you’re challenged by, then please mark your calendars for 📆 October 21st and then register for free to join the Raising Toddlers Conference! . Jessica of @ourmamavillage and I agree, whining is actually communicating a need or feeling. It’s never meant to frustrate you. As a matter of fact, your toddler is likely very frustrated themselves! They are looking to you for a need. Giving them the tools to communicate that need is how we get the whining to end. For good! . I always get this follow up 💬 “So how do I figure out what they need? My toddler isn’t using words yet so I have NO idea what they want”.😣 . For concrete ways to go beneath the surface of whining we need to explore different possibilities. You won’t want to miss my interview with Jessica on October 25th to get the tools you need to nip whining in the bud! . For your free ticket to the virtual conference, click the link in my bio @transformingtoddlerhood or go to RaisingToddlersConference.com! It starts October 21st and has 25+ speakers focussed solely on toddler development. . Does whining trigger you? If not, what’s your toddler behavior trigger? - @transformingtoddlerhood on Instagram
You may think your child’s behavior is completely out of your control, and in many instances it might be. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But do remember, you are the adult. You have the power to take charge and make change. You have the power to identify how unhealthy patterns or behaviors may be related to something you are or are not doing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The power that adult parents have is the ability to tune into yourselves. You can examine your relationship patterns and make small changes that can go a long way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #parenting #parents #mindfulparenting #consciousparenting #families #gentleparenting #respectfulparenting #gottman #parentingtips #parentingmeme #parent #parenting101 #childhood #innerchild #innerchildwork #parentsofinstagram #gottmanmethod #innerchildhealing #reparenting #rmotherhoodunplugged #relationship #momlife #maternalmentalhealth #familylife #relationships #relationship #children #family #mentalhealth #emotions - @drallisonmarkmiami on Instagram
Posted this on my FB. Completely ignored. So posting here for my white counterpart: Id really recommend for you to read the following from a psychotherapist: @seerutkchawlas very powerful deconstruction on White Fragility, Weaponised White Fragility, Performative Allyship and Authentic Allyship . . . Also Ive realised and discovered that way too many people I know havent said a damn thing surrounding all these injustices. All because theyre too scared to offend the racists they harbour and keep active in their lives. I dont care how long Ive known you, but when the time is right Im gonna be deleting you off my socials. Im gonna look at every single one of your social media and lemme tell you, a single black square wont save you. . . . Being compliant to the silence makes you complicit. And if you can be quiet on injustices that doesnt affect me, then youll definitely be quiet on injustices that do. - @omarraza on Instagram
Curious as to how a normal labor typically progresses? Hey 👋I’m Brittany! Join me @informed.mommy for more fun pregnancy, birth, and parenting education 💕 Although every labor is different, most of them follow the same sequence of events. Here’s the breakdown of how each labor usually progresses, and tune in every day this week where I will go into more detail for each of the 4 Stages! ✨Stage 1: Dilation The first stage of labor starts when you begin to feel regular contractions. The first stage is the longest of the three stages and is actually divided into three different phases: 👉Phase 1: Early 0-6 cm (Some sources say 0-3 or 0-4 cm, but new ACOG studies show 6 cm) 👉Phase 2: Active 6-8 cm 👉Phase 3: Transition 8-10 cm ✨Stage 2: Pushing Your body goes from dilating to pushing as Baby makes its way down through the pelvis. This phase can last from 15 minutes to several hours. ✨Stage 3: Placenta The placenta is typically delivered in 5 - 30 minutes, but the process can last as long as an hour. You will feel some mild contractions but most moms are so focused on their babies that they don’t notice much else going on. ✨Stage 4: Recovery After the placenta is delivered, you will continue to have contractions as your uterus works to return to normal size. If you are planning on breastfeeding, it is highly encouraged soon after birth. Nursing right after birth will help your uterus to contract and will decrease the amount of bleeding. Check back tomorrow for more info on the first Stage of Labor!

Body love can be hard for so many different reasons that are deep rooted and personal. The thing that is a constant is that your body has your back, it’s fighting for you, it’s there for you and it can be your home. If loving your body feels inaccessible, then flip the script: your body loves YOU 🥰 no matter what. and what a precious gift that is. - @liberatednutrition on Instagram

This year with back-to-school in a pandemic, we Pediatricians (and our school health colleagues), are bracing ourselves. ✔️Its a common myth that asking about suicide inspires thoughts about suicide.

Need to detox? Been told that you need to detox? 🍵💊 Well, great news! Your body has you covered. ✅ If you have a healthy liver, kidneys, lungs and colon, then your body is detoxing at this very moment 🙌🏻. ⭐️The liver: THE COOLEST organ IMO, is the primary filtration system and processes toxins and prepares them for removal. What’s so cool about the liver? It can regenerate itself. Yes, you read that right. If you were to cut off a piece of your liver it would grow back 😳. Can you do that? ⭐️The kidneys: Filter the blood once more and excrete waste products from the body. ⭐️The lungs: Move fresh, oxygenated air into the body and remove waste gases like carbon dioxide. They also protect the body from harmful substances via filtering and causing coughing, sneezing or swallowing. ⭐️The colon: Excretes toxins and other products that were not excreted by the kidneys. Your body processes everything you put into it daily without the help of ‘detox’ products. The diet industry makes b i l l i o n s 💰on detox and skinny teas, juice cleanses, detox shakes, activated charcoal products, detox supplements, cleansing powders and more. And did you know that most of them are not ❌ regulated by the FDA and have not been adequately tested for efficacy? If you are bogged down 🙇🏾, fatigued 🥱, or not feeling well 🤢 from something you ate (or drank) you don’t need a cleanse or a detox, you need to nourish your body with the foods that will make you feel good and let your organs do what they do best 😉. - @ashleybrdn on Instagram
Were all grown up and calling it like we see it 🙌🏻 If you were put on a diet from a young age because of your size, I am sorry for what you went through. 😢 My Mom was encouraged to do this too. I know the toll this experience growing up can take on your mental, emotional, and physical health over the years. I also want you to know that you can heal from it and move on to a life of food freedom. Being able to move past your dieting past starts with something really, really, hard: no longer restricting your food and beating yourself up for your size. My clients are able to find food freedom by: 1. Knowing their worth beyond their size 2. Defining their health beyond their size 3. Creating calm and peace around food They work harder to heal in a society that made it harder on them in the first place. So, to the rest of us not in bigger bodies: 1. Stop telling other people how they should eat 2. Stop shaming bigger bodies. If we all do our part, breaking the diet cycle is possible. And I believe we can for ourselves and the next generation. Do you? I support women in bigger bodies moving away from lifelong struggles with dieting. Apply for September small group coaching. Limited to 6 women ready to be empowered toward a life without food guilt. Enrollment ends soon! ✨link in bio✨ - @no.more.guilt on Instagram

Did you know that you hold your tension in your vagina? That’s right, I said it. We often talk about our shoulders being tense when we are stressed, but here’s another body clue you are wound up, your vagina is clenched. I remember going for pelvic floor physio during pregnancy and she was like you are holding all of your stress in your vagina and I was like 🤯🤯🤯. Now imagine being stressed about having a baby, adjusting to motherhood and then trying to be intimate with your partner. It can be very stressful and difficult. You are not alone in your struggle with intimacy postpartum. It is a massive adjustment that all couples go through and can be really challenging. I did an amazing podcast episode on navigating sex and intimacy postpartum with @drtracyd. If you are struggling with this, I highly recommend you go have a listen. (Episode 014, search Happy as a Mother on Itunes, google or Spotify) Know that you are not alone in these feelings and you will reclaim your sex life and desire over time! Stay locked in with me this week as I am featuring a new invisible load post each day. Make sure to turn the notifications on for my posts so IG doesnt do something silly with the algorithm causing you to miss out. - @_happyasamother on Instagram
Why is my period late? 😰 We’ve all been there before. Your period is late. You might not think much of it for the first day or two, but as the days, weeks (or months!) roll by, the anxiety starts to creep in😬 Over-exercising, stress, thyroid conditions, PCOS, under-eating, recently coming off the pill, etc are all factors that can cause your period to make a late appearance😮 ♦♦A major factor that can cause our periods to be late. This being STRESS. 🤯 Stress is inevitable in this day and age with our fast-paced society. Let’s break it down and understand how this affects our hormones. Heightened stress levels cause an increase in the production of stress hormones like cortisol. A short burst of stress hormones are not a major issue for our hormone levels but, when chronic ongoing stress becomes a part of life, it can cause a ripple effect to the delicate balance of our reproductive hormones🤬😱 When our body senses we are in a state of extreme stress, it prioritises surviving and therefore has the ability to shut down or delay ovulation until a time that it feels your environment is safe again. This might be a few days or weeks, or it may be several months or years depending on the nature of your stress. Delayed or missing periods aren’t truly related to your period arriving late, but rather late ovulation😮 A great informative post by @nourishednaturalhealth ♥ Follow us @womenhealthpost and join hands in creating awareness about women health ❤ . . . . #periods #menstruation #periodpositive #periodproblems #period #menstruationmatters #womenshealth #menstrualcycle #menstrualhealth #menstrualcup #periodcramps #periodsbelike #pms #periodpower #periodtalk #women #periodstories #endperiodpoverty #periodmemes #tampons #clothpads #menstrualhygiene #womenempowerment #feminism #womensupportingwomen #periodpoverty #girlpower #sanitarypads #feminist - @womenhealthpost on Instagram
One of the most common mistakes I see when it comes to PCOS is attempting to treat the symptoms.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I get so so many questions - what can I do for irregular cycles? What can I do / take for acne? Hair loss? How do I lose weight?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well... treating symptoms is the conventional medicine approach. You want to treat your acne? You get a cream. You want regular cycles? They give you a pill. You want to lose weight? You get told to go on a diet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No no no no no no no. This creates a lifelong game of whack-a-mole as you subdue one symptom just to have another one pop up.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if I told you that ALL of your seemingly unconnected symptoms are stemming from the SAME root causes? 🤯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wait.. whaaat? Yeah. I got you, cys.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Join me in my FREE live workshop happening THIS week to learn more. Link in bio! 💫 - @the.hormone.dietitian on Instagram
What Ive found with making changes to my life over the past few years is that the easiest way to make significant change over the long term is to make micro changes over the short term. For me, I started with exercising daily. I then added in improving my diet significantly, I then cut down how much alcohol I was drinking (before giving it up completely) and lots of other micro changes along the way as well. Here are six micro changes that have had the biggest benefit for me over the years. Give them a try - but one by one.....not all at once! Just pick one and get started with that one. Once youve mastered that move on to the next one. Good luck!!! 🤗 - @clareleroy on Instagram
As much as we try and be present and supportive, we can’t be everything for everyone. We aren’t going to be able to give 100% as a parent, employee, friend, partner, child, sibling, etc. In this season of life—as a mother to a little guy—I remind myself that I’m in a season of receiving. I cannot be anyone’s primary support person because I am responsible for the complete needs of a tiny human. It’s not fair to me and those around me to expect that kind of support. What does that mean? I can still be a good friend and a present partner, but I’m not going to be who I used to be. That doesn’t mean I can’t give more in the future, but right now I have a responsibility to care for myself and my family and that’s where I draw the line.

🌟A tantrum is the off-loading of the feeling of frustration. 🌟When a child is in the middle of a tantrum, stay there and make eye-contact, but keep your words to a minimum. Just let them “do the work.” When a parent calmly rides out a tantrum with a child, once the feelings are out and the tantrum is over, the child feels deeply attached to the parent. . I spoke with Patty Wipfler of @hand_in_hand_parenting about her insights into tantrums. She shares, “If you are calm and understanding on the outside can they get the message that ‘You’re safe in this world.’”🌿 . You can trust your toddler. If your toddler is crying, it’s because they need to cry. 😩 If your child is having a tantrum, it’s because they need to offload frustration and tension. 💥You don’t need to know why it’s happening. . If you are looking for support in those big-feelings moments aka tantrums, then you won’t want to miss Patty Wipfler’s season on Day 3, Oct 23rd of the Raising Toddlers Conference! She gives so many helpful insights and new viewpoints to take on during a tantrum, that you’ll see tantrums differently forever.

Stopping fasting after many years is also v HARD. . AND you can: ☑️not choose the smallest bananas or eat more than 1/2 🍌 ☑️be healthy without eating kale or quinoa 🙋🏼♀️ ☑️stop IF. You can eat breakfast again I swear 🍳 ☑️buy a food because you love it, without looking at the label/nutrition facts 🛒 ☑️eat more today, just because your hunger and metabolism has picked up 🥗🍞🥑 ☑️eat the cookie or order the ice cream, even if “they” haven’t 🙌🏼🍨 . I know this because I’ve been there & now do all these things, and there are so many women finally overcoming these in the Food Freedom Breakthrough (FFB) community too! .

PCOS is caused by a number of risk factors: 🔹Genes: Studies have linked genetics with PCOS. 🔹Hormonal imbalances: An imbalance in the body of the hormones insulin and androgens causes the symptoms and signs of PCOS such as irregular periods and infertility. 🔹High levels of androgens: Higher than normal androgen levels in women can prevent the ovaries from releasing an egg (ovulation) during each menstrual cycle, and can cause extra hair growth and acne. 🔹Excess insulin: Insulin resistance is when the body’s cells do not respond normally to insulin. As a result, your insulin blood levels become higher than normal. Many women with PCOS have insulin resistance, especially those who are overweight or obese, have unhealthy eating habits, do not get enough physical activity, and have a family history of diabetes (usually type 2 diabetes). 🔹Obesity: Being obese worsens insulin resistance and triggers PCOS. Excess weight increases both the hormones responsible for PCOS symptoms. 🔹Sedentary lifestyle & Nutritional deprivation: The increasing prevalence of PCOS in young adults can straightaway be correlated to a sedentary lifestyle and lack of nutritional food. Lack of exercise, weight gain and obesity lead to metabolic imbalances. Diet has been found to be a contributing factor for PCOS. Fats and proteins from one’s diet can form advanced glycation end products (AGEs) when exposed to sugar in the bloodstream. These compounds are known to contribute to increased bodily stress and inflammation, which have been linked to diabetes and cardiovascular disease. 🔹Low grade inflammation: Inflammation is caused by obesity, higher androgen levels in women thus leading to PCOS. . #dietunpluggedbytareshi #dietunplugged #pcos #pcosawareness #pcosawarenessmonth #causesofpcos #food #nutrition #diet #health #wellness #goodhealth #wellnbeing #healthy #lifestyle #healthylifestyle #exercise #fitness #holistichealth - @dietunpluggedbytareshi on Instagram
Fatphobia is the intense fear or dislike of fat itself, becoming fat and/or fat bodies. Fatphobia shows up in pop culture where fat jokes are still somehow considered “humorous” television, in the medical profession where a person’s whole picture of health is dismissed & told to “just lose weight”, and even in the hiring process where people in larger bodies face immense amounts of bias & discrimination when searching for employment opportunities. Here are some ways YOU can help fight fatphobia in our culture: 1. Stop praising weight loss. 2. Stop commenting on people’s bodies, at all. 3. Opt for accessible seating if you have an office or waiting room at work. This means seats with no arms that can accommodate all kinds of bodies. 4. Check your own biases against fat people. Question how they got there. Do the work to dismantle them. 5. Diversify your feed & follow more fat activists and people of larger bodies, in general. Here are some amazing accounts to get started: @stephanieyeboah @curvynyome @meg.boggs @iamdaniadriana @danielleisanxious @bopopeaches @thefatphobiaslayer @ragenchastain @bodyimagewithbri 6. Lastly, SPEAK OUT against fatphobia when you hear or see it. Use your voice. Especially if you have the privilege of living in a thin body. I include myself in this category. There are so many more manifestations of fatphobia in our culture than I’m able to write here. What other examples have you witnessed or experienced? And just a reminder, this page is meant as an escape, an ANTIDOTE, to our fatphobic culture. If you bring any of that into the comments, I will block or delete them. Please be kind ✌️ - @empowered.palate on Instagram

What do you think? True or false? . Looking back on your own mother or caregiver’s relationship with food and weight growing up, do you think it impacted you in a negative or positive way? . For me, there is no doubt that my mother’s and grandmother’s thoughts and beliefs about food and weight impacted me negatively. . I cannot even remember a single moment they were not dieting and actively trying to lose weight. . At a young age I learned that women needed to be skinny to be worthy and desirable and I saw my mom and grandma constantly trying to achieve that. . My grandma had always been in a bigger body and I know she faced so much unfair societal scorn from this. I know she was so embarrassed and looking back I feel just awful for her. . She has since passed from ALS and while she was declining from this horrible disease, she was unable to swallow or speak any more. . She would use a pen and paper to communicate and she would write out to me how happy she was about her weight loss. . She was on a feeding tube and was completely malnourished by the time she had it placed bc she was thrilled with the weight from being unable to eat orally. . Even in her last days, weight loss was glorified and her shame about her bigger body was apparent. . She was an absolutely amazing woman that shaped me in so many positive ways and I know looking back, she was very affected by the culture around her when it came to weight and food. . It took me awhile to break away from the food and weight messages I got growing up, and I hope to be able to break that chain with my own daughters. . I want them to feel comfortable in their bodies though the world around them has very specific rules on what is “ideal” and what is not. . I want them to see me eating all different kinds of foods and know that’s 100% normal and ok! . What about you? What thoughts do you have about this topic? .

Do you ever find yourself obsessing about your next two meals during your CURRENT meal? One of my group clients shared on a recent call that food guilt once made it feel like she couldnt even ENJOY her favorite foods - like Indian - properly. Her mind was always worried about how to get her diet right. This mean that before shed eat, shed restrict to make room for certain favorites. Then, while she ate, shed tell herself less rice, no naan, policing each and every bite. She felt tense the whole meal and then after she ate, shed walk away feel totally deprived, like she missed out on her favorites. 😩 Worse? All of this effort left her so frustrated and hungry at the end of the day, it often lead up to eff it binges. All because food guilt was setting her up to lose control. 😢 By working with me through No More Guilt group coaching, this client learned to: 👉🏻 change her inner food police before meals 👉🏻 listen to her body and stop when she felt full 👉🏻 enjoy food and move on because she felt satisfied by eating what she wants! There is nothing more valuable than your peace of mind.

I’ve had one of the happiest weeks I’ve had in the last few months.. How? I consciously changed my language— that’s it. 🤯 Every time I found myself feeling anxious about work or a “to do list” item, I just relaxed and let go. I told myself “everything important will get done today.” When I felt like sleeping in, I did it without shame! When I wanted to stop working for the day, I let myself. The results of this little experiment were flipping amazing. 🌈 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞, 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲, 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬. 💰 Changing your language isn’t some fluffy manifestation tool, it is science .The words you speak out loud (or in your brain) dictate the chemicals and hormones that fire in your body. Every time you tell yourself you don’t have enough time, you’re stressed, you’re running behind, your body is being sent into fight of flight mode which makes you MORE unproductive, scatterbrained, anxious and crushes your creativity. The age of grinding your way to success is over. Are you up for the challenge, ZenBoss? What’s one thing you could STOP saying this week? Drop it below 👇🏼🌈💫 - @samantha.bove on Instagram
Ways to cope with labor pains Naturally Hey 👋I’m Brittany! Join me @informed.mommy for more fun pregnancy, birth, and parenting education 💕 These techniques wont stop the pain of contractions, but they might help you feel more relaxed and better able to cope with labor pain. Even if you decide you want pain meds during labor, these are great options to consider and practice before you head to the hospital or in case pain meds are not an option for whatever reason. ✨ Relaxation exercises: Begin by relaxing the muscles of your head and face. Release down your neck, shoulders and arms, down your chest, abdomen, and back, all the way down your legs to your toes. Breathe slowly, releasing more and more with each exhalation ✨ Breathing techniques: breathing should be slow, deep, controlled and conscious or voluntary, not automatic ✨ Walking, moving or changing position ✨ Continuous labor support, either from a doula or a loved one ✨ Touch or massage: Some moms don’t want to be touched during labor and that is OK! ✨ Applying ice packs or heat to your back or other body parts ✨ Hypnosis ✨ Acupuncture and acupressure ✨ Listening to music, dimming the lights, aromatherapy, and other ways of creating a calming birth environment ✨ Water immersion: Studies find that moms who used water immersion during labor were less likely to need epidurals or spinals for pain relief Interested in other options for pain relief? Check back tomorrow for a list of common labor pain medications! 👉Info from Mayo Clinic ❓ What did you do to help with contractions? #childbirtheducation #pregnantmommy #birthprep #firsttimemama #firsttimemommy #laboranddelivery #informedbirth #informedmommy #growingourfamilypodcast #childbirthpreparation #birthpreparation #pregnancytips #prenataleducation #pregnancyeducation #babyiscomingsoon #pregnancyhealth #pregnancyadvice #momtobe2020 #expectingababy #waterbirth #birthsupport #thirdtrimesterproblems #naturalbirth #bellybump #pregnantbelly #pregnantbump #birthpartner #birtheducation - @informed.mommy on Instagram
