Good morning! You most likely have heard of #spirulina as the "superfood of the sea". This past December I did an interview with Lydia from SpiraVeg on all the many benefits in adding it to our diet for our overall health & wellness. #guthealth & how spirulina can benefit our digestive tract is a new topic in North America, where it has been well used in Chinese medicine for a long-time. In addition to being packed with numerous vitamins, it is also a good source of #plantb...asedprotein and #PlantBasedIron. #Candida is a fungas in our gastrointestinal tract and when we have overgrowth (it feasts on processed sugars and carbs) it can release toxins in our blood system & upsets the bodies #phbalance. Systemic Candida has been linked to #leakygut , #IBS, #generalizedanxietydisorder , and autoimmune diseases like #lupus, #hashimotos, & #chronsdisease Now the studies so far have only been clinical, but spiruluna is anti-fungal and #antimicrobial and has been noticed to promote healthy gut bacteria while slowing the growth and reducing candida. So still lots to learn! But I love adding in raw, spirulina into my #smoothies. This beauty is from my Healthy Power Bowls Recipe Ebook and still a go-to for me when my digestion needs some love! Do you use spirulina or it's cousin #chlorella ?? XO Jo https://rejoicenutritionwellness.com//20-power-bowl-recip/

Snacks. I Snacks. When picking snacks and being mindful about digestion I try and pick snacks that satisfy the sweet tooth without making digestion sluggish. I was super excited to be asked by Detox Organics & Vista Global Media Collective to do some recipe development with this product and see what I think. In one scoop gives you 10lbs of raw, organic, veggies, herbs, fruit and plants . It is #glutenfree #soyfree #dairyfree #vegan so reducing some of items many people... with gut issues are sensitive too. I have a free shipping code for them if you are interested or want to learn more https://detoxorganics.com/ there is also a special mix of herbs for plants To aid digestion. It’s pretty cool to see a brand so mindful of gut health! Especially when protein powders can be hard on many people to digest. My recipe for the balls are: 1 cup soaked dates 1 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes 1/2 cup of nut or seed butter scoop of detox organics chocolate superfood powder 2 Tbsp unsweetened chocolate chips or cacao nibs Blend Together, roll in hemp seeds or coconut flakes and enjoy Jo

Strawberry Lemonade Kefir. Move over #kombucha cause #waterkefir wants some of the cool kids fermented drink spotlight time too. Water Kefir is becoming a hot trend because you can enjoy the digestive benefits of kombucha but with way less work, no Scobie needed, make in a fraction of the time and is easier for some digestive disorders to tolerate. I get a ton of questions about Water Kefir. Water Kefir is a #probiotic beverage made with water #kefirgrains and sugar water.... Water Kefir grains are a complex polysaccharide blend of good #bacteria cultures and yeasts that live in a symbiotic relationship. What I personally love about water kefir is that when you feed the grains (I always like to put in 1/2 a banana as the grains double in quantity when I do), is that when your batch is done you can simply reuse the grains. Just add more water, your sweetener, and whatever fruit combination you have and boom! another batch in 1-2 days. It’s such an easy way to use soft fruit that might go to waste and give your gut some extra support thanks to this probiotic fermented beverage. You can snag the recipe, my step-by-step pictures and how to video in the link today. https://rejoicenutritionwellness.com/strawberry-lemonade-k/ Do you make water kefir? whats your fave combination? post below Jo

When starting with #digestion support with a client, I like to return to the basics. Those simple habits we can all begin to practice at the dinner table. I was asked to do a nutrition talk at a women's health conference a few years ago and I will never forget it. Knowing that most of the speakers were going to talk about "WHAT" we should be eating, "to diet or to #antidiet" and all the other nutrition politics in between those sides ....I choose to flip things around and ta...lk about HOW we should be eating. In all my speaking opportunities, the response by women after was humbling, heart-warming, & eye-opening. Women from all backgrounds and walks of life, simply saying "thank-you for that!". Hearing women being like "we all are pretty over being told what we should do, think, and believe about our bodies!!!". This one lady was like "I just want to throw my hands up in the air with 2 big middle fingers and want to scream ENOUGH!!! so thanks Jo for the refreshing change!". Talking about HOW to eat instead of forcing the WHAT you should eat or what viewpoint you should align with is a pretty #liberating topic when you think about the war within the nutrition industry. Sometimes being like... I'm gonna just Chew my food thanks and start there and see how it goes" can help a lot! As Tabitha Brown always says, "Because it's my business!!" which I love so much when it comes to our own food & body choices. Remember lovelies, define your own version of health, and make your own rules! #foodfreedom XO, Jo
