These CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI MUFFINS are legit 😋 I added in some medicinal mushrooms to boost up the antioxidant content + get a nice dose of adaptogens 👌

Oh! And the best part. You can whip it all up in your blender or food processor. Meaning = super easy + less mess 🙌🏻

Here’s the recipe👉

INGREDIENTS:
— 2 cups almond flour
— 1/2 tsp baking soda
— 1/3 cup cacao powder
— 1/3 cup golden monkfruit
— 1/4 tsp sea salt
— 1 tsp cinnamon
— 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
— 3 eggs
— 1 Tbsp @eversiowellness balance mushroom blend (optional)
— 2 Tbsp milk of choice
— 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
— 1 cup grated zucchini, liquid squeezed out
— 1/2 cups chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350F and line your muffin pan with liners. Start by grating your zucchini. Then place into a nut milk bag or paper towels and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Add all ingredients to your blender or food processor (minus the chocolate chips) and blend until we’ll combined.

Add in chocolate chips and gently pulse. Scoop out into muffin pan. I got 10 muffins out of this batter. Add additional chocolate chips on top (optional) and bake for 20-22 minutes. Insert a toothpick to make sure middle is cooked through.

They were super moist and delish! If you’d like to get your hands on my fav medicinal mushrooms, check out @eversiowellness and use the code WELLNESSWITCH for 15% off.

I use their chill now reishi caps, balance blend and awaken blend in my coffees and elixirs 🍄

Language is powerful. We hear a lot about negative

Language is powerful. We hear a lot about negative thinking, manifesting & lack mentality in regards to life and business, but do we pay attention to the language we use about our health & body?

There’s nothing wrong with a achieving a certain health & body goal. If you’re proactively working towards bettering your health, hormones, energy, etc, I commend you 💕

What we have to start paying attention to is the WHY.

WHY are we working towards X goal? Is it because it’s what you see others doing and think that’s what you need to do? Is it because it’s the latest trend or fad diet?

“Cheating” on your diet means it’s probably not sustainable in the first place.

“Being shredded or having a 6-pack” has nothing to do with being healthy nor will it impact your self worth. Being overweight comes with health challenges, but so does being underweight.

“Looking how you eat” creates a cycle of guilt and shame around food choices.

Pay attention to what you say about your body and diet. Maybe it’s not your diet that needs “fixing” but your mindset and internal self talk.

Food flexibility and enjoyment are key for health, balance and making progress. I think it’s time to let go of these above phrases 🙅‍♀️

It’s no secret that I love medicinal mushrooms,

It’s no secret that I love medicinal mushrooms, but if I had to choose a favorite, it would be REISHI 🍄

Reishi is a powerful adaptogen that has been called “herbal yoga” and is traditionally known as the mushroom supplement of SPIRITUAL POTENCY and IMMORTALITY because of the way it can naturally reduce stress and anxiety, calm the mind, and strengthen the cardiovascular system.

There are thousands of studies on the benefits of reishi from immune support, heart health, sleep, anti saving, cancer and so much more (@eversiowellness has linked them all on their site👌)

I love taking reishi specifically for sleep. 2 caps 30-60 minutes before bed has worked wonders for my sleep. I’ve even seen improvements in my REM & deep sleep by tracking my data with my @ouraring

A sluggish metabolism is more than just ‘weight

A sluggish metabolism is more than just ‘weight gain.’

Have you ever considered that maybe metabolism IS the root cause to many of your symptoms?

It’s the reason why…
— your hair is falling out
— you can’t sleep
— you feel irritable
— your period is irregular
— your thyroid is low
— you feel cold
— you feel bloated
— you feel anxious

Healing your metabolism helps to improve multiple areas of health (weight loss being a side effect of that). In fact, sometimes I have found that your body may need to gain a few pounds even before feeling safe, to finally let go of weight.

When we restrict food, cut out macros, fast, run on adrenaline and stress hormones our body won’t feel safe enough to lose weight.

Also, we end of impairing our thyroid and adrenal health, which in turn impacts our sex hormones (so you start to experience irregular cycles, missing cycles, low libido, low energy, sleeplessness and mood swings).

No fun 🙅‍♀️

Inside my Naturally Nourished program I teach you how to heal your metabolism and optimize your thyroid, so you can reverse these symptoms and thrive 🙌🏻

This includes learning how to calm your nervous system, eat nutrient dense foods, supplement appropriately and heal your thyroid (the master of your metabolism)

When we think of stress we often think about the b

When we think of stress we often think about the big things - finances, relationships, losing a loved one, losing a job. Yes - these things ALL add stress to our lives, but we often forget about the everyday little things.

—> skipping meals
—> lack of sleep
—> blue light
—> overdoing it at the gym
—> ignoring your emotional needs
—> not eating enough calories

These everyday things can have a HUGE impact on your hormones and adrenals. You might not realize it in the moment, but after weeks, months, even years you start to feel depleted.

It’s like one day you wake up and BAM! The weight comes on, you can’t sleep, you’re craving everything, you’re sleepwalking through the day, you’re moody, irritable and just don’t feel like yourself.

A gentle reminder to prioritize yourself. Slow down. Eat well. Rest.

Your adrenals are tiny but mighty and have a direct impact on your thyroid and sex hormones. Manage your daily stressors and your overall health and hormones will benefit 🙌🏻

Check out my 28-Day Adrenal Reset program. It’s currently on SALE 🎉This program includes a full month long meal plan + at home workouts + breath work exercises and a suggested supplement protocol to help you balance your hormones and adrenals.

💫How cattle can actually be an ecological net positive
💫Animal protein: local sustainability vs global sustainability
💫What happens when we remove animal products from our diet?
