What Is A Compass Rose?

What Is A Compass Rose?

When I started my Nutrition business, I wanted to really be here for you, to support you, and during a long walk with a friend one day about 4 years ago now, we brainstormed what that means to me, what the vision of my business is, and how I can serve you best.

Do you come up with your best ideas on a long walk too? For me, it's either during a walk or while I am laying in bed trying to fall asleep...

Anyway, that is where Compass Rose Nutrition & Wellness came from. During this long walk with a good friend. Once we both chatted about it, we loved it more and more and more!

You might be still asking though- what the heck is Compass Rose? So I made you a short video so I can explain it and show it to you!

Struggling with willpower?

If so, This video series is for you.

If you are struggling to reach your goals, lose weight, have more energy and eat healthy, then take some time out of your day and watch these videos. I think they will really help. 

Hot topic right now with my clients is willpower. It was common enough this week in our chats, emails and videos, that I wanted to make it a bigger discussion and address it. 

As a Nutrition coach, I help busy, professional women create a lasting healthy nutrition and wellness program so they lose weight and have more energy without dieting, feeling restricted so they can feel strong and sexy, NOT tired and bloated. 

A HUGE part of this is being in the right mindset. 

There's two videos in this series, click below to watch the first:

Healthy and Simple Summer Meals

Summer is HERE! 

Your schedule is packed. Your days are full. And you have absolutely no idea what you’re cooking for dinner tonight.

Sound familiar? This was my biggest struggle while trying to create a healthy lifestyle that sticks. It’s just so simple to speed through a drive-thru on the way home from work, and not have to worry about cooking. Right?

Clearly, fast food isn’t going to help us reach our health goals — this, we know! So something else has to happen… something more permanent. 

It took awhile, but I finally hacked the kitchen confusion and figured out how to plan healthy, simple meals without spending hours in the kitchen daily.

And I’m going to teach you those simple strategies! Go ahead, take that deep sigh of relief. 

Below we are going to talk about Summer Snacks, Summer Cookouts and some delicious Summer Drinks.

Have You Tried An Elimination Diet?

An elimination diet might be something you want to consider if you have been experiencing symptoms that just won't go away. Today, let's go over the pro's and cons, because you might be thinking 'is this for me?'

Pros and Cons of Elimination Diets

Our digestive system is a huge portal into our bodies. Lots of things can get in there that aren't always good for us. And because the system is so complex (knowing which tiny molecules to absorb, and which keep out), lots can go wrong. And that's one reason why 70% of our immune system lives in and around our digestive system.

This makes food allergies, sensitivities, and intolerances a huge contribution to an array of symptoms all over our bodies. Things like autoimmune issues, inflammation, and even our moods can be affected by what we eat. If you have digestive issues or any other unexplained symptoms, you may consider trying an elimination diet.

An elimination diet is one where you strategically eliminate certain foods to see if you react to them. It can help immensely when trying to figure out if a particular food is causing symptoms because you’re sensitive to it.

You generally start out by eliminating the most common food allergens for a few weeks. Then you slowly add them back one at a time and note any symptoms (better or worse).

Let’s go over the pros and cons of this diet.
