Create a Morning Routine That Works For You

Creating a morning routine that works for you is so important! Your morning routine should make you feel good, not exhausted and unhappy. Just because a few successful CEOs credit their success to waking up at the break of dawn and doing their elaborate morning routine doesn’t mean that this will work for you. That’s right - you don’t have to join the 5 am club!

It is also important to test out your morning routine and reflect on how it makes you feel. Don’t be afraid to make changes and find what works best for you. Keep an open mind as it typically takes a few tweaks to get this right. It also might change based on the season and what is on your list for the day.

Check out these three tips I have for creating a morning routine that works for you!

SIBO: What Is It, and How Do I Know If I Have It & SIBO-Friendly Beef Bone Broth Recipe

Gut health is so important! It’s actually the main thing that lead me to study Nutrition and one of the key things I support women with now in my Nutrition practice. I had all the symptoms you can imagine of an unhealthy gut- and it actually lasted for many years until I finally took my health seriously and started to look into the root of the problems.

One of those things that turned up in my tests from my Naturopathic Dr was SIBO- which stands for Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth.

Now, I work with women who want to learn more about their health, their symptoms, and include more healthy foods in their diet to support their health.

Whether that’s weight loss, fatigue, bloating, stomach pain, or something else…

There may be something lurking within your gut, when and where you least expect it. You’re probably already in tune with keeping the large intestine healthy, balanced and well-populated with good bacteria, as probiotics have become so popular lately and most of my clients have either heard of them or are taking them. But, what about the health of the small intestine that is located before it in the digestive tract?

The truth is, your small intestine is where the serious business of nutrient absorption happens before the waste products are sent through to the large intestine or bowel to be expelled.

As you can imagine, there’s quite a slippery slope that ensues when the flora in this critical stretch of digestive highway goes out of balance. It’s called SIBO. In this blog, we are going to talk about:

How To Feel Full Longer

How To Feel Full Longer

Have you ever noticed that some foods keep you feeling full longer while others give you the munchies an hour later? That can make the advice to "stop eating when you feel full" a bit tricky if you're picking foods that aren't filling. That's a phenomenon called satiety. It's the feeling of fullness, of being satisfied and satiated. It's is the opposite of hunger and appetite.

The satiety index is a rating of foods that have been tested for the satiating effect in a 240 calorie (1,000 kJ) portion size. The scale scores foods based on whether people feel extremely hungry, hungry, semi-hungry, no feeling, semi-satisfied, satisfied, or extremely satisfied. Similarly to the glycemic index, the response to white bread was set to be 100. Foods that are more filling have numbers higher than 100. Foods that are less filling have numbers lower than 100.

Here are the characteristics of foods with a high satiety index. Plus keep reading for a bonus recipe to keep you feeling full.
