Nutritional TipEating plenty of cruciferous vegetables will help to move excess estrogen out of your liver and out of your body helping to reduce body fat. Estrogenic toxins can build up from exposure to metals and chemicals such as plastics. Try making ONE change to your daily habits by swapping out your plastic water bottle to a glass or stainless steel bottle. Kristi’s personal favorite is the HydroFlask bottle. She loves the straws because you end up drinking more at work when you get busy!

Adding Bone broth to your soups, recipes, or just drinking it by itself holds many health benefits. Bone broth boosts your immunity and provides minerals and vitamins to the body to help strengthen and protect your immune system during these cold and flu months.

Product of the Month

Metabol Complex supports the metabolism of fats and sugars and helps support normal pancreatic and liver function. It supports digestion and relieves occasional indigestion symptoms like gas and bloating. It also has strong antioxidant activity that fights off harmful free radicals in our body.

It’s Time To Think Detox!
I know what you’re thinking: “The holidays are right around the corner! There’s no way I’m ready for a detox right now.” Well, that’s exactly why now is the time to start thinking about and planning your detox… because once the holidays are over, we could all use a fresh start!

The SP Detox Balance Program can be done in 10 days or 28 days, depending on how badly your body needs it. Here at Holistic Nutrition Center, we can help determine just what your body needs and walk you through the program.

This detox program cleanses the liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines and your whole body. It also improves the methylation process of b vitamins and b 12 in the liver.

Give us a call or stop by the office for more information about this amazing program!

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2014. After years of irregular menstrual cycles and infertility, I decided to seek help. I was referred to Kristi and Holistic Nutrition Center from my chiropractor, Dr. Tony Fedoryk, from E.T. Chiropractic, and I decided to give them a call.

It was the best decision I ever made.

Kristi helped get me on track with better eating habits and supplements to suit my PCOS diagnosis, and help boost my fertility. I finally started to have a regular menstrual cycle. And after 3 years of better eating and life habits, along with the supplements and treatments from Kristi, I walked into an urgent care with what I thought was just a cold and cramping from an upcoming menstrual cycle only to find out that my biggest dream and wish had come true…

I WAS PREGNANT!

It was the happiest surprise I could have ever received and I owe it all to the treatment and guidance I received from Kristi. Now we have a very happy and healthy baby boy. Thank you so much, Kristi and Holistic Nutrition Center!

This Autumn, fall into your perfect complexion!

Tue, 03 Oct 2017 14:32:07 GMT

TREAT YOUR SKIN TO THE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS FOUND IN MANY OF FALL’S MOST POWERFUL FRUITS!

The summer months can be rough on skin with everything from increased UV exposure to higher humidity, harsh pool chemicals, and even travel disrupting its natural color, texture, and moisture balance. With an autumn nip in the air, now is the perfect time to transition your skincare routine.Treat your skin to the active ingredients found in many of fall’s most powerful fruits ( 1 ).

APPLES ARE ONE OF FALL’S MOST POWERFUL FRUITS!

Apples benefit your health by boosting your intake of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. Vitamin C helps you make collagen, a protein found abundantly in your skin.

Collagen is a crucial structural component of skin and helps maintain your skin’s waterproof barrier. Low collagen production caused by vitamin C deficiency affects your skin, leading to a re-opening of old wounds and skin tearing (2). Apple Plant Stem Cells help visibly fade the look of dark spots and reduce fine line depth for luminous, perfectly radiant skin (3).

Spinach Omelette

Wed, 01 Mar 2017 14:30:14 GMT

THIS BREAKFAST IS A GREAT WAY TO START THE DAY

It contains healthy omegas to decrease inflammation in the body and protein to help stabilize your blood sugars and your focus. Short term memory retention can be a major annoyance in your day, so improve that with this great breakfast!

Ingredients:

Organic spinach
Eggs (whipped fresh and grilled on the pan)
Butter
Ketchup

Healthy, Nutrient Rich Tacos

Sat, 25 Feb 2017 22:28:29 GMT

A GREAT WAY TO MAKE HEALTHY, NUTRIENT RICH TACOS FOR YOUR FAMILY

To make healthy, nutrient rich tacos I use:

Butter Leaf Lettuce as a replacement for corn/flour tortilla
Butter Leaf Lettuce is an excellent source of Vitamin A and Phosphorous ( 1 ).

100% Grass Fed Beef

For the Toppings I use:

Avocado
Avocados are very high in Potassium , which should support healthy blood pressure levels ( 2 ).
Avocados are a high fat food, majority being made up of oleic acid which has been linked to reduce inflammation and has been shown to have beneficial effects linked to cancer and diabetes ( 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ).
Avocados also contain large amounts of fiber which can contribute to weight loss, reduce blood sugar spikes and are strongly linked to a lower risk of many diseases ( 7 , 8 , 9 ).
Cilantro
Raw Grated Cheese
Salsa
Try it out and enjoy!

Chemical Free Sunblocks

Sat, 25 Feb 2017 19:03:51 GMT

Fun in the sun doesn't have to have chemicals added to it!

All theses sun blocks refrain from the use of chemicals such as:

oxybenzone
oxybenzone
avobenzone
octisalate
octocrylene
homosalate
octinoxate
parabans
mineral oil

Traditional Sunblocks are Harmful

These chemicals can clog your skin and harm the liver which has to filter out chemicals in the body. Removing stressors such as sunscreen chemicals like these creates a better balance on the skin and in your system.

Reading Nutrition Labels

Fri, 24 Feb 2017 22:26:05 GMT

7 things you should know when reading nutrition labels

HERE ARE 7 ESSENTIAL TIPS ON HOW TO READ NUTRITION LABELS

If the ingredient list exceeds more than 10 ingredients for a simple food (or so you thought) you might want to reconsider buying it or get out google to look up ingredients that don’t look or sound natural
Look for gluten free (GF) label on the front of the items such as crackers, breads, pastas, bagels when purchasing grain items
Make sure to read the serving size and the amount of grams to understand how much you can eat of a product. For example, a 2 tbs serving of honey equals 17 grams of sugar. This way you can keep track of how much sugar you are taking in. Do this for all foods and beverages. Another example is juice. 1 cup of orange juice is equal to 29 grams of sugar.
When you see natural flavors that can be a red flag for chemical components in there. Why wont they just list the ingredient? Why cover it up with natural flavors? I am very suspicious of that ingredient. With some companies you will have to dig and ask what their natural flavors are made of so if you are not wanting to go further in your detective work I would avoid this one to be sure you’re not ingesting chemicals.
Major ingredients or words to look for in food and beverages are “enriched or bleached, partially hydrogenated, canola oil, soybean oil, vegetable oil, aspartame, added sugar, food colors and dyes (yellow, red and blue), artificial flavors, natural flavors, farmed, grain fed, concentrate (usually found in juices)”.
Look at the carbohydrates and make sure you stick to the serving size. For example GF bread serving size is one slice which equals to 20 grams of carbohydrates. I would try to stick to the serving size in a meal. When you consume high carb foods, your glucose levels rise and then your insulin has to rise to lower the sugars which blocks the mobilization of fat and stores it instead. Over time, this makes us feel tired because you stressed out your stress adapting organs such as pancreas and adrenal glands.
If your fats are coming from healthy fat oils such as olive oil, lard, coconut oil, nut oils, palm oil, sunflower oil, I am not concerned with how much fat grams are in the food.

Losing Weight & Staying Fit

Fri, 24 Feb 2017 22:23:31 GMT

LOSING WEIGHT:

#1 Tip to my clients who are struggling with losing weight: If you are working out 5-7 days per week and still not losing or have plateaued… I strongly recommend to add in more rest days and take it down to 3 days per week and let your body recover and rest. Recovery days are when the body can let go of the weight because you are not putting your body under so much stress. In today’s world, we are already under so much stress that sometimes exercise can add to that in a negative way and can act as a barrier in the weight department.

STAYING FIT:

Aim for at minimum 150 minutes of cardiovascular work (Run, Jog, Walk, Elliptical, Stairs, Rowing, etc.) per week plus 2 strength/resistance training sessions (Weight Lifting, Yoga, TRX Suspension Bands, Circuit Training, Pilates, etc.)

Foods To Avoid & Ingredients To Look Out For!

Mon, 20 Feb 2017 22:12:17 GMT

WHEN YOU’RE OUT AT THE GROCERY STORE OR EATING OUT AT A RESTAURANT BE SURE TO LOOK OUT FOR THESE FOODS AND AVOID THESE INGREDIENTS.

High fructose corn syrup

Hydrogenated oils

Artificial flavors

Yellow, blue or red dyes

Enriched flour

Animal Protein

High sugar foods

Sodas

Fried and breaded fo ods

Soy, canola and veggy oil

Non fat, low fat or 2% dairy products

( you should be buying the whole milk and full fat)

Aspartame

Refined white sugar

Added sugar

(check your canned fruits you would be surprised at the amount of corn syrup in them especially beets)

The number one food to avoid that helps reduce your risk of cancer sugar. Start anywhere in your diet… the sodas, the fruit intake whether canned or fresh, the juices, candies, monster drinks, desserts, smoothies, etc. Reducing the sugar allows for the body to heal and repair itself in a much more optimal way. Your body and mind will thank you!

Stay Healthy On Little Sleep

Sat, 11 Feb 2017 21:04:06 GMT

As a mom and Holistic Nutritionist I know how hard it is to stay on top of your game! Making sure the house and family are in order and taking care of yourself too… it can feel almost impossible to manage everything and everyone while fending off the cold and flu season. I am here to tell you that it’s possible! The best thing you can do for your family is to put your needs first. I know what you’re thinking… this girl is cuckoo! But here are things you can do to put yourself first and make sure you are taking care of you and keeping yourself strong to manage the household and fight cold and flu seasons.

When you have a new baby, sleep is something that you can’t control. What you can control is what you are eating, drinking, and taking to help cope with the stress. I would suggest getting a hold of the best Echinacea and start adding that herb into your regimen even if you’re breast feeding. The one I recommend is MediHerb’s Echinacea Premium . It’s the best source of echinacea you can get. This herb will help strengthen your immune system and help with the stress placed on your body from lack of sleep and just being a new mom. Another great thing to this beautiful herb is that it helps turn off the signal from your hypothalamus to the adrenals telling your body to relax and to not stress. Most women’s bodies function in stress mode even if they are sitting on the couch. By including Echinacea Premium it will help the body turn off stress mode and turn on strength and healing mode.

Probiotics are a great way to build your GI system’s immunity and digesting ability. By adding this in your routine it will help your hormones get back into balance and absorption.

You can add some staple foods to your diet like healthy fats and protiens to your diet to always keep you strong. Make sure you are eating enough animal protein with each meal. By adding in this much protein you will help your lactation process as well as keep you strong. It can be tiring feeding another body if you don’t have enough nutrients or calories in your own. When breastfeeding, you burn a lot of sugar feeding your baby and protein balances your blood sugars to keep you strong and balanced.

Examples of good meals:

1. Chicken with skin on it with sweet potatoes and some avocado

2. Ground beef cooked in lard and himalayan salt paired with Banza pasta , and zuchinni

3. Protein shake: Whey protein ( for new moms I would do an extra scoop in addition to what they recommend), chia seeds, nut butter, water or kombucha, a handful of spinach, and a tsp of stevia

TIps: During the day on a lunch break or in between work, take a walk outside in fresh air for at least 30 minutes. This changes your mindset and keeps you on the path to health!
Also, have a cup of chamomile tea before bed to encourage sleepy time.

5 Tips to Keep Your Nutrition on Track

Fri, 10 Feb 2017 21:05:59 GMT

1) Include animal protein in your diet, at least 75 grams per day! (Chicken, Fish, Steak, Beef, Eggs, etc.)

2) Make sure to get plenty of good fats in your diet via lard, butter, full fat dairy, nuts and nut butters, coconut oil, coconut butter, avocados and avocado oil, eggs, seeds and olive oil!

3) Aim for 70 grams of carbohydrates per day to stay in a healthy range for maintaining your endurance, weight and mental health… (Sweet Potatoes, Yams, Basmati Rice, Wild Rice, Quinoa, Fruits)

4) Keep sugar intake to less than 25 grams per day, no artificial sweeteners, cut out sodas and start diluting fruit juices. Stick to natural sugars like fruit. (Ex: this summer make fresh lemonade with Stevia instead of regular sugar).

5) WATER! Aim for at least half your body weight in ounces every day! (Ex. 150 pounds = 75 ounces of water per day)

P.S. *If your someone who likes oatmeal here is how we traditionally need to eat it to digest it and have it give us energy and not spike our insulin.
plain organic oats in a bowl, cover it with warm water, squeeze a wedge of lemon in there, add a tbs of whole milk yogurt in there and cover with paper towel and leave over night. Then wake up to warm it in the pan and add a small amount of organic maple syrup. This way it has fermented over night and our body can actually get the nutrients from a grain that it offers. It will feed our bellies good bacteria to digest the grain and it has been soaked over night so the grain can break down toxins it carries and be ever so gentle on the digestion!
