Let’s talk about tools for health…this right here is one of my favorite tools that I use for my own health and one I ask all of my clients to use…
.
This is a Food Mood Poop Journal and its where I track not just what I ate, but when I ate and how I felt before, during and after I ate it (notice I didn’t mention a thing about calories, servings or grams - I’m not too concerned about that when it comes to healing).
.
I also track how my sleep is and any other signs or symptoms from bloating to fatigue and tiredness to breakouts to moodiness. I also track my poop because poop tells us a lot about what’s going on inside of our bodies!
.
The best part about this tool is that it’s F-R-E-E - all you need is a notebook and pen (or in my case, a pretty customized notebook from @maydesigns)! I’m typically a digital girl, but in some cases, analog is the best. I can flip through past entries and connect dots and gather clues that I can then share with my healthcare team so we can collectively have a comprehensive view of what’s going on.
.
If you’re struggling with suspected food sensitivities or intolerances, have unexplained symptoms or even a diagnosed chronic health condition, this is one of the best tools to have in your tool belt to help you heal and thrive again.
.
Have you kept a Food Mood Poop Journal? If you haven’t, listen to Episodes 010 and 027 (to start!) where I share more on how to keep one.

I used to be someone who suffered from a major case of the Sunday night blues, but as I've shifted my mindset and expanded my work, I've come to appreciate all of the work that I do (even my 9 to 5).
.
Taking the time to reflect, reset and recharge in quietness on early Sunday mornings at one of my all-time favorite spots in this world has become a necessity for getting my mind in order for another week.
.
How do you get yourself ready for a new week?

Last night I had the pleasure of hearing @saragottfriedmd speak at an event in Palo Alto hosted by the @instituteforhealthandhealing.
.
She spoke on how our genes aren’t our destiny - rather, genes load the gun, but our DAILY lifestyle habits determine if the trigger is pulled to activate our genes.
.
Key Takeaways:
At the root of aging is inflammation and the things that cause inflammation are:
1️⃣ Western Diet aka the Standard American Diet (S.A.D. because it is)
2️⃣ How we perceive stress versus what we’re actually experiencing (which we typically underrate - hi cortisol!)
3️⃣ Poor Gut Health (everything starts with the gut!) and more...
.
A few podcast episodes ago, I talked about commonalities in many chronic diseases, in particular, unbalanced blood sugar and low vitamin D - two things that she discussed extensively too:
“People may not have diabetes but they don’t have normal blood sugar either…” and blood sugar dysregulation is responsible for 60% of cognitive decline (that’s where the @21daysugardetox can help).
.
I’m so excited to dive into her new book “Younger!” Thanks @cleaneatingwithkatie for inviting me to tag along!
.
PS If you are in the Bay Area, the Institute for Health and Healing is where I see my integrative doctor. They are a part of @sutterhealth and they accept my insurance (!!!) - it is a BLESSING to have this place to go in my community - we need more like them!
