Best Foods to Eat Daily for Gut Health (For Adults & Children)

Maintaining a healthy gut is essential for overall well-being, supporting digestion, immunity, and even mental health. A balanced gut microbiome thrives on a diet rich in fibre, probiotics, and anti-inflammatory foods. But with busy lifestyles, it can be challenging to ensure both adults and children get enough gut-friendly nutrients daily. This guide explores the best everyday foods for gut…

NightDry Supplements - Health

Restful Nights Are Back on the Agenda Thanks to NightDry!

For years, like many a Brit, I suffered through a nightly ritual that wasn't exactly cupping a cuppa. Frequent trips to the loo in the wee hours had become the norm, leaving me bleary-eyed and exhausted come morning. Don't get me wrong, I'd tried everything – cutting back on fluids before bed, pelvic floor exercises (let's just say I wasn't a natural), even special sleepwear to avoid those mad dashes. But nothing seemed to do the trick.

A Beacon of Hope in the Form of a Supplement

Then, a friend – bless her – mentioned NightDry. Now, I'll admit, I was a tad sceptical at first. Another miracle cure promising the world? Been there, done that, got the empty supplement bottle in the back of the cupboard. But after a bit of research and seeing positive reviews from others, I decided to give it a go. NightDry is a natural supplement specifically designed to support bladder function, particularly at night.

NightDry Delivers on its Promises

Within a week, I noticed a difference. The nightly treks to the loo became less frequent, and the urgency that often jolted me awake started to fade. By the second week, I was sleeping through the night – a full night's sleep! It felt like a miracle. Now, I'm not saying NightDry is a magic bullet, but for me, it's been a game-changer.

More Than Just Sleep – A Brighter Day Dawns

The benefits go beyond just a good night's kip. Waking up refreshed has had a positive impact on my entire day. I have more energy, my mood has perked up considerably (no more grumpy mornings!), and I can finally focus on the things that matter without that niggling worry about "will I make it?".

NightDry – A Discreet and Easy Addition to Your Routine

NightDry itself is a breeze to incorporate into your daily routine. The capsules are small and easy to swallow, and there's no weird taste or side effects to contend with. Plus, it's a discreet little addition to your medicine cabinet – no bulky contraptions or lifestyle changes needed.

NightDry – A Recommendation Worth Sharing

If you're a fellow Brit struggling with disrupted sleep due to frequent urination, then I wholeheartedly recommend giving NightDry a try. It's been a lifesaver for me, and I wouldn't hesitate to share it with anyone in a similar situation. A good night's sleep is worth its weight in gold, and NightDry has helped me reclaim mine. So, ditch the bleary eyes and the desperate dashes to the loo, and say hello to restful nights and a brighter day!

Femme Fatale Guide: Tips To Relieve Everyday Bloating

As someone who has dealt with chronic bloating for a lot of my life, here are some of my thoughts, observations, and recommendations. HUGE disclaimer: I am in no way an expert on this, a medical professional, nutritionist, or anything of the sort.

Especially for women, bloating can be a sign of gynecological issues (endometriosis, PCOS, hormone imbalances like estrogen dominance, and even a warning sign of ovarian cancer). So, if you experience constant bloating that doesn't get better with improved digestion, schedule an OB/GYN appointment ASAP to ensure that everything is okay on the women's health front.

Everyone's triggers are different, but for me, these are some of the common causes of bloating that I've noticed:

Lack of sleep

Stress

Eating too quickly or while stressed

Lack of movement/walking

Not drinking enough water

High-fat meals

Chewing gum

Carbonated drinks/alcohol

Here are some of my best tips, habits, and product recommendations to manage & minimize bloating:

Engage in a 1-minute diaphragmatic aka deep-belly breathing exercise in bed right after waking up and right before going to sleep (place one hand on the middle of your chest and the other in the central "hollow" area right below your rib cage)

Get at least 6-7 hours of sleep a night

Have a bowl of oatmeal (made with plain oats and water) with cinnamon and fruit every morning

Drink water before any coffee in the morning; Only having at most 16oz or one large mug of coffee before breakfast in the morning

Chew my food slowly, taking time between bites

Drink at least 8 large glasses of water daily

Take my Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D supplement daily (I love the Deva brand!)

Have avocados/use avocado oil as my primary fat source (I love nuts/nut butter, but they really bloat me, so find your trigger foods!); I've found a large salad with a romaine lettuce base, some veggies, avocado, and an ACV-based dressing works wonders to settle my stomach or steamed spinach with roasted root vegetables/potatoes

Use digestive enzymes when necessary (These digestive enzymes are my favorites!)

Take at least 30 minutes to walk/move around daily (Pilates, yoga, or bodyweight exercises also work)

Drink ginger tea or some herbal-based tea nightly (my long-time favorite is Bigelow Benefits Calm Stomach Ginger Peach Herbal Tea!)

Don't eat anything for at least 3 hours before bed

For trapped gas: Try lying on your stomach, engaging in the downward dog yoga position or fetal position on the left side, or doing an abdominal massage (rubbing in a circular motion from the right side of your pelvis up through your rib cage down and around the left side) all work well!

Elimination Diet vol. 01 ~ planning & organization

I'm starting an elimination diet on Sunday, January 26th! One of my big goals this year is to heal my gut so participating in this diet makes sense. This week (Jan. 19-25) has been bad for me health-wise and has really solidified my decision to just do it. As I was brainstorming and doing research, I was getting anxious. This is a big thing that I'm starting! If I eat something on the elimination list during the elimination period, then I have to restart the entire thing.

The diet is structured as follows: a 2 or 4-week elimination period and a challenge period. During the elimination period, I eliminate certain foods, such as dairy or wheat. During the challenge period, I begin slowly re-introducing foods from the elimination list into my diet. Only one food must be introduced every 3 days. On day 1 I eat a small portion, then twice that amount on day 2, then twice the amount of day 2 on day 3.

I've curated a plan for myself that gives me the most confidence that I'll be able to be successful! Today (Jan. 25th) I went grocery shopping for this week's meals. For meals, I decided to choose a carb, veggie, and protein that are on the allowed list and mix-and-match them. For example, for the next three days, I'm having chicken rice and asparagus for lunch, but on Wednesday and Thursday, I'm eating white potatoes and turkey bacon! Keeping the same foods on rotation makes for less anxiety about eating the wrong thing.

This was a whole novel, lol! Tomorrow I'll post the meal plan that I made for myself. If you want to try an elimination diet for yourself I encourage you to do research and see if it's the right choice for you!

elimination diet vol. 2 ~ the meal plan

In this post, I will be telling yall about the meal plan I created!

As I said in my previous post, I chose a few staple foods I will mix and match as the weeks go on. I don't think I told you guys, but I am eliminating for 2 weeks. Anyway, my staple foods are: chicken, turkey, rice, asparagus, apples, and spinach. The apples will be my snack! I can eat most fruits and veggies but those were just the ones I like the most and are easiest to cook.

I planned my meals out in notion. I bought the template from Stella Planners.

Today's gratitude three -

1. A very active day, including lots of outdoor movement. Loads of steps, and the beauty of nature.

2. A better night's sleep than usual.

3. The sun on my face and the fresh air in my lungs.

And two workouts today, which doesn't happen very often.

An online client session at 7am. A workout alternating between heavy dumbbell work for lower body, into fast cardio blasts.

Awesome way to create adaptations!

My second workout was full body H.I.I.T using my kettlebells. That was a tough one!

Very good day 😁
