You probably know by now that your gut is the foundation of your overall health. Maybe you heard your neighbor talk about probiotics, or read an article online talking about how yogurt is an important part of digestive health (can’t help but see Jamie Lee Curtis’ face in the Activia commercial…).

Key Takeaways: Your body produces cholesterol and it is vital for healthy cells and hormones More cholesterol in the blood can increase risk for damage done to the endothelium (blood vessel wall), but it’s not the ONLY factor Excess inflammation/oxidation and not enough antioxidants in the body promote cholesterol oxidation and hardening of the blood […]
So funny story with this recipe… my husband said he was tired of eating oatmeal everyday, but wanted something he could quickly grab in the morning since he is often out the door early. As the main cook of the household, I knew I couldn’t add another things to my usual routine of meal prep. […]
Chia pudding is one of my go-to ways to up my fiber intake in the morning. It keeps blood sugar stable for hours so you don’t get that mid-morning hanger and can stay focused on what’s in front of you.
