On this week’s episode, I had the honour of interviewing the dynamic duo that makes up Zesty Ginger (zestyginger.com)

These two help women globally become more aware of the phases of their cycle, they guide them get testing to see where their imbalances are and then from there, they support them in tweaking things that need some attention so they can thrive in their life rather than feel hijacked by their hormones.

If you are new to understanding the phases of your cycle and want to support your body in each unique week, download their free cycle guide: www.zestyginger.com/cycle

They created a simple and easy to follow guide that will give you a leg up on liver and full body hormone support. This is the guide I use and love to make my daily detox elixirs to support that week of my cycle. It can be overwhelming to take supplements like chlorophyll, milk thistle, turmeric tincture, collagen and more. When to skin brush? How much lemon or cranberry juice? They answer it all in their guide and on this episode of the FitMama Podcast.

We go into their individual journeys that brought them together as a functional nutritionist and MD team who are on a mission to support women and to clear the confusion that exists around hormones and our cycles. Their “testing vs. guessing” philosophy allows them to be of great service to women and moving from PMS, PCOS, Painful periods or worse to system support and symptom freedom.

Hey FitMama,

It’s back to school time and I know you are getting into the swing of the new routines and your life, as you know it.

Have things already settled in such that your goals and desires you had planned to implement have already fallen off your radar?

In this episode I talk about your willingness to give up ONE thing.

When you give up this one thing, you open to the possibility of true change.

For change to occur long term, we need to repeat a certain thing over and over.

Are you aware of the habits and daily repetitive behaviours that are keeping you stuck exactly where you don’t want to be?

Are you willing to give something up and feel the strain that comes along with it? Knowing that it gets easier each time you do it and that it just takes a little commitment and delicate discipline….PLUS: Awareness.

I talk about awareness and what you’re paying attention to in your day.

I mention that I saw Dandapani (https://dandapani.org/) speak on the weekend at a summit I attended in Toronto and explain his (my interpretation of) analogy of the mind and awareness. When you can connect these concepts and realize that you’re really not giving up anything while have everything to GAIN, you are winning 100%.

Work on your inner game by giving up that one thing and being disciplined with your awareness…when you do watch your dreams become your reality.

The tools are in this episode and I know they will be effective for you!

Please apply for a chance to join us at the “Own Your Core BS” Retreat.

Did you know you are a manifester? Know what manifesting is yet? Jen will explain what she means by it and how it is already taking place in your life.

If you’re feeling stuck in a repetitive cycle of being displeased or worrying about your body, life, job, kids, bills, husband, wife or anything else – it may be that you are actually just attracting more of what you don’t like about those things into your life.

It’s time to both let go of control and also gain control, now!

Jen explains how to worry less and manifest more positive things in your life that are aligned with the best version of you. Jen gives you a clear understanding of the difference between visualization, hoping, wanting, wishing, craving, desiring and truly manifesting the things you want more of in your life.
