We have more power than we think on influencing the choices of those around us! On this episode we talk about how to get your family healthy. We talk about making changes as a family and implementing one change at a time.

I did the Autoimmune Protocol in college and it was life changing! What I love most about this protocol is that it really helps you identify which foods are triggering inflammation in the body. In this week's episode we talk about how I did this protocol on a budget in college and how you can do it too!

In this week's episode we talk all about Melissa Urban's Whole30 Protocol. This protocol is popular in January & September. While a lot of people use it as a reset, the goal of this protocol is to make long term sustainable lifestyle changes around food. You can read more about this in a a blog post I did https://www.alliannaskitchen.com/how-to-do-the-whole30/

Back in 2019, I decided I was going to give alcohol up just for one month as a reset. I felt so good during that one month I haven't turned back. I thought I would have the worst social anxiety going into situations where others were drinking but that was not the case. Instead, I now go into social settings feeling more confident than ever. On this week's episode I talk about the changes I have noticed in how I show up since going without alcohol. You can find a whole blog post all about it on my blog: https://www.alliannaskitchen.com/dry-month-questions/

Today, more than ever, people are wanting more realness in their lives. People are craving authenticity. For so many years, I felt alone in my struggles with an autoimmune disease and also being a highly sensitive person. Once I started speaking more of my truth and showing my true self, I started attracting more authentic and meaningful relationships in my life. In this week's episode I talk all about how to attract more meaningful relationships.

I first started Allianna's Kitchen out of necessity for myself. I had just lost my job. I needed something to keep me busy and also a way to pay for my food and Functional Medicine doctors appointments. I knew from the very beginning what was important to me: working with people that are in alignment with our vision and also building a career that would allow me to take care of myself too. In this week's episode I talk about how to create a future that you are in alignment with.

Your 'why' is the thing that pushes you to do something when you do not feel like doing it. That "why" is usually something outside of you. Maybe you want to get healthy for your kids or so you have the energy to do more with the people you love. For me one of the biggest motivators in my life to get my health back was and still is my husband and future kids. When I met Mitchell the first thing I thought of was "Omg this guy is out of my league." He had his life together and lets just say I did not. I was too sick to work! My husband and future kids deserve the best version of me. Keeping that in the back of my mind pushes me to do the things I know I need to do to help me show up as my best self.
