In this episode of The Simplicity "Bite" Sessions, I dive into a topic that will be of interest to women who will or have had their gallbladder removed. A lot of women are told that their gallbladder needs to be removed for their health to improve, the truth is that it is often not the root cause of your health issues but rather just a symptom.
These are the main topics in this short but resourceful episode:

If you don't get proper sleep your mood and body will suffer. Ask yourself if there is anything more you can do to improve your sleep. I use Valericalm by Saint Francis Herb Farm. It is especially good when I feel that kind of anxiousness, the one that prevents you from sleeping because you feel like you're buzzing. Valericalm is amazingly helpful in calming your nervous system down without feeling drowsy or hungover.

In today's episode, I am happy to have a chance to introduce you to Melanie Huestis, she has been my own personal and intuitive healing coach for the last couple of years.
Melanie Huestis is an intuitive energy coach with a big heart and a mouth to match. She's a straight shooter with a knack for helping women turn their muck into magic by empowering them to drop the old stories, wounding & BS to make room for what really matters. She uses a combination of energy healing, mediumship, and compassionate coaching to help clients shed old patterns, and open up to a more purposeful and happy life.
She is passionate about boundaries, potato chips, and cats (not necessarily in that order) ... and the thing she enjoys most in life is authentic human connection. It doesn't need to be pretty ... but it needs to be real. She loves hard, sings poorly, and dances with abandon. Melanie makes it a priority to walk her talk and live the way she teaches — on purpose and with passion.
Here are the main topics that we discuss in today's episode:
Don't rush your process, dare to explore and clear your energy. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!

I am passionate about self-care! Moving and the food I put into my body are two essential pillars for my health. My smoothies are one of the fuels that keep me going, and during these winter months, I do what I call a Naked Shakewhere I just blend one scoop of SUNWARRIOR Classic Protein and a glass of non-dairy milk, coconut, or regular water and blend it, enough to get the protein and hydration my body needs.

2020 has brought hair loss to a massive amount of women, and I include myself in this group. Last year I suffered from hair loss for the first time after childbirth. It impacted me around late July when I started noticing I was losing a lot of hair while washing it. In my case, it was directly caused by stress.
In this episode, I am diving deep into the most common reasons for hair loss, how you can support your hair and scalp health, lifestyle factors, and all you need to know to start the slow process towards healthier hair (Sorry! No quick fixes).
Here are the main topics of today's episode:
I want you to think bigger than supplements and go beyond what is in the bottles. I hope this episode helps you to take a better look at how you are nourishing your body and the shifts in your lifestyle that you can make to not also help your hair but your whole health. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!

I am joined today by Amber Lynn Vitale to talk about the role that certain nutrients play in women's bodies. We especially dive into how to treat iron deficiencies during our reproductive years, pregnancy and beyond. Iron supplements have a terrible reputation since some of them can cause constipation and other uncomfortable symptoms. Listen to today's episode and find what the best ways and times are to consume iron either through your food choices or supplements.
Amber Lynn Vitale, CN, is a Certified Nutritionist in Integrative Nutrition and an Ayurvedic Clinical Consultant. Since early childhood, she has been fascinated with the power of foods, herbs, and dietary supplements to optimize health and, after earning a B.A. in Economics and Russian, she went on to pursue this passion. Since 1996 she has both worked in product retail, and maintained her own wellness practice, often working with doctors and holistic/integrative medical professionals promoting optimum health inside and out. Since 2010 she has reached a wider audience as a freelance content producer for several natural health publications, educating retailers and consumers alike on what quality really means in both foods and supplements. Amber has been a member of the Garden of Life Education team since 2014, continuing her mission by Empowering Extraordinary Health!

I wanted to talk about iron as a supplement. It is difficult to find one that actually increases the level of iron in your body without being hard to digest and cause constipation.
If you have a heavy cycle or you are getting your period often (every 21 to 25 days) this usually doesn't leave enough time for your system to rebuild. My Kind Organics line from Garden of Life is what I have been using for many years. Garden of Life's iron is the first and only certified USDA organic, non-GMO verified liquid plant iron, with an amazing cranberry-lime flavor. There is also B6 and B12 added to it, which is very important for women.
Here is my smoothie recipe for the day!
Blend, add some dark chocolate on top and enjoy!

Welcome to another episode of the Simplicity Project! Today I am having an amazing conversation with Lisa Karandat & Alexa Monahan from Good JuJu. Lisa and Alexa founded Good Juju to inspire and empower people to make small, incremental changes to their daily routine, with the hope that together we can change the world. They spent years working in the natural health industry, and have witnessed the power that pure, natural ingredients have on our health each and every day. They believe that what you put on your body is equally as important as what you put in your body.
They also know that our daily choices matter, on a micro and macro level. For example, they've seen firsthand how beneficial organic farming is not only for the quality of ingredients it produces but also for the quality of the soil and the environment overall. They have also learned how destructive and unnecessary single-use plastics are to our health, the environment, and the future of our planet.
Lisa and Alexa are passionate about natural health, about the environment, and they are passionate about change. They know that the journey to zero waste can feel overwhelming. You may feel like you don't know where to begin, fear you won't do it properly, or that you'll have to sacrifice quality or performance – but none of this is true. As Anne-Marie Bonneau says, "We don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly."
Here are the main topics of this much-needed conversation:
You can make a difference, just take action! Start with the good and you will see how easy it is! Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!

Here is one tip from me to you! I have to confess that I have a couple of days where my digestive system was feeling off, and that is not normal for me. Was it something that I ate? I gave myself time to reflect and realize that I am now creating some exciting new projects and consequently I am not consuming enough food, my creative side tends to overrule my normal eating habits.
I went to my cabinet and took ginger liquid tincture that helps with upset stomach and any digestive issues. I used some fizzy water, stirred out about 50% of the bubbles, added a couple of milliliters of the ginger tincture, and squeezed a little lime in. I sipped on it and in less than 1 hour, felt such a big difference!

Today I am dedicating this episode to talk about fasting. intermittent fasting, juicing, water fasting,and time-restricted feeding. It is not coincidental that I am approaching this topic right after the holidays when women tend to feel that after over-indulging during the festivities they need to take action and do something to bring balance and healing to their bodies.
There is no better time than now to take charge of your health and wellbeing, increasing your energy, and moving towards feeling more present in your body.
Here are the main topics of an episode filled with information and practical tips in regards to fasting:
Hoping this episode has shown you other ways to approach detoxing, respecting the rhythms and processes of your body, and wishing you can put into practice some of these tools to, not only regain balance after the holidays. but to start shifting your daily habits towards a healthier version of yourself. Wishing more simplicity and ease in all that you do!
