Fermentation is the reaction that takes place when bacteria or yeast is used to break down a food. This process encourages essential “good bacteria” to flourish. What does this mean for you? These “good bacteria” aka probiotics promote a healthy balance of bacteria to optimize our immune system and digestive health. Since the bacteria...

Your gut and your brain have a unique ability to communicate to your nervous system, your immune system and your hormones (commonly known as the gut-brain connection) This also means that the state of your gut also plays a big role in your mood (and your mood can also affect your gut). Did you...
So what is the deal with artificial sweeteners? I cannot stress enough how important the quality of what we put into our body is when it comes to our metabolism, gene function and overall health. Almost everything we eat has the potential to alter the microbes in our gut, where more than 70% of...

Liver stagnation/excess toxins within the body, disrupting oil balance 6. Digestive issues 7. Vitamin/mineral deficiencies 8. Hormonal imbalances 9. Lack of sleep 10. Chemical ridden skin care products If you are looking...
It can be difficult to stay healthy while travelling constantly. You’re likely adjusting to a new time zone, being exposed to new environments, different schedules and eating most meals out. I think the biggest thing to understand is that – while you’re travelling, it’s still very much real life and everything you do (or...
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin, meaning it can’t be produced by the body. 1. It works to boost the immune system by helping white blood cells function better. 2. It’s great for reducing overall stress, as it allows the body to optimally clear out excess cortisol (primary stress hormone) 3. It increases nutrient availability...

I personally think the quality of your immune system is something we should always be working towards strengthening (not just in “cold and flu season”) as it solely relies on having good physical and mental health. Providing your body with quality nutrition, supplementing where necessary, getting regular movement in, getting quality rest and being in...
Burn outs are real, and chronic stress can wreck havoc on your life. Your health is about as much (or more) mental than it is physical – and I think it’s so important for everyone to have the knowledge about the tools they could use to improve their lives. 6 things you should be...
You likely need to focus on your liver and gut health (which may mean chilling on the coffee and alcohol for a little bit) The liver is your largest internal organ and it plays a key role in the detoxification processes within the body. Not only is it a large filter, but it also plays...
Out of all of the excuses I’ve heard on why people can’t lose weight (I think I’ve heard almost all of them) – “Due to _________, I have to eat out at restaurants often” is one of the most common ones. Trust me when I say, it’s totally possible to eat out and still...
With all the misinformation and different opinions out there, unless you know anything about bio-chemistry, it can certainly get confusing. When choosing an oil to cook with, you want to look at: 1. The smoke point (the temperature at which an oil begins to smoke) 2. The extraction method (I recommend looking for pressed/cold-pressed...
Like any supplement, timing is everything. When it comes to taking a probiotic supplement – I personally take my @genuinehealth advanced gut heath probiotics alongside a meal (vs in the morning or night on an empty stomach) to get the most out of my probiotic. Why? Consuming your probiotics with food offers a buffer...
The healthiest diet shouldn’t focus on restriction – but rather consistency and sustainability. I will never recommend a diet that instills a mindset of restriction – as this almost always leads to frustration, a lack of consistency, an unhealthy relationship with food and a whole lot of added stress (which is why most conventional...
If you are experiencing digestive issues with your whey protein, I highly recommend switching to a plant-based protein (void of soy). Whey protein powders can cause digestive distress due to the fact that many people are sensitive/allergic to dairy. If you are experiencing significant digestive distress, there is a lot more that is likely...
