Foundations…

Did you know that Nutritional Therapy is more than just looking at the food you’re eating? Are you curious why your nutritional therapy practitioner is asking you about how well you sleep? Here at Our Well Nourished Roots we focus on a nutrient dense diet but also blood sugar regulation, digestion, stress and sleep habits. It’s all connected and it all impacts your overall gut health. And your gut health impacts your overall health!

What are the foundations I mentioned? Nutrient dense diet, sleep, stress management, blood sugar regulation, and digestion. If even one of these foundations is out of balance, everything is slowly impacted.

A nutrient dense diet is eating whole, minimally processed foods to include quality proteins, fat, and colorful produce. Organic and local are generally better.

Do you know what happens when you sleep? Why is sleep important? When you’re sleeping your body is hard at work! Detoxification, hormone regulation, healing and repair all happens while you’re asleep. If you aren’t sleeping and allowing these things to happen, an imbalance can occur. Are you waking up during the night? Your body might be trying to tell you something important.

We all have stress, internal stress and external stress are a part of life but how you manage the stressors can have a big impact on how well your body can regulate your blood sugar, how well you sleep and how well your digestion works.

Blood sugar regulation can influence sleep, energy, mood, hormone production and more! How well is your body processing the sugar it receives from the foods you're eating? Are you on a constant blood sugar roller coaster?

Optimal digestion is important! How well can your body digest food, absorb the necessary nutrients and eliminate the waste products? You can have the perfect diet, the best exercise routine and neither will matter if you aren’t digesting your food properly.

When we work together we’ll look at the foundations and explore how we can improve your overall health! I address the foundations with every client but every protocol will look different. I recognize that not everyone will need the same things, this isn’t a one size fits all program. It’s dedication and hard work but as Coach David would say, hard work, pays off.
