Signs you may be gluten intolerant

Gluten free is not just a "fad" and having to cut out gluten is a very real thing for many people, including myself!

If you have any of the following symptoms it could be a sign that you have gluten intolerance:

1. Digestive issues such as gas, bloating, diarrhea and even constipation.

2. Keratosis Pilaris, (also known as ‘chicken skin’ on the back of your arms). This tends be as a result of a fatty acid deficiency and vitamin A deficiency secondary to fat-malabsorption caused by gluten damaging the gut.

3. Fatigue, brain fog or feeling tired after eating a meal that contains gluten.

4. Diagnosis of an autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ulcerative colitis, Lupus, Psoriasis, Scleroderma or Multiple sclerosis.

5. Neurologic symptoms such as dizziness or feeling of being off balance.

6. Hormone imbalances such as PMS, PCOS or unexplained infertility.

7. Migraine headaches.

8. Diagnosis of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. These diagnoses simply indicate your conventional doctor cannot pin point the cause of your fatigue or pain.

9. Inflammation, swelling or pain in your joints such as fingers, knees or hips.

10. Mood issues such as anxiety, depression, mood swings and ADD.

The best way to see if your body has an issue with it is by simply taking it away. This was the method I used. Take it out of your diet for at least 2 to 3 weeks and then reintroduce it. Please note that gluten is a very large protein and it can take months and even years to clear from your system so the longer you can eliminate it from your diet before reintroducing it, the better. 

For me, after taking it out for a couple weeks then trying it again, I had immediate tiredness, brain fog for the rest of the day and a bloated tummy! So for me, I knew it was best to just stay gluten free. I definitely feel better and my brain fog I used to have on a daily basis is clearing up!

Here is my story as of 4 years in, I am almost at my 6th year anniversary      

Love The Skin You're In

As a woman and a mom of 3 I know what it's like to be so hard on how you view your body. You nit pick every little flaw. You long to look like someone else. You wish babies didn't mean stretch marks and saggy skin in places. For me, after 3 C-sections, you wish the scar wasn't there.

I know what it's like to be so FRUSTRATED and DEPRESSED with your body. 6 years ago I was a miserable mess. I had NO clothes, no self confidence, I wouldn't even leave my house anymore with my family, it was that bad.

I was exhausted and I needed something NOW!  I didn’t love my skin, I didn’t feel good and I had to make a change.  I was introduced to clean eating, Beachbody at home workouts, and Shakeology for the first time through a friend on Facebook.  I was so mortified of my body I didn't even let my husband take my "before" photos.

I joined a support and accountability group because I was at a loss for how to change.  I didn’t have the money to go to the gym, to get a trainer, a nutritionist and pay for childcare.  But I did have a living room I could work out in when the girls napped, a dvd to play the workouts on and the 100% drive and determination to change.  

Over the course of those next several months I focused on “ME” for at least 45 minutes each day.  I would put the girls down for a nap and workout. Or I'd wait till bedtime. Sometimes I just had to put them in a bouncy chair while I worked out.

I sweated, I cried, I thought I would never change, but then right before my eyes my body started to change.  As I embraced clean eating and drank shakeology daily my skin began to glow, my hair and nails got stronger, and I had more natural energy to keep up with my kids.  I was stronger and I started to have more confidence. Family and friends were starting to notice changes. I went from not being able to do ONE sit up or push up to doing several. I was getting stronger by the day! I LOVED how I was feeling. Loved how I could see the depression and frustration melt away with each workout.  

I can say that because of my coach, the support of the challenge group and the other women in the group I truly have found a way to love the skin that I am in!  It’s never going to be my pre baby skin but hey I earned those stretch marks and scars!  I earned my imperfections and I learned to love them! They are a part of who I am.

So now, my job as a coach is to pay it forward.  I am going to be launching a specific accountability and support group that is geared towards matching you up and with a fitness program and nutrition guide to meet your needs but to walk you through the process of changing your unhealthy habits, creating a more positive mindset, embracing your imperfections and chucking the word diet to the wind.  We are not dieting, we are creating a healthy lifestyle.

Check it out! Me "before" about 6 months after my 2nd daughter was born. Then 6 months later, abs after 2 C-sections!!! Crazy ain't it?!

What Do I Need For This Group?
-Each participant is required to have me as their coach.  You can create an account here. If you have a coach already, please get with them!

-You are required to do a Beachbody fitness program, which I will help you to pick the one that best fits your needs.

-You are required to replace 1 meal a day with Shakeology for the duration of the 6 weeks because as I am teaching you how to change your eating habits and give you the tools to make this a lifestyle change we want to have at least 1 meal each day that is quick and easy but isn't lacking in your nutritional quality.  Shakeology does that!  It is my saving grace because quite honestly there are days that I am so busy that I don't have time to make a balanced meal so this is my go to!!!  Plus it really does taste awesome!  

-You are required to log into our online closed Facebook group daily where I am going to share tips, recipes, meal plans, & support/motivation.

-My goal is to get you a program that you are excited about and that you start and complete it. I do not want it to be something that sits on your shelf and collects dust!  

Does this sound like something you would like to do?

If so, take the time to complete the application below.  I will contact you within 24 hours to discuss whether this would be a good fit!  I am accepting a small group of customers for this group and I would love to have some motivated women who are really ready to make a change!  Lets face it, there will never be a perfect time.  The right time is now!  So lets get started!  

I am NOT going to let you fail!  I am giving you my word that I am going to support, guide and help you to truly make a change, live a more positive life and embrace who you are on the inside out!  We live in a world full of comparison and its time to chuck that to the wind and just BE YOU!!

1 head(s) (medium) uncooked cauliflower

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste

1/2 teaspoon table salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

2. Cut cauliflower florets into bite-sized pieces (there should be about 4 cups). Place cauliflower in a medium bowl and add cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper; toss well to coat.

Beef Bone Broth Recipe

Whether or not you partake in the trend of sipping a mug of bone broth for its numerous health benefits, or you just want a delicious base for soups and to add flavor to whole grains, this recipe is a great place to start. Don’t be put off by the long cooking time, the pot can simmer unwatched for hours or even overnight with a very low flame (as long as you’re comfortable with this and follow all necessary safety precautions). You can even use a slow-cooker! The result is a large quantity of marvelously flavorful broth that tastes great on it’s own and can be used in any recipe that calls for broth.

Money-Saving Tip: When you’re chopping vegetables for any recipe, collect the ends of onions, celery, carrots, and leeks in a bag and store in the freezer. Save leftover chicken bones (or beef bones) in a separate bag. When you have enough, make bone broth! You don’t need the full 5 lbs. of bones called for in this recipe. If you have fewer bones and vegetables, just reduce the amount water accordingly.

Beef Bone Broth

Total Time: 12 hr. 20 min.
Prep Time: 20 min.
Cooking Time: 12 hr.
Yield: approximately 2½ to 3 quarts, or 40 ¼ cup servings

Ingredients:
5 lbs. beef back (or neck) bones (or chicken carcasses or lamb bones)
¼ cup apple cider vinegar (or fresh lemon juice)
2 medium onions, cut into quarters (or 2 leeks, coarsely chopped)
2 medium carrots, coarsely chopped
4 medium celery stalk ends, coarsely chopped
2 to 3 bay leaves
1 Tbsp. black peppercorns
Cold water

Preparation:
1. Place bones, vinegar, onions, carrots, celery, bay leaves, and peppercorns in a large stock pot.
2. Add enough water to cover bone mixture by 1 to 2 inches, leaving room at the top of the pan. Cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat; gently boil for 1 hour. Remove any meat left on bones. Set meat aside for future use.
3. Return bones to a gentle boil for 2 to 24 hours, or until bones crumble and look bleached. (Gently boil chicken bones for 6 to 12 hours, or until they crumble.)
4. Skim off any foam that develops during cooking.
5. Strain liquid using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
6. Use broth immediately or refrigerate for up to three days.

Tips:
• Bones can be roasted for 30 to 60 minutes before boiling. This caramelizes the bones and gives the broth even better flavor.
• Bone broth can be cooled and frozen.
• Save any fat from the broth. It is highly nutritious and can be used to roast vegetables or make soups.
