Moms for Wellness - Top 5 Nutrient Deficiencies Linked to ADHD
play

03/06/23 • 19 min

Did you know your child's symptoms of ADHD are drastically affected by their various nutrient levels? Do you know the power that eating has on your child's health? Do you know what nutrient deficiencies to look for and why?

Today we are focusing exclusively on our kiddos (although what we are talking about can definitely affect adults in your family too!)...today we are talking about ADHD – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD is the most commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental disorder in the United States, with estimates that 11% of American children have the disorder.

Sooo, chances are, you either have someone in your house that has ADHD or you know someone who does. If you know someone who does, you are definitely going to want to share this episode with them...this is golden info I am sharing today. It could be life changing for them.

I’m not going into the symptoms or anything like that...today we are talking about the 5 most common nutrient deficiencies in children that have ADHD. There are all kinds of studies out there backing up all the info I am sharing today...we just got off a series about superfoods and all the many important nutrients they give us...those minerals and nutrients are really important...and when our bodies do not have the right amount of various vitamins and minerals, they don’t function optimally.

My hope is that it will become your first reaction to think abut what imbalances could be in the body and look to correct that, rather than look to medicine first. And this goes for whatever the ailment or sickness may be. I’m curious, have you even heard of this? Have you heard about nutrient deficiencies either being the cause of or contributing to worse symptoms of ADHD?

If not, then listen up...because here we go!

Moms for Wellness - Why are they Superfoods? Fruit Edition
play

02/20/23 • 11 min

So we hear a lot about Superfoods, right? But what are they?

And why are they even called “Super” What makes them super?

Well, I’m glad you asked, because today we are doing a mini episode devoted to just that! After being inspired by Brandy and her healing through food, this seems an appropriate next step! So this is going to be a short and sweet episode...we are going to focus on fruits today...this will be part one of our mini series entitled, “Why are they superfoods?”

A Word of Warning: There is controversy! (of course! LOL)

So, let’s explain what super foods are considered to be.

Simply put, Superfoods are nutritional powerhouses. Superfoods are foods that have a very high nutritional density...they are extremely high in micronutrients like vitamins and minerals and are packed with fiber, as well as antioxidants, enzymes and health fats like omega-3 fatty acids. All of these nutrients are essential to your body so you can thrive. And on top of that, Super foods boost the immune system, help prevent anti-aging, and are linked to the prevention of disease.

Today we cover a few Superfood Fruits...including blueberries, grapefruit and a few others!

So, it’s summertime, it’s hot outside and the sun is blazing full force.

You know you need to wear sunscreen for yourself and your kids and here you find yourself staring at a wall of sunscreens.

Who knew there were so many choices?! How the heck do you know what to choose?

Did you know that many of those sunscreens are filled with harmful chemicals? There are many toxic chemicals in sunscreens that are on the shelves of your local drugstore or grocery store.

I am here to help you wade through the sea of sunscreens and help you make an educated decision that you can feel good about your decision.

8 No-No Ingredients in Sunscreen:

  1. Oxybenzone (Benzophenone)
  2. Octinoxate
  3. PABA
  4. Homosalate
  5. Octocrylene
  6. Octisalate
  7. Avobenzone
  8. Benzene

2 Ok Ingredients in Sunscreen:

Moms for Wellness - Does the food you eat really affect your health?
play

06/30/23 • 15 min

Does the food you eat really affect your health?

I don’t know if people are in denial or they simply don’t want to know how much food really does affect them...but I will tell you right now, up front, yes, food does in fact affect your health...and in very dramatic ways. And it is our role as moms to teach our children...to lead them in creating healthy habits.

To help them understand the relationship...the connection between the foods they eat and the health of their body... the connection between the foods they eat and how they feel.

So this is my little message to you, mamas! My encouragement to you to keep on leading your family in healthy habits because it will have a lifetime of repercussions...and even generational repercussions!

One of the biggest things for us is to understand that the way we are feeling is NOT the way we ought to be feeling. I didn’t realize that I wasn’t supposed to be feeling bloated and gassy and uncomfortable all the time. Listen, Indigestion, bloating, cramping....you name it...these are sooo so common in the general American public....and it is not supposed to be part of the normal everyday human experience.

It’s due to a lot of things....but one of the biggest culprits is the foods that we are eating.

Sooo, if we can teach our kids while they are young that there is, in fact, a direct relationship between what we eat and how we feel – our overall health, they will be better off over the long haul.

Gut health is SO important!!
