I unintentionally took a little break from social media for about 2 weeks and I have to say, I definitely needed it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The first week of January I spent every day in the sunshine and salt water soaking it all up before coming back to cold Canada. If you didn’t already know, I do not like the cold, I love the hot hot heat! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Spending a week with my partner’s family in Barbados was exactly what I needed to start 2020 off, I had a lot of realizations while I was away and it was very eye opening. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know we hear it all the time, but life is too short to be stressed out by the small things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Life is too short not to chase your dreams, ask for what you want, take a risk. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Life is too short not to tell your loved one’s you love them. Every. Day. Pick up the phone, send a text, write a letter, send them a DM. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m sure you’ve also heard this but I will tell you again, YOU are in control of your own life. You get to make the decisions. You get to control how you feel about something. You can make a change. You can make an impact. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Make a conscious effort every day to make your life what you want it to be. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In 2020 I am going to be constantly reminding myself that I am in control of my own life and I get to make all the decisions.
When I work with women to balance their hormones, diet is the main foundation that I work on. I believe that balancing blood sugar is ESSENTIAL. Being Vegetarian for the past 12 years, I had a lot of carbs in my diet which contributed to some hormonal imbalances. Over the past year I transitioned to a pescatarian diet focusing more on a paleo style of eating (lower grains, gluten and dairy), which really helped when I was transitioning off the BCP. Making the switch to (mostly) gluten free, dairy and grain free is pretty easy nowadays, there are so many great options out there! I know a lot of my clients worry because they love the quick, easy and convenient foods, like pasta and bread, but there are great gluten free, low carb options out there now!
I am currently going through a Fertility & Preconception Prep course to increase my knowledge on fertility & women's health and I'm learning a lot of interesting stats!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Studies show that if you're on the pill for more than 10 years, it can cause infertility or significantly decrease chances of getting pregnant. Since I was on the BCP for 11 years, fertility has always been an area of interest of mine.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are some stats you might not know about infertility:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - 11.5% to 15.7% of Canadian couples have infertility (1 in every 6 couples). This number has doubled since the 1980s.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - 30% can be due to the man, 40% can be due to the woman, 20% can be a mix of male & female infertility and 10% can be due to unknown causes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - In the US there was a 65% increase in IVF treatment since 2003⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ - Nearly 7 million American men & women experienced infertility & needed help with assisted fertility treatment
What I've loved most about these last couple weeks & the holidays:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Spending time with friends & family (lots of games & laughs)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Being present and in the moment ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Spending less time on social media and more time reading (currently reading: Beyond the Pill)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Watching everyone's face when they opened up their gifts⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Spending less time stressing and more time being grateful⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -All the cooking & baking⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Not stressing about food & enjoying some treats here and there⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Reading all the lovely Thank You emails from my clients ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Watching all the Bon Appetit Test Kitchen videos on Youtube in my downtime⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Celebrating the Birthdays of my 3 best friends (somehow all my besties & both my parents are Capricorn’s which is typically not a match with Leo’s)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Setting aside time for self care ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ -Spending some time working & planning for the future of my business (I did take a lot of time off but I love what I do so I did do some work!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although the majority of 2019 was really challenging and pushed me to all my limits physically, mentally and emotionally, the end of the year has really been great. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am definitely looking forward to 2020, especially since I'll be starting 2020 off in Barbados! ☀️
So there are usually two types of people: those who like leftovers and those who don't. I definitely love leftovers and with the holidays there have been so many leftovers, my dream!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This Christmas Eve we did a giant King Crab feast, usually we do it on New Years Eve but I will be missing it this year (for the first time ever) so we managed to have the feast on Christmas Eve. With the leftover crab meat I decided to do a low carb pasta with butter, garlic and delicious king crab (optional: parmesan cheese on top!) (also optional: a nice glass of white wine to compliment the seafood) 🥂
Merry Christmas to my friends, family, clients & anyone who follows me that celebrates Christmas! 🎄✨
