The Power of the Mind 🧠✨ Have you heard of t

The Power of the Mind 🧠✨
Have you heard of the milkshake study? Researchers gave participants a high-calorie “indulgent” or low-calorie “sensible” milkshake however the participants were blinded to their *true* assignment and told it was either an indulgent or a sensible shake. Researchers then measured participants’ ghrelin at various time points. (Ghrelin is a hormone made in the gut that stimulates food intake, fat deposition, and the release of growth hormone.)
Fascinatingly, participants ghrelin level matched the LABEL 🏷️ of their shake (indulgent or sensible) NOT whether they had actually consumed the high or low-calorie shake. This is the power of the mind at work!

The real heroes 🦸‍♀️ If you’re looking

If you’re looking for a list of foods to start incorporating or emphasizing in your week, start here! 🍣🍳🥩🥦🥬🌱🫐🍓

We simply cannot replicate the synergy of these nutrient-packed foods with supplements. Nutrients travel together in purposeful ways that increase their absorption and utilization in the body.

Were you surprised 5 of the 8 were protein-rich meat/fish/eggs? Animal and fish protein sources provide a *host* of vitamins & minerals in their most bioavailable forms (ie: readily used by the body) and in the greatest quantity compared to plants. Traditional cultures prized and prioritized foods like organ meat for couples planning to conceive and children knowing the importance of these nutrient-filled foods. Plants are important too but an omnivorous balance is key. Whether we’re talking about children’s nutrition or adults, these foods are worth seeking.

Don’t feel well when you increase your protein intake? It’s most likely not protein’s fault! We can assess and remedy the underlying reasons *why* you may not tolerate a higher protein intake well.

Nutrient Status & Fertility ✨ Iodine is just one

Nutrient Status & Fertility ✨
Iodine is just one of the many nutrients that is *essential* for hormone health and fertility. Functional medicine and nutrition are a fantastic consideration for women looking to optimize their fertility (or hormone health in general.) We offer micronutrient testing paired with a personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation plan tailored to each woman’s needs. (Fun fact: the nutritional status of the father is just as important as that of the mother, and we can help them too at Resilient Roots!)

The health and function of our cells and tissues r

The health and function of our cells and tissues rely on adequate nutrition.
One of the best things we can do to increase the nutrient density of someone’s way of eating, is to ensure they’re consuming adequate, high-quality protein with each meal. This is not to say a variety of colorful plant matter isn’t incredibly important and helpful, it just cannot replace the nutrient gaps left by a low protein way of eating. Have you tried increasing your protein and what was your experience? 💬
