Renew, Rejuvenate, Restore

by LOLO MIND BODY SOUL, posted in Health

Fall is around the corner and every year at this time I feel the need to “Cleanse”. The cool crisp air in the mornings,  all the pretty foliage, new school year for the kids, it’s time for this Mama to recharge. Yes, I actually get excited about it! It’s a time for change and change is good.

For some its the springtime that entices them to cleanse and detoxify but for me, there is something about the Fall. Fall is the time for natural transition. Its about awareness, slowing down and restoring the body.  Its a great time to eat warmer foods that nurture the body and comfort the soul. Also with the cold and flu season approaching its a good way to boost your immune system.

This day in age cleansing is vital to our health.  With all the toxins and stimulants in our food, environment, cosmetics, personal care, cleaning products, medications, etc, our bodies are overloaded and have a difficult time ridding all this junk.  Too many toxins in the body can lead to excess weight, low energy, trouble sleeping, stress,  headaches, adrenal fatigue, aches and pains and low immunity and other health issues.  A cleanse allows the body to detox and renew on a cellular level. It’s like pushing the reset button.

Emotional release is also another benefit to cleansing. Emotions like anger, sadness, anxiety, and depression can arise during this time causing you to address the root cause.  When emotions are stored in the body it can creates physical symptoms and toxic energy. This allows your energy to flow more freely. Most people tend to feel happier, less stressed and free spirited after.

Cleansing aids in a stronger physical and emotional metabolism, self awareness, increased energy, healthier eating habits, glowing skin, and a healthier rejuvenated you! Whats not to love?

If your are looking for a good cleanse or curious about the one I will be doing, feel free to contact me. 

I’m looking forward to hitting the reset button. Join me on my journey….

Food Cravings, a deeper meaning behind them

by LOLO MIND BODY SOUL, posted in Health

Quite often I hear, “If I could stop craving sugar I’d be fine” or “Its the carbs that get me” and “Once I start eating the sweets, I can’t stop”.  We’ve all had cravings from time to time and for some more often than others. We know that diet can play a big role in food cravings. But did you know there is a deeper meaning to why one craves certain foods? Our bodies have a unique and powerful wisdom and it’s time we start listening.

Here is a great article about food cravings and what they can teach you.

Whenever I speak to people about what I do, they are always intrigued by “Eating Psychology” and how it can relate to health.  So I thought I would post about this first.

What is Eating Psychology?

Often times, eating challenges and health challenges are connected to work, money issues, relationships, family, intimacy, life stress and so much more. By working on the places more relevant and personal to you, success is easily achieved. Mind Body Nutrition advances the practice of clinical nutrition by exploring the psychophysiology of how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs impact nutritional metabolism and health.  It goes far beyond classic nutrition by focusing on the fascinating connections between the brain, and the body, and behavior.

Simply put, WHAT we eat is only half of the story of good nutrition. The other half is who we are as eaters. Mind Body Nutrition reveals how stress physiology, the relaxation response, breathing, awareness, pleasure, meal timing and much more, influence digestion, and calorie burning. And, it offers practical results oriented strategies for the most commonly seen health issues of our times.

Eating Psychology is an empowering and transformational approach that is designed for anyone who eats. Each one of us has a fascinating and ever changing relationship with food. Eating Psychology concerns the primary importance of this relationship. Our relationship with food often mimics our relationship with life. It also affirms that our relationship with food has important lessons to teach us if we choose to listen.

Eating Psychology is a place where we can fully explore some of the personal dimensions that impact food, weight, and various health related concerns.

What is your relationship with food like? Is it similar to your relationship with life?
