One of my favorite 🤩 high protein breakfasts. My absolute favorite cottage cheese. Kalona Supernatural Dairy @kalonasupernatural_milk_dairy Cottage Cheese - almost raw due to very low pasteurization, I’ll usually do like 3/4 cup of the cottage cheese so that gives me 21 grams protein, top with organic blueberries 🫐 and organic raspberries. 2 of my favorite fruits! 🙏🌟 Low glycemic fruits and so good for you in vitamins and nutrients.

I am in love with my new @caraway_home muffin pan. I was getting so frustrated with my old pans, using parchment cups and my egg cups always sticking to the pan and a time consuming mess to clean up. I finally threw those pans away and invested in one of these. I love to make a batch of egg muffin cups on Sundays for some easy high protein breakfast or snacks ideas for the week. They cool perfectly and slide right out. I don’t even have to grease the pan! 🥚🌟☀️🎛️

Magnesium plays many crucial roles in the body, such as supporting muscle and nerve function and energy production. 🍃 Low magnesium levels usually don't cause symptoms. 🥑 However, chronically low levels can increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis. 🍌 Some rich sources of magnesium include bananas, avocados, spinach, nuts and seeds.

Healthy lean body tissue depends upon an adequate supply of high quality protein. 🥚 The protein acts to repair damaged muscle tissue and provide growth factors that improve muscle fiber growth and rejuvenation. 🥩 Although the quantity of protein consumed is important it is much more important to consider the quality of protein. 🍤 Highest quality protein is completely whole and non-denatured. It contains essential vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other natural co-factors. These components are very important for overall amino acid utilization and energy production. 🦞 High-protein diets have also been shown to be helpful with reducing fat, losing weight, increasing satiety, or a feeling of fullness, and retaining muscle. �To download my FREE HEALTHY SHOPPING LIST, see my link in my bio. � �🍅 🥦 🍎 🥒 www.zenagewellness.com

if you do choose to buy organic foods, here are some science-backed bonuses you’re likely to get in return. 🥦 1. Fewer pesticides and heavy metals - Fruits, vegetables and grains labeled organic are grown without the use of most synthetic pesticides or artificial fertilizers. 🍆 2. More healthy fats - When it comes to meat and milk, organic products can have about 50% more omega-3 fatty acids, a type of unsaturated healthy fat, than conventionally produced products, according to a 2016 study in the British Journal of Nutrition. Organic milk tested in the study also had less saturated fat than non-organic. 🥚 3. No antibiotics or synthetic hormones - Organic foods—which are produced without antibiotics—“are intrinsically safer in this respect.” Organic meat and dairy also cannot contain synthetic hormones, which have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. 🍎 4. More antioxidants, in some cases -I n a recent six-year study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, researchers found that organic onions had about a 20% higher antioxidant content than conventionally grown onions. 🥝 Download My FREE HEALTHY SHOPPING LIST - LINK IN MY BIO www.zenagewellness.com

In some ways, winter can offer benefits you don't get in summer. For instance, cold weather may actually improve endurance, In colder temperatures, your heart doesn't have to work as hard, you sweat less, and expend less energy, all of which means you can exercise more efficiently. Studies also have shown that exercising in cold weather can transform white fat, specifically belly and thigh fat, into calorie-burning brown fat. Plus, winter workouts help you get exposure to sunlight, which may help ward off seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression that some people experience during the winter months.

7 Signs of an unhealthy gut Many facets of modern life such as high-stress levels, too little sleep, eating processed and high-sugar foods, and taking antibiotics can all damage our gut microbiome. As a result, you might notice other health issues such as the brain, heart, immune system, skin, weight, hormone levels, and your ability to absorb nutrients. There are many ways an unhealthy gut might manifest itself. Here are seven of the most common signs: 1. Upset stomach - like gas, bloating, and constipation. 2. A high-sugar diet - A diet high in processed foods and added sugars can decrease the number of good bacteria in your gut. 3. Unintentional weight changes - Gaining or losing weight without making changes to your diet or exercise habits may be a sign of an unhealthy gut. 4. Sleep disturbances or constant fatigue - An unhealthy gut may contribute to sleep disturbances such as insomnia or poor sleep, and therefore lead to chronic fatigue. 5. Skin irritation - Skin conditions like eczema may be related to a damaged gut. 6. Autoimmune conditions - An unhealthy gut may increase systemic inflammation and alter the proper functioning of the immune system which can lead to autoimmune diseases, where the body attacks itself rather than harmful invaders. 7. Food intolerances - Food intolerances are the result of difficulty digesting certain foods (this is different than a food allergy, which is caused by an immune system reaction to certain foods). One way to find out if you have gut issues or imbalances is to run an Organic Acid Test which is a urine lab. This can easily be mailed to you at home and done in the privacy of your home. If you would like to learn more, I am happy to do a Free 30-minute consultation with you. Please check the link above how to schedule that FREE call.

5 Proven Clinical Health Benefits of Sauna Use 1. Supercharge your cell power. Heat has been proven to positively impact your mitochondria, the ‘batteries’ powering your cells, which leads to producing more energy and staying fit. 2. Detoxify heavy metals and chemicals. Everyday exposure to potentially toxic heavy metals through a variety of sources means even the most health-conscious people still have toxins in the body. It is amazing that regular sauna bathing helps excrete toxins such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury. Curious what your heavy metal toxicity load is? Contact us for a Heavy Metal Minerals test - an easy Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis lab test you can do from home! 3. A 2018 study found that sauna bathing four to seven times per week reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by as much as 58%. 4. Reduce blood pressure. Sauna heat helps widen blood vessels and improve circulation, which reduces blood pressure. Optimize athletic performance. 5. Ignite your immune system. Heat exposure from sauna use increases the heat shock protein, stimulating antigen-presenting cells, along with releasing cytokine, thus stimulating the body’s natural immune system. www.zenagewellness.com

7 WAYS TO DETOX YOUR MOUTH TONGUE SCRAPING The fastest and easiest way to get those bad bugs out of your mouth is with a tongue scraper. This helps to not only clean the mouth, freshening the breath, but it also stimulates the metabolism as well. OIL PULLING A simple swish and swirl of your favorite oil is the answer to fresher breath, whiter teeth, and a toxin-free body. The practice of oil pulling literally pulls toxins from the oral cavity, which then spits out and cleared from the body. NON-TOXIC TOOTHPASTE Toothpaste is key to maintaining good oral health, acting as an antibacterial, but what type are you choosing? Eliminate Fluoride, Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate, Triclosan, Sodium Hydroxide, and other nasty chemicals. These chemicals are damaging to the body as a whole, and can even reduce the healthy bacteria (probiotics) in the mouth. GREEN TEA Drinking green tea not only protects against radiation, boosts your mineralization, and helps you to lose weight, but it can improve your oral health as well. Research has found that the frequent consumption of green tea may help promote healthy teeth and gums, reducing periodontal disease. ORAL PROBIOTIC We’ve been so focused on balancing the good bacteria in our gut with fermented foods and Kombucha, that we have forgotten all about the mouth! The mouth needs good bacteria too, which is why taking oral probiotics can be extremely beneficial, especially if cavities are a frequent occurrence. The more good bacteria you have, the more of a defense you have against the bad bacteria, reducing the incidence of inflammation and infection. NEEM OIL Neem oil is an ancient remedy used for clearing up infections in the mouth. While the oil does not pleasant taste, it is believed to be valuable in its healing capabilities enough to endure it. Acting as an antibacterial, neem oil can be used to keep the bad oral bacteria from taking over and proliferating. TEA TREE OIL FLOSS There is just no way around it – flossing daily is an integral part of keeping our mouths fresh and clean, so why not add an extra bonus with tea tree oil. A natural disinfectant, tea tree oil reduces bad oral bacteria.

These are some benefits of Detoxing: 🌟Boost Mood: Opens up vitamins and minerals to be used in other areas such as neurotransmitter production. 🌟Lose weight with ease: Improves your body's ability to use blood sugar and burn fat to a far greater degree. 🌟Improve nutrient uptake: By fasting and then easing up on digestion allows your body to improve nutrient absorption. 🌟Autophagy Clean Up Whole Body Healing Happens During Fasted Support 🌟Boosts Energy: Big Secret-You'll feel more energetic when your body is expending less energy! www.zenagewellness.com

How Digestion + Gut Health Impacts Hair Health Hair loss is a really traumatizing experience. Not only is it stressful to lose a significant amount of hair, but it can also be a wake-up call to listen to the messages your body is sending. For a lot of people, this is the trigger that puts them on a path to taking better care of themselves. 3 Common Causes of Hair Loss 1. Nutrient Deficiencies 🌟 Maybe you're missing key nutrients in your diet. Or maybe you’re eating healthy, but your digestive function is impaired so you’re not absorbing enough of the nutrients you need for healthy hair. It's not just about what you eat, it's what you absorb. 2. Inflammation 🌟 Systemic inflammation can stem from many places, creating hormone imbalances that increase hair loss. It's important to focus on the foundations: sleep, blood sugar, stress management, nutrition, and gut health to manage inflammation. Addressing the root cause of inflammation usually means diet and lifestyle changes, not just adding a turmeric supplement. 3. Stress Response 🌟 Stressful and traumatic events can trigger hair loss up to 3 months later. Experiencing hair loss during or after a period of increased stress is common, and can take months to improve. Stress can also be internal, related to over-exertion or imbalances in the body. If your hair loss isn't tied to emotional stress, consider physical stress. To learn more, contact Dawn at www.zenagewellness.com Through Functional Medicine Lab Testing, we are able to discover what your health and root cause issues might be.

There are several physical conditions that can be impacted by stress. Some common issues include muscle tension, headaches, heartburn, increased blood pressure, rapid breathing, and insomnia. When stress is more chronic, more serious issues can occur, such as type 2 diabetes, heart attack, strokes, weakened immune systems (and subsequently more infections), and fertility problems. Chronic stress can also impact behaviors such as alcohol consumption and overeating, which may lead to more problems.

The top 8 benefits of swimming 1. Full body workout. Swimming uses all the muscles in the body so whether you swim a gentle breaststroke or hammer butterfly, you will get a full-body workout. 🌊 2. Great for general wellbeing. Just 30 minutes of swimming three times a week alongside a balanced, healthy diet and lifestyle are one of the best ways to stay fit and healthy and maintain a positive mental outlook. 🌊 3. De-stresses and relaxes. Whether it’s work stressing you out, the kids being a nightmare, or just life in general, we all get times we just want to SCREAM. 🌊 4. Burns those calories. Swimming is one of the most effective ways to burn calories. A gentle swim can burn over 200 calories in just half an hour, more than double that of walking. 🌊 5. Lowers the risk of diseases. As well as being a great form of cardiovascular exercise, swimming just 30 minutes a week can help to guard against heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. 🌊 6. Supports the body. Water supports up to 90 percent of the body’s weight. So if you sprained an ankle at Monday night football or have a long-term injury or illness, swimming is a brilliant way to stay active. 🌊 7. Increases your energy levels. Inactivity and not aging is often responsible for people’s lack of energy. Just 30 minutes of swimming three times per week can boost your energy levels through increased metabolic rate. 🌊 8. Exercising without sweat. If sweating puts you off other forms of exercise, fear not!

Studies show working at home with your pets can help to reduce stress. Even a few minutes of quality time with a dog or cat can have therapeutic benefits, alleviating anxiety and even lowering your pressure. 😽 Spending time with animals can increase our immune functioning, lower heart rate, and blood pressure, and decrease pain. 🦮 On an emotional level, interactions with animals can help to decrease loneliness, increase happiness, calm anxiety, ease social discomfort, and reduce the emotional pain. 🙂 In fact, researchers at Washington State University recently found that petting a dog or cat for 10 minutes can significantly reduce cortisol (your body’s main stress hormone). 🌟 www.zenagewellness.com

Weight-loss goals can mean the difference between success and failure. Realistic, well-planned weight-loss goals keep you focused and motivated. They provide a plan for change as you transition to a healthier lifestyle. 🍃 Not all weight-loss goals are helpful. Unrealistic and overly aggressive weight-loss goals can undermine your efforts. 🍃 Focus on process goals 🍃 Goals for weight loss can focus on outcomes or the process. An outcome goal — what you hope to achieve in the end — might be to lose a certain amount of weight. While this goal may give you a target, it doesn't address how you will reach it. 🍃 A process goal is a necessary step to achieving the desired outcome. For example, a process goal might be 🍃 *To eat five servings of fruits or vegetables a day * To walk 30 minutes a day * Or to drink water at every meal. 💦 Process goals may be particularly helpful for weight loss because you focus on changing behaviors and habits that are necessary for losing weight. 🍃 Many times weight loss is hampered by underlying health issues. That is where Functional Medicine Lab Testing can be helpful. If you are curious to learn more about your underlying weight loss issues, feel free to contact @zenagewellness to schedule a FREE Discovery Call.

Reducing stress in multiple ways will surely reflect on your health through lower blood pressure and other stress level indicators. 3. Increased Productivity Studies show that working from home has many increased productivity benefits. In this case, instead of fretting over the fact that your pet may need some attention or that you’re late getting home to walk your dog, you can actually be on-site and monitor your pets as a work-from-home employee. 4. More Hugs and Exercise If you’re a dog or cat owner, you can expect frequent visits from your pet while you’re working at home. These furry breaks allow you to connect with your pet more frequently, which has added health benefits for both you and your pet. If you’re not a furry pet owner, watching a fish swim can also give you the centering breaks needed during the day. 5. More Time for Grooming and Appointments The time you save as a work-from-home professional by not commuting can be spent on your pet. Use this extra time to properly groom your pet or get them to their regularly scheduled vet appointments in a timely manner. 6. Animal Care Savings There are many cost savings associated with working from home with your pet. You’ll have a more limited need for doggy daycare and won’t need to pay a dog walker. www.zenagewellness.com

Eating a healthy diet is not about strict limitations, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, improving your health, and boosting your mood. Healthy eating doesn’t have to be overly complicated. If you feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition and diet advice out there, you’re not alone. It seems that for every expert who tells you a certain food is good for you, you’ll find another saying exactly the opposite. Eating food that is as close as possible to the way nature made it can make a huge difference to the way you think, look, and feel. Www.zenagewellness.com

We experience things like: ☀Racing thoughts ☀Anxiety ☀Rumination over problems and worries ☀Depression ☀Sleep problems, which aggravates mental health conditions Try these tips for creating downtime: ☀Make it easy. Have a "play box" handy, full of things to de-stress: coloring books, cards, books, etc. ☀Give yourself permission. It can be hard to have downtime because we value our goals. Making tangible goals for having downtime will help you see the worth in taking breaks. ☀Schedule it into your day, and set an alarm to remind you that it's time to pamper your brain.
