Healthier Habits Coach

Snacking doesn’t have to be synonymous with unhealthy choices. With a little planning and creativity you can enjoy snacks that not only tantalize your taste buds but also nourish your body. Whether you’re rushing between meetings, running errands, or simply need a quick pick-me-up, these healthy snack ideas are designed to keep you energized and satisfied without compromising your health goals. Let’s explore some wholesome and convenient snack ideas for your busy lifestyle:
Nut and Seed Mix:
1. Create your personalized mix of nuts and seeds for a crunchy and satisfying snack. Almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds are rich in healthy fats and provide a good dose of energy.
2. Greek Yogurt Parfait:
Layer Greek yogurt with fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of granola. This parfait is a delightful blend of protein, probiotics, and antioxidants – perfect for a quick and nourishing snack.
3. Veggie Sticks with Hummus:
Chop colorful veggies like carrots, cucumber, and bell peppers and pair them with a serving of hummus. This combination is not only tasty but also a great way to sneak in your daily dose of vegetables.
4. Apple Slices with Nut Butter:
Slice up an apple and pair it with your favorite nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew). The combination of fiber and healthy fats makes for a satisfying and nutritious snack.
5. Hard-Boiled Eggs:
Prepare a batch of hard-boiled eggs in advance for a protein-packed snack. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper or add a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.

Just stumbled upon this eye-opening article in Scientific American about why most diets fail and actually lead to gaining more weight! Turns out, it's the dreaded "what the heck effect” 🤦‍♀️
Here's the gist: Trying to overhaul your entire lifestyle overnight often backfires. No more treats, no more carbs, intense workouts... And guess what? Restriction leads to rebellion.
Have you ever experienced something like this?
I help my clients embrace balance instead of extremes. A cookie won't undo your progress, and a salad won’t cancel out a super stressful schedule. It's all about finding that sweet spot. 🍪💪

The first time I noticed my ears were itchy and felt like they had water in them, I didn’t think it was a big deal. But then it got so bad it would wake me up at night.

I felt hopeless because it seemed like nobody could figure out what was wrong with me. They just kept saying I was “fine", "don't see anything". Here's another allergy medicine to try.

Diabesity - No. 5: Maximize Detoxification
Over the last few years, scientists have uncovered an unexpected fact: Environmental toxins make you fat and cause diabetes. We have found that environmental toxins interfere with blood sugar and cholesterol metabolism, and cause insulin resistance. One of the key mechanisms that leads to insulin resistance and diabesity is when toxins block the function of very important receptors on the nuclei of your cells, receptors that are critical for optimal insulin function and blood-sugar control. Scientists have shown that toxins cause increases in glucose, cholesterol and fatty liver, and slow down your thyroid function. They also may cause an increase in appetite and problems with brain signals that control hunger. This is no longer something that can be ignored: Toxins make you fat and cause diabesity, and they must be addressed in any treatment program for diabesity.
Read Mark Hyman's complete article here:

United States of Diabesity One in two Americans is suffering from diabesity, and most of them don’t even know it. Why? Because most doctors are not trained to treat the single biggest chronic disease in America. The good news? Diabesity can be prevented, treated and reversed. Dr. Mark Hyman explains how.

So true!
