Nutritional Health: Gut Health & Key Nutrients
What do food sensitivities, rheumatoid arthritis, and anxiety all have in common? These various conditions have all been associated with impaired gastrointestinal health or nutritional deficiencies.

Eating a healthier diet (meaning a balanced and anti-inflammatory diet) can definitely help transform our health in a significant way. Seek to understand and implement a balanced anti-inflammatory way of life.

Beyond the healthy basics - Some of us may have bothersome symptoms related to poor gut health or some of us have nutritional deficiencies that need to be explored. Poor gut health and nutrition deficiencies can affect our weight loss efforts, energy levels, sleep patterns, mood, and motivation.

Physical Health: The Importance of Recovery
Physical activity and exercise are essential for our health because it helps to keep our bodies run optimally, improves mood, increases metabolic efficiency, and lowers our risk for many conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders. However, overtraining can lead to injuries, autoimmune conditions, and a dysregulation of the immune system and metabolism.

Physical Health: Gratitude
Practicing gratitude is the act of recognizing and acknowledging what you appreciate and are thankful for. The idea of a gratitude practice has been increasing in popularity with good research behind it. It has many personal, professional, physical, and emotional benefits, including improved productivity, increased patience, kindness, and empathy toward others; better relationships, better sleep, a positive mindset, and improved self-esteem. Taking time out of your day to practice gratitude can be life-chang-
ing, but often we’re too busy to even think about the things and the people we appreciate.
