A stark difference from being pregnant in 2021 during a pandemic. I didn’t get a baby shower, any postpartum support or the ability to see some sun and feel the warmth during a long fall winter. So grateful for this short trip to maui before I hunker down this winter. 🤍🌞 #babymoon #pregnantover40 #thirdtrimester #maui #guthealthtips

WHY YOU SHOULD EAT OATS & FRUIT Oatmeal: research shows beta-glucan in oats has possible cholesterol lowering and anti diabetic effects. Cardiovascular disease & type 2 diabetes are the top disease and mortality burdens worldwide. Grains are high in fibre which the gut microbiome thrives on. Good bacteria help digest food, support immunity and lower inflammation. I can always tell when people eat grain free when I see their GI-MAP because they have such low commensal bacteria. Consumption of oats significantly increased Akkermansia muciniphila & Roseburia bacteria. Oats are a great prebiotic food to help feed your good bacteria so eat up. I like steel cut for a bowl of oats and old fashion in baking. PMID 34828872 34444718 344956218 FRUIT: I find it odd people avoid fruit, but drink sugary alcohol or drink pop. Sorry, but fruit is loaded with benefits from fibre to vitamins and polyphenols (maybe you’ve heard of anthocyanins?). Polyphenols have antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties. Fruit help prevent constipation, IBS, IBD, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, lowering the risk of depression, supports higher bone density & more. Whole fruits are ideal versus juice due to delayed gastric emptying (thanks fibre!). Don’t fear sugar in fruit! PMID 28983192 30487459 Plants contain polyphenols and fibre to feed your microbiome and reduce inflammation. If you find yourself struggling to eat grains, legumes or even fruit, apply to work on your health with me. It’s usually not the food, we just like to blame them then end up with a severely restricted diet. It’s usually your digestion, gut health and nervous system that need support. 🤍 Dm me or comment HEALTH & I’ll send you more info if TikTok allows messages. #oatmeallover #oatsforbreakfast #perimenopausesupport #guthealthtips #constipationrelief

My client today said he was happily surprised that me, a nutritionist, helped him more than any other health practitioner. Pretty neat, but also how the heck does one communicate this to other potential clients. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I truly think it’s because of all the time I spend in the background without the client writing a plan. Unlike naturopaths, I’m not seeing 10 plus clients a day back to back and just giving them a piece of paper with notes I write during the appointment. My protocols last 8-12 weeks too! My client said if only he knew to book with me prior! He has no more bloating, constipation , a faster transit time and he’s eating a bigger variety of foods with no reaction!! He had low good bacteria levels, an inflammatory bad bacteria linked to autoimmunity and a parasite. We made so much progress only 2 months!!!

Don’t complicate it! Homemade cashew milk for diversity because this nutritionist usually drinks soy milk. Diversity ensures we get lots of different nutrients, plus it helps with gut health. So many benefits to keeping raw cashews on hand. No more running out to the store to buy milk when it’s pouring rain and you’re cozy at home. It’s affordable in today’s economy and uses less packaging waste. 🥳 It’s so easy, creamy and customizable. With me getting sick recently, I’m being extra cautious so I’d soak cashews overnight in the fridge. 1. Soak 1 cup cashews overnight in water 2. Rinse well 3. Add to high powered blender with filtered water 4. I add true cinnamon and a pinch of salt 5. Option to add a couple dates for sweetness Blend well and that’s it! Mine keeps for 3 days in the fridge. https://jordanbruce.ca/blog-recipes/creamy-homemade-cashew-milk Like & save this post so you can make it too. #cashewmilk #homemademilk #guthealthtips #easyrecipeideas #guthealthtips

Acid reflux can occur when stomach acid is high or low. It’s often assumed in allopathic medicine it’s always high and PPIs are given. You definitely don’t want reflux because it’s uncomfortable, but long term it can lead to esophageal damage and cellular changes. The majority of my clients actually have LOW stomach acid. I wrote an article about navigating acid reflux - comment REFLUX and I’ll send it over. 1. CHRONIC STRESS I’m talking long term stress in which the gut brain connection is impacted. Your nervous system plays a role in your digestive function and if digestive juices are flowing. This isn’t your everyday healthy stress. 2. H PYLORI Note that you have to have very high levels to test positive in western medicine because they give you 4 antibiotics and a PPI. It takes a toll on the body. Only 3 of my clients tested high with their doc, BUT countless have tested high on the stool test I offer because it actually tells you a number (not just yes or no, there’s a range). Morale of the story, support the person and their symptoms. How do I know it worked? Their reflux goes away and it’s negative on a re-test 3. LOW MINERALS Minerals are required to make stomach acid! Zinc, sodium and potassium are the three I focus on. These are best measured in tissue such as hair as that’s where the majority of minerals are stored. I offer HTMA testing if you’re curious on your levels - I recommend all postpartum women do this test! Low sodium: feeling dehydrated, overwhelmed, anxious, craving salty foods Low potassium: constipation or slower transit time common Zinc: immunity and hormone connection Which foods to eat? All in my free mineral ebook linked in bio or comment MINERALS to sign up. 4. Hypothyroidism or a thyroid without the nutrients it needs trending towards hypo. Things slow down with hypothyroidism: bowel movements, metabolism, digestion, that includes stomach acid production. Here to help you! #heartburn #acidreflux #hpylori #gimap #constipationrelief

GUT LOVING SMOOTHIE RECIPE 👇 I’m always focusing on my gut health for overall health and that doesn’t stop when pregnant! I made a yummy green smoothie on a clear Fall day with lots of diversity, veggies and greens for energy. I personally don’t make iced smoothies in the cooler months. GUT LOVING GREEN SMOOTHIE - banana - sliced frozen zucchini - a few frozen purple cauliflower florets - coconut water/water - scoop of coconut kefir - a huge handful of well washed kale - small knob of ginger - flax (whole) and chia (from fridge!) - plant protein (I used @ora.organic here, code Jordan for a discount) SAVE & MAKE!! Your gut will thank you. Ps if you have histamine issues you’ll likely struggle with the added ferment, but love the anti-inflammatory ginger. 🫚 PPS This smoothie is also perfect in perimenopause!! A great amount of fibre and protein. Sign up is live for the PERIMENOPAUSE WORKSHOP Oct 28th, early bird pricing is now on.
