Chickpea stuffed sweet potato with Ginger Tahini drizzle! I love this entire recipe, but the tahini drizzle makes it. A perfect way to include tahini or sesame seeds in your diet if seed cycling! Enjoy with this recipe it on salads, spread on toast with fresh berries or drizzle over top veggie/Buddha bowls!... Tahini drizzle 2 tbsp Tahini 1 tsp 100% maple syrup 1/4 tsp fresh or dried ginger 2 tsp coconut or liquid aminos 1/2 tsp sesame oil Whisk ingredients together in a bowl and serve.

Women’s hormones are complex to say the least! It is all about balance. However, women’s hormones are greatly influenced by diet, exercise, stress, toxic burden and sleep. Seed cycling is a way in which we can support our hormones and correct imbalances through eating specific seeds at specific times throughout our cycle. Whether you have a period or don’t, supporting your cycle with seed cycling can help!... The practice of seed cycling helps to promote the balance of estrogen (during our follicular phase) and progesterone (during our luteal phase) to help reduce symptoms of PMS, stimulate menstruation or boost fertility. Seed cycling can be used at any stage of a woman’s life including post-menopause. See the info graphic above to follow along: Days 1-14 (menstruation and follicular phase) include 1 tbsp each of ground flax and pepitas to help balance estrogen and build up uterine lining. Days 15-28 (ovulation and luteal phase) include 1 tbsp each sesame seeds and sunflower seed or sunflower seed butter and tahini to support progesterone If you don’t have a period, you can golpe the cycle of the moon: Days 1-14: new moon to full moon Days 15-28: full moon to new moon It might seem odd, but when our hormones are in balance, we should be menstruating with the new moon and ovulating with the full moon. Each moon cycle is 28 days just like the average menstruation cycle. Coincidence? Either way, enjoying these seeds is healthy and a great way to boost fiber, healthy fats and proteinsand an added bonus of hormone support.. #seedcycling #womenshealth #wellness #hormonebalance #hormones #nutrition #health #wellnessjourney #eatwellbewell #redapplenutrition

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Kicking off this week with a simple thought Health=Genetics + Choice... While we can’t control our genes, we can control our surroundings. Nutrigenomics explores how food changes the way our genes are expressed. We may carry specific genes and variations of genes that put us at risk for disease, but we have a lot to do with whether or not those genes are expressed. Health is a daily choice. I stead of focusing on doing something less to support your lifestyle, focus on doing MORE! More plants, more positive thoughts, more sleep, more movement! You got this! Have a great week! #wellness #motivation #dietitian #nutrition #motivationmonday #journey #journeyoflife #wellnessjourney #bepositive #bemindful #nutrigenomics #epigenetics #nutrigenetics #redapplenutrition

Eating for PCOS Blood sugar regulation, fiber and healthy fats are key if you have polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS. PCOS is a prime example of how our systems inform one another. Although there is a lot that’s not understand about this syndrome, we know that many women with PCOS also have insulin resistance which makes high levels of androgens worse and makes it hard to lose weight and get pregnant. . . Try including fiber, protein and healthy fats at each meal ... Aim for 30-40 grams of fiber daily Focus on slow burning and low glycemic carbs Eat organic animal proteins, but limit red meat since it can worsen estrogen dominance which often is connected to PCOS Focus on Omega 3s from walnuts and fatty fish to help with inflammation. There is solid evidence that inflammation is a precursor to insulin resistance . .

My babies are ready! After over a month of caring for my hickory smoked vegan cheese, it’s time to enjoy! Just in time for the holidays! If you can practice a little bit of patience, I highly recommend making this. Made from cashews, this cheese is completely #dairyfree . If you struggle with dairy intolerance, this recipe is for you. I used @fullofplants hickory smoked vegan cheese recipe and it is perfectly detailed and easy to follow. Mine may not be perfect, but the...y taste incredible. The longer you age, the better they get. The creamy cashew texture begins to harden and the smokiness from the hickory gives these cheese the flavor and texture of smoked Gouda . Makes a perfect addition to my favorite cheese or charcuterie platter . Visit @fullofplants for more info and on plenty more vegan cheese recipes! . . #vegan #veganrecipes #dairyfree #diy #inthekitchen #eatrealfood #behealthy #cleaneating #eatclean #foodie #mindfuleating #tiptuesdays #wellness #dietitian #nutrition #redapplenutrition
