Eat these foods to lower your stress levels!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever heard of the parasympathetic nervous system? It's the opposite of a stressed-out fight/flight/freeze state (and the state your body digests in).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That's why eating foods that support a healthy stress response can be so helpful to your gut. When you're stress is mismanaged, thanks to the gut-brain connection... this is a common trigger for digestive symptoms, inflammation, and IBS.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So when you're anxious or stressed and it's time to nourish yourself, try eating some foods that reduce stress, while eating mindfully to support your parasympathetic response.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of my favorite options include:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-spinach
-salmon
-fermented foods (yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi)
-chia seeds
-walnuts
-almonds
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking for healthy recipes to incorporate these foods into your diet? I've got you covered over on the blog! -> foodbymars.com and in my book, The Paleo Gut Healing Cookbook (links in bio!)

We all love the summer, but it can be hard to keep

We all love the summer, but it can be hard to keep up with our nutrition goals when we're so busy!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, there are so many delicious fruits and veggies that are in season during the summer that it's easy to eat well even when you're busy. Here are some of our favorites:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Strawberries: rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, these little berries are a great snack for an afternoon pick-me-up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Watermelon: this juicy fruit is full of Vitamin A and lycopene, which help fight cancer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Pineapple: full of anti-inflammatory properties and Vitamin C, pineapples are perfect as a morning fruit salad or as a midday snack after lunch.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Cantaloupe: this juicy melon contains beta-carotene and lutein, which help protect against macular degeneration (we're getting old!)

SAVE this post to avoid these common mistakes when

SAVE this post to avoid these common mistakes when it comes to implementing an elimination diet like AIP or otherwise!

Losing focus on what you ARE eating and missing out on a nutrient-dense diet including broths, organ meats, fish, and veggies to help heal while you eliminate.
Overcorrecting with diet alone and missing the bigger picture of a healthy lifestyle. Food is important, but so is sleep, stress, and avoiding toxins.
Bypassing the reintroduction phase and getting stuck in eliminations or a restrictive mindset for the long haul.
It's easy to get sucked into these traps when you're trying to heal your gut—but doing so can stall and even prevent your healing. If you focus on eating well and taking care of yourself holistically (not just with food), you'll be able to heal from the inside out and find lasting results that will support you longer than any "quick fix" could.
