”Hey there, Mama! Have you been trying to lose weight and can’t seem to shed an ounce, no matter what you try? Do you feel bloated after meals and know your hormones are probably out of whack, but have no idea how to get back on track? Do you keep trying the latest Instagram trend or what your girlfriends recommend when it comes to diet and exercise, but end up confused and gripped by analysis paralysis? I am so excited you’re here! Welcome to the Holistic Health for Moms podcast, where I help moms have more energy, better health, and feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin. Hey! I’m Jennifer. A wife, mother of 3 amazing boys, and a Christ-follower. I’ve been a Nurse Practitioner for almost a decade, and I have seen many patients who were searching for answers but got prescriptions instead. It hurt my heart to see women who wanted answers and solutions, to only be given prescriptions and vague directions in the form of “eat better and exercise.” They needed to get out of the traditional healthcare box, and I wanted to help. So I started doing some digging on my own and learned how to better help women like me that wanted more than platitudes and a prescription. I discovered Lifestyle Medicine which is NOT a “quick fix diet” but a sustainable way to balance family, life, and health. If you’ve decided it’s time to learn more about what’s going on inside of the amazing body God provided you and are ready to lose weight and reclaim the energy and health within your body, mind, and spirit - you’re in the right place! Raise your hand and say “Present and Accounted For” and let’s get this party started friend!”

SAD😢
The Standard American Diet is very sad. We have been taught the food pyramid in school which promoted breads, etc. because there were people in the government who were making money off of grain.
Not because bread was "good" for us.
Unfortunately, there is so much lacking in our American diets and we need to "relearn" what is healthy and learn how to listen to our bodies and know what is good for us as individuals and what makes us feels like crap!
Today's episode is about one item that we lack that is good for most people.
Also, I share how we incorporate three of these foods into our families diets so get a pen and paper and get ready to write down these "family recipes" LOL!
Enjoy!

Raising confident kids starts with us! Our kids watch our actions and they hear our words and whether we like it or not sometimes they repeat our words (good or bad!).
The same goes for body image and self-esteem. They see us and how we act and talk about our bodies and food and they just emulate what they see.
Today we're talking about ways to help our kids be confident!
Hope you enjoy!

Whoa girl! This week has been a roller coater of emotions. Guilt has been one of them. My babies started a new school (I use the term babies loosely since my oldest is 16🤪) and it has been great for them...but for me..a little harder.
But keeping my self-care routine in place and knowing I have those time available to decompress has helped SO much!
I hope this episode blesses you!
