La seule chose dont nous sommes certains est que rien n'est certain, que tout change.
Nous sommes tous en proie à un moment ou à un autre de notre vie à nos angoisses, qui sont le fruit de notre imagination et très souvent ne s'avèrent pas. Nous cherchons à contrôler notre environnement frénétiquement, mais en vain, car tout ce à quoi nous résistons persiste. Nos pensées passent en boucle dans notre tête et finissent par nous rendre fous...
Voici quelques conseils qui pourront vous aider à réduire votre anxiété et votre résistance au changement :
- Eviter toutes les substances qui nous déconnectent de notre corps comme le sucre, l'alcool, le café, les additifs, ainsi que le gluten et les laitages qui agissent sur notre cerveau comme des opiacées.
- Consommer davantage d'aliments qui augmentent nos vibrations, de préférence bio, comme les fruits et légumes, surtout les légumes racines qui nous ancrent (patate douce, betterave, carotte, etc), les céréales complètes (riz, quinoa, millet, sarrasin), les légumineuses (lentilles, pois chiche, haricots secs), les oléagineux (noix, amandes, graines) et poissons gras (sardine, saumon, hareng) et les bonnes huiles (olive, coco, omega 3) qui nous calment. Attention a ne pas trop manger d'aliments crus ou déshydratés (crackers, biscuits, etc.) qui attisent notre énergie vata et nous dissipent.
- Consommer des aliments sous leur forme la plus proche de la nature (non transformés), pour être le plus proche de la nature.
- Supplémenter avec des vitamines et minéraux. Des probiotiques puisque notre système digestif est notre 2ème cerveau et que toute inflammation digestive entraine une inflammation au cerveau. Des omega 3 (EPA + DHA) qui soutiennent nos neurones et du magnesium 300mg par jour) qui calme notre mental et relaxe notre corps.
- Des plantes adaptogéniques comme l'ashwagandha, tulsi ou griffonia peuvent vous aider à mieux vous adapter au stress.
- Respirer des huiles essentielles pour apaiser le mental et accepter la transition comme le cèdre, lavande, encens d'Oliban (frankincense), lemongrass.
- En fleurs de Bach, Rescue Remedy calmera vos angoisses et vos peurs.
- En homéopathie, Coffea 9ch va aider à réduire l'excitation mentale, Gelsemium 9ch à calmer nos appréhensions du futur et Ignatia 9ch à combattre la tristesse et dépression.
- Les cristaux qui apaisent le mental et aident au changement comme l'améthyste, l'angélite, et la labradorite sont a porter en bijou ou en pierre sur soi (dans une poche par example).
- Masser votre corps de haut en bas avec une huile tiède (sésame, coco) pendant 15mn, avant de prendre votre douche, pour vous ancrer et calmer votre système nerveux.
- Pratiquer un travail de respiration, meditation et yoga au quotidien pour calmer notre mental, se détacher des situations qui nous agitent, et assouplir notre corps (donc notre esprit !).
- Earthing/grounding: se promener dans la nature pour s'ancrer dans la terre et reconnecter avec nous-même, marcher pieds-nus.
- Ecrire un journal pour se libérer de nos pensées et les clarifier.
- Répéter des mantras : "je lache prise, j'accepte ce qui est, je me libère de tout ce qui négatif et m'empêche d'aller de l'avant, je vis ici et maintenant" etc.
- Recevoir un soin énergétique comme du reiki pour rééquilibrer nos chakras et débloquer tout ce qui nous encombre émotionnellement pour y voir plus clair et accepter ce qui est.

Despite all the precautions I take when eating out by choosing restaurants who pride themselves in using local, organic, sustainable ingredients and offer gluten-free options, I recently suffered from gluten exposure. I got "glutened" through cross-contamination at one of my favorite restaurants. Aside from the immediate reaction (tongue swelling, bloating, cramping), I also endured various side effects (headache, acne, fatigue, insomnia, etc.) for many days afterwards, which lowered my immunity to the point of catching a nasty cold days later that I am still recovering from.
To counter-act the damaging effect of gluten on my guts, my favorite go-to cures include Nature's Way Charcoal, Activated
right after exposure, to first remove the poison or offender. I wait a couple of hours since charcoal absorbs everything on its way, and then take 3 pellets of homeopathic Boiron - Histaminum Hydrochlo 30c, 30c, 80 pellets
and Bluebonnet Super Quercetin - 90 Vegetarian Capsules
. Over the following days, I drink anti-inflammatory Pukka Herbal Teas Three Ginger Caffeine Free, 20 Count
and Numi Organic Tea Turmeric Blends Sampler (Pack of 3)
teas, and Traditional Medicinals Teas Organic Throat Coat Tea, 16 Bags
which contain licorice, marshmallow root, slippery elm. I take plenty of Garden of Life Primal Defense ULTRA, 60 Capsules
, Garden of Life - Omega Zyme Ultra Ultimate Digestive Enzyme Blend
and Nordic Naturals - Ultimate Omega, 1000 mg, 60 softgels
. I also add NOW Foods L-Glutamine Pure Powder, 1-Pound
, NOW Foods - Chlorella Pure Powder Certified Organic
, Now Foods, ORGANIC SPIRULINA POWDER, 1LB
and Lily Of The Desert - 100% Organic Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice - 32 oz.
in my smoothies, drink bone broth, green juice and soups and get plenty of rest. How do you cope with the symptoms?

I am not a smoothie kind of girl. It may shock you to hear it from a Health Coach, but I prefer to chew my food and drink my liquids.
In my culture, we sit down at every meal and make it a ritual. It is a social thing, a time for ourselves or to connect with other human beings. We don't drive, work, phone, text, read or watch TV while eating. Besides distraction interferes with digestion. When you practice mindful eating, you feel satisfied, satiated and you digest well. For optimal nutrient absorption, foods are always best eaten in their whole form and well-chewed, so they can be processed by your digestive enzymes.
I only use my Vitamix
to make a berry smoothie to sneak other liquid or powdered supplements such as chlorella and spirulina powders (since they taste gross alone!) and to get my daily dose of high-antioxidant berries, especially when they are hard to find in the winter. I typically buy them organic to avoid pesticides and frozen since they are more economical. I also like to make occasional treats like a tropical smoothie on a hot summer day or a decadent superfoods hot cocoa in the winter.
Unless you are always on the go, skip meals (which is a terrible “no” for blood sugar and weight loss) or don't eat enough vegetables & fruit, there is no need for a daily smoothie. If you do, be careful if you like to mix fruit & veggies together, they are not the best food combination, and can often lead to bloating, gas and discomfort if your digestion is sensitive. Fruit should be eaten alone or they will ferment in your digestive tract and you can imagine the rest. When sweetening your smoothie, stick to fresh or dried fruit.
I just saved you $400 from buying a fancy blender or from grabbing a daily smoothie to work that you can now invest in coaching sessions ;)

It is finally Spring, yet it does not mean you should be suffering from allergies! Here are a few steps you can take to avoid all the sneezing and coughing:
• Increase your consumption of anti-inflammatory and antihistamine foods: apples, berries, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, raw honey, green tea, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, omega 3 foods (supplement, walnuts, flax, salmon), orange fruit and vegetables, leafy greens.
• Cut out dairy since it promotes mucous production, as well as sugar and gluten since they are inflammatory.
• Eat local raw honey (not for babies under 1 year), take bee pollen which is similar to homeopathy in that you are treating like with like.
• Increase your fluids to aid the body in diluting and expelling what it is try to get rid of (pollen, dust, etc).
• Drink nettle tea or take capsules, it is naturally rich in quercetin to ward off inflammation.
• Take 3 pellets each daily of homeopathic Pollens and Histaminum during allergy season. Let the pellets melt under the tongue, or dilute them in water.
• Supplement with Quercetin (250mg 3x/day with meals), Bromelain, Vitamin C (500mg 3x/day with meals), they are natural antihistamines.
• Rinse your nose daily with a Neti pot (¼ tsp salt + 1 cup warm water), use a nasal spray a few times daily.
• Air your home early in the morning and in the evening to renew the air. Avoid using the AC which will recirculate the toxic air. There are more toxins indoor than outdoor. You can also use an air filtration device in your bedroom.
• Take a shower before bed, change your sheets weekly to reduce your exposure to the allergens and wash hands after being outside.
Happy Spring!
