Every fall and winter I see the same pattern. I see client after client craving sugar, bread, and chocolate, and they are struggling with food. Their diet that felt lovely and satisfying just a few months ago is feeling unappetizing. This is quite simple to fix, but it involves looking at food at a slightly different angle. 

Do you feel like you’re walking through a fog all day? Tired body, tired mind, tired everything? Do you reach for a caffeine boost but find yourself missing the usual jolt of energy? Our body really wants to be healthy and balanced; it does everything it can each day to keep you feeling great and energetic. 

Regular readers of my blog have probably realized that I’m almost obsessed with the gut and the power of our gut bacteria. I could talk for HOURS about how our gut bacteria educate our immune system and manage inflammation. 

This is the time of the year when my least favourite word, “diet”, becomes all the rage once more. It’s the beginning of the New Year and we (myself included) all want to take a few steps forward in a new direction.
