Which supplement should I take? #Supplement Explorer
Are you always on your phone looking at which supplements you should take? Do you look at reviews? How do you decide what to buy?
As someone who has been in the nutraceutical industry for over 10 years, I’ve worked with many suppliers and companies to understand why an ingredient is chosen, what research is behind it, and how to sell it to a consumer, so if you are looking for some answers to questions you may have, drop a comment, or even better check out the Supplement Explorer on the site. It is free to use, 3 questions, and a simple output. No info is stored.I made the Supplement Explorer purely for my use and then thought, well, if it is useful for me, maybe it is useful for others. The tool is not affiliated with any company or brand, but was just a way for me to showcase what I find useful. If you use it, do give me feedback as to what you’d like to see it on too.
Stay well and remember, before taking any supplements, check with your doctor if it is a good fit for you or not!

Cravings?
Sometimes we have cravings during the day and often times we succumb to them and eat something but should you actually be eating?
Not all cravings are necessary to be satisfied by eating. Yes, often we are hungry but sometimes you might just be thirsty so drink water and see if that helps. Or maybe you need to eat more protein to stay full longer or even have some healthy fruits like pineapples or strawberries to satisfy your sweet tooth.
What helps me at times is just to find something else to think about especially if I am not thirsty and have eaten correctly. No one knows better than you what your body needs when it is craving something so make smart decisions and choices and you’ll reap the benefits!

Foam roll
With the hustle and bustle of holiday season underway, you might be looking for ways to unwind after all the shopping and eating but what if you can’t make it to the gym and need something active to do? Or perhaps you had a grueling workout at the gym with something like a sled?
Consider investing in a foam roller. Why? It is a great way to stretch out any knots you may have. Don’t know what to do with it? Lots of videos on YouTube. I use my foam roller daily and find it beneficial to do in the morning and before bed. Usually 5 mins is all I need not play around with it and see if it can help you.
Check with your doctor before trying anything that you are unsure about.

Eating at home!
Since I’ve had family in town for some time now, we’ve actually been eating only at home. This is new to me because usually I eat some sort of bar or eat a healthy meal from outside or use one of my delivery services to eat so this little experiment was eye opening.
What I noticed was though, I wasn’t meeting my protein intake, but I rarely so be anyway, I was feeling satiated. I wasn’t eating junk food either. Plus, the biggest difference I noticed was that I wasn’t feeling bloated or overstuffed!
Sometimes a simple diet change is all it takes to reset your body.

Day after Thanksgiving!
The day after Thanksgiving is just as unforgiving as the day of. Why? Most likely you’ll be shopping or indulging in leftovers so some quick tips to help you get through the day:
-
Consider a 10 min walk while at home after enjoying your leftovers
-
While shopping, consider low calorie drinks like water, unsweetened tea, or hot black coffee, all depending on what you enjoy
-
Don’t spend all your money on Black Friday, there might be better deals on Cyber Monday
-
Go to the gym at some point in the day if you can, you might feel better
-
Don’t stress as this is just the beginning of the holiday season!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy the food!

$8 for lip balm!
Have you ever bought a lip balm for $8? I just did, so you must be thinking what’s so special about it?
I bought the mood lip balm for the sole purpose to see if CBD in it will make a difference to my lips. CBD oil is showing up everywhere in everything so let’s see what it does for my lips. After a few days of use, I haven’t noticed much change but perhaps a bit more use will show some benefit?
By the way, I bought it at the American eagle store so you know CBD is going to keep showing up in places. Hopefully, the FDA comes up with some guidance soon because how do I know what amount of CBD is good for my lips?

A full night’s sleep!
With Thanksgiving approaching, sleep is likely going to be a hectic time for many people. From cooking to entertaining, there will just not be enough time. So what will you sacrifice? Most likely sleep!
A full night’s sleep is extremely beneficial for you during the holiday time, because not only will your cortisol levels rise due to the added stress, but you will not enjoy your friends and family time if you are tired! Average sleep time recommended is 7-9 hours so strive for that if you can as entertaining will become more pleasant!

Insufficient Protein?
Let’s face it: It would be great if we could always just sit down to a nice meal and take our time with preparation and enjoyment. But life gets in the way, unfortunately, and many of us eat a lot of meals on the go. We’re in the car or we take them wherever we’re going, snarfing down things that may or may not always be good for us. And very often, we don’t get enough of the nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that we need. Take protein, for example: It can be hard to fit this essential in, especially during breakfast. And when it comes to snacks, most of us are faced with sugary substances and processed food instead of filling protein-filled options. There is a different way, though, that can help you get the protein you need, and that’s protein powder. Here’s how to use it in your meals and snacks.

100 calories: Oatmeal
If you like to watch what you eat, then one item you might avoid is oatmeal as it tends to have a lot of carbs and calories. Well, I found a 100 calories option at Target. I love them because I get the satiety benefits of oatmeal without worrying about the calories.
These oats can be eaten hot or cold. My preferred style is overnight oats, check out the archives. You don’t have to give up your favorite foods if you find portions that fit your lifestyle.

Owyn bars!
One of my favorite ready-to-drink shakes is by Owyn—only what you need.I’m sure you’ve read about them here but today I’m going to share a little about their bars. I didn’t event know they made bars until I happened to walk in the bar aisle. So are they good?
If you are trying to eat healthy and want protein, non GMO, plant-based, gluten free, and more, do check out these bars. Taste is good and price point is good too. However, I will say that I prefer the shakes because I just feel full longer with them while I use the bar as a nice snack mid-morning or mid-afternoon.
If you try it, let me know what you think by writing me via the contact page.
