Healthy Lifestyle from the Inside Out

February 19, 2016

Love. Love. Love. It’s everywhere this month! At this very moment you may still be swooning over your Valentine’s date night, shopping the 50% candy aisle, or maybe you’re even thankful to have avoided the holiday all together. Whatever you’re into… There is one person you should love the most all year to maintain a healthy lifestyle- YOURSELF.

There are many different ways to love oneself, but let’s start from the inside, out.

Love Yourself RGB

Board certified OB/GYN, Dr. Jessica Shepard has been kind enough to share some awesome tips with us about how to stay healthy from the inside, out.

Infused Water

First off, let’s talk about what we’re putting in our AMAZING bodies. If pure delicious water isn’t already your go-to, then make that a priority! At the Dollhouse, we love to add organic fruits, vegetables and herbs to infuse our H20 with a little zest. It’s important to drastically reduce or eliminate soda, synthetic flavored water, high-sugar juices and sports drinks.

dollhouse veggies-1

Focus on healthy foods, food groups and nutrients. Don’t get us wrong – we’ll occasionally indulge in a burrito, slice of pizza or Chinese entree, but we should all try to focus on eating more fruits and vegetables because they are the most nutrient-dense foods. Try to eliminate as much processed foods as possible.

Yoga

Be kind to your body, because it’s probably the only one you’ll have in this life! Pick an exercise that makes you sweat at least three times per week, get into a yoga practice to feed your soul, try meditating for fifteen minutes everyday to keep your mind sharp and most importantly make sure you are using the correct supplementation.

symbiotics-1

At the Dollhouse we love trying new products and Symbiotics Colostrum has piqued our interest. It’s a natural based product that works to help immune support and normal gut health. This product helps balance the relationship between nutrients and the bacteria in our bodies, enabling optimal immune and digestive health. Our gut health is impacted by so many factors like work, busy home life and environmental issues. By trying Symbiotics Colostrum you’re creating a natural way to help your body fight back against the things that can potentially harm you.

Having an unbalanced immune system and unbalanced gut health can really harm your wellbeing as a woman. Either of these being out of synch can cause acne, bloating, inflammation, chronic illness, PMS symptoms to be very severe, and can lead to endometriosis or even menopausal discomfort.

Symbiotics

Struggling with health issues and having to take prescribed medications is never fun and sometimes can harm you by treating one symptom and making another worse. The Dolls like to try everything natural for about three months before making a decision on if it works or not. Three months is enough time to see actually physical and mental results. After giving Symbiotics Colostrum some time to work it’s magic you may see a decrease in inflammation, normal menstrual cycles, bloating decrease, skin clear up, brain fog disperse and if you struggle with chronic illness you may see a change in that pattern, as well.

If you’re suffering from any of the issues we mentioned, a few months of this product may be worth a try. If you’re interested in learning more about Symbiotics Colosturm or to purchase the product, click here.

Disclosure: Thank you Symbiotics Colostrum for sponsoring this honest post!

About

Once upon a time... there were two best friends that lived in a Dollhouse. That's where the story began. While the pages of this digital storybook keep turning, one thing remains the same. Caitlin and Dani are by each other's side through the ups, downs and all the realness in between.
