Every week is literally like a seesaw. One week I’m killing it then the next I’m sinking in bad habits. It’s crazy what a good and bad week can do to you. And this week was one of those bad weeks. I received some exams and took some quizzes, but did not get the results I would have wanted. I’m…

Yay! This past week I honestly crushed it! I took my probiotics every day at around 9 am, on the dot. I made it a goal of mine to stay disciplined and consistent with my habits. The past few weeks have been a bit rocky, but I really needed to have a solid week to jump-start future successes. Before when…

New week, new me! Since I slacked off for about two weeks, I was very motivated to try and accomplish the three habits each and every day. Some days were definitely harder than others but overall, I think I succeeded. I have taken my probiotics once every day in the morning this last week. As for the repercussions, my stomach…

This might be a little T.M.I—- I’m just trying to stay real and raw on my blog, but using the restroom in the mornings has been more consistent. The probiotics do…

Week 2 hit and surprisingly it wasn’t as bad as I thought, except for the probiotics… I don’t know what it is about probiotics, but my stomach does not digest it well. I have taken it by myself previously for personal reasons and had to stop because of the repercussions. Now giving it a second try, my stomach still hates…

What is gut health? How can it be improved? In simpler terms, your gut is your gastrointestinal tract where food is directed. There are a number of different things to improve overall gut health like consuming probiotics daily, avoiding processed foods, implementing good fats, etc. …yet why is this so hard for me? For some reason every time food, mostly…
