Investing in yourself can be a difficult decision when there are so many competing coaches that look the same…right?!

So, let me take a minute to talk about WHO you are investing in:

👉🏻 Last year, I spent a significant amount of time in further education in the field of functional medicine - see slides - because (a) I’m a geek 🤓 who loves learning (b) because I wanted to give my clients the highest standard of care and support.

👉🏻 I don’t like to brag but, since then, I’ve been able to help so many people transform their health, some of which weren’t even my clients! 🙈😅

👉🏻 I studied in so many different aspects from gut health, to autoimmunity, brain health to fertility, mitochondrial health to hormones because, GUESS WHAT, they’re all CONNECTED and you can’t really address any of them in isolation. Also… because I’m a geek 🤓 did I mention that???

⭐️So, if you’re looking for someone who can help you get to the root cause of your dis-ease, finally feel better in your skin and feel a sense of balance and wellbeing, look no further.

⭐️I will get you from bloated, tired, hangry and hormonal imbalances to healthy and happy!

Here’s a secret I’m a little ashamed of…🙈🙈🙈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍪Before I discovered how to nourish my body rightly, I would sometimes whisk up store bought Betty Cracker cookie dough mixes and eat the dough as is… 🙈🙊

Who else has done this, only me?! 🙋🏼‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍪While I find the thought of that gross now, I still sometimes feel like raw cookie dough...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍪 I trialled a lot of recipes, but nothing really hit the spot like this recipe I created that I'm about to share with you!! It is egg-less, vegan, refined sugar-free and RICH IN PROTEIN. So, slightly healthier than real cookie dough, but JUST AS GOOD, I PROMISE!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍪And the best thing is... after you're done sampling the dough, you can actually make cookies out of the remaining dough to share with family and friends who think your cookie dough obsession is weird!!

🍪So here is the recipe:

🍪Ingredients

1 cup of almond flour
2 tbsps of coconut sugar
1/4 cup of avocado or coconut oil
1/4 cup of cashew butter
1/4 cup of maple syrup
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of chocolate chips
1 pinch of sea salt
1/2 tsp of baking powder
(Optional: 3 scoops of collagen peptide protein powder. Note - this definitely changes the consistency of the cookies)


🍪Directions:

1. Combine dry ingredients.
2. Add 'wet' ingredients and combine using a wooden spoon or spatula.
3. Shape into little balls and ENJOY!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I made half a batch but this is the recipe for a standard loaf tin sized cake:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▶️Ingredients:
5 eggs
¾ cup of crystal sweetener (I used erythritol)
2 cups of almond flour
¼ cup of coconut flour
1 ½ tsbp of arrowroot four
¼ spoon of ginger powder
½ cup of coconut oil, butter, avocado oil or mct oil
2 tbsp of lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla essence
¾ cup of blueberries
1/4 cup of chia seeds (optional but my poppy seed swap)
1 ½ tsp of baking powder

▶️Method
1. Whisk eggs. Add in sweetener and almond flour gradually.
2. Next add oil and then the rest of the dry ingredients.
3. Next add, the rest of the wet ingredients.
4. Fill into load tin. Next spread the blueberries over the top and poke them in with a fork so it doesn’t make the whole batter purple. They will remain mostly on top but I kind of like this!!
4. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 50 mins. Then turn oven off and let it cook in oven for another 30 minutes before taking out.

Do you suffer from gastric problems? Have you been offered anti acids to relieve your stomach pain?

Do you struggle with constipation (ie not having a bowl movement AT LEAST once a day!)? Have you been given stool softeners or laxatives so ‘resolve’ your issues?

Do you have bloating, loose bowl movements, IBS or chronic mysterious pain?

You are not alone? So many suffer from this and so many people just get one of the above pictures pills which do nothing more than plaster over temporarily.

I too suffered from some of the above symptoms. I was diagnosed with IBS at 24 and was given stool softeners, laxatives, fibre supplements and bowl relaxants.
⭐️Pro trip: It’s not normal or healthy for your bowls not to work properly at that age!

But I never accepted the diagnoses and was not satisfied with the pilled approach! It didn’t work.

I knew that there was a root cause and I needed to find it! And I did… now my gut health is, from what I can tell, in very healthy shape! And it’s not just me, i have helped many of my clients move away from the above products, find their root cause and get proper help.

So if you or a loved one is suffering from chronic gastric/gut issues, please don’t just keep taking the above medication (they can be very damaging long term) and get help! Why not DM me today for a free consult and we can discuss what helping you looks like!!

After a long insta break (recommended btw!) allow me to reintroduce myself!!

I’m Arleen. A health coach, a mama to the little cutie pictured above, a wife to my best friend, and a Jesus follower.

I use functional medicine tools to help people address the root cause of their health issues relating to:
⭐️Gut Health - specifically chronic unresolved symptoms (think bloating, pain, SIBO and more),
⭐️Autoimmunity (helping you understand your condition, triggers and keeping you in remission)
⭐️Fatigue/brain fog (helping you reduce your brain inflammation and enhance your focus)
⭐️Hormonal imbalances (for month round energy, a PMS free period and fertility).

The last couple of months I’ve been investing lots of time in my little one, digging deep into my priorities, focusing on God‘s word, and taking off unnecessary pressures I tend to put on myself.

I am and continue to be ‘open’ for coaching, so if you’re interested in finding out more, pls send me a DM or follow the link in my bio.

🙋🏼‍♀️Also Happy International Women’s day from me and my little firecracker, who I hope and pray will one day grow up to a be a women of integrity, compassion, faith and confidence. She’s full of unbridled personality right now and it’s an absolute pleasure to watch her grow!

🧅If you’re feeling any of the above, it could be a loss of oral tolerance/ FOOD SENSITIVITIES - meaning your immune system is overzealous and is attacking food proteins that shouldn’t normally be attacked.

🫐While there are other reasons for the symptoms above, food sensitivities is a commonly overlooked one. In today’s society, the incidences of allergies and intolerances are especially increasing because of how our microbiome is changing and decreasing in diversity.

🥝Regaining tolerance to foods also has to do with the microbiome, but the first step is to eliminate the offending foods.

🍓THE NEXT STEP is to diversify the microbiome… BUT, this can only be done if the gut health hierarchy (ie every part of the digestive system north of the microbiome) is working optimally.

🥦In other words, probiotics and even a diverse plant rich diet will do very little if other parts of your digestive system aren’t working well.

🥥That is why these symptoms and problems are with tolerance often persist, even if you’ve eliminated foods or some the 5R protocol.

Most of these 7 things are pervasive in today’s world, and it’s hard to get away from them 100%.

➡️But if you are experiencing symptoms like those listed in the second slide, it could be that you are experiencing a loss of tolerance - meaning your immune system is overzealous and creating an inflammatory cascade against things it should.

😣Our immune system is designed to recognise, attack and neutralise pathogens, bacteria and viruses. But for a person who has lost immune tolerance, all of the above can impact how they function and feel. In fact, they can actually make their life difficult.

🧪Often people who suffer from loss of immune tolerance will go to the doctor and come up with a list of mystery symptoms that can’t be explained by their labs, this leaves people frustrated and without a solution.

🔒Loss of tolerance, has in large part to do with the health of your microbiome, something most conventional doctors aren’t trained to look at. As a result, people feel stuck and at loss at what to do.

✅If this is you, don’t despair, I can help. Oral and chemical tolerance can be regained to some extent, and this is what I have helped myself and many of my clients do by helping them improve their gut health.

Inflammation, and loss of tolerance, is part and parcel of living with an Autoimmune Disease. But a lot of people lose tolerance (e.g. develop food and other sensitivities) BEFORE they develop an autoimmune disease.

🌧 At the start of last year, I lost my tolerance for a number of foods, including certain nuts, oats, certain veggies an more. Eating these foods would make me have a rash along my hair line and tendinitis in my wrist.

☁️ Later, I discovered I was in the early stages of Lupus, and started following a strict Autoimmune Protocol Diet.

⛅️ But after about 6 weeks, I was struggling with how limited my diet had become. I learned about the concept of Oral Tolerance through the course I did on the Clinical Management of Autoimmune disease.

🌈 In fact, I found that this was a missing piece to gut health that so many people, who focus on food intolerance as a symptom of leaky gut, were not talking about.
Oral tolerance has to do with your GUT'S IMMUNE SYSTEM, not leaky gut.

🌈Since then, I have managed to increase my own Oral Tolerance and reintroduced many of the foods I thought I could no longer tolerance, and have managed to help my clients do the same.

🌈If you're struggling with because your diet is limited and you body has become super sensitive, stay tuned, as I will be talking more about it in my next posts.
