If you're looking to support your hormones, start with the basics. 🌿

Supporting your hormones doesn't have to be complicated or overwhelming. The foundation starts with the daily habits that nourish and support your body.

Start by:
✨ Prioritizing protein
✨ Including more fiber-rich foods
✨ Strength training regularly
✨ Prioritizing quality sleep
✨ Managing stress

You don't have to change everything at once. Choose one habit to focus on, build consistency, and let those small changes add up over time.

🦠 Prebiotics and probiotics may sound similar, but they each play a different role in supporting your gut health.

Think of it this way:

✨ Probiotics are the beneficial bacteria that help support a healthy gut microbiome.

🌱 Prebiotics are the types of fiber that feed those beneficial bacteria, helping them grow and thrive.

The best part? You don't have to choose one or the other. A healthy gut is supported by a combination of both!

Try incorporating:
🥣 Yogurt or kefir with live cultures
🧄 Garlic and onions
🍌 Bananas
🌾 Oats
🫘 Beans and lentils
🥬 Fermented foods like kimchi or sauerkraut

✨ Announcement! ✨

We are so excited to introduce Julia Clover, MS, RDN as the newest member of the Flora Wellness Practitioners team!

Julia specializes in women’s health, with a focus on sustainable weight loss, metabolic health, and hormone health. She is passionate about helping women create realistic, individualized nutrition strategies that fit their unique lifestyles and support their long-term health goals.

Learn more about Julia below and be sure to follow along with her on Instagram at .rd!

"My own health journey led me to nutrition after experiencing the overwhelm of conflicting advice, the pressure to eat “perfectly,” and the frustration of not knowing what to believe when it came to my health. Through my personal experience and education, I discovered that nutrition doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective and that small, sustainable changes can create meaningful results.

I understand how frustrating it can feel to navigate health goals while sorting through endless nutrition information and trying to find an approach that actually fits your life. I’m passionate about helping women create sustainable lifestyle changes to support metabolic and hormone health while working toward their long-term health goals.

Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring new coffee shops, creating recipes in the kitchen, spending time boating with friends and family, and enjoying long walks.

I’m so glad you’re here and I can’t wait to connect with you”

August is one of the BEST months for seasonal produce!

Eating with the seasons means enjoying foods at their peak flavor while adding more nutrients and plant diversity to your plate.

🍎 Apples → High in fiber + rich in polyphenols to support gut and overall health

🫛 Green Beans → A source of fiber and antioxidants that support digestion and cellular health

🌽 Corn → Provides carotenoids, vitamin C, and satisfying carbohydrates for energy

🥔 Sweet Potatoes → A complex carbohydrate and excellent source of beta-carotene

🍑 Peaches → Hydrating and a good source of potassium to support fluid balance and muscle function

🌱 Cauliflower → Provides fiber and choline, supporting digestive health and overall wellness

Understanding how alcohol interacts with your gut, energy levels, and recovery can help you make more informed, balanced choices that support your overall health and well-being.

Key takeaways:
🦠 Gut health: Can disrupt gut bacteria and contribute to bloating and digestive discomfort
⚡ Metabolism: Provides “empty calories” and may slow normal nutrient metabolism
😴 Sleep: Reduces deep sleep and REM, leading to poorer recovery and more fatigue

☀️ Support your gut health and blood sugar this summer with these refreshing homemade treats.

Many store-bought frozen desserts are high in added sugar and low in nutrients that help keep you satisfied.

These options use naturally sweet ingredients like fruit while incorporating protein and fiber to support more stable energy levels, digestion, and fullness.
