Want to Go Dairy Free? The Top 10 Dairy Free Diet Benefits

 Why go dairy-free?

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to achieving great health; although the multibillion-dollar diet industry may want you thinking otherwise. We are all uniquely built to handle different foods in different amounts, and we all function best with different forms of physical activity. Embracing this concept of bio-individuality is key to figuring out not only which foods do work for our bodies, but also which foods don’t work for us. 

Think about the last time you had dairy, whether it was Greek yogurt, ice cream, or milk in your coffee. 

Did you experience:

  • Congestion
  • Sluggishness
  • Fatigue
  • Bloating
  • Stomach pain or cramping 

Do you eat dairy products regularly? If so, do you suffer from:

  • Chronic congestion
  • Chronic gas and bloating
  • Chronic fatigue and sluggishness
  • Acne
  • Brain fog

If you feel or experience any of the above, dairy may be the culprit! Cutting out dairy can seem daunting at first, but there are many dairy substitutes available to make the process easier. Many people who ditch dairy end up noticing the impacts quickly, while for some it may take more time, depending on how much dairy products were in the diet and how the body was affected by regular dairy consumption.

How I Learned to Stop Procrastinating, & Love Letting Go

The end of procrastination is the art of letting go. I’ve been a lifelong procrastinator, at least until recent years. I would put things off until deadline, because I knew I could come through.

It turns out procrastinating caused me to miss deadlines, over and over. It stressed me out. My work was less-than-desirable when I did it last minute. Slowly, I started to realize that procrastination wasn’t doing me any favors. In fact, it was causing me a lot of grief. But I couldn’t quit. I tried a lot of things. I tried time boxing and goal setting and accountability and the Pomodoro Technique and Getting Things Done. All are great methods, but they only last so long. Nothing really worked over the long term. That’s because I wasn’t getting to the root problem. I hadn’t figured out the skill that would save me from the procrastinatio...

Intermittent Fasting and Exercise – Know This Before Starting

  What is intermittent fasting? When done in a healthy and regulated way, intermittent fasting (IF) can be a great way to reset unhealthy eating habits. It’s been shown to  combat insulin resistance , help steady blood sugar levels, create a calorie deficit that leads to weight loss, and promote a healthy metabolism. IF involves an elongated fasting period, coinciding with nighttime, followed by a shorter period when you eat your meals. If you normally skip breakfast because you don’t seem to get hungry until lunchtime, IF can be easily integrated into your daily routine. You’ve already mastered the morning fasting part, so the next step would be to focus on avoiding any late-night snacking in order to set yourself up for success to continue fasting into the next day. IF can become part of anyone’s routine, but as always, it’s important to seek out guidance and support from a  nutrition expert  who can help you figure out which eating pattern and fasting period works...
