DAIRY-FREE VANILLA PROTEIN ICE CREAM // The creami

DAIRY-FREE VANILLA PROTEIN ICE CREAM // The creamiest way to get dairy-free ice cream in the ninja cream. Basically my protein shake with some added gut-friendly ingredients that also make it extra creamy. Does it taste exactly like the real deal, no. It’s it delicious and highly satisfying, yes. Do I love it, 100%.

While this is dairy free, you could use milk and yogurt and I’m sure it would be even creamier and higher protein.

12 oz full-fat almond milk (like Malk or Organic Califia)
1 scoop vanilla protein (use one you love because this is the main flavor!! I use Truvani but a whey protein would work great too)
1/3 cup coconut yogurt (I use Harmless Harvest)
8g (2 tsp) grass-fed gelatin (this is KEY!)

Add the gelatin to a small pan. Add 1/4 cup milk and let it bloom for about 2-3 minutes. Place on the stove to let it melt. (I know it’s an extra step but this replaces guar gum or a pudding mix packet for creaminess!)

Blend milk, yogurt and protein. Pour into creami pint and freeze for 12-24 hours. Spin on lite ice cream. Add 2-4 tbsp more milk and re-spin TWICE. Add any mix-ins (i love raw cacao nibs!)

Chances are you’re not hydrating correctly, and

Chances are you’re not hydrating correctly, and I say this because 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

So if you’re chugging plain old water all day long, that’s just not enough. You’re not actually hydrating at a cellular level.

Enter in @drywater [use JESS20 for 20% off your order!! ]

Not only is it made from the purest blend of 25 essential micronutrients and fruit for complete cellular hydration, it uses their IsoCell delivery system which allows for rapid rehydration five times better than plain old water. Plus, it supports the transport of vitamins into your cells so your

I love that there is more potassium than sodium which means you’re not going to feel puffy and it doesn’t taste super salty.

I’ve been starting my day with one DryWater packet for daily hydration support and add in a second packet if I have a intense workout, sauna session or I’m spending the day in the sun.

Optimal hydration is needed for energy, cognition, mood, hormone balance, performance and so much more. And trust me, when you’re properly hydrated you can physically feel the difference.

Don’t forget to use JESS20 for 20% off your order! Try it and let me know what you think!

HOW you’re eating... I am your biggest advocate

HOW you’re eating...

I am your biggest advocate when it comes to functional testing. But there’s the thing, if you don’t change the factors that are making you a hospitable host or impairing your digestion...nothing is going to change.

You can do all the testing in the world but it all comes back to the FOUNDATIONS.

When it comes to digestion, if you’re struggling with bloat after meals, try these tips:

- sit down to eat - no standing at the counter) this one is the hardest for me!), eating on the go, etc
- take 5 deep belly breaths before your meal (you want to calm your nervous system)
- chew your food *thoroughly* - until it’s applesauce consistency
- really try to eat without distractions - limit scrolling, working, multitasking
- you may also consider digestive enzymes, digestive bitters or ACV before a meal, especially lots of raw veggies!

If you’re still struggling, waking up bloated, or have other chronic digestive issues, or maybe worth exploring other causes:

- chronic stress
- gut dysbiosis
- low stomach acid
- low thyroid
- food sensitivities
- leaky gut / gut permeability
- mold

We finally made the switch to a certified organic

We finally made the switch to a certified organic NON-TOXIC MATTRESS @avocado.green (who by the way is on their way to becoming the world’s first zero-waste certified mattress factory!) #gifted

I’m on a mission to reduce the amount of endocrine disrupting chemicals we have in our home and a big source of chemicals is mattresses made with synthetic materials. These release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — like formaldehyde, toluene, benzene, phthalates, and more

Avocado Green Mattress is certified organic, environmentally friendly and contains no chemical flame retardants or harmful VOCs. And they have the certifications to back it up:
- Greenguard Gold certified for low-emissions
- GOTS-certified organic materials from their farms in India and Guatemala.
- MADE SAFE certified non-toxic
- Certified B Corporation

Plus, nothing compares to the sleep you get when your mattress feels like a cloud. #avocadomattress

LIVER DETOXIFICATION // one of the seven foundatio

LIVER DETOXIFICATION // one of the seven foundations of hormone balance. This complex process happens in three phases. The catch: you need to be support each phase STARTING with phase three first.

Meaning you need to be pooping DAILY.

If you’re not detoxing properly or you have a signs of an overburdened liver you need to:

1. focus on gut health and doing everything you can to be eliminating daily

2. support your bile production with bitter herbs and foods

3. support your liver with specific nutrients and foods — curcumin, cruciferous veggies, adequate protein, etc.

4. reduce toxin exposure — don’t add more work for your liver than necessary!

Remember, the liver is amazing at support and detoxing the body...until it isn’t. Supporting your liver is foundational for hormone balance.
