Delicious Drink to Unwind (and it's good for you!)
There’s something about ending the night with a cozy drink that just helps me to unwind and drift into a good night’s rest. It’s my little form of self care at the end of a long day! This golden turmeric latte is delicious and packed with ingredients that are good for you!

First of all, let’s talk about ginger! This goodness soothes the Gut Lining and increases the presence of prostaglandins, which are hormone like substances in the body. They fight against inflammation, which protects and heals the gut lining.

Next up is turmeric! Did you know that part of the reason that turmeric is in curry powder is because it adds an element of deliciousness to food? But turmeric can also play an important role in digesting that food. Because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric can contribute to healthy digestion.

Lastly, there’s cinnamon which is an underrated, but really valuable spice. Some spices, including cinnamon, have prebiotic properties. Consuming them regularly may help restore the balance of bacteria in your gut, support digestive health and alleviate digestive issues.

You need: 1 tbsp ginger (grated), 1 cup canned coconut milk, 1 cup water, 1 tsp turmeric (powder), 1 tbsp raw honey, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 1/2 tsps coconut oil.

Grate the ginger and squeeze the juice into a pan. Discard the pulp. Add remaining ingredients and heat though; don't let it boil. Whisk continuously. Transfer to a mason jar and seal with a lid. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until foam starts to form. Pour into a glass and enjoy

I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
