Collagen

I get asked all the time what healthy brands we use at home, so I decided to share some of my all-time favorites with you!

Ox Nutrition Collagen!

Collagen 1

As a registered dietitian, I love helping you use nutrition to feel your best. I believe that food can act like medicine to the body and I’m incredibly passionate about helping you understand how foods can improve your health and metabolism.

That’s one of the reasons I wanted to share the benefits of collagen with you— because it’s a protein our body CRAVES. It has specific amino acids (protein building blocks) that we don’t get enough of in our diet.

Here are just some more fun facts about collagen:

+ Rich in the amino acid glycine which can help our sleep quality and memory

+ Has been shown to help and be preventative for arthritis

+ Improves vascular health

+ Can decrease gut injury

+ Forget “anti-aging” serums, collagen helps promote elasticity and can reverse damage to the skin

+ Consuming collagen basically drives collagen production in our body – the most abundant protein

And I LOVE the Ox Nutrition brand. It’s high-quality, dissolves easily into liquids, and great for your health.

My Personal Experience

I’ve been using Ox Nutrition in our home for over a year!

Some ways I use it for myself and my family:

+ Mix it into my coffee or tea.

+ Mixes easily into things like smoothies, yogurt, cottage cheese, or soup to give a collagen boost.

+ I also add it to my both of my daughter’s food and beverages to get some collagen goodness in their little bodies!

I personally recommend the “Collagen Peptides” as your first purchase – such a great place to start

Is your gut health suffering? Do you need a step b Is your gut health suffering? Do you need a step by step process to get a healthier gut? If that’s you, join my 6 week {beta} program for Happy Healthy Guts! We start March 20th. Gut health is important for total health! So if you also have inflammation issues, low energy, weight or blood sugar struggles, then focus on gut health first. 

Oh! And what’s in my bowl? Chili lime chicken, red wine vinegar macerated shallots, pepperoncinis, cucumber, garbanzo beans, a sprinkling of feta and a dash of *good* olive oil. Delicious and vibrant! Would work great for a meal prep lunch.
Client: “I’ve noticed I feel leaner on my carb Client: “I’ve noticed I feel leaner on my carb days, when I’m including the resistant starch”

Yes! Brilliant connection here. Let’s back track a bit.. resistant starch is a type of fiber. It resists digestion until it gets to the colon where it gets slowly broken down by our gut bugs (yay! Feeding the colon dwellers! They need to eat too, ya know!) this is great news for your health, and if it’s a goal of yours, fat loss efforts. 

Resistant starch has been shown to:
✔️ increase satiety 
✔️ reduce the energy harvest from your food… lower caloric load
✔️ reduce after meal blood sugars and improve insulin sensitivity 
✔️ increase the breakdown of fat 
 (And more!)

Resistant starch and it’s different forms are in foods like semi green bananas, cooked and cooled potato, rice, and oats, beans.

Is it a panacea? Nope, nothing is, but it definitely is part of the puzzle and can make a big impact. 

‼️Disclaimer: some people need to improve gut strength and digestion before adding a bunch of resistant starch foods.
Have you ever eaten a salad only for it to go righ Have you ever eaten a salad only for it to go right through you? Or felt like fiber does the opposite and s-l-o-w-s your digestion? Maybe even looking at Brussels sprouts makes you bloated! 

That is FRUSTRATING when you’re trying to include more veggies or plant matter to your diet! It might make you feel like your gut hates healthy foods! 

Guess what? Proteins are good for the gut, and so are fibers and plant matter. So how do we get your gut stronger so it can digest your food properly!?

Glad you asked! In my Happy Healthy Guts course, week 1 is going to cover inflammation in the gut lining. We have a specific eating plan, some optional supplements, and movement patterns to get us on the right footing. We need to start cooling that inflammation to set up gut healing appropriately. . There’s a step by step process, not a random hope and wish - try this or that approach. 

We start March 20th! (That’s next Monday!) are you in? Link in profile to learn more and sign up
