Olive Oil 1

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!

Kasandrinos Olive Oil!

Several years back I learned that not olive oils are the same. In fact, there are many olive oils on the grocery shelves that have gone rancid or are diluted with other oils such as soybean or vegetable oils. How disappointing! Especially if you are choosing olive oil for the health benefits, which there are many.

A high-quality olive oil should be stored in a dark glass bottle and be pure, extra-virgin olive oil. It should be peppery and almost sting the throat a bit – that’s a sign of a high polyphenol count, the plant compounds that are beneficial for our health. It also has healthy monounsaturated fats, wonderful for your heart health!

Kasandrinos olive oil is the olive oil we choose in our home. It’s the best! I won’t use anything else. It’s fresh, it’s delicious, and it’s pure. It also has high amounts of those polyphenols that are protective for your health.

It’s honestly the best around!

My Personal Experience

I’ve been using Kasandrinos in our home for a year and a half now. It’s a product I truly love and am a customer for life!

I personally recommend the “Ionian Bundle” for your first purchase because you can get a normal bottle of olive oil, but also have the big tin on hand for refills. And don’t forget to add the little travel sized bottle! I keep that in my purse and use it as salad dressing at restaurants. Honestly, talking about this olive oil is making me want to go into the kitchen and get some. It’s that good!

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
