Recently, I attended a detox talk at Pure and Simple where the panelists talked all about how to detox our bodies daily and about natural deodorant. There was so much great information shared that night and it really got me thinking that I have never talked in much detail about why to use natural organic deodorant and specifically which ones I like the best. So I decided to ask a poll on my insta stories to see how many people were using natural deodorants and there were about 20% of people that were a little nervous to try natural deodorant. It’s a big deal, I get it and it can be really hard to find a natural organic deodorant that works, so I wanted to do my part and share with you what I have found to be the most effective. …
How to Use Essential Oils in Everyday Life
In this post, I want to share with you how to use essential oils in everyday life, simply and effectively. But before I get to that, I was to share something else with you- I am probably one of the most skeptical people out there. And yet, in the past few years, I have allowed myself to open up A LOT more to new experiences, foods, products, crystals and yes even tarot cards. The old Jaclyn would have thought it was all a little too ‘woo woo’ and wouldn’t have given it another thought. I am actually really happy that I have opened up a lot more to things that can’t always be explained and have to be experienced. Because had I not done this, I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today. So lets get to how to use essential oils in everyday life and specifically, how they helped me with anxiety, stress and PMS, pretty amazing right?! …
Self Love After Weight Gain: How To Change Your Mindset, Not Your Dress Size
Self love after weight gain is tough, it requires a deep mindset shift and today I am sharing four mindeset shifts that I hope will inspire you to learn to show yourself love no matter what. We are more than half way through February, the month after January otherwise known as Diet-uary. Uhhhmmm, did I just make that up, yes, yes I did. But you know how it goes, January is the month where many attempt to start new healthy habits, diet and of course lose weight. The obsession with weight loss is so real which is why the weight loss industry is a billion dollar business. They work because they prey on your emotions, your fears and society’s unbelievable and unattainable standards of beauty. If January is national diet month, then February is love month, with Valentine’s Day and all. But, what if instead of focusing all our love on things, we turned that inwards and focused on self love. Learning how to show yourself love after weight gain is one of the hardest but most rewarding things I learned how to do. I want to share some mindset shifts that really made self love after weight gain possible….
Guest Post: How Self Care Helped Heal My Relationship with Food
I am so excited to introduce fellow Holistic Nutritionist and friend, Rachel Molenda! She is talking all about self care activities and what self care really means. I wrote about self care here, and I love how Rachel agrees that self care isn’t about going to a spa or getting a massage (though those are nice). It is about the deeper work that you need to do. I love how Rachel connects self care activities with helping to heal your relationship to food. I hope you enjoy this guest post as much as I did reading it!…
Superfood Mushroom Latte: AKA Brain Fuel
I am a BIG latte fan which is surprising to some people because I don’t drink coffee. Is that weird?

So today I am sharing my fave superfood mushroom latte, aka brain fuel, featuring one of the best products out there and one of my personal faves- Four Sigmatic. …

Can you be a Healthy Intuitive Eater?
As someone who identifies as an intuitive eater and a Holistic Nutritionist, I have struggled with the idea that the two cannot exist together. Can you be a healthy intuitive eater? If you are immersed in the anti-diet culture and involved in the intuitive eating space, I am sure you have come across numerous posts that talk about eating whatever you want followed by pictures of candy and anything else not labeled as “healthy.” So if I happen not to partake in a lot of this food, does that also mean that I am still immersed in diet culture in some way? I don’t think so, but it can be really confusing to talk about intuitive eating and then only show pictures of smoothie bowls, salads and healthy desserts. So can you be a healthy intuitive eater? Let’s discuss… …
How to Stop Emotional Eating & Why You’re Doing It
If there is one thing I know, it’s that our relationship to food can often be defined as “it’s complicated,” and so many are searching for how to stop emotional eating. Women especially have a hard time with food, dieting and our relationship to ourselves and how we treat ourselves. It shouldn’t be surprising though, we are bombarded by societal standards of what beauty is (and isn’t) on a daily basis and we are constantly receiving messages on what/how to eat via diet culture. For all of these reasons and so many more, we can often times eat emotionally. …
Advice to My Younger Self
I really wanted to write a post with advice to my younger self to share lessons I have learned over the past 34(!!) years. Seeing as it is the new year and my birthday, I thought it would be a great time to do so. If I think back to my 20-year old self, I don’t think I would recognize her as the same person. Even if I think back only 8-10 years, I still would not be able to recognize that person. So much happened in my mid to late 20’s and it really did change my life forever. But if I had the opportunity to give advice to my younger self, I have a few things that I would like to say.

How to Eat Intuitively: From Guilt to Mindful Eating
Learning how to eat intuitively has changed my life, I went from saying “I shouldn’t have ate that” to I can eat whatever I want, but it wasn’t always this way. I used to feel ALL THE GUILT that would come after eating. I thought this was what all girls and women did. My mom did it, so did aunts, cousins and friends. As I got older, I noticed pretty much all the women I knew did this to some extent, so I normalized it. Eating food that was deemed as “bad” or unhealthy was to be eaten in shame. But I did change all of this when I learned how to eat intuitively and challenged my relationship with food. I am sharing how to eat intuitively with you so you too can experience food freedom….
