Unplugging from Reality

Alright guys, I know it’s been awhile. But, I am back!

Lately, I’ve felt the strong desire to start writing/blogging again. It may not be as frequent as I’d like (work, workouts, traveling, and life are to blame), but I am determined to make it a somewhat regular thing. Along with blogging, I will be posting more healthy recipes and workouts. And on that note … I am now taking on new clients for macro plans and training programs! In the meantime, take a peek at some of my current recipes and workouts!

Just a quick update on my life…. I am now living in Texas and it’s been great. Granted, I have yet to experience a true Texas summer.  I’m taking this time to mentally prepare myself. I’m staying busy working full time, visiting Blake in Houston, staying consistent with my workouts, and enjoying all that Austin has to offer! I don’t really miss California. However, I REALLY miss my family and friends, as expected. Which brings me to the purpose of this post … Having faith.

Picture

Last weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend Outback University in New Ulm, TX.  This time was spent without cellphones/social media, meeting new friends, and praising the Lord in all His glory. I had a feeling this experience would be awesome, but I am so thankful for how wonderful it actually was. After leaving Outback, I realized I spent the weekend completely present.  Not just physically present, but also, mentally. It is so easy for me to always look forward to the next thing and miss out on the present- as I’m sure many of you can relate. Without having the distraction of my phone, I had the chance to fully, 100% focus on the task at hand- spending time with the lovely ladies I had the honor of meeting and developing a deeper, stronger relationship with our Savior.

Picture

Being fully present while at Outback U, I came to realize a couple of different things… 1) Before relocating to Texas, Iknew the move would be a huge leap of faith for me. Giving up control and giving my whole life to God has been a struggle for me in the past. It wasn’t until this weekend that I realized how much my relationship with Him has really grown. Spending 48 hours in His presence and surrounded by His beautiful creation allowed me to understand how much I have learned to trust in Him. If you know me personally, you probably know that it can be difficult for me to let go of worry and fear. I’m such a planner and I like to know what’s coming my way. Moving to Texas helped me learn to let go & let God. Of course, I’ve spent years practicing this and praying for God’s help. But, I hope that those of you who have the same struggle will be able to take a leap of faith when given the opportunity. God has your best interest at heart and is always there to pick you up when you stumble. Trust in His goodness and faithfulness.
2) Not only did I realize how much my relationship with Jesus has grown, but I learned how incredibly faithful He truly is. This may seem like a silly realization. But, coming from a girl who doesn’t like uncertainty or the unknown, it is such a relief to know that God is always faithful. I’m a firm believer that He rewards those who give their whole life to Him- not 50% or even 99%. Knowing that He will always be with me, pick me up when I fall, love me when I’m alone, and provide whatever I may need, is an extremely comforting truth. Not to say, I will never struggle or fail. I know hardships are in my future (lots of them) and I am confident that our Father will use my struggles for His glory.During one of the talks over the weekend, the speaker described this passage to us … Isaiah 30:18 “Yet, the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore, He will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are those who wait for Him.” The Lord our God stands up from His almighty throne for us. If that’s not an overwhelming and comforting thought, then I don’t know what is. Why should we be fearful to trust Him with all of ourselves when He is willing to rise from His throne just to show us compassion?So, unplugging from reality… This is probably one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in awhile. Taking away all life’s distractions and focusing on what truly matters. I am so thankful to have experienced this past weekend because, without it, I wouldn’t have realized how much I have grown in my own walk with God. I encourage every single person who reads this post to spend at least one day away from your reality. Focus on our King and let Him show you how faithful He is.P.S. If you get the chance to go to an Outback America weekend, go! You can find more information about Outback University here.

Coming back atcha with the nourishing food swaps! Coming back atcha with the nourishing food swaps! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've gotten so backwards with our eating habits and diets, that most of us would consider nourishing foods to be "unhealthy!"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, I'm here to bust these common food myths and get you on the road to a nourished body 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today's focus: cooking oils! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Next time you load up on cooking oils, you can walk right past the canola oil, sunflower oil, margarine, and olive oil. These oils are highly unstable, meaning they turn toxic at lower cooking temps. And you never want to cook with them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead, opt for STABLE cooking oils, like coconut oil, ghee, grass-fed butter, or avocado oil! Not only do these cooking fats stay stable at higher cooking temps, but they also provide essential fat-soluble vitamins, energize your mind and body, and make your food taste so much better! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't believe me? Just try it for yourself and let me know how you feel + how much better your food tastes! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Should you drink coffee or skip it?!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IMO, coffee has unfairly gained a bad rap over the last couple years. Sure, it shouldn't be used as a crutch for energy, but it definitely doesn’t need to be ditched all together!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As with most things in life, coffee comes with it's boundaries. Outside it's boundaries, coffee can cause: gut distress, hormonal imbalance, adrenal fatigue, etc. I'm sure most of us have experienced the bathroom problems, jitters, and anxiety coffee CAN cause, which is why I think there's so much confusion around coffee.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, when is coffee a good thing? Within it's ground rules! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coffee Ground Rules:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Never drink coffee on an empty stomach. Without food, coffee creates a hormonal catastrophe. It spikes blood sugar and depletes adrenals, leaving you feeling exhausted later in the day and putting your body into a chronic state of stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Add grass fed, raw cream/butter, sugar, and/or collagen to your coffee- but only the real stuff! These REAL ingredients will help regulate your blood sugar and feed your adrenals. The worst thing you can do for your thyroid and adrenals is drink coffee black on an empty stomach!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Opt for high quality coffee that is third party tested. Most conventional coffee beans are packed with mycotoxins (aka mold) that isn’t healthy to consume. Looking for coffee that is third party tested helps ensure the quality and benefits of your coffee. Personally, I like Four Sigmatic, Bulletproof, and Illy coffee!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'd be lying if I said I didn't LOVE drinking my hot, frothy cup of coffee each morning. But since learning to enjoy it within it's limits, I've felt a HUGE difference. I'm no longer anxious or jittery because due to drinking black coffee on an empty stomach! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, tell me: did you know these coffee boundaries? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As promised, after a CRAZY few days, we’re back As promised, after a CRAZY few days, we’re back to our regular programming... Starting with adrenal fatigue! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you suffering from this thing called “adrenal fatigue?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately, most of us are dealing with a degree of adrenal fatigue- thanks to high stress lifestyles, processed diets, exposure to everyday toxins, etc.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even worse, most of these common symptoms are considered "normal” 🙅🏻‍♀️ And most of us just deal with them, thinking it'll never change. But we are so WRONG!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if I told you: you don't HAVE to live with brain fog, fatigue, low libido, insomnia, depression, and/or weight gain?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because it’s true!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you bring your body back into balance, these symptoms naturally dissipate, and once again, you can live with energy, vibrancy, and excitement!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you deal with these symptoms of adrenal fatigue, here's where you can start:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. SLEEP. Aim for 8 hours a night and prioritize sleep over workouts. Without adequate sleep, the adrenals will naturally suffer big time! If you have trouble sleeping, try eating a bedtime snack, eating foods high in magnesium, and blocking out blue light.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. EAT. No, 1,200 calories per day is NOT ENOUGH. Eat more balanced meals, about 3-4 hours apart. And, don't get me started on "low carb" diets. Your body needs carbs for energy, so do your adrenals! Eating now carb is the best way to put your body into a chronic state of stress.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. MOVE. Find a low intensity activity you enjoy (ie. walking, leisurely biking, roller skating) and do it several times a week. If you can get your movement in outside, that's even better. The sun is your best source of Vitamin D! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you suffer from any of these symptoms? What has your experience been with adrenal fatigue? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In case you missed it, Texas has been dealing with In case you missed it, Texas has been dealing with record breaking temperatures, snow fall, and power outages. *Photo is from day 1 before we knew just how crazy things were about to get!*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After almost 24 hours without power and water, our water came back on and we’ve experienced intermittent power. I am SO THANKFUL to have a working stove, running water, and warm home. I know so many other Texans aren’t as lucky.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll be back next week to share about adrenal fatigue, coffee hacks, and more nourishing food swaps. But for now, will you join me in praying for Texas? Specifically for:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• the restoration of power and clean water ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• protection over families and homes⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• quick provision over busted pipes and other house issues⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• warm food and drinking water⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️❤️❤️❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

As someone with a MAJOR sweet tooth, I definitely As someone with a MAJOR sweet tooth, I definitely understand the challenge of sugar cravings! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What about you?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a feeling most of us are a little too familiar with the challenge of sugar cravings. And if you're not, I don't think I believe you.. 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, sugar cravings aren't JUST sugar cravings. They're a great indicator that our body needs some specific support! When I started listening to my body and feeding it the nutrients it needed, my sugar cravings practically disappeared. Sure, I still LOVE a delicious sweet treat, but it's no longer an insatiable craving. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you want to gain control over your sugar cravings, too?Here's where you can start:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Eat balanced meals with protein, carbs, and fat.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Focus on eating whole foods, instead of processed and packaged options.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Eat a meal or snack every 3-4 hours.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Drink water with a sprinkle of pink Himalayan salt or sea salt throughout the day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These tips will help regulate your blood sugar, meet your nutrient needs, and provide energy to your mind and body. As a result, you can expect to have LESS SUGAR CRAVINGS! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tag a friend who also has a major sweet tooth! 👇🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Homemade cookies! I mean, is that even a question?!?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And these Copy Cat Hippie Chip Cookies are just what you're looking for. They’re a homemade version of the BEST cookie from my favorite hometown bakery. Since I no longer live there, I had to perfect this homemade version and I'd say it's pretty darn close. These cookies are chewy, chunky, and sweet & salty. The best kind of cookie, if you ask me! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, in case chewy cookies aren't your thing, I have other delicious and nutritious cookies on the blog, like Paleo Chocolate Chips Cookies and Pecan Chocolate Cookie Dough Bites! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To get these recipes, head to the blog and search (at the top of the screen) for "cookies" 👉🏼 @nourishedbykelseynicole

Is your liver sluggish? 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀ Is your liver sluggish? 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fact of the matter is most of our livers could use a little extra love, thanks to poor diets, stressful lifestyles, alcohol and OTC drugs, and other environmental toxins.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fundamentally, a healthy liver is NEEDED for detoxing toxins, producing hormones and cholesterol (yes, you need cholesterol), storing and delivering nutrients, and providing glucose for fuel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, yeah. Healthy livers are important! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But how do we know if our liver needs some love? Common indicators include skin issues, frequent headaches, digestive upset from greasy/fatty foods, morning sickness, and pain in the upper right abdomen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Luckily, there are many whole foods that naturally support a healthy liver! To give your liver a little extra love, include these liver superfoods in your diet:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Beets⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Dandelion root⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Bone broth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Grass-fed liver⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Lemon ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, do yourself a favor and love on your liver! ❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When did “eating healthy” get so complicated?! When did “eating healthy” get so complicated?!?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What if we decided to simply EAT REAL FOOD that nourishes and satisfies our bodies?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the last several years, I've shifted from a low calorie, artificially sweetened diet to eating real, whole foods and let me tell ya...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have energy. My hormones are balanced and my menstrual cycle is regulated. I no longer crave sweets (but, I still love a good-sized chunk of dark chocolate). I feel satisfied and happy for hours after eating. I'm less likely to feel hangry. My sleep has improved, as well as my mood.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Basically, my life has drastically changed. In the best way possible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While everyone is DIFFERENT (and this is in no way intended to be a meal plan for anyone), it's a great example of what a typical "day of eating" looks like for me. You'll find lots of nourishing, real foods full of quality carbs, fat, protein, and dare I say... sugar?! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want in on this delicious, satisfying, energizing, anti-diet way of life, give your girl a shout! 👉🏼 @nourishedbykelseynicole⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What YOU need to know about PMS⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Monthly PMS symptoms are common, but they ARE NOT NORMAL! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wish I could scream this from the rooftops because I've seen too many women hopelessly struggle with monthly PMS for years, thinking it's just expected. It's part of "being a woman."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But, this couldn't be further from the truth! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most common PMS symptoms, like headaches, skin breakouts, cramps, cravings, and mood swings, all have a root cause. THEY ARE NOT NORMAL.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some common triggers/causes of monthly PMS symptoms include:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- A high stress lifestyle⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Refined and processed foods⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Thyroid dysfunction⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Nutrient deficiencies⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Blood sugar imbalances⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Excess caffeine consumption⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, if you struggle with PMS symptoms before or during your period, now what? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's time to play detective... Manage the emotional and physical stress in your life, test for nutrient deficiencies, support healthy thyroid and adrenal function, eat balanced meals made with REAL food, limit caffeine and alcohol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moral of the story: DON’T SETTLE FOR PMS!
