Juicing 101

March 14, 2021

I wanted to write a post about juicing 101 because juicing is one of the first wellness world things I got really into when I started my health journey. I like to describe juicing kind of like taking a shot of tequila and feeling tipsy- but instead of alcohol, juicing is flooding your bloodstream as quickly as a shot with vitamins and minerals! Since the fiber is removed, the body does not have to process and break down the vegetables and fruits. So the nutrients are absorbed asap. Let’s chat about the benefits of juicing and tips for the perfect juice recipe.

Juicing 101

Benefits of Juicing:

For one, juicing allows you to get much larger amounts of fruits and vegetables into your diet- especially leafy greens! Think about how large of a bowl you would need if you were to sit down and eat all the vegetables versus how quickly you can consume these when they are added to a juice. For example, a whole head of kale makes just about ⅕ cup of juice- if that! 

Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, juicing is like taking a shot of instant nutrition. All the fiber has been removed during the juicing process, so it’s much easier for the body to digest. Drinking juice let’s the body more easily absorb the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. It’s like taking a liquid multivitamin. 

Tips for the perfect juice:

Juices can be full of anti-inflammatory superfoods, hydrating, high in antioxidants, detoxifying, and so much more. Here are a few tips for the perfect juice recipe.

-Watch out for too much fruit. While fruit is super healthy and full of nutrients, it does contain natural sugar which can cause blood sugar to spike. My general rule of thumb is to include no more than 1 apple in your juice per serving if you need to keep it sweet.

-Pack in the greens. If you don’t mind it, nix the fruit altogether and focus on vegetables. My goal for clients with adding juices into their diet is to help them easily and quickly get in 6-8 cups of leafy greens a day. Go for kale, celery, romaine, watercress, swiss chard, etc!

-Add unique veggies and herbs. For example, things like ginger or turmeric root, cucumber, carrots, beets, parsley, and dandelion are not usually a weekly household staple for me. However, I love to pick them up when I plan on juicing that week because they are amazing for detoxifying and can easily be thrown in the juicer.

How to incorporate juices into your diet:

-I always tell my clients that something they can do to dramatically improve their health that requires very little time, money, and effort is to try and squeeze in one big green juice per week. 

-You can also make juicing really easy on yourself and just buy one at your local health food store or juice bar. I won’t lie to you- juicing is a pain, mainly because the clean up is annoying. So on days when I am feeling a little lazy, I’ll ask Whole Foods to do the work for me. I’ll have them make me a fresh juice to sip on while I do my grocery shopping for the week.

-Focus on fresh juice and consume it within 24-48 hours. This is because it really starts to lose its nutritional value the longer it sits in the fridge. If you’re buying your juice from a store shelf versus making it at home, look at the date the juice was made. I’d recommend opting for the freshest option possible and avoiding juices that have 30+ days shelf life that undergo HPP (high pressure processing). 

Should you do a juice cleanse? 

I get a ton of questions from people wanting to do juice cleanses. This could be a whole other post, but I wanted to be sure to quickly cover it in this juicing 101 guide. There are pros and cons to a juice cleanse. You will definitely reap the benefits of a huge increase in nutrients and enhanced, natural detoxification. However, it’s not sustainable to keep weight off and I personally think they can be extremely hard to stick to. In my experience, to reset and detox, exploring a plant-based diet is much more manageable. Be sure to book a free consultation with me here to learn more and we can come up with a custom plan to reach your health goals.

Juicer Recommendations:

I’d recommend the Omega brand or the Nama brand cold press juicers.

I feel like no one is really talking about this… I feel like no one is really talking about this… 

so I just wanted to say that if spironolactone (a medication originally meant to treat things like heart failure and high blood pressure) is not the “miracle drug” for your hormonal acne that you were promised, you are NOT ALONE.

I’ve been in your shoes. 👞 

And I’ve heard this over and over again from other women.

Is this you? leave a 💚💚💚 if so.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you h I don’t know who needs to hear this but if you have a “gut feeling” deep inside you that your acne is from something off internally, I’m telling you- TRUST YOUR GUT. 

It’s your second brain and intuition is no joke. The body is a crazy smart biocomputer. And with skin conditions, it’s sending you a big fat message to listen to it.

Have you been sitting in a dermatologist’s office lately to yet again be shoved another prescription into your hands? 

Do you want to get off spironolactone or birth control? 

Stop that round of antibiotics? 

If it’s not the answer to your problem that you want, you don’t have to choose it.

DM me “gut feeling” if you want to learn how to look inward to heal your acne for good.

ACNE SCARS PART 2- My Top 3 Tips for Healing Acne ACNE SCARS PART 2- My Top 3 Tips for Healing Acne Scars

Ok if you didn’t see Part 1 of this series, go back to that post (DM me and I’ll share with you.) I talk about the most important thing to do BEFORE you treat acne scars.

After any chronic acne has healed, scars and hyperpigmentation/dark spots can be what you focus on wanting to treat to feel fully clear.

Keep reading for a few key tips to help fade acne scars:

💚Know that topical treatments alone are not the best or only solve. Nutrition plays a super important role in healing from the inside out. It’s all about anti-inflammatory and antioxidant rich foods like fruits & veggies with lots of vitamin C which aids in collagen production, Vitamin A, & B vitamins for healing wounds. 

💚When it comes to fancy procedures like lasers etc, microneedling could be a good option to consider - it’s more gentle and won't disrupt the skin microbiome. 

💚For dark spots, pure essential oils can be a game changer. People always underestimate the power of nature but these babies are strong if you’re using a quality product. (DM me if you want to know the only brand I personally trust & would put on my face!) For ex: Helichrysum and frankincense can be V effective.

Red flag 🚩🚩🚩- dermatologists and doctors Red flag 🚩🚩🚩- dermatologists and doctors trying to treat your acne but having very little nutrition training. 

(Before you at me, plz know I am not hating on those in the conventional medical system. Just calling out a piece of it that is broken. Keep reading…)

Look, food is medicine. There’s no doubt about it. And if food is medicine, why isn’t it taught at medical schools? On average, most medical schools in the United States teach less than 25 hours of nutrition over four years, and that’s if the school even requires nutrition programming (about 80% of medical schools have no such requirement).

I’m really not trying to hate on docs and derms. It’s not their fault, they truly are just trying to do their job and help you by offering prescriptions as the solution to clear your skin. But sadly the education system is broken and besides skincare or pharmaceutical drugs, they aren’t really trained to understand what else to offer you, ya know?

To successfully heal acne, we need an inside out approach, by addressing the root causes of acne, and all diseases for that matter. And nutrition is typically the first step to healing. 

Who’s with me? 💚👇🏻

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if your I don’t know who needs to hear this but if your skin is super broken out right now and you’re feeling down and depressed and frustrated, try to think of it this way…

Acne is truly a blessing in disguise. It alerts you that internal inflammation is going on and helps you avoid worse diagnosis down the road.

Hopefully, it prompts you to dig a little deeper. Become a detective with your health. Ask questions. Get curious about your acne. Why are these red bumps showing up on your face? What is going on beneath the surface of your skin that is causing breakouts over and over again?

Don’t accept it. You deserve answers and you deserve to heal. Don’t just think that it’s up to fate or genetics. I’m telling you, it’s not. You can fix it.

Tell me, how long have you been struggling with acne and getting no answers? 👇 

I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been there. Here to support you on every step of this skin journey. It can be a bitch. But you can 100% come out a stronger version of yourself on the other side.💚

ACNE SCARS PART 1- The # 1 thing to do BEFORE you ACNE SCARS PART 1- The # 1 thing to do BEFORE you treat acne scars…

Stop your chronic acne breakouts first. 

❗DON’T treat acne scars or hyperpigmentation UNTIL your active acne is healed and isn’t coming back.

Otherwise, it’s a vicious and never ending cycle! You try to help the scars, then you break out again and you pick and let it scab over and then you have another scar to deal with. ugh!

❗If you’re still experiencing chronic AKA persistent and ongoing acne flare ups, it is CRUCIAL you address and heal the acne first. 

❗Remember, this is a sign from your body that something internal is off and to avoid greater health issues down the road you need to fix this imbalance sooner than later!

Then, once you are in recovery mode, we can treat the aftermath that is scars. If you need help getting started, DM me.
