Today's guest is Breanna LeBlanc, a Wellness Coach and Model passionate about helping people feel amazing in their mind, body and life. We talked about her personal story with Celiac Disease, Lactose intolerance, mental health, and how she took her own experience to help others break down limiting beliefs, old identities and unsupportive patterns that have been keeping them stuck in their current reality and comfort zone. I wasn't aware that most of a person's Serotonin (the happiness hormone) is produced in the gut. Wow. We discussed what insights she's gained from overcoming many of the obstacles she went through and what daily actions are helpful to all those interested in a healthier gut, and happier life. Here's where you can find her: Instagram: @bre.fitmodel and @wholesome.wealth Website: breannaleblanc.ca 3 Tips from Breanna for those who want to improve their gut health and mental wellbeing: - Eat Wholefoods: Reduce the amount of preservatives, gmo, pesticides and antibiotics (found in meats), as they have negative impacts on your gut health. More leafy greens, frozen or in season fruit, complex carbs and clean meats (organic, grass fed, local, no antibiotic, etc) will better fuel your body's internal health. - Know your Food Sensitivities: Food sensitivities can have a variety of harmful effects on your health by throwing off your body's internal balance (digestion, hormones, mood, etc). By knowing your food sensitivities, you can bring your body back to a state of equilibrium, which is a state of health, and will produce higher levels of mental wellbeing! - Reduce Stress: Stress (mental, emotional, physical and environmental), slows all of your bodies functions, and can cause a variety of health and mental health concerns. By working on mental wellbeing, emotional balance, physical health and removing environmental toxicities, you can elevate your mood, and create a healthier self!
