The holidays get a bad rep for being the reason people gain weight in the last quarter of the year. Truth is, those 2 meals won't make a dent. What does make a dent are the 100-something meals between Thanksgiving & the end of the year that people throw away because "what the hell, I already fucked up, I'll start over in January." Stop doing that.   Register for the FREE live coaching session I'm hosting on Tuesday, 11/30 for Navigating The Holiday Limbo & get some real answers to what you can do to look good, feel good & perform well throughout the holiday season.   I mentioned my favorite electrolyes in this episode- you can grab a sample pack of LMNT with this link: www.drinklmnt.com/ariellebloom & you just pay shipping! 

The supplement industry is an over $100 billion industry, and a lot of that goes to trash with low quality, poorly produced, and bio-unavailable nutrients.  Today, I sit down with Bridgitte Carroll, a Functional Dietitian and founder of GutPersonal, an empowerment and education company that sells supplements. We talk today about why everyone would benefit from supplementation, and how they can make the mindset shifts necessary to invest in themselves.   Find the GutPersonal Quiz HERE and use code "BLOOM" at checkout for 10% off your order!  You'll get personalized supplementation recommendations, along with the WHY.

Last week, I asked some questions about how the holidays feel for you- and one of the most common things I saw from your responses was that you put yourself and your needs on the back burner, and you're kind of just in survival mode for 2 whole months.    What if it didn't have to be like that? What if I challenged you (and held you accountable) to prioritize yourself- even at the bare minimum- so that you could actually balance enjoying the holidays AND feeling good in your body?    This holiday season is going to be pretty crazy for us- we're having our wedding in between thanksgiving and Christmas, and family will be together. Thanksgiving is my all-time favorite holiday, and in order to fully enjoy that day, I know that I have to prioritize my health and fitness needs around that day so that when I get there, I can actually be present without stress.   The Healthy Holidays Challenge was designed to hold myself accountable to the habits that allow me to feel good, bounce back, and not dread any social interactions because I'll be prioritizing feeling good about my choices and actions rather than feeling guilty or like I have to put someone else first.    Register HERE for the Healthy Holidays Challenge to start (and finish) the holiday season strong, joyful, and present!    Don't forget to follow me on instagram: @arielle_bloom for daily motivation, gut health, and kitchen tips/tricks (along with daily farm content, duh!)    

Women's hormone health might seem like a taboo topic, but the importance of promoting healthy hormones goes far beyond painless periods or decreasing PMS symptoms. Promoting optimal hormone function is a matter of optimal performance in life.  This week, Women's Hormone Health Coach, Dinara Mukh, and I dive into the basics of hormone health and some things we can implement in our own lives to optimize our hormonal cycles (or seasons, as Dinara calls them!).    You can find Dinara here: On Instagram: @dinara.mukh On TikTok: @dinara.mukh   As always, thank you to our sponsors!  Organifi- Use code BLOOM at checkout for 15% off!  Drink LMNT- Get a FREE sample pack (you just pay shipping!)

"Eating healthy is a privilege" is a dangerous narrative for many reasons. In this episode, Gabe and I dive into why we can't believe that narrative, and what we can choose to believe (and do) instead.    Some references we make in this episode: Miranda's post about her kids' eating habits Food Deserts in the US   As always, thank you to our podcast sponsors: Organifi- Use code BLOOM for 15% off!  Drink LMNT- Get a free sample pack- you just pay shipping!    Want to see if 1:1 Functional Nutrition Coaching is right for you?

"Bloating" is a big buzzword right now- gut health in general is blowing up!

So often, we are told to listen to our bodies, but that gets really hard to do when we've spent the majority of our lives trying to overwrite what our bodies are telling us based on social norms and fads.  In this episode, I sit down with my friend Alysha Evans, NTP, and we dive into how we can start to listen to our bodies to understand what they need, and how we can rewrite the story that we have to live with the health issues we're experiencing (because we don't!).   Find Alysha on instagram!   As always, HUGE shoutout to our podcast sponsors: Organifi- Use Code BLOOM at checkout for 15% off!  Drink LMNT- Get a FREE sample pack of the best electrolytes around- you just pay shipping!    Want to learn more about taking back control of your health?

Food is so much more than just fuel; It's connection, and it's delicious... but it can also be a huge source of stress for a lot of us. Especially with families, and more mouths to feed, and also trying to keep it all healthy!    Cassy Joy Garcia started trying to solve that problem for herself over 10 years ago when she started Fed&Fit, a blog where she shared delicious recipes. Fed&Fit has since evolved into a one-stop resource for recipes, health & wellness information. In this episode we sit down to talk about Cassy's personal health journey, how she got to writing her 3rd book, and why this 3rd book might just be the last cookbook you ever need!    You can follow Cassy on Instagram @fedandfit Pre-order Cassy's new cookbook, Cook Once Dinner Fix HERE Grab some more goodies when you preorder Cook Once Dinner Fix HERE   As always, HUGE thank you to our sponsors: Organifi- the best non-dairy protein powder on the market!

So you want to change your body composition, huh?  If you're unsure, let's look at it this way: Do you have less than 10 pounds you'd like to lose? Do you want to look leaner? Do you want to swap the body fat you have for muscle definition? Then yes, you want to change your body composition.  I love the human body for this reason. You can weigh relatively the same amount at two points in your lie, and your body composition can look completely different. That's because body weight is only part of the equation- muscle mass and fat mass are another part, and how your body functions is another part So when we take all of these pieces into account, we can look at what habits are required to be successful in changing body composition (rather than focusing on losing weight, because that might not actually be what you want!) It boils down to 5 habits that are required for body recomposition (creating that leaner look while still promoting performance), and I want to share them with YOU!    If you are looking for more support to change your body composition, nourish your body, and develop these habits (& more), check out my website for more information on coaching: www.ariellebloom.com and subscribe to my email list for weekly recipes, cooking tips and more HERE  

From the agricultural revolution, to industrial, to the chemical revolution and beyond, humans have been obsessed with making things more convenient and efficient, but at the sacrifice of tradition.    Buying meat from grocery stores is one of those conveniences that is actually causing more harm than good. Yes, more people have access, but the meat they have access to isn't helping them or anyone else. In this episode, I dive into how we can actually support the people raising the animals we eat at our meat, and how that ultimately allows us to save more money in the long run.    Here are some of the resources I mentioned in this weeks episode: Rep Provisions Force of Nature White Oak Pastures Butcher Box   If you want recipes, gut health tips, cooking/kitchen hacks, and more to your inbox weekly, make sure to sign up for my email list!  You can join HERE

Fasting might seem really enticing- you just don't eat and magical things happen ... according to science, right?  Fasting has the opportunity to bring real benefit to our bodies, AND as women fasting is a little bit more complex than for our male counterparts. There are so many complex systems that need to be taken into account if we are looking to include fasting in our lifestyles. In this episode, I dive into what some possible benefits could be, and what the signs are that it may not actually be working for you (and what to do if that's the case).    Learn more about 1-on-1 Functional Nutrition Coaching HERE! 

We've all heard the term, "mental health," and while times are changing, and more people are more openly discussing the importance of mental health, there is still a specific connotation that you don't work on it until you absolutely have to. Chelsea is redefining what it looks like to practice mental wellness, to focus more on thriving, rather than just waiting for the whispers to turn into screams.    Chelsea gets real and raw in this episode as she shares the struggles she is also dealing with, and we talk all about the options you have to begin this practice with support.   You can find Chelsea on her website HERE or on instagram HERE   As ALWAYS, thank you to our sponsors!

Self-care isn't really bubble baths or getting a massage.  It's setting boundaries, asking yourself the hard questions about your life, and getting uncomfortable in the short-term to fulfill your wildest dreams in the long-term. This week, my friend Samie & I dive into what it looks like to develop an actual self-care practice that changes the way you view your body & your life, and how she's making waves in her community in San Diego, CA, holding space for these conversations to be had. Listen to the episode, and then start your journey with this journal prompt: Can you recall the first time you felt conscious of your body?

Fitness can be a powerful tool to helping YOU get healthier. It can also be a dangerous mode of self-deprecation.  For me, it started with a love and passion for feeling strong, and it quickly turned into a fear of not burning enough calories. Laura (aka LD) is a very good friend of mine, co-host with me on a new podcast (Women Make Waves), and happens to know from her own experiences with body image issues and disordered eating what that can do for your love of fitness.  This episode is all about what LD has found that helped her move away from using exercise as punishment and toward using it to make herself feel strong, confident, and ready to take on any wild adventure- including the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim (thats like 50+ miles, btw!).   Keep up with LD here: Instagram: @laurardaiello   HUGE SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!  Organifi- Use code BLOOM for 15% off!

A lot of where our food comes from is such a cold and disconnected place- the fridge at the supermarket, meat processing plants, feedlots- and we are going to be part of the movement to change that.    You should have the deepest relationship with the person that is the source for the food you feed your family, because that's what makes or breaks your health.   In this episode, Gabe joined me to chat about why we bought 12 acres in Central Texas after traveling around the country in our RV for the past year to start a Regenerative Farm raising livestock.    Follow along with us on the journey!  Find Gabe on Instagram HERE Fine me (Arielle) on Instagram HERE   Shoutout to our Podcast Sponsors!  Organifi: www.organifishop.com use Code "BLOOM" at Checkout for a discount!  LMNT Electrolytes: www.drinklmnt.com/ariellebloom for a FREE sample pack- you just pay shipping! 

How many times have you tried a Whole30, or cut out Gluten or Dairy, because of digestive discomfort? It may not actually be the solution you're looking for.  The good news? There's a way to keep eating the foods you love AND solve your gut health ailments.  I'm joined this week by my friend, Bridgitte Carroll, who is a Functional Dietitian and Gut Health Guru. Bridgitte and I dive into what to do instead of an Elimination Diet, and why she loves testing poop (that's right, I said it!).  Find more about Bridgitte, and ways you can get your poop tested here: www.wellbybridgitte.com  and on Instagram here: @wellbybridgitte Download Bridgitte's Gut Health Masterclass HERE   PODCAST SPONSORS: LMNT Electrolytes Organifi - Use code "BLOOM" for 15% off! 

We all have heard the term "Mindful Eating" but very few of us have successfully done it, let alone mastered it. The thing is, eating mindfully is a practice like all others. You never really master it, but each time you practice, you'll feel better after. In this episode, I sit down with Liz DeJulius, a Functional Medicine Dietitian, who empowers people to practice mindful eating and repair their relationship with body & food. Liz is a wealth of knowledge, and simply put, a badass in how she makes you feel seen and understood. Listen on if you want to start eating mindfully, and definitely listen if you want the freedom to eat a donut every once in a while without feeling guilty or like you cheated on the biggest test of your life.    Find Liz on Instagram here:  @functionallyliz Find Liz on her website here:  www.functionallyliz.com  

We've all been there... overwhelmed, anxious, or frustrated by something that may be in our out of our control.    I don't know if it'll ever not happen, but I do know that we can choose to stay in a state of overwhelm... or we can choose to leave it behind.    In this episode, I dive into what I do to take myself out of overwhelm, and what I choose to focus on instead. ICYMI, we just bought a farm (and home) in Central Texas, and we are in the process of securing animals and furniture ... at the same time. There's a lot going on (to say the least). So suffice it to say, I've found myself dabbling in the overwhelm a few times this month.   Want to know more about the farm, our plans, or anything else I talked about on this episode?  Follow me here: @Arielle_bloom  

There's a big shift happening in the Health/Fitness Space. We're no longer completely obsessed or enamored by the shredded bodies that pay no mind to their health or longevity. We're learning to look for the middle ground- where can we be healthy and still look good naked?   Lauren and I sat down to dive into this idea of shifting our mindset, the baggage that comes with it, and where those parallels play into our mindset around the rest of our lives.   Find Lauren Hoey Wellness here: www.laurenhoeywellness.com Or on IG here: LoloHoey Lauren Hoey Wellness Or her gym (The Fitness Coalition) here: Viva La Coalition!    As always, I want to know your takeaways!

Waking up in the middle of the night to pee is super common, but it's not normal. In a healthy body system, your body actually down regulates some muscle function in order to promote better sleep and muscle recovery. But if you're not in a parasympathetic state (rest & digest), then your body may not be down regulating the functions it needs to in order to promote full recovery. Cue recurring dreams, sleep walking, snoring, and a few other sleep disorders.    Listen to this episode if you want to: - Get better sleep - Optimize the sleep you're getting - Wake up feeling energized and refreshed   Want to know more?

This episode was just that- no expectations, just a whole bunch of fun tangents.  Big Points: Should you actually make a New Year's Resolution? Why we don't love Challenges Why do really hard things once in a while? What are seed oils and why should we avoid them like the plague? What's deeper than just eating Whole & Unprocessed foods? Told you a lot happened today.

What do you reach for when you're stressed? How do you feel when you're done binging? How do you overcome emotional eating? It's deeper than you think.  We dove into emotional eating, preparing for stress, and what to do to overcome feeling obligated during the holidays.

On this episode of the Navigating Nutrition podcast, we talk about our experience going through a 72 hour fast.  In our pursuit to maximize our own health and performance, we are always looking for the next "crazy thing" we can self experiment with. Research has brought to light numerous benefits associated with prolonged fasting so we had to give it a try. Tune in as we share our experience and the key reasons why we decided to give this a try.  Enjoy! 

You can't be on a diet forever, so what does that actually mean in the context of your life?   There's a time and a place (if you choose to do it) to diet.  There's a time and a place to get stronger. They are not at the same time, and one might be longer than the other (hint: it's probably not the one you think!)   We're back to dive in and demystify periodization, how it can work for you and your lifestyle, and how you can put it into practice today!   Love this episode?!

OKAY OKAY Episode 3 is ACTUALLY AMAZING. Have you ever been through an incredibly difficult transition in life? We're literally living through one right now. Well I talked to my friend, Jill Gulotta who is a Dietitian AND Divorce Coach, last week about it all- transitioning in life, finding your sense of self, and what the heck self-care actually is and how you "do" it. No matter if you are ending a marriage, or ending a job- there's a true identity shift that comes with it. Jill and I talked about how you navigate that transition, and what you can do to find your true sense of self again in the midst of it all. And what about self-care? This is a buzz term to the max. Jill lays out some amazing and actionable self-care ideas you can put into place without spending time and energy you don't have! Give it a listen, and tag me and Jill with your takeaways! @Arielle_bloom @Jill.gulotta
