    It’s never too late to make great changes! 

    On this episode of The Trimester Bubble, Dr. Katherine talks about her “back to basics” tips for the new year. Start small, make commitments you can stick to, and before you know it, you’ll be on your way to a year full of great sleep, balanced meals, and attainable exercise. 

    Sleep

    We often see patients in our office who are feeling the aches and pains of a poor night’s sleep. Set yourself up for success by:

    • Turning off electronics an hour before bed

    • Stop snacking a couple hours before bed

    • Take a hot shower or bath in the evening

    • Clear your bedroom from extra distractions

    Diet and Nutrition

    Rather than focusing on taking food away from your plate, focus on the ratio of food on your plate. Aim for:

    • Fruit and/or veggies on half your plate

    • Whole grains on a quarter of your plate

    • Protein on a quarter of your plate

    Steer clear of fried and processed foods as much as possible, and try out prepping your meals for the week on Sunday or Monday to make healthy weekday meals easier. 

    Exercise

    Move your body every day! If structured exercise sounds inaccessible, try out:

    • Walking for 20 minutes a day

    • Taking a weight lifting class at your local gym

    • Playing pickleball with friends

    • Gardening

    • Try a yoga for beginners class

    In this episode you’ll hear about:

    • What sleep does for your mind and body

    • Meal prepping

    • Balanced portions

    • How much water to drink each day

    • The two main types of exercise

    • Weekly exercise goals (and how to make it super accessible)

    • What exercise does for your mind and body

  • 08: Managing the Holiday Season
    2023/11/21
    The holiday season can bring up a lot of emotions around self, family, events, food, and more. This week on the Trimester Bubble, we chatted with Jessica Van Antwerp for a better understanding of stress and learned some helpful, practical ways to tackle stress this season! Why is Stress Management Important? Stress levels are a key indicator of overall health (as well as nutrition and movement). It’s a contributing factor to all major diseases and changes your body’s processes when heightened. Finding ways to manage the stress of everyday life and the added stressors of life events and holidays can support your longterm disease prevention, help you absorb vitamins and minerals better, and support your body’s innate healing process. Stress Management Ideas Stress management can include anything that helps you breathe and slow down. This might look like: Getting a massage Take three mindful breaths Meditating Practice qigong Go for a walk in nature Spend time in a steam room Paint Dance Sip tea (without your phone around) Put your bare feet in the grass, sand, or water Self Care While “self care” can feel like a buzzword, it can be pretty simple and very helpful. During the relentless pace of the holiday season, your stress management practices will make great self care practices.  There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to self care, but we’ve put together some ideas to get you started on your self care path: Take time for yourself, even if it’s a couple minutes a day Connect with yourself through meditation and/or movement Grounding (learn more in the podcast!) Eat nutritious meals Get a good nights sleep In this episode you’ll hear about: The common stressors and feelings that come up around the holidays like keeping your center around family and managing travel anxiety Understanding “grounding” and how to do it! Qigong as moving meditation for health Pillars of health: nutrition, movement, relaxation How our fight or flight response impacts our physical bodies and how to deal with daily stress Qigong as a way to connect with your growing baby and yourself What is self care really? The importance of managing your stress and the detrimental effects of unmanaged stress Taking control of your own health Resources in this Episode: Pain-Free Pregnancy registration Body & Balance website Jessica’s Website for wellness coaching Jessica’s Website for Retreats Intro to Chigong online course: Use discount code “alottalove” for $100 off!
