I took a leap of faith about a month ago, and have been dropping hints about it the past few weeks 😏 But today I'm sharing what I've been up to!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Last week I shared that I was diagnosed with PCOS in September, and essentially became my own health advocate the past year and took it into my own hands to combat the weight gain and symptoms from PCOS 💪🏼 🥑🥕🥬🍋🧘🏻♀️ Through this process, I realized my true passion is in nutrition and I am excited to announce I am training to become a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach through @nutritionschool 👩🏻💻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can't begin to explain the fire inside of me I get when I talk about Health Coaching and how passionate I am about this field!! I am so excited to be able to educate, help, and empower girls to live a healthier and happier life! 💚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More details on the blog today about what Health Coaching is (and what it isn't) and the path that led me to realizing I needed to take this leap of faith! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever taken a leap of faith and pursued your passion? I’d love to hear about it as I begin this new chapter! 👇🏼 #healthcoach #integrativenutrition #integrativenutritionhealthcoach #iinhealthcoach #iin #integrativehealth #healthandwellness #stjdreamcatcher #starttodayjournal #followyourdreams #followyourpassion #dreamcatcher #wellness #pcos #pcosawareness
It’s finally the WEEKEND! I don’t know about you, but this week felt like it dragged on (and I worked a four day week 🤪)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I usually kick off our weekend with these Vegan Blueberry Banana Oat Pancakes with a drizzle of almond butter and light splash of 100% maple syrup 🥞 butttt woke up feeling kinda sick so made oatmeal instead... and the hubs was not happy to find out our pancake Saturday tradition was not happening today 😂 I’ve been showing you these pancakes in stories the past few weeks, and guess what?? The recipe is finally on the blog 🙌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Link is in my bio for these delish pancakes to help you start your Saturday right! Have a great weekend friends!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS: do you think my food photography skills are improving?! I’m trying so hard guys 😂 let me know what you think 👇

BPA 🙈 I’m sure you’ve heard of BPA, but do you know why it’s so “bad” for your health? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I kept hearing that BPA wasn’t great, but didn’t take it seriously until I heard a podcast by @nataliecrawfordmd and @drlorashahine where they discuss that BPA was originally developed to be a synthetic estrogen 😳 I know, isn’t that scary?! And definitely not what I need with my fertility issue.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I did a little more research, and found that since BPA is an endocrine disrupter, it can imitate the body’s hormones, and therefore it can interfere with the production, secretion, transport, action, function, and elimination of natural hormones. Over the years, many studies have linked the possibility that BPA may cause reproductive disorders, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, fetal brain development effects, breast and prostate cancer, and asthma (Brazier). I mean.... wow right?! I don’t understand why BPA is not banned from food containers yet 🙅🏻♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I’ve persuaded you to want to eliminate BPA from your life!! Well.... eek BPA is so widely used, its pretty much impossible to completely eliminate all exposure. But there are some things you can do to reduce your exposure in your every day life!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the easiest ways to reduce exposure is by transitioning from plastic containers to glass and is #thehealthyhomechallenge for February! I use glass containers to store my pantry items, leftovers, and even pack my lunch in glass bento boxes. It’s a small change that makes a big impact on my daily BPA exposure.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope this post was informative and motivating to limit BPA exposure in your everyday life 😉

Please note- I’m not a physician. I’m just a girl trying to being educated about ways to improve my health and fertility 🤍 For a full list of sources used for the information in this post, head to JackieAnneBlog.com and look under “the healthy home challenge” tab for the blog.

Floor chats seem to be my fav way to story lately, and I’m here for it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m overwhelmed by the amount of sweet messages, texts, and comments 🤍 Thank you for being so supportive of me opening up about our fertility journey yesterday. I was so nervous to share, but immediately after I posted, my phone was flooded by friends (IRL and this IG tribe) with stories of fertility struggles too. My heart breaks for so many of your stories. Thank you for reaching out and letting me know I’m not alone on this journey too. Praying that each of you get your rainbow baby soon 🌈

Now excuse me, I have a date with a treadmill so I can do a little low intensity cardio (which has been so great for managing my weight with PCOS) while catching up on the bachelor #whatisvictoriassecret ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know about 1 in 8 couples have trouble getting pregnant or sustaining pregnancy? I didn’t know either, until we became part of the statistic 🤍

Today's blog post has been on my heart for quite some time. I've thought about sharing this for a while, but each time I chickened out, thinking that there's already other women on the internet in the infertility space who had much more valuable advice and stories to share than what I've been going through. But recently, God has continued to put this on my heart and he's definitely sent me some direct signs that it's time to stop dragging my feet and share my story.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the past year, I have been experiencing lots of changes with my body and I was eventually diagnosed with PCOS. Today on the blog I'm sharing what PCOS is, my journey to being diagnosed with PCOS, where we are in the fertility treatment process, and how this diagnosis has actually brought good to my life ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm nervous and scared to share this side of my life today, but if God can use my story to bring hope to another girl out there in the same boat, it totally outweighs all my fears from sharing. Link is in my bio for today's blog post 💕

Now that we’re heading into spring, I feel like it’s time to bring out a little color into my decor. This was my spring inspired tablescape from last year and I loved the soft pinks 😍 Link is in my bio for the blog on how to recreate this look! #spring #springdecor #springdecorating #galentinesday #tablescape #springtable #homeblogger
