Nutrition Bliss

If you're looking for a quick break from all the craziness, please read my new interview with SD Voyager! I was so excited when SD Voyager asked me to be a part of their new series this year to talk about Nutrition Bliss, women's health, and the inspiration that brought me here! I love what I do, & love to share it. https://shoutoutsocal.com/meet-jen-martinsen-functional-nu/

I needed to get really quiet over the past few months. Like everyone else, my world turned upside down. And it required me to press pause. I needed time to reacclimate. I needed to be 100% at home, focused on my family, and creating safety & routine. But I focused so hard on everyone else being okay, I somehow lost myself. ALL of my routines and supportive structures went out the window. When I needed them most, I let them go. ... I reverted back to my old comforts. Trading drinking lots of water, meditating, & journaling for watching TV, drinking too much coffee, craving salty comfort foods, staying up late & sleeping in. That’s not all. My business was affected & I watched all I had worked for the past 3 years shrink overnight. I felt depressed. I took it personally. I was off track and I knew it. It was a clear example of what I know is true: when we are under major stress, we revert back to our old patterns & comfort zone. It took me time to grieve what I {felt like I} lost. I had to be patient and go through the process. I believe it's important to share our stories of why it's okay to not be okay right now, and know we can each come back when we're ready. I share more in my recent blog, linked below. xo Jen https://www.nutritionbliss.com/new-normal/

This time is challenging us all in big ways, and right here is how we start to find some balance. All the external things that we had depended on to structure our day, schedule, time, mood, etc. have significantly changed. Leaving us with the one place {we sometimes like to avoid} to bring us back into balance. Ourselves. This time is calling for some major self-awareness & supportive habits. Simple practices & a regular routine are what we need to create that internal st...ructure we are all CRAVING right now. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more about these simple but powerful practices (belly breathing, importance of morning routines, calming herbs, and more) that help reduce stress and when combined create a supportive internal structure for our days ahead.

The format may be different, but the connection & mission are the same. I am so excited to begin joining other local female practitioners to share our knowledge & support women’s health. First up, I’ll be joining postpartum, women’s health PT expert @womenshealth_l4 tomorrow @6pm on her page for an InstaLive discussion! And next week (5/14) @drdawn @womenshealth_l4 will be on my page sharing all her knowledge on pelvic floor strength, back pain, and more! Cant wait to share....
