My Viral Health Hack

Baby, it’s cold outside (unless you are my neighbor in Florida!), but ‘tis the season for festive eating and drinking! Traditional desserts passed down from great-grandma, meaningful meals with family, hoopla, Christmassy cocktails, and toasting the new year. It’s all part of the merriest time of the year! 

This year, let’s all choose NOT to invite these naughty listers to the party:

• IBS
• Constipation
• Bowel issues
• Inflammation-influenced illnesses 
• Brain fog
• Memory issues

Turn on the lights, toast with the host, and drop the big NYE ball because this could be the best gift of them all: The Internal Shower Shot!

And just like Santa, this hack has literally flown around the world! Over 147 MILLION people have viewed the #InternalShower across social media, and countless articles are talking about it. A few of them include BuzzFeed, Elle, NY Post, Good House Keeping, a Sweat Life, Fox 5, and even the South China Morning Post. 

The #InternalShower went viral because it works - watch my video here!

The Recipe

• 2 tbsp of chia seeds to an 8oz glass of water 
• Squeeze in fresh lemon juice 
• 1/8 tsp of sea salt (optional)
• Stir and let chia seeds absorb water; after up to 5-10 minutes, stir once more and drink

I invented the #InternalShower because I used to suffer from IBS. This super easy, practical, cost-effective drink will really help improve your gut health 💩! It (really does) take GUTS to be healthy! 

The WHY

If you are like me, you are always asking, “why.” Why do I feel tired or constipated or blah? I won't settle for basic answers; I keep researching and asking why. My family deserves the best, and you are part of my family. 

The why behind the chia shot:

• Chia seeds give you energy and strengthen your gut because of their high levels of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  
  
• Fiber is CRITICAL for a healthy gut microbiome, yet only 5% of us are getting the recommended 25-35 grams of daily fiber needed. In fact, this number should be higher, 50 grams daily for OPTIMAL health.

• Just 2 tablespoons of chia seeds pack 10 grams of fiber, nearly 40% of your daily intake. It is also the SAME amount of omega-3 fatty acids you’ll find in a 4-ounce piece of salmon.

• Drinking this shot lowers inflammation in your gut because the chia seeds lubricate and hydrate your mucous membranes, giving you that INTERNAL SHOWER effect—hence the name!

• I LOVE questions! If you have more, please check out this HOUR of POWER Instagram live show dedicated to the Internal Shower Shot!

Cheers! I always toast to good health!
