Healthy Recipes
I'm Carla, a prenatal and postpartum coach, and I'm taking the time to write to you today because I know how much your body has changed after pregnancy. Whether you're two months postpartum or 40 years postpartum, you may feel like something has never quite settled. I've been there too.
I specialize in the natural healing of diastasisrecti , a condition that affects 60% of women after childbirth, and believe me, you really can recover from it naturally, with the right tools.
My mission? To help you reconnect with your body and your confidence, with a realistic, caring approach and visible results.
Summer is often a time when we want to unwind and enjoy ourselves a little more... but for our digestive system, it's sometimes quite the opposite. Between barbecues, meals eaten on the go or on the road, changes in routine and glasses of wine on the terrace, there can quickly be a certain intestinal chaos... We feel more bloated, more tired, we digest less well and this is something that I notice every year in my clients.
So I thought it would be a good time to share with you my essentials for taking care of your digestion during the summer!
It's hot, it's sunny, we're bringing out the shorts, the swimsuits, the terraces... but let's be honest: many of us underestimate the impact of the heat on our bodies. And I'm not just talking about sunburn. I'm talking about something super mundane that we too often forget: real hydration. Not just drinking water. Drinking smart.
Menopause is an inevitable stage in a woman's life, but it is too often accompanied by physical and psychological symptoms that profoundly affect quality of life: hot flashes, sleep disturbances, persistent fatigue, joint pain, mood swings, and decreased libido are just a few examples. To better manage menopause symptoms, more and more women are seeking natural, hormone-free solutions.
Finding a protein powder that meets our performance, digestion, and budget needs is often a challenge. That's why I wanted to tell you about Isogen , a new product available at Shop Santé, which offers an original and effective blend of protein isolate and hydrolyzed beef protein.
When we talk about supplements, we often think of major American or international brands. However, several products made right here in Canada deserve our full attention! Quality, accessibility, and thoughtful formulation: that's exactly what I'm looking for as a trainer and supplement enthusiast. Here are four local products that I personally use and regularly recommend.
I often get asked, "What should I take during my workout? BCAAs ? An EAA mix? Hydration ?" And honestly, I understand why it's confusing: the products look similar, the names blur, and the promises are often unclear.
So let's clear this up!
If you run , cycle , swim, or do any endurance sport , you know this: there always comes a time when you feel like your energy is suddenly dropping. You start off fully motivated, you're in it, you're keeping up your pace... and then bang, your body lets you down a bit. It's not that you're not in shape. It's just that your glycogen stores are dropping , and that's completely normal after a certain amount of exercise.
When you're training hard—whether it's a long bike ride, a 15K run, or a big leg workout—you know how energy and hydration management can make or break your performance. Personally, I long underestimated the impact of intra-workout nutrition… until I tried FuelZone from Yummy Sport.
