Dr. Bojana’s Miracle Cookies: Protein, High Fiber, Sugar-free, Gluten-free Cookies I hope that your health and your year are off to a positive start (as much as this is possible in a pandemic). Many of us are working to implement new, healthier habits this year, and gain more control over our nutrition. I’m sharing a guilt-free recipe that will support you in this, if this is your goal, and that will add to your repertoire of guilt-free pleasures. I am so excited to share th...is Miracle Cookie recipe that I created, which is my favorite baked good right now. The cookies not only taste good (well this is subjective, but I am pretty sure you’ll agree if you like the ingredients), but they are also filled with goodness for your body - anti-inflammatory ingredients, omega-3’s, lots of fiber, protein, no added sugar, and no gluten. Given their fiber and protein content, they are also quite satiating, and you won’t be craving a dozen more after you eat one! They make a great breakfast on the go or snack. I look forward to hearing how you like them,Dr. BojanaLink: https://drbojana.com/dr-bojanas-high-protein-high-fiber-gl/ #norefinedsugar #healthytreat #crueltyfree #cleaneating #cleanfood #healthyfood #nutrition101 # #plantpowered #organic #glutenfree #plantbasedfood #meatfree #fit #plantbaseddiet #poweredbyplants #diet #plantbasedrecipes #recipesbybojana #InstaPlantbased #YouAreWhatYouEat #foodisfuel #plantbasedmeals #HomeFoodie #DrBojana See more

One of the most important things to do during the holiday season (and in life, in general), is to LAUGH! Using laughter has been shown to enhance health, including mental health and the immune system. Laughter helps in teaching and learning. Laughter also helps us bond and form connections. I am grateful to have dear friends in my life who make me laugh, and that I’m able to laugh at myself (well, sometimes, after I let my inner critic vent) This video was created in 2017 - @...dr.teresadean thank you for still laughing with me!! #repost #laughter #humor #friendship #laugh #stress #stressreduction #mentalhealth #health #wellness #holidays #repost #lifegoals #empoweringyou #selfhelp #liveinspired #mindbodysoul

May you have a Happy and Healthy New Year! A brighter, fulfilling year, in which you will accomplish the goals you set, in which you will continue to grow and thrive, and feel the support and love you need from yourself, from your loved ones, and from the world. May we all see our family and friends in 2021, eradicate the pandemic, see the world, and support each other While the new year is often the time we decide to make resolutions with the goal of being a better version... of ourselves, accomplishing something we’ve always wanted to do, drastic resolutions may not always be the best answer, and may not be sustainable. Below I’m sharing my articles from the previous years on why I don't make new year’s resolutions, and how to create a (sustainable) routine reset for the new year: Resolutions https://drbojana.com/new-years-resolutions/ Be Your Best Self, Live Your Best Life: Routine Reset for the New Year https://drbojana.com/live-best-life-2020-routine-reset/ #happynewyear #newyearsresolution #mentalwellness #mentalhealth #lifegoalsachieved #lifegoals #empoweringyou #selfhelp #liveinspired #mindbodysoul #wellnessjourney #nourishyourself #thrive #DrBojana #growthmindset #fear #stress #strength #courage #happiness #joy #newyear #resolution #integrativemedicine #internalmedicine #integrativehealth #functionalmedicine #preventativemedicine #womeninmedicine

Fall is here, and as the temperatures continue to drop, you may find yourself gravitating towards seasonal flavors, like apple and cinnamon. I certainly did, but with so many recipes containing added sugar, I was inspired to create something a little bit healthier, while preserving the flavor. This is why I am sharing my recipe for gluten-free, vegan apple crumble with no added sugar. This recipe checks off all the boxes for something sweet, festive, and easy to make, while ...also being a healthy alternative, and rich in nutrients. If your kids are into baking like mine are, this recipe is an ideal one to get them involved with! Create something indulgent for the whole family to enjoy, guilt-free.Dig in, and feel free to snap a photo to share your creations with us online, @dr_bojana on all social platforms.

Have you ever wondered if your fatigue, mood changes or weight gain might be due to thyroid problems? Though small in size, the thyroid gland plays a significant role in the functioning of the body. This butterfly-shaped endocrine gland is located in the front, lower portion of the neck and works to secrete hormones, like T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). These hormones act throughout the body impacting areas of metabolism, development, growth, and even body temperat...ure. In fact, during infancy, brain development is dependent upon adequate thyroid hormone. Since this gland plays such a pivotal role in the body, it can have devastating effects when not working properly. Two commonly known conditions of the thyroid include hypothyroidism, resulting in low production of thyroid hormones and hyperthyroidism, resulting in overproduction of these hormones. Continue to read to learn more about signs and symptoms of a dysfunctional thyroid gland and the best tests to evaluate your thyroid here: https://drbojana.com/thyroid-lab-test/ If you suspect your thyroid hasn’t been functioning correctly, it may be time to get help.
