Happy Friday!
One of my favorite things to read on Friday mornings are “Friday 5’s” from other bloggers. Whether it’s lifestyle, fashion or health, they’re always interesting and I always find a good tip or new product. So I thought that I would start this series myself! It will definitely have gut health information as well as some personal favorites. Read on for my first “Friday 5”!

Diet & Colon Cancer Risk: A new meta-analysis (i.e a bunch of studies) looked at how different dietary components impact a person’s risk for colon cancer. The analysis found that alcohol and red meat raise a person’s risk, while calcium, yogurt and fiber lower the risk. You can read more about the study here.

Epicured Chicken & Eggplant Parm: If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed I shared a picture of what most people thought was lasagna yesterday. It was actually this delicious Chicken & Eggplant Parm from Epicured! They sent me some of their new items to try and this was by far my favorite. If you’re following a Low FODMAP diet and don’t want to cook, they’re a great option to try!

Fixer Upper: I’m about 5 years late to this party, but I recently started watching Fixer Upper reruns on Hulu! I live in Philadelphia and there has been A LOT of snow and cold weather, so there’s nothing better than binge watching a good show. My husband and I are also moving to the suburbs this summer, so it’s giving me lots of ideas!

WCTherapyGroup Instagram: I love a good instagram account and I was excited to find awesome content from a semi-local group, West Chester Therapy Group. They’re posts are short and thought provoking, basically great tid bits you get from your therapist! I am very pro-therapy and believe having a healthy mind goes along with having a healthy gut. Check them out here!
