Kitchen Shift is serving the cleanest shakes and healthy bites in Lexington, KY and I’m here to help you understand why. 😎

There are a lot of places in Lexington that sell shakes and refreshers. The problem is they are making health claims based on calories or macros but they are PACKED with inflammatory ingredients that are disrupting organ health. You will not lose weight if your body is fighting inflammation. It will stay stuck in a fight or flight state and this impedes weight loss and optimal organ function.

Here are questions to ask before you sip:

1. Does my drink have a fluorescent blue yellow, or orange hue? Where do you think that color is coming from? Nothing in nature is fluorescent. It’s coming from an artificial flavor (likely tartrazine) which is know to drive inflammation in the body. How? It affects lung tissue, the gut lining and has been studied as a carcinogen.

2. Does my drink have a flavor similar to the candy I can purchase at a gas station? Where is that flavor coming from? Likely it’s an artificial flavor. Artificial flavors cause dysbiosis (disruption to the gut lining) and deregulates the immune system.

3. Does my shake or refresher contain an artificial sweetener? Aspartame and Splenda are known gut disrupters and can drive hunger and cravings.

4. Does my shake have a protein source? Many of the shakes you buy in town are simply fruit purée with sugar water. They contain no protein source. When they do, it’s a cheap yogurt source (more sugar=more inflammation) or its soy protein- the cheapest most processed protein in the market. Processed soy drives xenoestrogens in the body. I would not serve this to anyone in my family. And I would never serve it to my clients.
