schisandra in a wine glass for early valentines day - 3 reasons this sexy herb will be making an appearance in my wine glass for the love holiday;
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- sexy schisandra; known for its aphrodisiac qualities this herb improves circulation & can help dilate blood vessels (improves blood flow!), by lowering cortisol levels it may also prevent stress-induced dips in libido.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- beautiful schisandra: historically, this herb was exclusively used by the royal courts of China for it’s beauty benefits. Known as the “beauty berry” it is packed with antioxidants like lignans, flavonoids, & vitamins C + E, to promote a youthful, radiant skin from the inside out, felt extra pretty tonight!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- liver lover; schisandra supports liver health by increasing glutathione levels (“master antioxidant” + detoxifier to protect against liver damage) & enhances detoxification by up-regulating phase I & phase II liver enzymes so I can enjoy a glass or 2 of wine this evening without a hangover or liver drama.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
to use; throw a few dried schisandra berries or beauty drops (loaded with schisandra tincture) into your wine glass everytime you get a refill
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
happy valentines day this weekend, love yous ❤️

January ‘round up’; been feeling a touch down this year & flipping through my January phone pictures for this carousel helped me clarify why .. this is all I’ve got folks.

it’s been too cold for outdoor fun with my little dude and I’ve been working too much, & my camera roll reflects the lack of fun last month (had a few amazing connected moments, just not enough of them!).

Intentionally scheduling more joy & connection into my February books, more cooking, more outside time, more nashie dates, less emails & a few days away at the spa.

seasonal mood change note: my vitamin D is a perfect 125nmol/L, this was one of the first things I looked at when trying to assess winter mood changes - please make sure you’re testing D levels if you’ve been feeling off this time of year.

almost through the year & we feel that we definitely nailed it on these predictions; lots of healthy b**b content in the pipeline for next year .. still working on a solution to the ‘endless emails’
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
what are your 2026 wellness predictions?? We’re thinking lots of functional testing & personalized data, the end of the health influencer & phosphatidylcholine is going to be the star.

this time of year typically brings temptation in the form of cookies, eggnog & overspending – which can affect everything from your mood to your waistline. While I do love a champagne cocktail or rum & oatnog (or 3), waking up with a nasty hangover on my precious time off is not how I want to finish out an already complicated year.

Fortunately, you can lessen the likelihood of waking up with a hangover this holiday season by choosing your boozy beverages wisely; re-posting an oldie but goodie article from that time I paired up with Fashion Magazine to help you make the healthiest choices at your upcoming holiday parties.

Click link in story or copy and paste link below to discover the top ten festive alcoholic drinks (ranking from worst to best) when it comes to avoiding a holiday hangover.

& swipe for my personal favs:

- mojito mocktail with mint, kava kava or zen drops, lime + bubbly

- JT spritz - inspired by our neighbour Jo, cranberry + pear balsamic, splash of sparkling water, good vodka & an orange twist

- a crisp sauvy b.

this doctor’s postpartum kitchen staple - saffron (scroll down for my sunny yellow post partum soup recipe & right for my little sweetheart);

Recent studies reveal that saffron can significantly aid mothers battling mild to moderate postpartum depression (PPD). In a double-blind placebo trial, breastfeeding moms taking 15mg of saffron twice daily experienced a remarkable 96% remission rate at 4 and 8 weeks, compared to just 43% in the placebo group. In another trial saffron showed similar effectiveness to a common SSRI, fluoxetine, but without the side effects often reported with pharmaceuticals.

This doctor mama went through it (!!!) mentally post partum so I am so grateful that I had safe herbal support like this from nature’s mood boosting tool kit to help me through those early months of motherhood. I encourage you to chat with your ND about standardized saffron supplements before stating anything new post partum, but you can dig into this nourishing saffron soup for new moms asap;

- 3 cups bone broth
- 1 can coconut milk
- 4 large cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 1/2 inch ginger, grated
- 1 tbs turmeric powder
- 1 tsp saffron threads (soaked in 2 tbs warm water)
- 1 can organic BPA-free chickpeas
- 1/2 cup red lentils
- 1 large bunch lacinato kale, cut into long strips
- salt + pepper

add oil to a large Dutch oven along with the onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, saffron (include soaking water), salt & pepper. Cook on medium-high heat, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes. Add rinsed chickpeas to pot an cook on medium heat, stirring frequently, until some of the chickpeas begin to brown. Add the coconut milk and bone broth to the pot and simmer on low-medium heat for about 25 minutes until the chickpeas are well cooked. Add the red lentils and cook for an additional 10 minutes, finish with chopped greens.

Crisp fall weather has arrived at the homestead! Brussels sprouts and kale are flourishing in the garden. Garlic has been processed & is about to be re-planted for next year and the leaves in our little forest are turning .. which mean’s it’s pumpkin weather!! This loaf is refined-sugar-free, gut healthy with the addition of sourdough starter (I know at least some of you must have a covid sourdough starter kicking around) & tastes delish - scroll for nashie proof.

I found a few sad blueberries on my hike today & it reminded me that we’re sadly so very close to the end of wild blueb season (it’s fall ya’ll!); reminiscing on some favourite blueberry creations from this summer + a tangy cocktail recipe below

blueberry mint shrub;
- 1 cup wild blueberry
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 3/4 cups ACV
- 1/2 cup fresh mint

cook sugar + blueberry until sugar dissolves, add vinegar & mint, stir well & immediately remove from heat, let stand on counter covered overnight then strain into a glass bottles to store in the fridge (keeps for several months) - add 2 tsp shrub to 1 cup carbonated water + 1.5 oz nice gin & serve on the rocks.

the ‘Sarah project’;

just finished re-reading ‘the Rosie project’ for a new book club & it’s inspired my post partum reinvention tour.

Motherhood has brought me the greatest joys of my life but it’s also taken a significant toll on my physical + emotional health. 1 year post partum I’m excited to get back on the path to my best health & feel ready to objectively reflect on some of the things I wish I’d done differently in the hopes that any soon to be mamas following this account can save themselves some from some of the tough bits I went through.

I look forward to sharing some really exciting new projects that I’ve been working on for this fall, but in the meantime it’s slightly shorter summer hours so I can have a little more energy to ‘reclaim my pink’. (🤍 dm me to book your virtual follow up for the summer, it’s booking up fast)

These are the blog topics I’ve already been working on for the ‘SP’, please let me know if what else you want to see:

- ‘mom bun’; I am very confident in my post partum hair loss prevention plan (nailed that one) but now I’m convinced I can convert my mom greys back to their natural brown, will keep you posted.
- reconnecting with creativity post partum - missing my crafternoons, but spanish is going really well & I’m putting aside 1 hour each week for botanical drawing lessons
- ‘mom brain’; while I’m still coming to terms with some of the physical changes of pregnancy the most difficult part is feeling less sharp & constantly overwhelmed. I’ve been experimenting a ton with nootropics & I’m super excited to share my experience.
- post partum depression & anxiety .. we have lots to discuss here ..
- Hormone testing for post partum; I will be sharing my pre & post pregnancy DUTCH results, along with the essential basic post partum labs.
- gut health post partum

thanks for following, for your patience & for your blog ideas!
