We went to a sunflower festival with friends last weekend, and I had to snap this picture, because I loved it so much. 😍

Being on a health journey stretches you in so many ways. I’ve learned a lot along the way about my health and my body, and how it responds to certain things. What I don’t want to put into my body, and what it needs.

The biggest realization is that you need to detox your body to get to the root of your issues. It’s a process, and not an easy one. When you’ve suffered for years with certain ailments, then it’s not just a quick fix! You have good days and bad days. You can’t expect to take some supplements for a month and you magically feel better! If you truly want to heal and get well, then you need to be prepared to commit and do what’s necessary. There’s no sugar coating it… do you want to get well? Are you prepared to do what’s necessary?

I see so many people, and I have LOTS of conversations with people, but most people aren’t ready to change, and that’s ok. It’s all on your own timing. When you’ve had enough, then you’ll be ready.

That’s where I am at, and that’s why I’m passionate about helping others get well.

If you’re ready to commit to your health and well being then I would love to support you in your health journey.

You can start by taking my health quiz. Let’s see how I can support you. Comment health quiz and I’ll send it directly to your in box. 🤍🤍

🌿 Who Needs to Detox and Why? 🌿

In today’s world, our bodies are constantly exposed to toxins—whether from processed foods, pollution, stress, or even daily lifestyle habits. Over time, this “toxic load” can overwhelm our natural detox pathways, leading to symptoms that many people simply accept as “normal.”

👉 But they are signals your body is asking for support.

💡 Common signs you may need a detox:

⚠️Persistent bloating or digestive discomfort
⚠️Low energy or constant fatigue
⚠️Skin eruptions (acne, rashes, dull complexion)
⚠️Brain fog, poor focus, or mood swings
⚠️Trouble losing weight despite effort
⚠️Hormonal imbalances or irregular cycles
• Water retention or puffiness
• Joint stiffness or body aches
• Cravings and poor appetite control

Detoxing helps your liver, kidneys, gut, and lymphatic system reset—allowing your body to restore balance, energy, and clarity .

💬 What about you?
Are you experiencing any of these signs your body may be asking for a reset?

What I eat in a day…

I try to eat a good breakfast, usually eggs with ham, sausage, or ground pork, and rice or fried potatoes or sweet potatoes. Food before coffee, or with coffee. I stopped drinking coffee on an empty stomach, because I can’t handle it anymore! Coffee naturally raises cortisol (your stress hormone). If you drink it first thing without food, it can exaggerate the spike and leave you feeling jittery, anxious, or shaky, which is what I was feeling. 😵‍💫 It also messes with my blood sugar!

I started eating more nutrient dense meals at lunchtime to fill me up, especially on days when I work. I’ve been planning my meals (mostly!), so I have something prepared, otherwise I fail! Lentil soup is a favourite, because it’s easy, filling, and nutritious! I also love cooking a bunch of chicken legs to have in the fridge to eat with roasted veggies or salad.

Snacks are usually fruit, homemade protein bars, or my favourite… dates, nut butter, almond, chocolate drizzle, and then frozen. SO good! 🤤

For dinner I’ve been trying to keep to meat, sautéed or roasted veggies, and rice. Minimal sauces or anything prepared. Too much sugar and sodium makes me feel dehydrated, so I’m trying to avoid it. I’m not always perfect though!

I’d love to hear from you and what your go to healthy meals are.

I’ve had so many questions lately about the detox I’ve been doing and what supplements I’ve been taking. 💛

For me, this hasn’t just been about “taking a supplement” — it’s been about supporting my body in the areas it needed most, like energy, digestion, hormones, and inflammation. When you understand why your body is feeling the way it is, it’s so much easier to know what will actually help.

That’s why I put together a free health quiz. It’s a simple way to get a better picture of what’s going on inside your body and learn which areas might need extra support.

If you’ve been feeling run down, foggy, bloated, or just “off” lately, this could give you some helpful insight — no pressure, just information you can use to take the next step in your wellness journey.

Drop me a 💬 or “quiz” below, and I’ll send you the link.

Detox Update 💛 Day ??

I’ve lost count of the days, but I do know this: I’m feeling GOOD today! I had more energy, and things are definitely still flushing out 🙌

We spent some time at the beach today, and it was exactly what I needed. Fresh air, sunshine, and a chance to slow down.

One thing I’m learning through this detox is just how important it is to take time out—to rest, reset, and actually listen to what your body needs. Detoxing isn’t just about what you take out of your diet… it’s also about creating space for healing in your day.

If you’re on this path too, don’t forget: rest is part of the process 💛

I’m so excited to be starting this detox—my body has been begging for it. 🌿

I’ve been dealing with exhaustion, brain fog, migraines, anxiety, restless legs, and disrupted sleep and I’m tired of it!!

Last night, for the first time in forever, I slept through the night without waking up to p*e. 🙌

Not sure which magical herb is responsible, but
I can’t wait to see how I feel as I continue this detox journey!

Some of my delicious meals lately. 🤤😍

Going gluten free hasn’t been as hard as I thought it would be! Over the years, I’ve tried to eliminate gluten, but failed every time! I didn’t plan properly, so I failed. I caved because I didn’t know what to eat.

This time, I planned my meals for the first week, and the second week. I planned breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options. We even ate out during this time and I did not cave! I was so proud of myself!

You might wonder why I decided to go gluten free? 🤔 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism when I was pregnant with my first born, almost 12 years ago, and then a few years later with Hashimoto’s. I have been doing a lot of research on how to best support my body and my symptoms, and it all points to gluten / dairy free, among other protocols.

Over the years I have tried many things, failed at many things, but now is the time to get serious! My body deserves better! So I am taking a deep dive on how to heal and put myself into remission. There’s a lot of information and advice out there, but I feel that I am on the right path.

I am excited to support my body, and symptoms in a new way, and see how it makes me feel! I plan to add in something new soon, so I will keep you posted!

Do you have hypothyroidism or hashimoto’s? I would love to hear what natural remedies or protocols you’ve tried?

I was planning on hibernating today, because it’s snowing and cold, but it seems like a shame to waste a good hair day. 🙍‍♀️

Been trying out my new fermented hair products and I’m in love. 🥰 My hair feels SO clean and lightweight.

I usually need to wash every day, otherwise my hair feels greasy and gross. I went two days and easily could have gone three, but wanted to try the AC rinse this morning, and also have clean hair for Monday morning. Trying to plan my week! To make life easier.

Do you have to wash every morning too? I’m thinking this problem may be a thing of the past! I’m so excited!! What’s your hair care routine?
