Healthy Habits- Holistic Nutrition and Wellness

Is what I want now going to support what I want most?

This is a great question we should ask ourselves in moment of temptation. Whether that is food, ci******es, alcohol, being lazy, the list goes on.

Always remember what you are working towards

🍽️I've had this conversation a lot lately, and it feels like something we need to honestly talk about. Don't get me wrong. I eat out too. If you knew me in my 20's you know I ate poutine probably 3 times a week.

This is not about shaming anyone, it's about awareness and taking ownership of the habits that affect our health. 🥤

🙅‍♀️We cannot be willing to spend the money and expect supplements, appointments and medication to do the heavy lifting if we are not willing to make some lifestyle shifts along side them. Change does not have to be dramatic, but it has to be intentional.

So here's a gentle challenge: If you are eating out more than twice a week, I encourage you to cut down. Restaurants should be the exception we look forward to, not the convenience we rely on. 💚

Trading a little screen time for page time lately 📖

I’ve been trying to chose books over my phone when boredom creeps in.
It’s becoming a grounding habit that supports focus, presence, and really great conversations.

Wellness habits have a way of creating connection, not just routine.💕

If you have any good book recommendations..send them my way!

For YEARS I thought being tired was just part of my personality. Then I started getting headaches, then I started getting digestive issues, then I found out I was anemic, and the list goes on. And I was in my 20's!

Our bodies give us signals WAY before we start paying attention.

Blood sugar imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, stress, and poor sleep can all drain your energy LONG before age does.

It's that time of year- after a little overindulgence, we're ready to get back on track💪

This year, I challenge you to skip the fad diets. They're not one size fits all and can sometimes do more harm than good.

Instead, try something science-backed and personalized to YOU 🫵
My Metabolic Balance Program is based on your blood work and your individual health needs- because real results come from a plan that actually fits your body.

Whether you work with me or another health professional, choose something sustainable this year. Something that works.

Perfect for those struggling with weight, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, hormone imbalances, digestive upsets or chronic fatigue.

❓❓Not sure if you are ready? Send me a message and let's chat to see if this is right for you
This program can be done strictly virtual if you do not live in Grande Prairie.

✨ Winter Solstice ✨
Today is the Winter Solstice — hallelujah! 🙌 The darkest day is behind us, and longer days are officially on the way (slowly… but we’ll take it).

Take this as your sign to pause, reflect, set a few intentions, and remember that brighter days are ahead — even if right now it still feels like midnight at 5 p.m 😅

It’s that time of year when the gatherings get cozier, the tables get fuller, and appetizers shine. 🎉🧀

If you’re not sure what to bring to the next party, try making these simple Brie pastry bites! They’re flaky, festive, and ridiculously easy to put together—perfect for holiday hosting or a last-minute contribution.

Warm Brie tucked into golden pastry, topped with a little jam or honey… trust me, they disappear fast. 😉 And if you can’t do cow’s dairy, no worries — you can easily swap in goat Brie and they’re just as delicious!

Bring a plate of these and you’ll be everyone’s new favorite guest!

👀Sometimes, we need a little perspective. We read 2 grams of sugar on a label, but what does that actually look like? Here is a picture of 7g and 2 g of sugar....which is a lot.

☕️Most of us are drinking our coffee with a creamer that contains 2-3g of sugar per Tbsp! Which is spiking our blood sugar first thing in the morning. This is going to increase cravings throughout the day, increase inflammation and cortisol, and likely cause a crash in energy.

So what can we do?
#1- Ditch the sugar if possible 🛑
#2- Have some protein, fats, or fiber with your coffee to reduce that glucose spike. 🥚
#3- Move your body so that glucose has a place to be stored💪

If your child has unexplained behavioral issues, headaches, skin rashes, GI issues, etc. Reach out to us. We may be able to help you get to the root cause.

If your child is struggling with behaviour, focus, or hyperactivity, it doesn’t mean they’re a “bad kid,” and it doesn’t automatically mean they have ADHD. Children’s bodies are incredibly sensitive, and sometimes what looks like a behavioural issue is actually a symptom of something deeper.

Things like food sensitivities, nutrient imbalances, and even mold exposure can affect mood, focus, and behaviour in both adults and kids, but especially in little ones whose systems are still developing.

If you’ve ever felt like something is “off” but can’t quite put your finger on it, you’re not alone. Sometimes the root cause is simply hidden.

At our clinic, we offer food sensitivity testing and mold exposure testing to help bring clarity and support your child’s wellbeing from the inside out.

If you’d like more information, feel free to give the office a call. 587-400-3288

I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy working with kids, but man, the ones that have been in my office lately are top notch. And to the parents raising these awesome kids, you are killing it 👏.

Real talk: most people don’t need more nutrition info — they need support, accountability, and someone who can see what they can’t.

Nutrition can move the needle but nutrition with coaching is where real change happens. Success rates don’t lie: coaching works. And that’s why Metabolic Balance isn’t available without a coach… we actually want you to succeed.

So come hang out with me. Let’s make this fun, doable, and tailored to your metabolism. I’d love to help you reach your health goals and feel your best.
