Are you chasing the next big thing?

Recently, I heard an influencer share something that really made me pause. She talked about how some brand partnerships don’t pay her until many months later… and sometimes she doesn’t get paid at all because the company shuts down before payment ever comes through.

It was such a reminder of how unpredictable a lot of online opportunities can be. You can show up, pour your heart into promoting something, and still have no guarantee that the income will actually land....

That’s exactly why I’m so grateful for what I’ve built with Shaklee for over 21 years!!

Shaklee has been around for almost 70 years, and that kind of longevity matters to me. It means the products are backed by real science, the systems are established, and the compensation is consistent and reliable. When you do the work, you get paid — on time. No chasing down invoices. No wondering if the company will still be here next quarter.

In a world where trends change overnight and new brands pop up every day, there’s something really comforting about partnering with a company that’s proven, stable, and built to last. It’s not about quick hype. It’s about long-term opportunity, meaningful relationships, and income you can actually count on.

That stability is a huge reason I’m still here, still building, and genuinely excited about what’s ahead. And if you’ve ever felt unsure about relying on short-term partnerships or inconsistent income, I’m always happy to share why Shaklee has been such a solid foundation for me.

If you’ve ever been curious about what I do or why I’m still here after all these years, comment video for my Top 5 Reasons to Partner with Shaklee video I created!

Creatine isn’t just for building muscle—did you know it also supports brain function?

Creatine plays a key role in cellular energy production, including in the brain. Research shows it can help support cognitive performance, mental clarity, and memory by ensuring brain cells have quick access to energy, especially during times of stress, fatigue, or aging.

That’s why creatine isn’t only beneficial for athletes—it’s increasingly recognized as a valuable nutrient for overall brain health and long-term cognitive support.

Do you know someone that needs help remembering things?

This an important and often overlooked point.

Strong, healthy bones depend on more than just calcium. Adequate protein is essential because it provides the building blocks for bone matrix and supports muscle, which in turn protects and stabilizes the skeleton. As we age, insufficient protein intake accelerates muscle loss, increasing the risk of bone loss and fractures.

Weight-bearing and resistance exercises are equally critical. Activities such as walking, strength training, body-weight exercises, and even daily functional movements signal the body to maintain and build bone density. Without this mechanical load, bones weaken over time.

In short: protein nourishes the structure, and weight-bearing movement tells the body to keep bones strong. Both are non-negotiable for long-term bone health, especially as we age.

So use it or lose it makes perfect sense!šŸ’Ŗ

Having a basic knowledge of building and maintaining health through natural nutrition can have amazing life changing results, but where do you go when you want to learn the best way to prevent disease and protect your health?

The sad fact is less than 6% of doctors get formal training in nutrition. What's even more alarming is that what they can't teach you could be killing you!

I recommend that you get educated on the basics of nutrition and supplementation. You can start with my FREE online wellness center here:

Are you getting enough?

As we age, our protein needs increase—not decrease. This is due to several physiological changes that affect how the body maintains muscle, bone, and overall resilience.

1. Age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia)
Beginning as early as our 30s and accelerating after 50, we naturally lose muscle mass and strength. Muscle is essential for mobility, balance, glucose control, and independence. Adequate protein intake helps slow this loss and supports muscle repair and rebuilding.

2. Reduced protein absorption and utilization
Older adults experience ā€œanabolic resistance,ā€ meaning the body becomes less efficient at using protein to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. To achieve the same benefit, higher-quality protein—and often a higher total intake—is required.

3. Bone health and fracture prevention
Protein is a key component of bone structure. Sufficient intake supports bone density and works synergistically with calcium and vitamin D to reduce fracture risk, particularly important for preventing osteoporosis.

4. Immune system support
Protein is required to produce antibodies and immune cells. Inadequate intake can impair immune response, increasing susceptibility to infections and slowing recovery.

5. Healing and recovery
With age, recovery from illness, injury, or surgery takes longer. Protein supports tissue repair, wound healing, and preservation of lean mass during periods of stress or inactivity.

6. Metabolic health and blood sugar control
Protein helps stabilize blood sugar, supports insulin sensitivity, and preserves metabolically active muscle, which is critical for preventing frailty and type 2 diabetes.

How much is needed?
While the general RDA is 0.8 g/kg body weight, research suggests older adults benefit from 1.0–1.2 g/kg/day, and up to 1.2–1.5 g/kg/day for those who are active, recovering from illness, or aiming to preserve muscle and bone.

Bottom line:
Adequate protein is not about ā€œbulking upā€ as we age—it is about maintaining strength, mobility, bone integrity, immune resilience, and quality of life.

Is menopause kicking your butt?

Hot flashes, brain fog, mood changes, and weight gain are common during menopause — and there’s a reason for it. As estrogen levels decline, your body becomes more insulin-resistant, muscle mass can decrease, and cortisol (stress hormone) often rises. All of this makes weight gain, especially around the middle, more likely.

The good news? You’re not powerless.

āœ”ļø Prioritizing protein helps preserve muscle and support metabolism
āœ”ļø Strength training signals your body to burn fat and protect bone
āœ”ļø Managing stress supports hormone balance
āœ”ļø Quality sleep plays a huge role in weight and energy
āœ”ļø Targeted nutrition and supplementation can help fill the gaps

Menopause isn’t a failure of your body — it’s asking for you to make changes. With the right support, you can feel strong, clear-headed, and confident again.

Hey, im talking to you 🫵

Hear me out šŸ‘‚

Left photo: I was 50
Right photo: I am 60

I still hear doubters saying:
ā€œThat collagen doesn’t work.ā€

Me, 10 years later:
Still taking my collagen daily.
Still consistent.
Still aging backwards.
I think it works šŸ˜‰

What BLOWS MY MIND is how many people expect overnight results.

Imagine telling your trainer you want to lose 10 lbs in a month…
Then quitting the gym when it does not happen.
Ridiculous, right?

Yet this is exactly what people do with their skin, hair, joints, and aging.
They try collagen for 30 to 60 days, see subtle changes, then quit.

Let me be very clear:
My job is not quick fixes.
My job is long-term results.

If you are not consistent, you are not failing the product.
You are quitting on yourself.

I have NEVER seen someone fail to improve their skin, hair, and joints when they actually stick to the daily routine. Ever.

And the women who stay consistent?
They keep getting better.
Year after year.

The results are not magic.
They are earned.

If you are already my customer and need support or a reset, even if it has been a while, message me. I have you.

If you are brand new and think it is too late to start… it is not. You are right on time.
