I just got this snapping turtle unstuck, literally stuck under the bridge railing. In that moment, it struck me: the very thing that protects us can also trap us.

Like the snapping turtle, we sometimes find ourselves stuck, unable to move forward, without the tools or hands to free ourselves. In moments like these, we need someone with the right perspective, someone who can clearly see the problem, understands where and how we’re trapped, and uses the right tools (even something as simple as a stick) to help lift us out.

The lesson? Don’t be afraid to seek help when you’re stuck. We all need a little expert guidance sometimes.

💥 Not all estrogens are equal.

Our bodies naturally produce different types of estrogens and also convert them into many different metabolites. 

That means that how we metabolize estrogen can influence our risk for hormone-driven diseases like some cancers. 

We can support healthy estrogen metabolism by eating sulfur-rich foods (like garlic and broccoli), consuming more fiber, and taking supplements like probiotics, resveratrol, calcium-d-glucarate, and DIM (diindolylmethane). 

👉 What’s one question you’ve always had about hormone balance? Let’s start the conversation.

Ozempic has become a hot topic—but also a controversial one. Some see it only as a weight loss drug, while others raise concerns about its safety. But there’s more to this story.

I’ve been taking a closer look at the research on GLP-1 peptides (like Ozempic), and it turns out they’ve been studied for years—not just for weight, but also for things like blood sugar, inflammation, and even brain health.

Over the next little while, I’ll be sharing what I’m learning—through research, clinical insights, and thoughtful discussion. Have you been curious or confused about GLP-1s? I’d love to hear your thoughts or questions in the comments.

You plan vacations. You plan parties. But do you plan your health?

When we were thinking about buying a hot tub, my husband wanted to test-drive it first. Why wouldn’t you do the same when choosing a partner in health?
Your health is the greatest investment you’ll ever make—far more important than any luxury item. That’s why I highly encourage you to book a free 15-minute consult with a few NDs before deciding who’s the right fit for you.

This isn’t about solving just one symptom. I’m here to be your long-term health partner, helping you age like a goddess. There is no bigger investment than in your well-being.

Questions to consider when choosing your ND:

✨ Can you see them in person if needed?
✨ Do they offer in-house testing that insurance may cover?
✨ Do they provide different modalities to support your health journey?
✨ Are they available when you need them (evenings? weekends?)
✨ Do they have a team to support you?
