Happy Halloween!! 🎃🎃🎃
Here are some pro tips, to help you make the most out of your Halloween experience..

🍽️ Eat a real meal first. A protein-rich dinner can help curb sugar cravings and prevent that post-candy energy dip.
🍫 Choose treats that don’t hit as hard. Dark chocolate, nut-based bars, or smaller portions can satisfy without the blood sugar rollercoaster.
😴 Watch the late-night sugar. Too much candy (and screen time) before bed can mess with your sleep, especially for kids!

Halloween is a night that is meant to be fun! The challenge is not in one night of overindulging but the persistent sugar intake that follows...and most of the time continues right into Christmas!! If your kids are anything like mine, they get PLENTY of candy. Decide what you might do with the excess. The past number of years we have been donating to this food drive

It’s officially snack season! 🍁 Presenting Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (with shells) and they’re a total game-changer. Think crunchy, savoury goodness with that pumpkin-seed nutty flavour… and yes, you get the shells for that extra texture bite!

Why I love them:
• Ready-to-go for those mid-day cravings or movie nights 🎬
• Whole snacks with good fibre & minerals (hello, pumpkin seeds!)
• Hands-on shell peeling = fun and mindful snacking

Pro tip: Pair with a hot herbal tea for that cozy fall vibe. 🍵

Who’s snacking with me this weekend? 🙋‍♀️

Bone loss isn’t just a menopause problem. It starts earlier and estrogen is the key.

Here’s what most women aren’t told:

🔻 Estrogen helps protect and maintain bone density
🔻 As estrogen declines (even in your late 30s!), bone loss accelerates
🔻 This can lead to silent conditions like osteopenia or osteoporosis, even before menopause hits

Common signs of low estrogen impacting bone health:

• Frequent joint pain
• Height loss
• Early dental issues
• Family history of fractures

Don't wait for a fracture to address your bones. We can look at your hormones, nutrient status, gut health, and inflammation to build strong bones before they break!

Studies show that eating 2 kiwis per day significantly improves bowel regularity, especially in people with IBS-C or functional constipation. And unlike most fibre supplements, it doesn’t cause gas or bloating.

Here’s why kiwi works so well for digestion:

🥝 It contains actinidin, a natural enzyme that helps break down protein and support smoother digestion.
🥝 It’s rich in soluble and insoluble fibre, which adds bulk and softens stool.
🥝 It has a natural prebiotic effect, helping feed beneficial gut bacteria.
🥝 It’s also high in vitamin C and antioxidants, reducing gut inflammation.

Hot tip: Eat them with the skin (yes, really!). That’s where a lot of the fibre lives.

Your body is incredible.

Truly. 🤍

The beating of your heart, digestion, breathing, growing eyelashes ... it all happens without conscious thought thanks to your amazing Nervous System.

It controls everything (literally every single thing) that happens in your body.

And a regulated Nervous System helps you be in alignment with your internal + external environment.

3 vectors of stress affect your Nervous System regulation which may show up as you:

😐 feeling highly sensitive to stimulation [noises, smells, crowds etc]

😐 having difficulty focusing on tasks, memory challenges and forgetfulness

😐 being highly empathic and taking on other's emotions

😐having skin or gut conditions like IBS, rosacea, eczema

😐dealing with anxiety, agitation, nervousness or feeling on edge

😐 feeling stuck, frozen, numb

😐 experiencing overwhelm + exhaustion

😐 being irritable and reactive

😐 having struggles with sleep

The good news is that there are many things that you can do to help re-regulate your Nervous System. 👆

Who here feels like their nervous system could use a little love? 🙋

Most people assume snoring is something that only affects men, or that it’s harmless. But here’s what most women don’t realize: snoring can be a silent sign of hormonal imbalance, especially after age 35.

In women, snoring is often a subtle but serious indicator of obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where your breathing is briefly interrupted throughout the night.

When this happens, it can:
🔹 Spike your cortisol levels
🔹 Disrupt your blood sugar and insulin sensitivity
🔹 Worsen perimenopause and PMS symptoms
🔹 Increase brain fog, anxiety, and fatigue

If you wake up tired, even after 7–8 hours of sleep, or if your energy crashes by mid-afternoon, your sleep quality might be the issue, not your routine.

You’ve probably told yourself, “This is just what it means to be a woman these days.” Or worse “I’m just getting older.”

No. You’re not supposed to feel this way. You’re not supposed to:

🔹 Live with daily bloating or irregular digestion
🔹 Crash every afternoon like clockwork
🔹 Have moods that swing with your cycle
🔹 Dread sleep because you know you’ll wake up tired

These aren’t personality traits or part of being “busy.” They’re signals. Your body is asking for something.

The good news? When you give your body what it actually needs - proper food, rest, nervous system regulation, hormone and gut support - healing happens. Let's talk and get you back to your new normal.

When the news is heavy, your to-do list is endless, and your shoulders are living somewhere up by your ears… pause.

You don’t have to do a full wellness routine to feel better.

Just one tiny nervous system reset can change the tone of your whole day.

I put together 8 simple ways to do just that — grounding exercises, gentle movement, even rituals you can do at your desk — so you can soften, breathe, and keep going.

You don’t “just get bloated sometimes.” You’re not “just tired from being busy.” And no, your anxiety, breakouts, or brain fog aren’t just part of being a woman.

Your symptoms are whispers. And the longer they’re ignored, the louder they’ll get.

We look at your symptoms as signals, not annoyances to be numbed, silenced, or pushed aside.

✨ That bloat after lunch? Could be SIBO or low stomach acid.
✨ That 3PM crash? Blood sugar imbalance.
✨ That low mood before your period? Hormonal shifts that can be supported, not suppressed.

Your body is trying to get your attention. The sooner you listen, the less it has to yell. Book your consultation and get to the root.
