Our very own Nikki Barkhaus FDN-P, was invited to speak and educate pastors and church leaders during ā€œEmbodied,ā€ an Iowa District LeaderCare retreat focused on rest, renewal, and whole-person health. The retreat was held May 6th at Riverside Bible Camp, a place very special to her family āœļø

Nikki's focus was on how nutrition supports faith formation, "Nourishing the Body That Carries the Calling".

The audience was incredibly attentive, asked thoughtful questions, and even participated in complimentary nutrient scans ā€” with some very impressive scores seen that day!

Nikki is so grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a meaningful time of education in holistic health and community.

Psalms 139:14 - I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Healthy Homemade Jam Recipe šŸ“šŸ«

Ingredients:
2 cups fresh or frozen organic berries of your choice (I used raspberries!)
3 tablespoons organic chia seeds
1/4 cup filtered water
1 tablespoon organic lemon juice
1-2 tablespoons granulated monk fruit sweetener

Directions:
1. Combine berries, water, lemon juice, and monk fruit sweetener in a medium saucepan.
2. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries burst and the mixture becomes juicy. If using larger berries, mash some of the berries with a fork for desired texture.
3. RemoveĀ the saucepan from the heat.
4. Stir in the chia seeds. Mix well.
5. Let the mixture stand for about 15-20 minutes, stirring a couple of times. The jam will thicken as the chia seeds gel. It will continue to thicken upon cooling as well.
6. Once cooled, transfer to a clean jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Enjoy your jam!

Special thanks to Suzanne for sharingšŸ©·

Infertility journeys can feel overwhelming, but you donā€™t have to walk it alone šŸ¤

One of our clients recently shared how working through functional nutrition has already made a meaningful difference. Sheā€™s noticing better energy, becoming more intentional with her nutrition choices, and learning how to manage stress in a healthier way.

While she hasnā€™t reached her end goal just yet, she remains hopeful and encouraged - and spoke so highly of the support sheā€™s received from our team every step of the way.

This is what itā€™s aboutā€¦ supporting the body, restoring balance, and creating the foundation for whatā€™s possible.

Weā€™re honored to be part of journeys like this.
