A comfortable 71. That's what most people live year round! Whether it's AC or heat, moving from house or car ... we tend to like it goldilocks style "juuuuust right".

That's NOT good for our health! It is not good for our mitochondria. It is not good for metabolic health or weight gain.

When you get cold, your body activates brown fat, which contains many mitochondria that help generate heat by burning calories.

We USE brown fat when we are cold. This helps with weight loss and stimulates mitochondria! Most "aging symptoms" (fatigue, loss of muscle tone, soreness, cognitive decline, etc) are due to mitochondria declining.

Could it be that a large part of poor health in our culture is our desire for comfort and ease? I think so!

a few suggestions to maintain good health:
step outside of your comfort zone
get hot
get cold
get plenty of sunshine and exercise

Have you noticed kids don't get as cold as adults? They have more brown fat. Newborns have the most brown fat because they do not have the ability to shiver to warm up.

These kids during these hunting trips ... they were hot, they were cold, they worked hard, they played harder, they were not well rested .... but they were happy (for the most part 🙂. I guess I'd say those things were true of all of us!

If you'd like tips on how to stimulate brown fat, increase metabolism, optimize mitochondrial health to optimize aging, let's get something scheduled!

So many things we love about hunting, more than “just”the memories that’s been created over the years!

Some of the many health benefits …
❌ growth hormones
❌ vax
❌ antibiotics

⬆️ protein (30-40% more!)
⬆️ Iron (about 400% more!)
⬆️ B vitamins (about 27% more!)
⬆️ zinc

those are a few things “just” about the meat. But the hunt… Rather than running up to the grocery store we’re running through fields… Lots of exercise, lots of sunshine, lots of fun, laughter, and family memories.

Fantastic Friday! I LOVE hearing that others feel amazing, based on changes they're making. You feel it. Others see it. I went with Tom to a speaking event. Two things worth mentioning…

1. At one point Tom leaned over and said “these brain supplements you have me on are amazing, they’re so effective, my mind feels so sharp and clear!” Removing desserts was a big game changer, he’s removed plenty of things that caused burden and now his body is more ready and able to receive nourishment. I first had him do a quiz to know his strengths and weakness regarding brain health. It covered areas such as focus, recall, brain endurance, energy levels. So glad he’s noticed a difference! I don’t know if he knew it was an area that needed improvement until he felt relief… functioning with ease.

2. This was an event for Tom… But I ended up getting two appointments! He’s watched Tom over the years and have seen how fit, healthy, and vibrant he is…he said he’s ready to make some changes but wasn’t really sure where to start. He’s also buying an appointment as a gift for someone else. 🩶

It was a fun Friday! I love people seeing change, improvement, results, and all their efforts coming together and functioning w/ease. (even when it’s my hubby😍). And it really holds a special place in my heart when people recognize the behind-the-scenes effort to Tom’s vibrancy (what we’re doing at home). He feels it, others see it.

If you’re not thriving at the top notch level that you desire, let’s connect! Even if it’s simply taking a brain health quiz and going over the results… Happy to help!

What an amazing and productive week! This time, not talking about patient success stories…. But kingdom impact!

1. ran into a neighbor in the street. What could’ve just been a casual conversation about the weather ended up moving into Christ, churches, and different things to draw closer to God
2. Tom has been doing jail ministry for 9 years… he does it Charlie Kirk style. Nothing planned. Impromptu. just shows up and asks them, what questions do you have? He said this last week was probably the best one yet!
3. Called a friend because she had some questions about a smart meter. We ended up talking about forgiveness and how unforgiveness leads to bitterness and resentment. She has her own trauma she’s working through and said she feels the person needs to ask for forgiveness before forgiveness can be granted. I explained my past to her and told her not one of those people have asked for forgiveness, but I forgive them. Forgiveness doesn’t release the perpetrator from the consequence, it releases the victim from the bo***ge. I told her if I ran into any of them at a store or something, I wouldn’t feel anger or bitterness, just compassion that they’re in such darkness. She actually hasn’t talked to many about it, she said she feels like that will just be holding onto it. I told her when a traumatic event happens, as a protective mechanism, your body stores it in the amygdala. It’s held captive there as a memory in case you ever need to retrieve it again. Your body responds to life based on this stored memory in the hardwire. When you talk about it, your brain is telling your body it’s OK and it moves it to a different spot of the brain for healing.

Our bodies were designed with such , , and capacity. Thank you, Jesus!

What an amazing week💛

Shorter days/ meaning less sun is upon us. Please keep “emotional wellness” top of mind.

Around the one year anniversary of the death of my daughter (1996) they put me on an antidepressant (I didn’t know better 30 years ago). After I started having CRAZY side effects (brain and health). I wanted to go off it it. “They” wouldn’t help me so I decided to do this on my own. Was it scary? YES! Was it worth it? OH MY GOODNESS YES!

Once I made the decision, I started looking at “how” this antidepressant works and asked myself (Spirit inside) if there is a vitamin or supplement that has a similar effect. I started with St John’s Wort. Wanna know why .. the reading material suggested not to take St John’s with the antidepressant (so I knew they must have similar mechanics). I later discovered more supplements and lifestyle practices that help with emotional wellness. I also learned SO MUCH MORE that St John’s is good for! (at that time, I only knew it to help with depression. Who knew it can also help with hot flashes from menopause, or assist in managing nerve of pain and inflammation… Just the name a few)

If winters are harder on you, take action now. How can I help? Would you like to get any testing done to know your deficiencies or body burdens? Or would you like to schedule a consultation to discuss how vitamins/minerals/diet/lifestyle changes can affect your health (and mood and energy!). Please reach out to me and let’s your health and emotional wellness before the winter SAD kicks in.

Polarity brings clarity

There are only two kingdoms.

God, the father of truth leads to freedom
Satan, the father of lies lead to bo***ge

Which side are you on?

These last several years… lots of heaviness in multiple different ways. When you get tired, when you need “a turning point”… I encourage you to meditate on Jeremiah 17:8 and be refreshed by the living water, a source that has no end.

And then

Put on full armor of God, and get back to work!

His passion is my passion.
His mission is my mission.

“For he will be like a tree planted by the water That extends its roots by a stream, And does not fear when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be anxious in a year of drought, Nor cease to yield fruit.” Jeremiah 17:8

My little travel buddy, content looking out the window … anticipating the adventure

He wasn’t content during the whole trip 🤪

All you mamas out there, right in the middle of motherhood… they may not thank you in the moment for your sleepless nights as they’re newborns, not even for your patience as they’re toddlers and teenagers.

But they will! 💛

One of the nights nothing was working to calm this little guy. McCoy brought him outside, which had worked many other times. Not that night. I went out there and in 0.1 seconds he was sleeping (they often call me the baby whisperer 😭💛). McCoy said “nice touch, thank you, mom”. And gave me a hug.
I said “what”? I heard him. I just wanted to hear it again.😍

So, hang in there! The thank you’s usually comes later… often after they’ve had kids and realize how hard it can be 😂😍🙏❤️.

And now, just a little melt my heart/proud mama moment, helping others to see those harder years are worth it… He also thanked me for how I raised him, giving him an adventurous spirit and encouraging him to see the world 💙🦋🌏

Isn’t it so neat to think this child that’s crying and doesn’t have the capacity to thank you, someday will. And not only for what you did for him as a child, but what you’re doing for his child (which is your grandchild)… what a precious circle that is.

He’s always been an appreciative kid, but the expression of it often comes “later”.
hang in there mamas … it’s sooooo worth it

If you’re traveling for longer period of time and have difficulty keeping BM’s regular while traveling…. Bifido is your go to (can be found in Full Script. Link in bio)

Bifido is one of the most effective probiotics regarding constipation.
🚽It helps with fiber digestion (breakdown)
💩increases transit time
🚽softens stools
🦠restores gut balance and …
😍stimulates gut motility by increasing serotonin (mood!) Some research suggests that certain Bifidobacteria strains can stimulate the secretion of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate gut motility and potentially increase peristalsis (muscle contractions that move food through the digestive tract

IMPORTANT to know:
“bifido is bossy”. It’s EFFECTIVE. It does push out pathogenic bacteria. But you wouldn’t want to take only bifido ongoing because you need broad-spectrum colonization in the gut.

Posting this, I think it’s funny how often people tell me details about their life and then say this might be TMI. Oh my goodness! This is what I do. 😂
We talk about all the details! If you’ve been patient of mine, I’m sure we’ve talked about p**p! All disease begins in the gut. Opposite is true as well … Want to maintain health, take care of your gut health❣️🚽💩

I’ve been meaning to post this the last few weeks, but I’ve been busy 😆😍

I’m going to have a busy summer! A lot of fun things planned and a lot of work that needs to be done now. Before the rain storm in my kitchen happened I already knew it was going to be a busy summer and was planning on posting….

if you want to get things ordered, let’s do that! My schedule is a lot more blocked than it normally is. I’m going to be gone for about two weeks in June. 1-1.5 weeks in July. And two weeks in August

June and July there will be days during that that I work remote. The two weeks in August I will not be working.

Being that my time will be a lot more spaced out, there may be longer delays in getting things ordered so if you want to get something ordered or schedule a consultation let me know. My schedule is on my website, so check that first, but there’s a chance that there’s more availability than my website shows.

EVEN IF_____ , I will praise you! Habakkuk 3

We have been through a lot these last few years, but in all things I will thank you.
1 Thes 5:18

Who remembers the unexpected crazy rain out of nowhere on May 29? Just 1.5 weeks ago…. patio door left open 4-5 inches for about 15-20 minutes…. CRAZY amount of damage in that short time.

We have grown stronger (individually, and our marriage).

On the big things, we are so like-minded. In little areas we differ a bit, but we are learning more and more to value the strength in the other where that might be a weakness for us and because we are one it is a strength for our marriage. Gen 2:24

Tom really takes these things easily and I feel a great deal of angst. I’m learning to realize these are just material things it doesn’t take away what’s inside of us… We will always have God we will always have each other. His strength creates a strength for a marriage.

I like confirmation. Tom is more just go with the flow and see what happens (which can cause delays or more problems down the road). That is a strength tgat i bring to our marriage.

Believe it or not I am very thankful for this. At first I was saying, how is this even physiological possible? And then I found myself saying, thank you Jesus!

In tearing up the kitchen floor, we saw problems we needed to address that we didn’t know were there (our dishwasher. Problem with our patio door from when we had it sided). I now have great comfort that I don’t have to have fear because God will always show me what I need to know . Ps 119:105. Is 30:21

I told myself from now on, when something bad happens instead of saying “why” I’m going to say, “what”. What do you want me to know? What do you want me to do? And I will thank him in advance.

Thank you Jesus 🙏
