Thank you for all the birthday messages! It was so fun to receive text messages from people I haven’t heard from in a long time!

The day was spent with all my favorite things… My wonderful husband, kids, & grandkids. Sunshine and sunsets. Picnic, coffee, mocktails and laughter (even got to hear a first giggle)

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 🙏

IF YOU ARE EFFECTED BY LACK OF ☀️, you NEED to know this!

St John’s Wort… SO. MUCH. MORE. than people know!
and people that can tell a difference in their mood and energy based on the sun benefit most from this, read that again!

Here’s some of messages (besides the one above from her):
“I got my period on Saturday and of course the weather has been icky ever since but I could feel the difference almost instantly after taking it!! The dizziness I had before has completely gone away!

Does St. John’s wort help with period cramps at all? Or even just symptoms in general? I usually get the worstttttt cramps around my period like the week leading up and also during and get super tender breasts. I literally forgot I was getting my period this month because I had ZERO symptoms!! “

did you hear that part? ZERO PMS symptoms? Yes!!!! it is possible.

most people think of St. John’s were with depression. I took it after my daughter passed away, it is effective. But it’s so much more than that… Helps with depression, anxiety, mood swings, withdrawal symptoms, antiviral, restores hormone balance, anti-inflammatory, pregnancy pains, PMS symptoms, OCD ++++

can be found in Full Script. Link in bio.

This person already had drastic improvements in her symptoms before she got her results back. It was a few simple tweaks with a few simple supplements. We’re both glad she didn’t do what she originally reached out for, because that was wrong. The testing showed it!

One size does NOT fit all👗

I have a very customizable approach to health, food, supplements, etc.

Some people need more exercise, others less (or restorative, calming type)

Some people it’s OK to start with their symptoms or goals, others need to address underlying issues first (maybe intestinal permeability)

Some people would do just fine with one line and vitamins while others need something else (always considering cost and effectiveness)

It’s my goal when working with people to not have sensitivities, to not live in a world of a list of things they can’t have. Some people do need to start with a restrictive diet for a period of time for whatever reason (cleansing, thyroid, allergies, etc.)

Many of my food conversations are about protein, healthy fats, soluble fiber (gut health), live enzymes, ….but this person (pic 3 tx message) …. She needed more carbs! Now I’m not talking about donuts, McDonald’s, pasty/processed carbs. I’m talking about a baked potato, orzo, ancient grains.

That’s not something I say often sure but she was really good about focusing on protein and vegetables and almost 100% avoided any form of carb. She was tired and feeling unsatiated. even with her focus on protein, her protein levels were low. High protein from mainly animal sources stresses liver and digestion, and the body is not able to break protein down into amino acids to be used. (I know I know… There’s plenty of carnivore people out there, let’s test and see what your results are!😃🧪🤷🏻‍♀️)

Those healthy carbs are the underlying, slow to break down, form of energy for our body and brain. She needed that!

Don’t get me wrong, most people think if something good, a whole lot more is better. Definitely not true. I’m not talking about carb overload. I’m talking about all things in moderation.

Whenever a person does something to an extreme for an extended period of time they start feeling the detriments.

How’s your energy level? Do you feel energized or tired after you eat? Are you sick of guessing? Let’s do some testing!

When I was packing up for camping, I was thinking of what to bring for who…
Who might get a headache? (Nolan)
Magnesium, B2, Trelief, Arnica Montana, peppermint

Who might get muscle aches? McCoy (still recovering from surgery & might get uncomfortable)
Magnesium. Tea relief. Arnica Montana. Peppermint.

Who might get a cut or a scrape? Kids (or Lexi going w/ open toed shoes on rocks.😂)
Band-Aids. Tea tree oil. Natural triple anabiotic equipment. Medical tape. Butterfly bandage.

Does anyone get heartburn? Only when they’re pregnant! Is anyone pregnant? Nope!

Bugs: natural insect repellent. Peppermint. Lavender. Lemon grass.

It sounds like a lot, but isn’t it nice to see how they overlap?!!!

Nolan did get a headache. Mariah also had menstrual cramps…. had them both covered! No one had muscle soreness, bugs weren’t bad at all, No one had an injury but Tom did use the medical tape to create a seal for the mattress pad in the tent (which worked!) .🙌

It’s always good to have what you need on hand 🛍️ pick up these items in Full Script for the summer! Full Script is in my bio in Linktree

Man, time flies! Can you believe it’s been a week?
So nice to get together with these wonderful women!

was finishing up a massage, stopped in to chat, then headed out to golf

had work and a 4:15 vet appointment

lined up her day to wrap up and be there in time

Life is busy!!! But I am so thankful we all took time to cross paths for a moment that day! Staying connected outside of social media. 💕

We caught up on kids & someday kids. Marriage (boyfriend… not both. Mallory‘s boyfriend😂). Work (random jobs we’ve done settling up a busines/tax benefits, hip camp and other investments). Spring flowers & we never got to summer plans…. And I have a FUN summer ahead! We also compared apps that rate clean products (which I’ve kinda given up on …. Jacki, Mallory… remind me what you use, I’ve already forgotten!)

Thanks for taking a moment out of the busyness of life to chat over a cupppa coffee (decaf because it was 4 🤣), or sparking water, or just water! Already looking forward to the next one! ❤️

04/28/2025

A patient asked a question about internal and external hemorrhoids. I was going to answer on my story, but this is a big question that quite a few people ask about and I don’t think they understand all the things that go with it. Thought this might help others out as well!

It just dawned on me… Why have I not done a protocol for this? Oh yeah, time!! 😂

1. we all HAVE hemorrhoids. They are normal cushions of tissue that are filled with blood vessels that help control bowel movements.
2. When people say they have hemorrhoids what they mean is their hemorrhoids are inflamed
3. When people ask for help, I’m not sure if they mean, preventing them or helping with more of acute hemorrhoids
4. there’s four different grades of hemorrhoids
5. when you say internal, I don’t know if you actually mean hemorrhoids or diverticulitis… Which is a totally different thing but often confused

To fully go though it and get good information, rather than a few quick things thrown out that would require a consultation. Please feel free to schedule that, I would be more than happy to help!

In the meantime, I’ll just mention a few for each
Prevention:
1. Don’t use your phone while on the toilet (people end up sitting longer, cuts off circulation)
2. lose weight if you’re overweight
3. Address constipation/strain
4. Make sure you get adequate water intake!
5. Eat fermented foods
6. Avoid alcohol and spicy food

Calming:
I put lots of different vitamins in your cart!! not saying you need them all by any means…. but lots of helpful options to look through! If anyone else out there wants me to send them a few things to look through… Send me your email address!

How are your bowel moments?

All disease begins in the gut! A good starting places to check your transit time.💩

This type of conversation is unfortunately too familiar ~

Call with a patient today she explained her journey to finding me …
She had been struggling with some issues, doctor kept saying she was fine. She begged for deeper testing because she sure didn’t feel “fine”, they did some additional testing and found H. pylori. She was happy they found something! Unfortunately, their answer was strong antibiotics, that didn’t work. They suggested another round of antibiotics. And she now feels worse than she did before… Her autoimmune is flaring up, her gut is worse, she said they keep “missing the mark..
every. single. time.”

There’s so much to be said with this all too familiar conversation, that doesn’t even include the damage that two rounds of antibiotics does (over 90% of your serotonin receptors are housed in your gut. Two rounds of antibiotics increases major depression by 50%. Over 70% of your immune system is housed in your gut,). I find typical testing doesn’t look deep enough, doesn’t test the right things, compares the numbers to the average population to get “their normal”, but the average population is sick so that shouldn’t be their bar, but it is!

Are you ready to test a different way? Let’s go! 🙌

I had full intentions on heading over to the Elk River farmers market after meeting with the ladies… But we ended up chatting until the market was almost done🤗…. Time certainly slipped away.

At the end of the day, we’re all just doing our best whether it has to do with our job, marriage, home, kids, technology. It sure is nice to have support and be a support! 🤍

I was thinking about the last get together and with this one it dawned on me… what a bunch of creative entrepreneurs I’m surrounded by!!!

makes leather bound journals and jewelry
has a seasonal job. Off-season paints, and sells furniture and kind of homesteads.
personal trainer and own a couple businesses with her husband. One of them converting media.
Oliveda skin care (but you can come to me for that too LOL 😂)kriv coordinator of fabulous events
one on one and group personal training

We’re going to start a group chat to decide the best day/time/location. If you want your name on the message, let me know. You can DM me your phone number. I’ll start with the people that have already attended. 🙌
Already looking forward to the next one

Oh my goodness, she just reached out about picking up some Rachael’s remedy, but wanted to pop in to tell me that her pain is nearly gone. I was so happy for her! (she had struggled with pain from lupus for years!!)

Here’s what she had to say…
Yes the pain is gone. Just very rarely the pain in my joints appears and it depends on the diet the day before. I did change my diet. I eat mostly what I cook and less sugar or salt, less fried foods. I bake my own bread from the starter.

she did a couple of tests, a few appointments going over the results and recommendations, including some lifestyle changes, diet changes, and supplements. In addition to focusing on lowering inflammation, we made sure to add in some adrenal support to calm the nervous system and B vitamins. These, in addition to the repair that they’re doing, help make her “feel better” as her body is getting better! 🙌🙏

Where are you at and what’s holding you back? Let’s connect!! 🤍
