Are you ready to make the biggest changes to your health than you have in years? Changes you didn’t think were possible?

I thought so.

This Monday 3/14 my premier cleanse course becomes available to enroll.

This is a 4-week foundational health & wellness accelerator for women and men who are struggling with digestive issues, frustrated with finding the best diet for their body, intuitively feel their health issues revolve around immune system issues, and have a history of undesirable thoughts, fears, and habits around their health.

It’s a professionally-proven cleansing program for body, mind, and spirit, removing obstacles to your body’s innate ability to heal and thrive so you can feel better now – and this entire process is where I start with all of my clients.

If you’ve been wanting to work with me but were unsure how, it was outside of your budget, or weren’t sure you were ready for the full 4-month commitment of my 1:1 programs, this is for you.

This is a way to complete the foundational part of my 1:1 programs at a premier rate, reach your next level of health freedom, and (for those of you considering working with me 1:1) you can even see how I work and what I have to offer while considering transitioning into a 1:1 program afterwards (while still saving a bit of cash, of course).

AND (as if there could be anything more) I’m offering an even more special price to my past clients because this counts as the “bi-yearly gentle cleansing” that I recommend for maintenance.

Because of that, this will only be offered for the month of April, then won’t be available again until October.

So mark your calendars! Open enrollment begins on Monday 3/14-3/25 and early bird pricing ends 3/19

I’m a Board Certified Holistic Health Specialist, or as I’ve come to refer to myself, a professional “not” doctor.

Why? Well, first of all, I’m not a medical doctor, but also because I’ll treat you so very differently than someone trained in the western medicine construct would.

I hear absolute horror stories in my practice, market research, and discovery calls about certain doctors being cold, flippant, gaslighting, saying “well that’s just the way some people are” (aka not being willing to look for answers), and just plain ol’ not giving a s**t. It’s SO upsetting to me because it is SUCH a common narrative and it keeps people from getting what they need.

Newsflash, medical system: you aren’t “healthy” just because you’re “not sick”.

That’s not to say all MD’s are “evil” or trying to make this process uncomfortable – I don’t think so. I think each doctor has different intentions and a different capacity for being compassionate and sensitive – but I do think treating people as if they’re numbers or as if they are naturally broken/dysfunctional (aka that people should just “deal with it”) and not listen to their bodies is a symptom of the medical educational system.

I, however, have been taught from the perspective of treating the WHOLE person – that includes your thoughts and feelings. I’ve been taught that there is always a reason for/mechanism behind our discomfort, and therefore a solution. I’ve been taught that the body wants to be healthy (not just a philosophy, this is physiologically true) and just needs the right push to get there.

I know what it’s like to struggle with health issues and feel desperate for answers – and I know what kind of support (mentally, emotionally, physically) people need to get through that process. And that’s why I’m a professional “Not” Doctor – and I’ll go to bat for you to help you be optimally healthy, not just “not sick”.

As promised, it’s time to dig into the first item on my New Client Checklist, aka what I use to evaluate people’s bodies and understand where to start for each person, individually.

Let’s start simple: Which foods are inhibiting your body from working at its fullest potential? And then which foods fuel your body toward its healthiest state?

That’s what we’ll be uncovering today with a few different tips and strategies.

Number one, how do we know, without a doubt, what doesn’t agree with our body?

There are many paths here, but I’ll talk about two of them:

IgG testing and Elimination diets.
If you’ve had prick testing (pricking the skin with an allergen to see if it swells) done in the past, I recommend a different approach. Prick testing doesn’t test for sensitivities – that is, when our body has mounted an immune system response using IgG antibodies. Prick testing only tests for IgE, aka the antibodies we make when we experience anaphylaxis or direct inflammation from a substance – it doesn’t test for the secondary immune response that can wreak havoc on our overall health and comfort.

Most people think they don’t have food sensitivities because there isn’t anything they’re eating that has them throwing up or running to the bathroom – this is only one way food sensitivities present.
They can also show up as:
- Headaches
- Skin issues
- Acne
- Overall fatigue
- Constipation
- Acid reflux
- Insomnia
-and even some more extreme health issues such as Hashimoto’s or Multiple Sclerosis are shown to be triggered in part by food sensitivities.

AND one of the reasons it can be so difficult for us to put a finger on these sensitivities is because it can take up to 72 hours for our body to react to any particular food.

That’s where testing comes in. An IgG Antibodies Test can be a clear way to see what our body is reacting to. If you have access to them, I recommend the tests from Great Plains Labs or Genova Diagnostics. I’ve had some conflicting experiences with Everlywell unfortunately.

"Honestly it's hard to know where to begin to explain how much Chelsea has changed my life for the better. When I started working with her I had lost hope that I'd ever feel better. I had daily brain fog, stomach issues, fatigue, vertigo etc. After 6 months of working with her all of that is gone. She opened my eyes to what health can be and how we can take charge of our own health and not have to rely on western medicine for everything. Disease can be prevented, these lingering symptoms we feel can go away, we can live healthy fulfilling lives. No more waking up thinking, “how bad is it going to be today?”. I will forever be grateful for the knowledge, kindness and compassion Chelsea has shown me. Most importantly the life she's given back to me that I didn't think was possible. If you are experiencing health issues and you just can't go to another doctor to have them tell you your labs are "normal" please see Chelsea you will not regret it."

It’s February coming up on March and now that we’ve all settled in and truly gotten back to business (including me), I’ve been wanting to touch base with you – and, I’ve been wondering what the best way to truly provide you value would be.

Well, I may have found something.

I just finished up a round of Market Research and the consensus among health-seekers is in: you feel overwhelmed by options and don’t know where to start.

Because of this really consistent feedback, as a gift, I want to give you insight into the process I use with each of my new clients (consider this a sneak peak into a practitioner’s mind) so you can know what you need, what to ask for, and cut the overwhelm – *and* know how to determine what your particular body needs instead of trying all the diets and all the health trends just to have them not work and leave you feeling frustrated.

So, without further ado, this is my New Client Checklist:

- Clearly understand which foods your body wants (and which it really really doesn’t)
- Gentle cleansing to prep the body
- Understanding your immune system function (This is *only* the foundation for the rest of our health – no big deal or anything)
- Checking in with the Adrenals (a gland MD’s hardly ever check)
- Checking in with the Thyroid
- Understanding how emotions/trauma affect our system and taking inventory of our ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) Score

Yeah, I had a busy holiday too 🤪 Feeling like you need a holiday from your holidays? Been too busy to find/commit to the reset you’ve been craving after all the food and fun this holiday season?

Here’s a 1 month cleanse protocol for those of you feeling late to the New Years party and wanting a post holiday refresh 💫

This is for you if:

- You feel like you’re generally pretty healthy but want a reset after the craziness of the holidays to jump start your health and comfort in the New Year

- You’ve been experiencing chronic skin, weight, and/or health issues and are feeling a little fed up after the holidays + feeling motivated to jump start your healing journey

Did you know it’s recommended by both ancient and modern whole-body wellness practices to complete some version of a gentle cleanse twice a year?

It is generally when we remove barriers to healing in the form of toxins, dysbiosis, heavy metals, chemicals, food intolerances, candida, etc and balance the microbiome/allow the immune system to disengage that we experience glowing skin, great digestion, increased focus and mental acuity, and spontaneous health corrections (it was through this preliminary process that I was able to heal my seizures!!)

This process is highly personalized to exactly what will benefit your body most and at the right time – cutting out the guesswork.

There will be a simple interview process to determine if this is a good fit for you. I don’t take anyone and everyone – only the people I know I can get a great result for. It’s how I stay in integrity and make sure everyone I meet is given radically impactful direction in their healing process ✨✨ (because even if we don’t work together, I can point you in the right direction/to the right people + resources!).

Sound interesting? Hop on my calendar for via link in bio for a preliminary call:

Today is your last day to claim the discount for my program — that’s $500 off.

If you’re going to do it anyway, you might as well save a bit — that’s what I always say, anyway.

If you book the call today and complete it in the next week, I’ll earmark it for you and still honor the discount (I know things can get a little hectic over the holidays) 💜

There are now only 3 spots left and counting. Don’t let life pass you by and definitely don’t let any extra second pass not feeling comfortable in your body.

If there’s any part of you that’s interested in a program like this, I invite you to take advantage of this offer. Why not?

Every body is different and the fact we haven’t had personalized wellness guidance based on the unique challenges our bodies face is a crock — in my humble opinion, anyway.

But look — it doesn’t have to be this way.

You deserve a life filled with joy, energy, comfort, and the ability to trust your body.

And this January, I’ll show you how.

For the last few months I’ve been working on something big that will help you take back control of your body, comfort, and life — for good. 

It’s called my Sustainable Wellness Concierge, and you can join me January 3rd for the premiere release of my joint mind/body program.

My program launch is going on right now, aka it’s sign-up time.  I only have 4 of 6 spots left — and early bird pricing ends on Friday — that’s $500 off!

Oh and last but not least, 5% of all program proceeds go to support one of my favorite non-profits – GO Broken to Beautiful, The Prison Project.

If there’s any part of you that’s interested in a program like this, I invite you to hop on my calendar (link in bio). Let’s chat.

I only accept clients I know I can get a result for, that’s part of what the call is for. I’m perfectly comfortable saying no and pointing you toward a different resource that is better suited – this is a two way discovery process to see if we’re a good match.

Can’t wait to chat 💜

I’m opening up my program TODAY to work with 6 women starting this January who who have experienced trauma (in any capacity), are currently experiencing chronic skin/weight/health issues (even autoimmune), and who are having trouble finding answers or results anywhere else. I do this to help women feel like there are answers for them, like their bodies make sense, and to help them finally feel comfortable in their bodies + able to feel well enough and have the energy to do the things they love.

This is for you if:

- you feel like you eat/have a healthier lifestyle than others yet feel sicker
- Other diets or methods of working with your symptoms haven’t achieved complete relief
- You have known or unknown instances of trauma that predated symptoms
- Want your health, weight, skin, menstrual cycle to take up less room in your mind/life – aka you just don’t want to think about it anymore
- You’re ready to feel comfortable in your body and mind

This is a 90 day program designed to completely change the trajectory of your health, create a new baseline for your health so you just don’t have to think about it anymore, and let your body be the comfortable place it’s meant to be.

I’m offering $500 off each program until Friday November 26th – my own little holiday sale. After that, it will be full price again.

So sign up now, go enjoy your holidays, then we’ll get started in January.

DM me for more details or pop on my calendar for a preliminary consult (link in bio)

Still unsure? Book a discovery call with me and we can see if this is the best fit for your body and situation. Even if not, I’m happy to provide as much insight as I can and it’s seriously no biggie if you just want to pop in and see what it’s all about.

OR, if you know someone who could benefit from something like this, you have my permission to give them my information. I just want as many people that this information/approach can be helpful for to have access to it.

Bold is the New Black

Me? I’m Chelsea, a naturopath in training with boldness on her mind. I want lady independents and creatives to know it’s ok to make noise, and give them the information they need to make more informed choices in beauty and self-care.

Why? Because the world is a better place when we do the exact, offbeat thing we’re meant to – stop trying to fit anyone’s mold.

So, in true Uncouth Youth form, I do just that – I mix the un-mixable. Combining my background in health with rebellious rhetoric and personal styling; I bring you head-turning looks to find your edge, the best non-toxic beauty products that don’t compromise fun or function (who ever said you can’t have it all?), and how to pay attention to the inner workings of your body to do your beauty regimen’s work for you.

Bold is the new black, biddies, and it’s your best color.
