I know how frustrating it is when you’ve been through test after test, colonoscopies, endoscopies, elimination diets, and you still have bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhea, stomach pain, or nausea that no one seems to get to the bottom of🙈😩

Only to have doctors hand you another prescription, recommend Metamucil, and leave you feeling even more confused, defeated, and sometimes worse than before.

💔 Ugh! There is another way.

What if instead of band-aiding symptoms, we asked:
👉Is there an infection, like H. pylori or parasites?
👉Has a history of antibiotics wiped out your microbiome?
👉Are you consuming too much raw food, fiber, or processed junk your gut just can’t handle right now?
👉Is stress wreaking havoc on your whole system?
👉Are you under-eating protein/stuck in a diet that doesn’t nourish you?

🙈Conventional medicine isn’t designed to explore these questions. It’s laser-focused on suppressing symptoms instead of understanding WHY they happen in the first place.

I know this because I’ve been there myself and have listened to sooooo many of my clients being told “everything looks normal” while they’re still absolutely miserable😭

Addressing root causes is NOT easy, especially in a world where we’re trained to look for quick fixes. But I promise you ‼️ digging deeper, and rebuilding true gut health from the inside out, is WORTH IT. 🙏

If you’re tired of settling for a life half-lived because of digestive struggles, it is time to ask different questions AND get different answers.

Your physical health is so much more than just a number on a scale or what size pants you’re wearing. Your physical health affects your day-to-day interactions, the thoughts that go on in your head, the way you show up as a mother, husband, brother, sister, daughter, friend, neighbor, leader, etc. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What you put into your body, you’re going to get out.⠀
My mission is to help YOU make TARGETED changes in your life so that you can FEEL and LIVE your very best.⠀
This is NOT about stressing over the next diet you need to try or spinning your wheels trying to figure out why the headaches, migraines, bloating, weight gain, acne, PMS, etc just WONT let up😩

I want to help YOU take CONTROL over your life.⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
WHY?? Because when we FEEL GOOD, we DO GOOD. And that’s the kind of empowered positive ripple effect that this world needs! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I refuse to settle in any area of life- relationships, spirituality, marriage, HEALTH. When we stop reaching for more, we stop growing. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about daily improvement & reflection! + a commitment to the process of figuring out what is truly best for YOU!

Do you agree??

I still think that stat on the first slide is absolutely freaking crazy 🤯

But the good news is that I believe MORE people now than ever are WAKING up and are sick of getting no answers from the conventional world. The more questions we ask, the more energy we commit to real, true healing based on our PERSONAL needs - the more we get back 10-fold!

No symptom is “normal.” Your body is talking to you🙏

Double tap if you agree with me!

I thought this reminder was timely 😊

Now is about the time where most people give up on their new year health goals 😬 How are we doing out there?!

Wherever you are at in your health journey - remembering that it is in fact a JOURNEY is absolutely critical to your short and long term success.

It might suck for a while
There will be days when you don’t want to keep going.

You WILL fail (over and over and OVER again)

Reflect on those days, know that it’s not a linear process, and remember WHY you started!👏

The reward is 1000%%% worth it!!!! I promise you!

I know many of us have been through the WRINGER trying to figure out why we wake up every day with debilitating fatigue, crazy mood swings, heavy periods, fibroids, endometriosis…. Only to be dismissed by doctors, offered a “bandaid” solution that makes us feel worse, and left feeling hopeless.

I can tell you, my friend: The truth is on that second slide.

We have to be asking ourselves - what in the way we live our life are we doing that could be perpetuating the dysfunction. Is it constantly consuming inflammatory foods (gluten, sugar, alcohol being huge ones)? Is it going to bed way too late and not eating until after lunch time? Is it overexercise? Trying to cut as many calories as possible? Caffeine all day? Not enough protein? Putting up with drama and chaos from others in our life?

😬🤔🤔

Our doctors are NOT trained in this. The conventional model is not designed to allow for this kind of work - I’ve even seen naturopaths and functional medicine doctors operate in a similar manner😣

It’s not about being hard on yourself - it’s about lacing up your boots, taking stock of where you can and are willing to improve and BELIEVING in the power of your body to truly HEAL.

Addressing root cause is freaking H A R D. I’m not going to lie to you. Especially in a world that has us buying the “next best quick fix” for literally any problem.

But I’ve done this for so long (and experienced it myself) to know that committing to never settling for a sub-optimal state of existence is WORTH IT🙏🙏🙏

What do you think? Do you agree with me?

Are you overwhelmed and don’t know where to start with improving your health? Here are my top 8 tips!

We are seeing SUCH high rates of infertility, PCOS, autoimmune diseases….. When you look at how we are living, it is no wonder 😩

PS: For period and cycle education I highly recommend following my friend 👏🙏😍

If you learn one thing from me I hope that it is the fact that there is NO such thing as a supplement that is right for everyone 🙆‍♀️😬

Those of us that have studied Nutritional Therapy + Supplement Implementation for many years get a little crazy with what we see on social media sometimes😵‍💫

If you have been taking collagen powder for a while - even from a brand you think is “clean” - yet still struggle with mood disorders, anxiety, and/or depression…. It’s quite possible that the ROOT CAUSE of the imbalances are being perpetuated by a your “health promoting supplement” like collagen powder.

NEVER accept disease as your final conclusion. Ever.

The body was not designed to suffer from daily headaches, chronic fatigue, moodiness, digestive issues, painful periods, etc. the list goes on!

Anyone who is telling you otherwise is frankly just lazy and uneducated!😬🤷‍♀️

NO- the body was intricately and divinely designed to THRIVE

We just have to remove the interference!🙌🙌

Who’s with me?

Maybe not so surprisingly - this habit often is the TOUGHEST for clients to change 😬

They are willing to change just about everything in the way that they eat, go to bed earlier, and forgo alcohol

BUT when I suggest this small tweak - I get some resistance 😅

I get it, when we are dealing with HPA axis dysfunction and are used to FATIGUE allllll day long, delaying a crutch that we feel like we need to get through our day is triggering 😬

But what if it was in fact EXACTLY what you needed to finally HAVE sustained, lasting energy all day long?👏 👀

Questions? Do you already do this & have noticed a difference? Let me know in the comments!

I used to LOVEEEEEE probiotics and getting clients on them ASAP!

But I was wrong. They are NOT the “one size fits all” solution to gut woes that I believed they were 😖

Now I RARELY use them with clients until they are DONE killing off the bad bugs 🦠 that are at the root cause of their gut/hormone/neurological symptoms.

Scroll through to see some of the bad buggies that I have seen irregardless of PERFECT good bacteria levels!🫣

Instead, my clients and I now spend a few (sometimes not very fun😝) months addressing these imbalances so that by the end - they feel like a million bucks! 💰

After an eradication protocol is over, I typically recommend cycling through a few different of my favorite probiotic brands and/or also encouraging reintroduction of fermented foods. Changing your probiotic every 3-4 months is super important for microbial diversity!

Sometimes weight loss is SIMPLE

But more often than not, for women who are in the middle of building a career and/or raising their children, it can be complicated and confusing 😵‍💫

Looking beneath the surface at potential imbalances is SO beneficial!

Have you been struggling? Does examining the potential root-cause of your slow metabolism intrigue you? Do you suspect hormonal imbalances and gut issues?
