I started lifting in college. I was a rower at a college in upstate NY. I loved it from the start. I liked to push myself. The team was my best motivator.

Since college, lifting weights has been a staple in my life. Because I really enjoy it. I’m not a big person, and in my 50s I have to take special care for injuries (left hip, left shoulder, neck and brain). I commit to 2-3 days a week in the gym. The community, the music, the coaches and friends keep my coming back.

Do what you love. ❤️ if you love lifting weights, then do it.

If you read all the talk on lifting heavy but that feels like an obstacle, find your “doorway”. What small change can you make to bring movement and exercise into your life?

Don’t over think it. Just do it.

Then, see where that takes you. Small habits can lead to big change. Thanks to for making the gym a fun and safe place to be!

I found him cringy to begin with - selling longevity to billionaires? What about the common man, and woman.

Fresh nut and seeds milks are easy to make and nutritious. My favorite milk to make is pumpkin seed and Brazil nut.

I’m making almond milk in this batch.

No additives, gums or emulsifiers that can irritate the gut.

I compost the grounds but tell me what you would do with it. Comment 👇.

I’ll be at the Tuesday, February 3 for a class all about nuts and seeds. Want the class handout? Comment 👇. We’re making power balls, seed milks and chia seed pudding.

Today I’m observing the national day of solidarity.

I’ve canceled corporate subscriptions, called and emailed my Montana delegation and I won’t buy a thing today unless it’s directly to a local person in my community.

I’m working a bit today to wrap up the week and to support my clients.

And, I’ll head outside and to the barn to regulate and restore my nervous system. It will be a day spent with slowness and connection.

How about you? What are you up to today? ❤️

It’s been hard for me to find my voice in all that’s happening in our country right now. While I don’t want to stay silent I also feel helpless.

I can’t pretend that everything is normal in our country and in the world right now. And no, this page isn’t going to suddenly be a political page. But it is and always will be a page that supports you in feeling your best, and in order to do that, we need to look to see where our body, heart ❤️ and mind experience flow and where we have friction.

Self advocacy is an important piece of whole body health.
Speak up where you can.
Choose kindness and clarity in your words and actions.
Call your state senators and representatives. Send them letters, too.
Have conversations with friends, family and neighbors.
Seek to understand one another.
Take good care of yourself so that you can be clear on your values.

With care,
Karen

Probiotics aren’t magic — they need the right gut environment to actually work. 💛 Save this if you’ve tried them all and still feel bloated.

I’m back to the “real world”. I’m not gonna lie it’s cold 🥶 and I’ve spent the work week wrapped around the heater, trying to feed myself good food while reminiscing of the warmth. And I just wonder how close my real life can look like a retreat. I’m writing ✍️ down my thoughts but I’m wondering what you think? Are our lives today just too much?? Drop me a comment 👇 or a DM. I’d love to hear from you.

Honestly? I’m tired of all the health advice online.

And this is coming from someone trained in the health field.

There’s so much conflicting information—eat this, don’t eat that, fast, don’t fast, take this supplement, avoid that one. Instead of helping, it leaves people overwhelmed and second-guessing their bodies and their inner knowing.

What actually helped me wasn’t more information. It was clarity—figuring out the right actions for MY body and then doing them consistently, over time, in real life. This is Functional Nutrition.

If this resonates, follow along. Let’s learn to honor your unique body, story, and life so you can take the right actions, consistently.

Everything I do with myself and with my clients starts and ends with the gut.

So why does my content here on IG or on my blog seem to talk about everything but the gut?

Because so much affects our gut - stress, our reactions to stress, our food, how we breathe, our thoughts, how we eat and when, our sleep quality and timing, our genes, and so much more.

And this is what makes gut health individual and specific. What works for one may not work for another.

The clues on how to support a healthy gut lie in our story, our health history, genetics, relationships, our core values and how we feel and when. It’s what I love about my job - learning about a client’s individuality and helping them to hone their own path to healing.

And, in case you didn’t know, if you have an autoimmune disease like Hashimoto’s or fatigue, brain fog, skin irritation (all things not traditionally connected to gut health), this information applies to you, too.

If you’re ready to peel back the layers to good health, drop me a message and let’s talk.
