This is so true!

✨ Real change starts with compassion—for your mind, not just your plate. ✨

Lifestyle shifts don’t happen in survival mode. When stress, trauma, or constant pressure are running the show, willpower alone isn’t enough—and that’s not a personal failure. It’s human.

As Dr. Judy Brangman reminds us, sustainable health begins when we create space for calm, safety, and support. From there, nourishing choices—like whole, plant-based foods—become tools for healing, not coping mechanisms.

🌱 Progress doesn’t have to be perfect.
💙 Start where you are.
🧠 Care for your mental health as fiercely as your physical health.

What’s one small way you can support your well-being today?

Walking is a simple way to regulate your nervous system.

Walking is the single most natural and simple way to regulate your nervous system. If you can, do it outside. The natural bilateral eye movement from walking will help you process stress, difficult situations, and will help you process emotional memories.

When stressful things happen to us, we need to move so our brain can process the emotions. When we sit still after stress for long periods of time, we ruminate. Rumination is playing a situation in our mind over and over again. We do this because the emotional memory is trying to be processed, but with the body in a state of stillness, it can’t happen.

Chronic rumination leads to depression.

It’s no coincidence that as we’ve been pulled into sedentary lifestyles, depression has increased. Our ancestors walked all the time. Throughout the day. Every day. “Walk it off,” is not just a saying, it’s a truth.

Add walking into your daily life whenever you can. Even small bursts of walking help.

Some ideas:

1. A simple walk around your block

2. Drive to a park or a street with shops and walk it (explore new parks or hikes you haven’t been on before)

3. Park father away every time you have a chance

4. If weather is bad, walk indoor malls or shopping centers

5. Find a walking buddy to hold you accountable

6. Ask to do therapy or coaching on the phone so you can walk

7. Get a small treadmill and a stand for your laptop so you can work and walk

Without enough natural movement and light, humans will inevitably end up depressed

This is what 30 pounds of turmeric looks like! This will be used in the next batch of Digestive Tonic. Y'all love that stuff :).

I was so grateful to meet Rhylon today from Goodness Grove, a small organic farm in Raleigh that utilizes compost, chemical-free, and no-till practices. Rhylon was nice enough to show me the farm, discuss all of his and his wife’s expansion plans, and I had a chance to see this beautiful turmeric in the ground firsthand. Goodness Grove produce can be found at the Cary Farmer’s Market every weekend. Stop by, say hello, and get some beautiful produce! Here's to new business partnerships!

Raw material update!

I am sharing with you guys a recent change I made regarding the raw apple cider vinegar I use for the tonics. I previously had been using Bragg’s raw organic ACV, which is diluted with water to 5% acidity. This never sat well with me. This year, I made the switch to Azure Standard raw organic ACV. It's NOT diluted with water and has a 6% acidity. I am in the process of phasing out my remaining Bragg’s supply, so please know that if you purchase one of the tonics and it tastes slightly different, this is the reason! It is my desire to always look for opportunities to improve the quality of my products, and this was a no-brainer. Here’s to continuous improvement efforts!

It's that time of year again! Fire cider is a must-have, immune-boosting herbal remedy for cold and flu season! My fire cider contains lots of medicinal herbs and is a great defense against nasty winter pathogens. This is .
