Thanksgiving plates can overload digestion, leaving you sluggish, bloated, and foggy.

Ginger and turmeric are two of the most powerful digestive allies.

Ginger stimulates stomach acid and speeds gastric emptying, so food breaks down efficiently and doesn't sit heavy.

Turmeric increases bile production from the liver, which is essential for digesting fats and preventing that greasy, weighed-down feeling.

Both spices also calm inflammation in the gut lining, reducing the chain reaction of discomfort and post-meal fatigue.

Make it practical: brew ginger-turmeric tea before your big meal, season roasted vegetables, or whisk them into dressings.

What's one dish you're excited to eat tomorrow?

I used to wake up every day feeling like I'd been hit by a truck.

Mornings were impossible.

My body felt heavy, my brain felt foggy, and no matter how much I slept, I never felt rested.

Every doctor I saw told me the same thing: "Your labs are normal. You're fine. It's probably just stress."

But I wasn't fine.

I was exhausted after 8 hours of sleep. Irritable over nothing. Bloated after every meal. Relying on coffee just to function.

And deep down, I knew something was wrong - even if the tests couldn't find it.

That's when I stopped waiting for someone to give me permission to feel better.

I ran my own functional testing. I looked at inflammation markers, nutrient levels, hormones - things standard labs don't measure.

And suddenly, everything made sense.

The chronic inflammation. The mineral deficiencies. The gut dysfunction was stealing my energy before I even got out of bed.

It wasn't in my head. It was in my cells.

Now I help women do the same - because "normal" labs don't mean you have to feel terrible.

If you've been told you're fine but you know you're not, I see you. And I can help.

If you always wake up at 3 AM after Thanksgiving dinner, your body isn’t just being “weird” – it’s telling you it’s overwhelmed.

Right before the holidays, most of us make exceptions. We stay up later, snack while cooking, eat more carbs and dessert, and enjoy a drink or two.

That’s normal.

But underneath, sugar, wine, late nights, and stress drain your minerals, spike and crash your blood sugar, and flip your cortisol rhythm – which is exactly why you wake up wired in the middle of the night and feel wrecked the next day.

If the “most wonderful time of the year” usually leaves you bloated, exhausted, irritable, or sick by January, it’s not because you’re weak or undisciplined.

It’s physiology – and once you understand what’s happening, you can support your body without giving up the parts of the holidays you enjoy.

I break down what’s really going on (and simple resets you can start before Thanksgiving) in this week’s blog:

“Why You Wake Up at 3 AM After Thanksgiving Dinner.” See details below 👇

I kept getting told "your labs look fine."

But nothing about my life felt fine.

Dragging through the workday. Bloated after meals.

Too wiped out for anything after dinner.

That isn't "just aging." It's your body running on survival mode instead of real energy.

Ever been dismissed like that when you knew something was wrong?

Your body is always on your side. Every symptom is a guidepost toward balance and healing.

Holiday fatigue isn't just from food - it's from toxin overload. Support your liver with bitters, cruciferous veggies, and water.

Gut inflammation keeps your immune system on high alert 24/7. That's why fatigue, brain fog, and mood swings all show up together.

Food isn't fuel until it's absorbed. Low stomach acid or enzymes = low nutrients, no matter how "clean" you eat.

You can eat perfectly and still be nutrient-deficient if digestion isn't working. Low stomach acid or enzymes = low absorption.

Garlic has been used as medicine for centuries - and modern research explains why.

When garlic is chopped, it forms allicin, a sulfur compound with powerful antimicrobial effects against bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Unlike many remedies, garlic works where it matters most - in the gut.

Because over 70% of your immune system is housed there, reducing hidden pathogens strengthens your body's frontline defenses.

Even beyond immunity, garlic's sulfur compounds improve cholesterol, blood pressure, and circulation - making it a full-body resilience food.

For best results, chop garlic and let it rest 5-10 minutes before cooking to activate allicin. Add it raw to dressings or dips, or stir it into warm soups.

What's your favorite way to use garlic?

By the time I got home from work, I had nothing left.

Dinner turned into takeout, laundry piled up, and I snapped at my family over nothing.

It wasn't because I was juggling too much or couldn't handle stress.

It was because my body was already running on empty. When energy production breaks down, even simple evenings feel impossible.

I used to wake up feeling like I hadn't slept at all. Dragging myself through the day. Bloated.

Anxious for no clear reason.

Doctor after doctor ran labs and told me I was "fine."

It's just stress. It's motherhood. It's early perimenopause.

But no one ever asked why my body was shutting down.

That's when I realized the system isn't built to look for root causes. So I went digging for them myself.

Now I help women get the clarity and answers I wish someone had given me.

If your body feels off and no one can explain why - reach out.
