Year-end labs only help if the results are accurate. Supplements like biotin can throw things off fast — which is why understanding the full terrain matters.

As a functional medicine dietitian, I’m trained to read labs through the lens of real life: gut health, hormones, inflammation, iron, B12, lipids, and A1Cs. Not medical advice — just practical, evidence-based insight to get you clearer answers and faster results.

If you want support prepping for labs or making sense of your numbers, I’m here for that work.

Grams turns 99 today, and she’s the quiet anchor of our family. Born the same year as Queen Elizabeth II, back when gas was twenty-five cents a gallon, she’s lived through nearly a century of change with the same steady, grounded presence.

When you ask her secret to aging well, she’ll shrug and say, “Routine, I suppose.” And honestly, that’s exactly who she is. For decades she enjoyed her one afternoon beer, trusted how foods made her feel, and steered clear of anything that didn’t. She’s always been thoughtful about what she puts in her body and never one to overdo medications or supplements.

She’s deeply loved, fiercely loyal, and still surrounded by friends who adore her.

Happy 99th, Grams. What a gift it is to celebrate a life lived with this much intention and heart.

As we inch toward 2026, I’ve been sitting with my next “word of the year.”
Past words like flow, balance, butterfly, empower — they shaped my life far more than any resolution ever did.

I already have a strong front-runner for 2026, but I’m letting it settle before I claim it.

If you’ve never picked a Word of the Year, think of it as a north star. One word that cuts through the noise and nudges you back into alignment when life gets loud. It sharpens your boundaries, guides your health choices, and anchors your energy.

Let your word rise to the surface this week.
What theme do you want steering your year? Tell me below — I read every comment.

Set the goals.

About a year ago, I walked into the gym expecting dumbbells and sweat… and instead found myself in the middle of a winter faire. Not exactly the warm-up I had planned.

But then I saw her — an artist with these gorgeous Hocking Hills paintings that stopped me mid-stride. I told her, “If I hit a big goal next year, I’ll be back for one of these.” It was one of those declarations you make out loud so you can’t back out.

Fast-forward: goal met, art purchased, and it now hangs in my home as a daily reminder that following through is its own kind of strength training.

Say the thing. Do the thing. Back yourself. And if a little serendipity at the gym leads you to something beautiful? Even better.

you are truly talented!

Over the years, I developed my signature framework — the GRACE Method — to help restore balance, support gut health, and improve blood sugar stability.

I’m tightening my 1:1 roster starting December 1 to make space for new projects and programs. That means fewer private coaching spots moving forward. If you’ve been thinking about working together, now is the window.

If you want custom strategy, functional support, and direct access before spots close down, this is your chance to step in.

Every system in the body takes cues from your gut.
Your immune health? 70% of it lives there.
Your blood sugar? Shaped by how well your gut bacteria metabolize fiber and regulate inflammation.
Your hormones? Balanced through gut detox pathways.
Even your energy and focus? Influenced by what your microbes make from the food you eat.

If your digestion is off — bloating, constipation, sugar cravings, brain fog — it’s not just a “gut problem.”
It’s a signal your body’s communication network is struggling.

Start there.
Nourish your gut, and everything downstream begins to align — blood sugar, mood, hormones, metabolism, energy.
Real healing begins from the inside out.
