Friends, I’m reaching out with something deeply personal that weighs heavy on my heart. As many of you know, I work every day to help women feel better, stronger, and more in control of their health—but today, I want to talk about someone who needs our support.

My dear friend—someone I’ve known and loved for nearly 30 years—was the one who threw my very first baby shower. She's been there through thick and thin, and today, she’s facing something no parent ever wants to hear: her 22-year-old son, Austin has been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy.

Austin should be planning adventures, not chemo schedules. His fight is just beginning, and it’s a brutal road. As his family supports him with everything they’ve got, I want to rally the kind and generous community we’ve built here to help ease just one part of their burden: meals.

A Meal Train fundraiser has been set up to help them with dinners during this difficult time—because when you’re holding your child’s hand through chemo, you shouldn’t have to worry about what’s for dinner.

If you're in a place to help—whether it's donating, sending a meal, or simply sharing the link—please know it will mean the world to this family.

🫶 Let’s be the village.
Let’s show them that even in the hardest of times, they’re not alone.

Here's the link to visit and share;

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

With love,

PHANTOM CYCLING: EVER HEARD OF IT?

You know what’s wild?
Most women stop tracking their cycle once it starts ghosting them for six months at a time. I did!

But guess what? Your hormones didn’t actually get the memo. They’re still out here, messing with you. 😑

This has been me for the last two weeks:
🙋‍♀️ Night flashes? Back.
🙋‍♀️ Libido? What libido?
🙋‍♀️ Hunger cues? Confusing as heck.
🙋‍♀️ Caffeine? Yes, please.

But here’s the thing: I know exactly what to do right now. I know what to eat, when to rest, when to move, and which supplements help me keep from snapping like a twig in a hurricane. 🌪️

This morning’s lineup:

💛 Progesterone Yam Rub-On Cream – Because my body misses progesterone, and this helps with sleep, mood, and keeping me from launching into orbit 🚀 over small annoyances. Bonus: This one has lavender to keep things chill.

🧡 Organic Turmeric Capsules – Fighting inflammation so I don’t feel like a walking creaky door hinge. Also supports liver detox, which we all need during this phase. (It helps to stimulate bile, for one)

💙 Iodine with Kelp – Because my thyroid needs love, especially now that things are shifting. Energy, metabolism, and hormone balance? Yes, please.

💜 DIM – Helping my body process estrogen the right way, so it doesn’t build up and turn me into the rage queen of the century. (Y’all know that part of the cycle I’m talking about. 🫠)

And of course, switching from all-day caffeine mode ☕ to my Goddess Blend Tea—because supporting my adrenals is a must right now.

So, tell me—have you ever heard of phantom cycling? 👀
Most of us don’t realize we still have a cycle, even when it’s unpredictable (or straight-up missing). But when you learn to track it, you can eat, move, and supplement smarter—so you snap less and enjoy life more.

Who’s in the Phantom Cycle Club with me?
And what’s been your biggest surprise in this stage of life?

Drop a comment—I wanna hear it! ⬇️💬

👍🏼 and friends, I can get you a discount on all the things! Your brands. The kind you order from Amazon? I can get you THOSE prices thru FullScript. Ciao!

02/27/2025

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic have become the latest craze for weight loss and metabolic health. But here’s the thing: those medications aren’t addressing the why behind the weight gain. Is it chronic inflammation triggering autoimmune responses? Hormone imbalances throwing your metabolism off track? Or maybe a gut microbiome so out of sync it’s practically waving a white flag?

This is where a personalized, holistic approach shines. Instead of relying on a cookie-cutter, “one-size-fits-all” method, why not focus on what your body actually needs?

The GLP-1 Connection and Natural Synergy

GLP-1 plays a powerful role in regulating blood sugar, appetite, and weight. Natural approaches like probiotics, targeted supplements, and gut health optimization can boost your body’s ability to produce this hormone. The right probiotics—like Akkermansia muciniphila and Clostridium butyricum—can enhance GLP-1 production while also repairing gut health, reducing inflammation, and fostering metabolic harmony.

High-quality products like Pendulum’s blends include these superstar strains, working to amplify GLP-1 naturally while addressing gut dysbiosis. But why stop there?

Imagine pairing this with essential vitamins like D3/K2 to strengthen bones and immunity or Vitamin C to combat oxidative stress. And let’s not forget the importance of probiotics containing enzymes and antifungal properties to address candida and restore gut health. These support your journey by tackling systemic imbalances that no medication alone can fix.

Why Personalized Nutrition Matters

Spoiler alert: It’s not just about GLP-1. While boosting this hormone delivers incredible benefits, the real transformation happens when you layer in what your body needs—nutrients, minerals, and supplements tailored to you.

Let’s be honest: the “it worked for my sister/friend/co-worker” story is everywhere, but what works for someone else might not work for you. Everyone’s needs are different. Chronic inflammation? Hormone imbalances? Poor digestion? These require unique solutions.

The way of the future? Getting your labs done, establishing a baseline, and creating a strategy based on you. Dialing in on your individual needs is how you turn short-term fixes into long-term results.

The Amplified Effect

Upping your GLP-1 production naturally is a game-changer, but the impact is amplified when you address the root causes of imbalance:

Inflammation: The silent driver of autoimmune issues and weight gain.

Hormone Imbalances: The culprits behind mood swings, low energy, and metabolic struggles.

Gut Health: The cornerstone of overall wellness, impacting everything from digestion to immunity.

By integrating the right combination of probiotics, vitamins, and anti-inflammatory support, you set the stage for sustainable health—not just a temporary fix.

Why not amplify your health journey with a customized blend of GLP-1 support, probiotics, and complementary supplements designed just for you?
Together, we’ll address your baseline needs and go beyond the buzz to create a plan that works—and lasts.

Ready to take the next step? Let’s connect.

Akkermansia is one of the top 20 most common microbial species existing in the human gut microbiome (the community of microorganisms that live in the gut).
