🍩 Feel like you’re out of control around food sometimes? I used to feel that way often.

Here's what I want you to know: You’re not broken. You’re not addicted. You’re not failing.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐚 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞.

Emotional and binge eating often come from:

💥 Unprocessed stress
🧠 A dysregulated nervous system
🧸 Inner child wounds
😞 Guilt or shame cycles
🍽️ Under-nourishment from dieting + blood sugar crashes

Here’s what helps (and none of it involves punishment):

💛 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠. Are you actually hungry, or are you thirsty, emotionally dysregulated, or tired?
🫁 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐚𝐭 – stop, check in with yourself, and take a few deep breaths to regulate your system
🍗 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 & 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲, these will help prevent blood sugar crashes (which initiate physical cravings) later in the day
📓 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐫. Was there an event or emotional shift that occurred right before you binged or felt out of control around food?
🧘‍♀️ 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭. Restriction is where willpower fails. Instead of trying to talk yourself out of eating the comfort food, replace the behavior. Make a cup of your favorite tea. Step outside. Pick up your favorite book.

𝘙𝘦𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦. There’s no shame in emotional eating. But there is power in learning new ways to meet your needs ❤️

Let’s get real: GLP-1 meds can help certain medical conditions, but they’re 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘤- you still have to adjust your eating habits, exercise, and deal with emotional eating triggers for the weight to stay off. They’re also not your only option.

Before going the pharmaceutical route, you might want to 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲’𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐆𝐋𝐏-𝟏 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞 and regulate blood sugar:

🌿 Berberine – Improves insulin sensitivity & mimics metformin
🍽 Inulin (prebiotic fiber) – Enhances satiety hormones like GLP-1
🦠 Probiotic strains – L. rhamnosus, B. lactis, L. plantarum boost gut-based GLP-1 signaling
🧃 Apple Cider Vinegar – Reduces blood sugar spikes after meals
🧂 Ceylon Cinnamon – Supports glucose balance & metabolism
💧 Hydration & fiber – Crucial for digestion & metabolic flow
🏋️‍♀️ Strength training & HIIT – Stimulates your own GLP-1 naturally
🌈 Polyphenol-rich foods – Berries, cacao, olive oil = reduce inflammation, which supports insulin sensitivity
🧠 Support Your Nervous System – Emotional eating doesn’t just vanish with a GLP, identifying and working through triggers can help

✨ Remember: There’s no one-size-fits-all path and it's important to make educated decisions when it comes to your health. Start with nutrition, nervous system, and muscle building, your metabolism will thank you.

2025 has been the most challenging year of my life to date ❤️‍🩹And after 40 years on this earth, that feels pretty significant. I’m reminded now, more than ever, to slow down and practice gratitude. I’m grateful for a spectacular birthday weekend spent with some of my favorite humans 💕I’m grateful for this beautiful change of seasons🍁 I’m grateful for my health as I enter a new decade ✨And I’m grateful that I continue to show up for myself, even on the days it feels really f*cking hard 😥 Much love to everyone else who’s going through it this year, because I know I’m not alone ❤️ #2025

That 𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝-𝐛𝐮𝐭-𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 feeling often points to adrenal dysregulation. Your adrenals (little glands that sit on top of the kidneys) help regulate our stress response. When the stress becomes chronic, these glands start to "fatigue" and we start to feel the symptoms of adrenal burnout.

🔥 Signs your adrenals are overtaxed:

Mid-afternoon crashes 😵
Cravings for salt or sugar 🍫
Sleep struggles 😴
Feeling “on edge” or depleted 💥

💚 Restore your energy with:

🌙 Consistent wind-down rituals (blue light blockers, magnesium, breath work)
🌿 Adaptogens like ashwagandha, rhodiola, or holy basil
🍽️ Protein-rich breakfasts to stabilize blood sugar + cortisol
🧘🏽‍♀️ Mind-body practices to shift from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest

It combines the gut healing + inflammation reducing properties of grass fed gelatin with the cortisol lowering + stress bursting effects of Tulsi, also known as Holy Basil. This belongs to an herbal family called 𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐬, which help our bodies ADAPT to stress 🤩

𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

✅4 cups strongly brewed Tulsi Tea, chilled
✅3 TBSP grass fed gelatin (such as Great Lakes brand)
✅1-2 Tablespoons raw honey, or liquid stevia/monk fruit to taste

Optional: you may replace up to 1 cup of tea with unsweetened cranberry or tart cherry juice for extra flavor/color

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

✅In a saucepan, whisk together the chilled tea and gelatin. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
✅Turn heat on medium and whisk mixture until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, then whisk in honey or liquid sweetener (honey loses many of it’s beneficial properties when exposed to high heat).
✅Pour into a mold, glass baking dish, or bowl and chill until set!

You're missing pieces of the puzzle. Your body is offering up clues, and it's time to look deeper 🧐

Functional tests can uncover imbalances that are draining your energy and creating hormonal chaos. My top tests for women when I hear these symptoms include:

🔬 𝟒-𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐥 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭
• Measures your stress hormones (cortisol) throughout the day.
• Reveals patterns like adrenal fatigue or cortisol spikes that disrupt sleep, mood, and energy.

🌀 𝐃𝐔𝐓𝐂𝐇 𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
• Evaluates estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol pathways.
• Vital for healthy menstrual cycles, managing PCOS, perimenopause, mood, and burnout patterns.

🥦 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠
• Identifies deficiencies in vitamins + minerals like magnesium, B12, zinc, iron.
• These are foundational for stress resilience + mood regulation.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐈 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞.

Not because everything feels easy.
Not because the world makes sense.
But because gratitude is an anchor - one I return to again and again, especially as a sensitive human navigating a chaotic world.

Today, I’m grateful for the 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦 of being someone who feels deeply.

I’m grateful for my body - this wise, intuitive vessel that guides me toward truth when my mind gets too cluttered.

I’m grateful for my clients. Those brave souls who are willing to put in the work, even if it means looking at the hard sh*t and tearing down the walls so they can rebuild - those who trust me with their fears, their shame, and their trauma.

I’m grateful for the seasons of my life that have challenged me—because they’ve taught me what no degree or certification ever could. That healing isn’t linear. That emotions manifest in physical symptoms. That empathy is not a weakness - it's a strength.

I’m grateful for the simple joys: Our abundance of sunny days. A client’s breakthrough. Mid day cuddles with my girl ❤️

Today, I don’t take any of it for granted. The journey, the mess, the little miracles.

If you’re reading this, I encourage you to share your own reasons for gratitude—however quiet or small they may feel today 💞

🧠 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝗪𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝

In today's climate of political instability and constant information overload, many professionals - especially those who identify as sensitive or empathic - are experiencing heightened levels of stress, emotional fatigue, even burnout.

Our society often labels sensitivity as "weakness." It’s not. It's a heightened awareness, an ability to perceive nuance, emotion, and energy that others may miss. But without intentional care, this sensitivity can lead to overstimulation and dysregulation.

If you're feeling exhausted or overwhelmed, it may be time to recalibrate your nervous system. Here are a few evidence-informed strategies I often recommend:

🔹 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐩𝐮𝐭: Curate your media consumption. Choose set times to engage with news and social media, and give your mind time to digest information.

🔹 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲: Eat consistent, balanced meals to stabilize blood sugar. Incorporate stress-regulating nutrients like magnesium, B vitamins, and adaptogenic herbs (under the guidance of a healthcare provider).

🔹 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭: Sleep isn’t a luxury; it’s neurological maintenance. Establish a tech-free wind-down ritual to improve sleep quality.

🔹 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠: Gentle movement, breathwork, time in nature, or mindfulness can help shift your system out of fight-or-flight.

Honoring your nervous system is not a retreat from reality—it’s a foundation for sustainable impact.

If you work with highly sensitive clients, lead teams, or are navigating leadership yourself, this awareness is vital for both personal and organizational health.

I'd love to hear from others navigating this terrain. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺?

𝘛𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦? 😴 Here's what your body might be trying to tell you:

Chronic fatigue isn’t just “getting older” or “being busy.” When energy is constantly low, it’s a signal- and when it starts to affect quality of life, it's worth decoding.

Here are a few of the most common root causes of low energy:

🔸 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫 𝐈𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 – Big energy crashes, especially after meals or in the afternoon, are often tied to glucose dysregulation (even if labs look normal).
🔸 𝐓𝐡𝐲𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐃𝐲𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – Even “subclinical” thyroid issues can tank your energy, slow metabolism, and leave you feeling foggy or heavy.
🔸 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 – Low iron, B12, magnesium, or vitamin D = poor cellular energy. You can't run a body on an empty tank.
🔸 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐀𝐩𝐧𝐞𝐚 – Often missed in women, because it doesn’t always show up as loud snoring. Instead, it might look like:
- Waking up tired despite 8+ hours of sleep
- Night sweats or insomnia
- Mood swings, anxiety, or memory issues

Especially in midlife, women’s symptoms are often dismissed or misdiagnosed—when the root might be right under the surface.

✨ If you're running on empty, it’s not your fault—and it’s not something you have to normalize✨

Curious what’s driving your energy drain? Let’s chat and explore the real reasons behind your fatigue.

𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬? 🥱

Low energy is often blamed on stress or sleep, but if you've explored these areas and still hitting dead ends, the ROOT issue could be a lack of cellular fuel!

Here are some key nutrient deficiencies that could be draining your energy:

🔹 Iron/Ferritin– Needed for oxygen transport. Low levels = fatigue, cold hands/feet, hair loss, brain fog, hormonal imbalances.
🔹 Vitamin B12 – Supports red blood cells + nerves. Deficiency = weakness, fatigue, mood shifts, tingling hands/feet.
🔹 Magnesium – Powers over 300 enzymatic reactions. Low magnesium = poor sleep, anxiety, muscle tension, chronic fatigue.
🔹 Vitamin D – Vital for energy, mood, immune health. Low levels are common in northern states (even Colorado despite our sunny days) and during winter months.

So why do deficiencies happen? There are several possible causes:

☑️Poor digestion or low stomach acid (can’t absorb well)
☑️Restrictive diets (vegan, low protein, low fat)
☑️Medications (antacids, metformin, birth control)
☑️Chronic stress or inflammation
☑️Gut issues (SIBO, parasites, candida, leaky gut)

You’re not just tired—your cells might be undernourished.

🧠 Replenishing the right nutrients can radically change your energy, focus, and emotional bandwidth. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝗪𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐛 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬!

If you've been feeling like you're barely keeping up with life, constantly exhausted, or like your body and brain are working against you 😵‍💫 — pause right here. Because you need to hear this:

𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐲. 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐲.

Regardless of what you've been told by Doctors, those chronic symptoms you're experiencing are not "normal" and they're definitely not "all in your head." There are real, tangible root causes behind what you’re feeling.

When we peel back the surface symptoms—bloating, brain fog, mood swings, weight gain, insomnia—we often find an interconnected story of:

🦠 𝐆𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 that have been silently draining your nutrients and your energy

🌪️ 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 driven by stress, blood sugar, or uncontrolled inflammation

😨 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦 that's kept your body stuck in survival mode

You’re not making this up. Your body is trying to communicate something, and when we start to listen and understand the signals, we can begin to shift everything.

Take Becca, for example. She came to me with a diagnosis of Lichen Planus, an inflammatory autoimmune skin condition. In addition to the skin condition being painful and making her feel self conscious, the medications she had been given were causing terrible diarrhea. She felt stuck and wanted to know what was behind her condition. We ran labs and found that food sensitivities and a chronic infection were wreaking havoc on her gut barrier and causing inflammation, which often drives skin outbreaks. We worked together for 8 months and were able to get her flare ups under control. Most importantly, we put her back in the driver's seat when it came to her health because she understood the triggers for her symptoms and how to control them.

Whether you’ve tried “everything” or you’re just now reaching the point of seeking support, know that there is a way through this. You’re invited to book a free discovery call, where we’ll explore what your symptoms and what your body might be asking for.

Eating for health can feel like a part time job, and sadly we've made processed junk foods a lot less expensive and more accesible. Add food sensitivities into the mix (like gluten or dairy) and your wallet might really take a hit with "specialty" pre made items, like gluten free bread or dairy free yogurt 😵‍💫 Luckily, you can DIY many of these things for WAY cheaper with very little time or effort required 😍

This coconut milk yogurt is more affordable (and healthier) than most store bought versions, and it's packed with probiotics for a healthy gut! Best of all, it requires only 2 ingredients plus a few simple steps.

𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

- 1 (14 ounce) can full fat coconut milk (Thai Kitchen, Native Forest, or Whole Foods 365 Organic work well)
- 2 capsules dairy free/vegan probiotic (Renew Life Ultimate Flora Extra Care 50 Billion or Jarrow Jarro-Dophilus 10 Billion work well)

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

- Empty coconut milk into a clean, dry glass bowl or mason jar. If the coconut milk has separated, use a whisk or electric mixer to combine until smooth.
- Open up the probiotic capsules and empty them into the milk. Use a wooden, silicone, or plastic spoon/ spatula to mix the probiotics in. Metal can react with the probiotics and the yogurt may not ferment properly.
- Cover the mixture with cheese cloth (or a thin/clean dish towel) and secure with a rubber band.
- Allow the yogurt to sit for a minimum of 24, maximum of 48 hours at a warm temperature (above 75 degrees). In cooler weather/climates, you can place the yogurt in the oven with the light on (oven remains off), which should help maintain the right temperature. The yogurt will get thicker and tangier closer to 48 hours, so adjust timing to your preference.
- Sample the yogurt with a wooden or plastic spoon. If it’s done to your liking, cover it with a lid and refrigerate until cold. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
