✨ “𝗪𝐡𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞?” ✨

If you’ve asked yourself this (especially when you know 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 to do, you just can’t seem to 𝘥𝘰 it) you’re not alone. And you’re not broken.

For high-achieving women with ADHD, anxiety, or chronic overwhelm, follow-through isn’t a matter of willpower, laziness, or lack of discipline. It’s a matter of neurobiology and 𝘤𝘰𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘥.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞:

✔️ You know the routine, but you can’t get started.
✔️ You start strong, then lose steam and blame yourself.
✔️ You bounce between extremes- all in, then completely off.
✔️ You feel overwhelmed just thinking about what you “should” be doing.

In my work as a brain-based nutritionist, I help women stop the cycle of shame and start creating routines that actually work with their brain, not against it.

💡 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡:

✔️ You’re not inconsistent, your nervous system is dysregulated
✔️ You’re not lazy, you’re overloaded
✔️ You’re not failing, you just haven’t had the right support or roadmap

Want to explore a brain-based approach to health that honors your unique “wiring” AND your wellness goals?

𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫? What if you're just stuck in a cycle of stress and overwhelm that makes building new habits feel like climbing Mt Everest? 😳

When your nervous system is dysregulated, everything feels harder:

🍽 Eating well
🧠 Focusing
💊 Remembering to take supplements
😴 Falling asleep

Many of my clients come to me feeling like they know what they 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 be doing, but they can’t get themselves to do it consistently. And they’re tired of the self-blame spiral.

What they need isn’t more advice. It’s a roadmap that works with their brain, not against it.

This is what I specialize in: optimizing brain + mental health for women who are tired of bandaids and burnout. We use targeted lab tests, lifestyle changes, and individualized nutrition programs to reset your body and brain. And we do it in a sustainable way, making sure you have foundational habits in place so you're not burning through protocol after protocol hoping the next one "fixes" you.

If you're struggling with brain fog, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, and feeling burned out trying to fix things on your own, let's chat ❤️

𝗪𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦?

Start with these daily habits I teach all my clients:

✨ 𝐄𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭. Aim for 30 grams to balance blood sugar + reduce cravings later in the day.
✨ 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫. Your body often confuses thirst with hunger. Add electrolytes to help you absorb the water into cells and tissues!
✨ 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫. It keeps you full longer + supports your gut (which supports your metabolism). All plant based foods contain fiber, focus on getting more of your fiber from vegetables (they pack extra nutritional benefits)
✨ 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲. This doesn’t have to be intense exercise. Walking, stretching, playing with your kids - it all counts.

These small habits make a HUGE difference when life gets busy. They also support your gut brain connection and mental health, which many people struggle with over the holidays 💗

How many times have you said…

“𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲.”
“𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲.”
“𝐈’𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 ____.”

Here’s the truth:

You don’t need the “perfect” time — you need 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲.

Quick fixes don’t work because they don’t teach you to build habits. And without habits, the results never stick.

𝐀𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬:

✅Small, daily actions are what keep your health on track (not some big New Year's resolution)
✅ It takes anywhere from 21 to 66 days to cement a habit. So be patient with yourself and focus on simply being consistent.
✅If it's no sustainable, it won't stick

Start small. Start imperfectly. Just start. Your future self will thank you 💗

🍩 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 ❤️

💊 𝐅𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐳𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐜, 𝗪𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐲, 𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐣𝐚𝐫𝐨?

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

𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘢𝘺?

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

Healing your energy doesn’t require doing more. 𝘐𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.

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 💞
