This is not good. First glyphosate, now this!?

For the first time in history, the EPA just proposed to weaken our strongest federal drinking water protections against toxic "forever chemicals.”

The agency has proposed rolling back enforceable limits on four toxic “forever chemicals,” known as PFAS compounds, in drinking water. PFAS are linked to cancer, weakened immune systems, harm to babies during pregnancy and other developmental risks, even at very low levels.

It is also proposing to eliminate a key safeguard designed to address PFAS mixtures and to delay compliance deadlines until 2031, giving polluters two more years to avoid accountability.

These protections were finalized in 2024 after decades of advocacy. Now they could be dismantled.

176 million Americans have already been drinking PFAS-contaminated water for decades. This would make it worse.

PFAS are called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment and build up in your body.

Here's what you can do:
🚰 Filter your tap water. Reverse osmosis and activated carbon are the most effective for removing PFAS.
🔍 Check EWG's Tap Water Database. Enter your zip code to learn what contaminants have been detected in your local water supply.
📢 Contact your elected representatives. Demand that Congress investigate the legality of the EPA’s rollback and act to restore enforceable PFAS limits in federal law.

🚨 BIG NEWS, HAPPY BELLY FOODIES… 🚨

WE HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

Belly Love treats are officially popping up in ✨ THREE ✨ locations in the Chippewa Valley!! 🤍😭

You can now grab our premium wellness treats at:

📍 Josephine’s Pastaria
📍 Family Tree Nutritional Health & Wellness
📍 Statera Health of Eau Claire

At Belly Love, our treats are inspired by a more Paleo-style approach to eating — focusing on real, whole-food ingredients like nuts, seeds, coconut, naturally low glycemic sweeteners, quality fats, and clean proteins instead of heavily processed grains and additives. 🌿

Why does this matter? Because for many people working on gut healing, inflammation, autoimmunity, skin issues, fatigue, bloating, or blood sugar balance… grains can still be inflammatory, even when they’re technically “gluten free.”

Many gluten-sensitive individuals can also experience cross-reactivity to other grains, meaning the immune system may respond similarly to proteins found in corn, oats, rice, or other grain products.

Additionally there can be traces of pesticides, especially glyphosate, and mycotoxins from moisture and storage.

That’s why our treats are:✔️ Grain Free✔️ Gluten Free✔️ Dairy Free✔️ Soy Free✔️ Seed Oil Free✔️ Refined Sugar Free!

Made with premium, intentional ingredients designed to nourish while still tasting absolutely AMAZING. 🙌✨

Current favorites hitting shelves:
🍪 Dark Chocolate Chip + Coconut + Sea Salt Cookies🍫 Pomegranate + Date Twix Bars

This small business dream keeps growing because of YOU. Thank you for supporting local wellness-centered food and believing healing foods don’t have to be boring. 🥹🤍

Healing was never meant to come from hating yourself into a smaller version of you. 🤍

Choose nourishment over punishment.
Abundance over restriction.
Compassion over shame.

No matter what you’re struggling with.
No matter how long it’s been.
No matter how difficult the road has felt.

Your body is not broken. It’s communicating.

I truly believe there is a healthier, more vibrant version of you waiting on the other side of healing — and it doesn’t require shrinking your personality, your dreams, your body, or your beautiful light to get there.

Heal from the inside out.
You are worthy of taking up space. ✨

I am incredibly humbled, and beyond grateful 🥹

For this opportunity to continue to grow and expand the mission of !

So many great 👍 things to come! And you know what the best part is?

Other people believe in this mission too! That is what honestly took my breath away last night.

🤍The mission to bring nourishing food to the Chippewa Valley.
🤍The mission to bring our bodies back to balance using food as medicine.
🤍The mission to not be afraid and to be BRAVE when making radical shifts in our health journey.

When I started Belly Love just under 3 years ago I never dreamed what this business could & would grow into and stand for.

You don’t have to miss out on life. You don’t have to miss out on pleasure. Or community…when healing ❤️‍🩹 from a chronic illness or inflammatory disease.

We can stand TOGETHER, side by side, to enjoy indulging in delicious, nourishing, satisfying food that honors the earth, its plants and animals, the farmers, producers, and our BELLIES & bodies, all at the same time.

As it should be. As it once was. And as it will be again.

By integrating functional nutrition, allergen friendly cooking classes, inclusive events, and strong local business partnerships we are building something very special together.

Thank you to my husband for supporting me and always being there, and thank you to Jordan from and the for believing in this mission. 🙏🏻

I couldn’t be more deeply touched by your generosity. I will take this grant money and expand my cooking class offerings, equipment we use, continue to help make classes more accessible and affordable, and support outreach into the community of the Chippewa Valley and beyond.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💟

Balancing your blood sugar isn’t about perfection… and it definitely doesn’t mean you can never enjoy restaurants, date nights, or girls nights out 🤍

It’s about building meals with the right foundations:
✨ Protein
✨ Healthy fats
✨ Fiber

This trio helps slow down blood sugar spikes, keeps you fuller longer, supports steady energy, and can have a HUGE impact on hormone health.

Because let’s be real…
When we show up absolutely starving after a stressful day, it’s SO much easier to:
🩸 Overeat
🩸 Crave quick carbs + sugar
🩸 Feel exhausted after eating
🩸 Experience energy crashes, cravings, and mood swings later

Instead, when I go out to eat, I try to:
🍗 Prioritize protein first
🥑 Add healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, or quality cheese
🥦 Get fiber from veggies, salads, legumes, berries, or root vegetables
🥔 Choose more nourishing carb sources when possible
🥤 Skip sugary drinks most of the time
🚶‍♀️ Move my body a little after meals

Balancing blood sugar can support:
🤍 Cortisol + stress response
🤍 Hormone balance
🤍 Energy
🤍 Cravings
🤍 PMS symptoms
🤍 Metabolism
🤍 Inflammation

This isn’t about restriction.
It’s about helping your body feel safe, nourished, and supported… even while enjoying life ✨

Belly Love 🤍

What if your inflammation… isn’t just “inflammation”? 👀

It could be coming from bacterial endotoxins—specifically lipopolysaccharides (LPS)—that leak from the gut into the bloodstream when your barrier is compromised.

This can look like:
✨ brain fog
✨ joint pain
✨ fatigue
✨ digestive issues
✨ cycle issues, hormonal imbalances
✨ stubborn, chronic inflammation

But here’s the shift 👇
It’s not about “killing bacteria”…

It’s about:
✔️ sealing the gut
✔️ binding + removing toxins
✔️ calming the immune response
✔️ supporting drainage pathways

⸻

🥦 FOODS THAT HELP

✨ Polyphenol-rich (neutralize LPS)
Blueberries, pomegranate, matcha, olive oil, dark chocolate

✨ Gut-lining repair
Bone broth, collagen, slow-cooked meats, egg yolks, wild fish

✨ Soluble fiber (bind + remove)
Chia, flax, apples (pectin), carrots, psyllium

✨ Bitter + liver support
Arugula, dandelion greens, lemon water, beets

✨ Reduce the load
Ultra-processed foods, sugar, alcohol, seed oils

⸻

💊 TARGETED SUPPORT

✔️ Gut repair: glutamine, zinc carnosine, collagen
✔️ Binders: charcoal, bentonite clay, citrus pectin
✔️ Calm inflammation: curcumin, quercetin, omega-3s
✔️ Microbiome balance: spore-based probiotics (bioindividual!)
✔️ Drainage: NAC, milk thistle, dandelion, taurine

⸻

⚠️ The part most people miss…

Endotoxins become a problem when:
→ the gut is leaky
→ detox pathways are sluggish
→ the microbiome is off

So instead of forcing “kill protocols”…
we support the terrain 🫶

⸻

Your body isn’t broken.
It’s adapting.

When we support it the right way—
✨ things start to shift ✨

🌈 Eat the Rainbow… but make it functional 🌈

We’ve all heard it before—but this isn’t just about pretty plates.
This is about feeding your body the full spectrum of nutrients it needs to thrive.

Every color in your food = a different set of vitamins, minerals, and powerful phytonutrients that support your gut, hormones, detox pathways, and immune system.

✨ Here’s the breakdown:

❤️ Red (beets, strawberries, grass-fed beef)
→ Supports heart health, blood building, and circulation

🧡 Orange (carrots, squash, egg yolks)
→ Rich in beta-carotene for skin, eyes, and immune resilience

💛 Yellow (pineapple, peppers, pasture-raised butter)
→ Digestive enzymes + antioxidant support

💚 Green (leafy greens, herbs, broccoli)
→ Detox pathways, liver support, magnesium, folate

💙💜 Blue/Purple (blueberries, cabbage, plums)
→ Brain health, anti-inflammatory, cellular protection

🤍 White (garlic, onions, mushrooms)
→ Immune boosting, antimicrobial, gut support

🤎 Don’t forget the “non-plant rainbow”
→ Wild-caught fish, organ meats, bone broth = bioavailable minerals, amino acids, B vitamins, collagen

This is your reminder:
👉 It’s not about counting calories
👉 It’s about counting nutrients + plant points

Aim for diversity. Aim for color. Aim for nourishment.

Your body doesn’t just want food…
It wants information. 💫
