Calocurb Clinical contains concentrated Amaraste New Zealand Hops to support appetite and craving control 🙌🏼

It stimulates the bitter receptors in the gut to release key appetite-regulating gut peptides like GLP-1, CCK, and PYY!

That’s right- it helps our body release and regulate its own peptides to help reduce hunger and cravings… and without the side effects 💃

What are your health/wellness goals for 2026?

01/02/2026

HABITS….

Why don’t fad diets and quick fixes work? ⬇️

👉because you’re not establishing healthy habits that are SUSTAINABLE

Fads and quick fixes usually entail

❌ a meal plan that’s restrictive,

❌ eating separately from your family- making multiple meals

❌ having to avoid your favorite foods and/or beverages

❌ exercise regimens that are extreme or not sustainable

How is Trim and Thrive different? ⬇️

💚 the focus is on setting small goals each week to build sustainable HABITS

💚 participants are taught how to meal plan so that they can build a plan around their family’s needs

💚 exercise goals are individual and sustainable

💚 there is no counting of calories or tracking macros, rather a method of eating that meets needs while allowing favorite foods

💚 learning how to eat intuitively again- learning how to fuel your body based on individual needs, not set calories, and learning how to combat cravings

💚weekly Zoom calls with a Registered Dietitian for education, guidance, and accountability

💃 If you’re ready to take control of your health and reach your weight loss goals through a method that you can maintain,

🎊 Happy New Year from Nutrition Wise! 🍾

While black-eyed peas have been a southern tradition for bringing good luck in the new year, they also provide a lot of health benefits.

➡️ They are a good source of protein and fiber as well as several micronutrients such as copper, thiamine, folate, magnesium, iron, and phosphorus.

➡️ They also contain polyphenols which act as antioxidants to help repair cell damage.

🫘 All of these nutrients make these beans (yes, black-eyed peas are actually part of the bean family), and excellent food to promote digestive health, heart health, and even weight loss.

Here is an easy Instant Pot recipe!👇

* 1 lb black-eyed peas (dry)
* 1/2 lb cubed ham (you can also use bacon)
* 3/4 C celery, chopped
* 1 onion, chopped
* 2 Bay leaves
* 1/2 tsp black pepper
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 3 C broth (I typically use chicken broth)
* 2 C water

It’s best if you can soak the beans about an hour before prepping, but if you don’t have time then a quick 5-10 minute rinse will do.

* Add the ham/bacon, onion and celery to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

* Add remaining ingredients, stir, and seal the lid, and set to pressure cook for 30 minutes.

* When done, allow for a 10-15 minute natural pressure release before setting the pressure valve to release.

* Enjoy!

Looking back at 2025, one of the most exciting (and scariest) things I did was expand my business by hiring my first 2 employees! 🙌🏼🎊

It’s been on my list of goals for some time, but for anyone who runs their own business, you know how daunting it feels.

I constantly questioned myself, wondering

❓do I need additional people, or can I just do it all myself?

❓how can I be an effective leader?

❓will hiring people actually help my business grow?

❓can I continually support 2 other people from a financial standpoint?

There is a growing need for a dietitian who specializes in eating disorders…. I was receiving more and more requests for these kinds of services.

I crunched some numbers and decided to go for it!

In July, 2025, I hired my first two 1099 contractors- Lindsey and Cassie 🎉💚

Lindsey Purcell, who help found and grow Nutrition Wise, specializes in Eating Disorders and Disordered eating. She has such a gift for this area of dietetics and has been working with several clients over the past 6 months.

Cassie Gorman is our Virtual Assistant and a Dietetic Intern. She has been instrumental in day to day management and you’ll start seeing more of her on our social media and managing private Facebook groups.

Like every other entrepreneur, I’m now asking myself

“How did I ever survive without them?”
🤷‍♀️
(And all of my business coaches are saying “I told you so” 😂)

So this year, I had the pleasure of giving employee gifts…. Something I’ve only ever dreamed about 🥰

For me, 2025 has been a year of growth, both personally and professionally, and I feel so incredibly blessed 🙏🏼

I couldn’t have done it without all of the amazing people in my life and my faith in God.

🥂 Cheers to the close of an amazing year, and welcoming continued growth in my life and business in 2026 🎉

Merry Christmas from your family at Nutrition Wise! 🎄☃️

We hope your day was filled with lifelong memories, safe travels, and endless holiday joy 💚❤️

12/22/2025

Thank you, 979 XFM and KJ Country 102.3 FM for having me on to share tips for staying healthy during the holidays! 🎄💪🍎

12/17/2025

The holidays are meant to be joyful—but for many of us, they come with extra stress 😵‍💫

And that stress doesn’t just live in your head… it shows up in your body, especially your gut.

When stress is high, your body releases cortisol and adrenaline.

Over time, this can:

➡️ Slow digestion or speed it up (hello bloating, constipation, or diarrhea)

➡️ Increase gut inflammation and irritation

➡️ Worsen reflux, IBS symptoms, and food sensitivities

➡️ Disrupt the gut microbiome (the “good bacteria” that support immunity and mood)

➡️ Increase cravings for sugar and highly processed foods

Because your gut and brain are directly connected (the gut–brain axis) 🧠

chronic stress can create a cycle: stress upsets digestion → digestion issues increase stress.

The good news?

Small, realistic habits can make a big difference—especially during the holidays

✨ Ways to support stress levels & gut health this season:

✅ Eat regular meals (this helps stabilize blood sugar and cortisol)

✅ Prioritize protein and fiber to keep energy and digestion steady

✅ Slow down when you eat—deep breaths before meals can actually improve digestion

✅ Get outside or move your body daily, even if it’s just a 10-minute walk

✅ Support sleep by keeping caffeine earlier in the day and maintaining a bedtime routine

✅ Practice nervous system calming: deep breathing, prayer, stretching, or journaling

✅ Give yourself permission to say no and protect your time

The goal isn’t “perfect” eating or zero stress—it’s supporting your body so it can handle the season better.

🙏🏼 Your gut, hormones, and immune system will thank you.

Take care of yourself this holiday season—you deserve it ❤️💚❤️💚
