If you are peptide curious or you want to learn more specifics on peptides you already take, then this is the group for you.

I take my health very seriously and want to share what I have learned with as many people as possible.

YES, I use hormone replacement therapy.

YES, I use supplements.

YES, I use peptides and peptide cycling of various peptides.

But, you know what else?

YES - I prioritize fitness, walking, and movement 7 days/week

YES - I prioritize sleep and proper recovery

YES - I put protein first and prioritize well rounded, balanced nutrition

YES - I gave up alcohol

YES - I gave up things in my life that were no longer serving a positive purpose in my life for me or my long term growth and progress.

So, yes, a lot of people are going to talk. Make assumptions. Feel somehow I took the “easy road” out.

The truth is that the road has been long (MANY years), the journey has been a very consistent tedious grind, and that THE ONLY WAY to level up and actually accomplish goals is with REALLY hard work and making REALLY big choices, changes and sacrifices.

Are you truly willing to do everything it takes and never give up on where you want to be?

I probably will not be running anymore health and lifestyle challenges this year due to D-Licious growing, and breaking ground on my new building in 2 days 🤗, and re-locating Higgs Lifestyle, but if you would like my guidance to understand peptides and if they may (or may not) be the right fit for you, you can still join my group that currently has 152 members! Just ask and I will send you the info.

From hard work and long nights, Luke took his next step towards his goal.

Luke Flaig RN, BSN

Five years.
Same mirror.

From age 45 to 50, and proof that getting older doesn’t mean physically declining, but it can rather mean getting stronger, healthier, and more vibrant.

In the past five years (yes It took that long🤣) I have….

🫶🏻Lost 30 pounds
💪🏻 Dropped 10% body fat while maintaining muscle
🤗Improved my health blood markers
🦴 Improved my bone density (confirmed by my latest DEXA scan)

This isn’t about perfection….it’s about consistency and choosing your health every day.

My biggest “aging well” habits have been:
🥩 High protein nutrition
💪🏻 Lifting heavy weights
🏃‍♀️ Daily movement (10,000+ steps)
💤 Quality sleep
🍷 No alcohol
🧬 Hormone support & peptides

And yes, peptides have been a game changer for recovery, energy, body composition, and overall wellness.

I recently started a private Facebook group to educate women on what they are, how they work, and how to use them safely and already 146 people that have joined!

I share everything I have learned openly because I truly believe women deserve to feel strong, confident, and vibrant at every age.

If you would like more info on aging healthier, feeling better, and building a body that supports you for life, comment below and I will share.

Are you self employed?
No clue where to start with health insurance?

You hear that rates are climbing through the roof and are just confused where to begin.

Hopefully this post will help you as Gehl and I have been self employed for 10 years and had to figure all of this out on our own!

1. Health insurance- Look into Christian Ministry based insurances. Personally, we have Samaritan Ministries (Samaritan ministries dot org) and we have had no issues at all, even with a cancer diagnosis and overnight hospital stays. We have had this for 10 years.

2. Lakeland College does teeth cleaning for adults for $20. Allot 3-4 hours to get your teeth cleaned, but they do a great job.

3. MD Save dot com has saved us thousands on MRI’s and CT scans.

4. I get ALL my yearly female doctor appointments, including Pap’s, breast exams, mammograms, additional mammograms and breast ultrasounds for FREE through the IL Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (IBCCP). You need to re-apply yearly, but you will not get denied if you are self employed.

5. Cost Plus Drugs dot com has saved us a ton in prescriptions. Not that we use it often, but all doctors offices can call your script into them and they deliver right to your house! Easy peasy!

Hope this post helps you possibly take a different route rather than the traditional medical route.

Exactly 15 years ago today.
3 weeks after my divorce.
Twins were only 4. Luke was 8.

Going through a divorce when the boys were 4 and 8 felt like the ground disappeared beneath my feet.

At the time, everything felt so heavy, every decision, every emotion, every unknown about the future. I worried constantly about how it would affect them and whether I was doing enough, being enough, to hold things together.

I didn’t have all the answers, and there were many days when simply getting through felt like a victory. Lots and lots of tears.

But I kept showing up, choosing growth, stability, and love, even when the path ahead felt unclear.

Fast forward to today, and those little boys are now 19 and 23.
They are confident, kind, resilient, and truly thriving in their own lives.

Watching the adults they have become is a powerful reminder that hard seasons do not define the ending of our stories.

What feels like the end of the world right now may actually be the beginning of something stronger, healthier, and more aligned.

Healing takes time, and the road forward isn’t always straight, but it is possible to move forward.

Your kids CAN grow into incredible humans because of the strength, love, and perseverance they witness along the way.

With no family here, my dad drove across the country to stay with us a couple weeks while we got settled into our new home.

To anyone standing where I once stood, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain, please know this… there is hope, there is healing, and a brighter future than you can imagine still lies ahead.

Trust me.
