☕ Here’s a healthier PSL recipe 😋

It just feels good to have a warm mug in your hands…

But the usual suspects this time of year are usually loaded up with sugar, syrups, and ingredients that leave your blood sugar on a roller coaster…

Yes, I’m looking at you, drive-thru Pumpkin Spice Latte, aka “PSL.” 👀

You’re in for a treat today, because I’ve got a new recipe that’s just as delicious (and without the dairy), has just enough spice, and that will actually support your body and goals.

It’s also a great recipe to help nourish your adrenals and give your nervous system a breather. 🧘‍♀️

Golden Hour Pumpkin Latte(Serves 1)
-¾ cup (180 ml) unsweetened almond or coconut milk
-¼ cup (60 ml) brewed coffee or espresso
-2 tbsp pumpkin purée (canned)
-½ tsp cinnamon¼ tsp ground ginger
-¼ tsp turmeric (optional for extra anti-inflammatory boost)
-1 tsp maple syrup or raw honey (or to taste)
-1 tsp MCT oil or coconut oil (optional)
-Pinch of sea salt
-Protein Supplement Superboost: Collagen peptides or Paleo protein powder *These are the highest quality products available- DM for more info.

Warm the milk, pumpkin, and spices in a small saucepan over medium heat. Don’t let it boil.

Once warm, pour into a blender with coffee, oil, sweetener, and any optional add-ins. Carefully blend until creamy and frothy (about 20–30 seconds).
Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy!

Want a caffeine-free version? Swap the coffee for dandelion or chicory root tea.

🔥 HRT + GLP-1: Proven Synergy for Women’s Metabolic Health 🔥

I’ve been seeing this exact trend with my clients — and the research backs it up.

A 2024 study published in the Journal of the Menopause Society compared postmenopausal women using semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) with and without hormone therapy (HRT).

The results?
➡️ Women who combined a GLP-1 and hormone therapy achieved:
• Greater fat loss while preserving muscle
• Improved blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure
• Better overall energy and mood

Why this combo works:
💪 GLP-1s improve insulin sensitivity and appetite regulation.
💫 HRT restores hormonal balance — especially estrogen and testosterone — which create the metabolic environment for GLP-1s to work even better.

This isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about stacking smart tools to work with your biology, not against it.

If you’re navigating perimenopause or menopause and want to optimize fat loss, muscle, and energy — the right strategy changes everything.

🌿 Word of the Week: PAUSE 🌿

We live in a world that glorifies hustle, speed, and constant motion.
But sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is pause.

Pause before reacting.
Pause before judging.
Pause to breathe.
Pause to think.
Pause to feel.

In the pause, you find clarity.
You reconnect with what truly matters — your health, your relationships, your purpose.

This week, I encourage you to take moments throughout your day to pause.
Whether it’s before you eat, before you speak, or before you scroll — take a breath and choose presence over autopilot.

✨ Pause. Reset. Refocus.
Your mind and body will thank you.

🧠 Challenge:

Good: Take 3 mindful pauses during your day — just breathe.

Better: Step outside for 5 minutes, no phone, and notice your surroundings.

Best: Journal or meditate for 10 minutes each day to create intentional space.

📣 Costco Now Selling Ozempic? Here’s What You Should Know.

Yes — Costco is now offering prescriptions for Ozempic and Wegovy at around $499/month.

But before you rush to sign up, here’s what most people don’t realize ⬇️

💊 You’re limited to Ozempic & Wegovy — both are older GLP-1 medications with higher rates of nausea, vomiting, and lawsuits.
⚖️ No personalization — dosing is standardized, not customized to your tolerance or results.
💸 Still expensive — $499/month is far from a deal, especially for a medication with known side effects.

Compare that to a personalized GLP-1 coaching experience through my telehealth partner:
✅ Access to Tirzepatide, shown to deliver greater fat loss with fewer side effects
✅ Individualized dosing and ongoing lifestyle + nutrition coaching
✅ Better pricing and medical oversight for safety & results

Because the truth is — even the best medication won’t replace what your body needs most: balanced nutrition, strength training, quality sleep, and accountability.

⚠️ Cheap Peptides Come at a High Cost

My wife just heard a radio ad promoting “research use only” peptides — and it blew my mind.
These products literally say “Not for human consumption.” Yet people are injecting them.

Sure, you’ll save some money — but at what risk?

This isn’t a knockoff shirt or handbag.
👉 It’s your body. It’s your health. It’s your life.

Even the highest-quality medication will only take you so far.
The real foundation for health, fitness, and longevity starts here — with the 7 Daily Primal Needs:
1. Breathe – Calm your nervous system and energize your body.
2. Hydrate – Stay consistent and support cellular function.
3. Sleep – Your body heals when you rest.
4. Eat – Fuel with real, whole foods.
5. Love / Connect / Contribute – Relationships drive longevity.
6. Grow – Challenge your mind and evolve.
7. Move – Train for strength, mobility, and function.

💉 If you’re considering peptides, get them through a licensed medical provider — not an online ad.

Your body deserves more than “research-grade.”

Maya’s debut at District Church today was great! I have been meaning to get more involved in the church and figured if Maya is serving we should also. Chris, Miles and I also served in the cafe and it was a blast. I am on my way to becoming a barista 🙂

🚨 Long-awaited change may finally be here 🚨

For more than 20 years, women have been held back by a black box warning on hormone therapy that no longer reflects the best and most current science.

It looks like updates to that warning are coming soon, a long-overdue step toward doing what’s right for women.

As Dr. JoAnn Manson explained: “Women are being tremendously undertreated and are suffering unnecessarily due to a boxed warning that is just class labeling. All hormone therapy products get exactly the same boxed warning, and it is really harming women.”

The evidence is clear: when started at the right time and for the right patient, hormone therapy is safe, effective, and life-changing.

This movement has been powered by brave scientists and physicians who’ve continued to testify, publish, and advocate so that women get care that reflects today’s evidence — not outdated fear.

Thank you for covering this critical update for women’s health. 🙌

This isn’t just about a label. It’s about finally giving women the access and confidence they deserve. 💪✨
