Ginger truly is a nutritional powerhouse!

It wakes the body up without rushing it, warms you from the inside out, and somehow manages to steady the mind at the same time. 👏

I’ve been adding ginger everywhere lately – a few slices steeped in hot water, grated into meals, even in bath water when my muscles feel tired.

That's because it can...

👉 Support digestion
👉 Balance blood sugar
👉 Promote heart health & circulation
👉 Boost immunity (especially important as we enter cold season)

So, make sure you add ginger to your grocery list this week and let me know how you're using it! 💬

Here's a quick overview of what I do to keep myself + my girls healthy during cold/flu season!

Additionally, I always make sure to prioritize sleep, a whole foods diet, ample hydration (with electrolytes), and regular movement.

I also like to get an Immune Boost IV drip at whenever I feel myself coming down with something!

What are some of your go-to immunity boosting hacks? I'd love to hear!

Food truly is medicine!

Here's what's been in my cart all cold + flu season...

* citrus fruits – rich in vitamin c to strengthen immune defenses
* spinach – packed with vitamin c, beta carotene + antioxidants
* red bell peppers – more vitamin c than citrus, plus antioxidants
* almonds – high in vitamin e, a powerful antioxidant for immune health
* garlic – contains allicin, known for its antimicrobial properties
* ginger – helps fight inflammation and boosts immunity
* mushrooms – contain beta-glucans to support immune function
* olive oil – contains polyphenols, which reduce inflammation/boost immunity
* cayenne – supports circulation, metabolism, and reduces inflammation
* blueberries – a fantastic source of antioxidants
* apples – rich in quercetin, which naturally supports the immune system

Don't sacrifice your ingredient standards just because sugary, processed candies are so normalized! 🍬🎃

Most of the popular Halloween candies are loaded with artificial dyes, high fructose corn syrup, and other ingredients that can mess with your gut, focus, and energy levels.

But here's why I love these swaps for my trick-or-treating bucket:

1️⃣ Unreal candies – Made with simple, non-GMO ingredients and no artificial flavors or dyes. They taste just like the classics, minus the junk.

2️⃣ Hu Kitchen dark chocolate – Lower in sugar + packed with antioxidants. Look for 70% cacao or higher.

3️⃣ YumEarth candies – Organic, allergy-friendly sweets that skip artificial colors and high fructose corn syrup.

4️⃣ LesserEvil Snacks popcorn – Popped in organic coconut oil and lightly seasoned with clean ingredients. A tasty, low-sugar snack to balance out the sweets.

Being selective doesn't mean you're missing out — it just means you're choosing better. 🍫

It feels like every brand is taking a stab at pumpkin-flavored treats this fall... 🎃

But with so many to choose from, how do you know which ones aren't going to hurt your gut?

Swapping conventional brands for clean(er) alternatives is a great way to...

➡️ Support your gut health – Artificial additives + preservatives can disrupt your gut microbiome.

➡️ Reduce inflammation – Processed sugars + seed oils are linked to chronic inflammation.

➡️ Improve sleep – Artificial sweeteners spike your blood sugar + can mess with your rest.

➡️ Boost focus + energy – Clean ingredients help avoid the blood sugar crashes that come with overly processed treats.

➡️ Protect mental clarity + mood – What you eat directly affects your brain chemistry.

➡️ Support long-term wellness – Clean swaps add up over time to support your hormones, immune system + metabolism.

Thankfully, we don't have to sacrifice these goals if we choose the right products!

Some brands that I love + trust are:

✔️ Purely Elizabeth
✔️ MALK Organics
✔️ Forager Project
✔️ Simple Mills
✔️ SevenSundays

(Just to name a few!)

It's estimated that 70% of homes contain mold and 28% of people have mold allergies.

And while I hate to be the bearer of bad news, here are some of the places it might be hiding. ⏩

If you're experiencing unexplained symptoms, schedule an appointment with myself or the functional medicine team .

Don’t let the cool(er) temperatures fool you – we need to prioritize hydration during fall sports season!

Here's what I offer my girls:

👉 Just Ingredients electrolytes – Made with real minerals, no dyes or artificial sweeteners. And they have over 10 flavors to choose from (all of which are kid-approved).

👉 Organic coconut water – A natural source of potassium + electrolytes to replenish after activity.

👉 Infused water – Cucumbers or fruits add some flavor, often making it easier to drink in larger amounts! Plus, it adds some vitamins + antioxidants.

There's no reason to be stocking up on sugary drinks when these options are so much better for us – and significantly more refreshing!

My fool-proof way for a deep, dreamy sleep? A sleepytime mocktail.

Here’s why it works: ⬇️

🍒 Tart cherry juice – Naturally contains melatonin + antioxidants to help regulate your sleep-wake cycle.

🧂 Magnesium powder – Calms the nervous system, relaxes muscles + supports deep, restful sleep.

🍋 Lemon juice – A little vitamin C boost + digestion support as your body winds down.

💧 Filtered water – Keeps you hydrated without overloading the system before bed.

Plus, there aren't any blood sugar spikes or weird additives. ❌

Will you be trying out this mocktail this week? Let me know in the comments!

Did you know that colostrum supplements can be a form of prevention for the flu and other viral illnesses?

I recommend half doses (2 capsules of IGG Protect or 1/2 scoop of SBI Protect) for adults or quarter doses (1 capsule or 1/4 scoop) for pediatric patients 12 and under.

In addition, colostrum is great for...
* supporting gut health
* aiding in muscle recovery
* boosting health at a cellular level .. and more!

You can pick up colostrum supplements at R+R or the Homestead – ask our front desk if you'd like help!
