Pursuing Simple

🩺 I’m really excited about this one! I just signed up with Function Health to get a full panel of bloodwork done — and they’re offering a discounted price through October 9th.

For $365 (normally $499) you get over 100 lab tests (no insurance or hidden costs), plus follow-up testing later in the year to see how things are changing. They even provide a clinician summary to help make sense of your results — which is huge if you like understanding what’s really going on in your body.

I haven’t gotten my results yet, but I’m really impressed with how comprehensive it is — they test everything from hormones and thyroid to heart, liver, and nutrient levels. It’s the kind of data that can really help you take control of your health.

If you’ve been thinking about getting more thorough lab work done, this is such a great opportunity. You can learn more here: https://www.functionhealth.com/c/function-day

Enjoying the beautiful rain, a cup of coffee and some harvest spice in my diffuser. You can use this blend all by itself but today I chose to add lemon and wild orange (Fall Breeze in the graphic). Soooo good! 🍂🍁

I've been wanting to share some thoughts about ozempic for awhile. I understand why people are using it, but it is not without serious risk, and there is much we do not know about its long-term use.
In a recent video, Dr. Mark Hyman shares his concerns about the long-term use of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, commonly used for weight loss and diabetes management.

If you’re looking to feel better, have more energy, and support your body long-term—but aren’t sure where to start—foundational health is a great first step.

It’s all about giving your body the basics it needs every day: nutrients, healthy fats, and gut support. When those foundations are strong, everything else in your body works better—your immune system, your mood, your energy, even your sleep.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝟯 𝗱𝗼𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗔 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗜 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆:
✅ VMG+ for vitamins and minerals
✅ EO Mega for omega-3s and healthy fats
✅ PB Restore for gut health

These have become a simple, consistent part of my routine—and a great way to build a strong foundation for overall health.

Living healthier doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start with the basics. 💛

Good advice from Mark Hyman, MD. Healthy choices matter and a holiday isn't an excuse to make poor choices.

150 million hot dogs will be eaten today.

To put it into perspective, that’s enough hot dogs to stretch from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles more than five times.

A cocktail of mechanically separated poultry, corn syrup, sodium nitrite, and artificial flavor; ultra-processed ingredients linked to inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and increased cancer risk.

Add in a few sodas, chips fried in seed oils, a side of macaroni salad, and you’re looking at 4,400 calories in a single afternoon, most of it stripped of nutrients, hijacking your blood sugar, and feeding the conditions that plague this country.

You can still grill, just upgrade what’s on your plate. Opt for a grass-fed burger wrapped in lettuce, grill up some colorful veggies, and swap the soda for sparkling water with lime or fresh berries.
You can still gather.
You can still laugh, love, and make memories.

There’s nothing “free” about eating food that hijacks your brain chemistry.

Choose freedom from cravings, blood sugar crashes, and chronic disease. That’s the kind of liberty worth fighting for.
