Boots on the ground today at

Using our voices to amplify 📣 the message that all Americans deserve safe food. 👏

Our country allows over 10,000 chemicals (most are never tested for human safety) into our food supply, while the EU and countries like Canada and Australia only allow 400. 🤬

Kellogg’s puts artificial dyes and preservatives like BHT in their products despite knowing their adverse health effects like learning disabilities, ADHD, and cancer.

Kellogg’s promised to remove them by 2018 but still hasn’t.

They make the same products for other countries with natural food coloring (fruit and veggie juice) and no harmful preservatives. 🤬

Why can’t we have the same? 🤨 They’re putting PROFIT OVER OUR HEALTH.

While Kellogg’s considers the over 400,000 petitions 📝 we turned in today to remove artificial dyes and BHT, we can all vote with our dollars by supporting SMALL BUSINESSES who are ALREADY doing the right thing. 👏

PS. Thank you and all of the amazing speakers today for leading the way. 🙌

I busted my hump 🍑 for this piece of paper. 🤪

Earlier this year, I enrolled in a certification program to become an Integrative Health Practitioner.

This will allow me to expand my services to incorporate functional lab testing and supplement protocols into my health coaching practice. 📉💊🥗

I finished Level 1 today and am on track to finish Level 2 (the entire certification) by December.

What this means for my clients? No more guessing at your symptoms! 👏 I have the tools to help you get the root cause of why you’re bloated, gassy, inflamed, fatigued, foggy, stiff, having hormonal symptoms, and more.

While I’m in the process of completing my training, I have a seasoned mentor I’m working alongside to help read lab results and formulate wellness protocols for my clients. ✏️

Working with her has been AMAZING. 🤩

I was nervous to take on this certification but once I started, I never looked back. 🙏🏼✨

I haven’t shared this publicly yet, but I’ve been up to something exciting!

Earlier this year, I enrolled in an educational program to become an Integrative Health Practitioner.

This will allow me to ✨ expand my health coaching services ✨ to include functional lab testing, therapeutic nutrition plans, and supplement protocols.

Common symptoms I see among my clients include brain fog, stiffness, joint pain, low energy, fatigue, irregular cycles, low mood, dermatitis, and more.

While these symptoms are common, they are not normal. ❌ Many of my clients feel brushed off by their health providers. 😥

I want to bring functional lab testing to my practice so I can help clients “look under the hood” to identify the imbalances causing their symptoms. 📋

With the lab results’ objectivity, we can correct the imbalances through nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle medicine. 👏

Ultimately, I want to empower women to take charge of their health and reclaim their vitality. ❤️

My tentative graduation date is December 2024.

If you’d like to be in the loop on the health concerns and tests I will be trained in, hop on my email list via the link below. 💌 I’d love to connect with you there!

Walking is like free medicine. 💊

I always include movement as part of my wellness protocols for clients.

Exercise boosts mood, helps balance the immune system, and improves nutrient uptake, energy, sleep, and cellular aging.

While there is no one “best” form of exercise for everyone, I do think EVERYONE can benefit from 10,000 steps per day.

From there, the amount, frequency, and kind of additional exercise you do should be based on your health, total stress load, wellness goals, and desired body composition. ✌️
