Girlfriend, it is more common than you know to wake up nauseous.

The culprit….. against popular opinion
🥁
Low stomach acid!

Start your day with a cup of organic fresh squeezed lemon water! 🍋
16 ounces
Hot or cold
Before coffee

Save this so you can come back in 2-3 weeks and tell me how it’s working 🍋

Then, have your protein rich breakfast

So many women are told their labs are “normal.”

But no one checked the marker that shows early metabolic dysfunction.

Fasting insulin.

I recently reviewed labs for a client that looked like this:

• HbA1c: 5.4
• Fasting glucose: 100

Most conventional doctors would say:
“Everything looks fine.”

But in functional medicine, we know something very different.

we test…

• Fasting insulin: 21

A healthy fasting insulin is usually under 8.
Many experts aim for 4–6 for optimal metabolic health.

An insulin of 21 means the body is working overtime just to keep blood sugar looking “normal.”

This is often when women start experiencing things like:

• stubborn weight gain
• fatigue after meals
• sugar cravings
• brain fog
• inflammation
• hormone imbalance
• stress hormones spikes

And if we ignore it long enough, it often progresses to insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes.

The good news?

This stage is very reversible when we catch it early.

With the right support — nutrition, minerals, sleep, stress regulation, and metabolic repair — the body can become insulin sensitive again.

✨ If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but you don’t feel normal, it might be time to look deeper.

You can book a free 15-minute wellness call with me at the link in my bio and we’ll talk about what your labs might actually be saying.

Your body is always communicating.
Sometimes we just have to know where to look.

Because here’s the truth…

Most women don’t crash because they’re lazy.
They crash because they’re running on stress hormones and mineral depletion.

Sunday night used to feel like
•Tight chest.
•Racing thoughts
•Already tired for a week that hadn’t started.
•Promising I’d “do better“ tomorrow.

Now it looks like.
✅Planning protein first
✅Magnesium before bed
✅Epson salt bath
✅Morning sunlight
✅Nervous system regulation before caffeine.
✅Protecting sleep like it’s an appointment!

Healing isn’t dramatic.
It’s strategic.

It’s deciding that your body doesn’t need more willpower –– it needs more support.

If you’re heading into this week, already feeling behind, inflamed, bloated, anxious, exhausted…

You don’t need to push harder.
You need a better Plan.

Monday nights are for celebrating wins. 🤍

February’s Client of the Month is Reilly Lykins — and her words say it all:

“Kristi has helped me make more progress with stomach problems I've had my whole life and my overall health in just a few months than I've ever made in the past.”

Lifelong stomach problems.

Not “a bad week.”
Not “a stressful season.”
Her whole life.

This is what happens when we stop:
• Guessing
• Cutting more foods
• Blaming stress
• Accepting “IBS” as the final answer

And start looking at:
• Inflammation patterns
• Mineral status
• Gut integrity
• Nervous system regulation
• Thyroid conversion
• Root cause — not just symptoms

Reilly didn’t need another restrictive diet.
She needed a strategy.

She needed her body supported — not silenced.

And this is why I do what I do.

If you’ve been living with bloating, stomach pain, reflux, unpredictable digestion, or fatigue that feels tied to your gut…

Please hear this:

Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal.
And just because you’ve had it for years doesn’t mean it’s permanent.

Healing is possible.
But it starts with the right lens.

Help me celebrate Reilly in the comments 🎉

And it’s not just about salt.

If you’ve been told:
“It runs in your family.”
“It’s just stress.”
“We’ll just watch it.”
“Here’s a prescription.”

But deep down you’re thinking…
Why is this happening to me in my 30s or 40s?

Let’s talk about what often gets missed👇🏻

High blood pressure can be connected to:
•Chronic nervous system dysregulation.
•Insulin resistance.
•Inflammation
Mineral imbalance (magnesium, potassium)
•Gut dysfunction.
•Poor sleep.
•Unresolved stress patterns.

Your body doesn’t randomly “break.”

It adapts

And sometimes elevated blood pressure is your body saying:
“I’ve been fighter flight for too long.”

You don’t need to panic.
You need a plan.

Inside a wellness call, we look at.

✅Your stress patterns.
✅Your labs (not just the basic ones)
✅Your metabolism
✅Your nutrient status
✅Your lifestyle rhythms.

This isn’t about throwing away medication.
This is about understanding WHY your body is under pressure in the first place.

If you’ve been ignoring that slightly elevated number…
Are you’re tired of feeling like a ticking time bomb…

Let’s talk.

Comment, “pressure” or click the link in my bio to book your wellness call

You deserve answers.
Not just prescriptions.

If you share these WILD thoughts too 😉

Let’s chat, check those and make a plan to ensure you’re not another Fatty Liver statistic.

I felt overwhelmed and thought it was a mindset problem! Maybe even willpower!

Now I know……..it was nervous system dysregulation and nutrient depletion.

If you feel this at your core, remember you are not weak! You ARE under resourced!

Healing can be practical, not dramatic, and certainly not perfect.

Save this if you’ve ever blamed yourself for being tired, snappy, and felt like you’re running on empty while the world around you keeps going full throttle.

🤍Then, book a wellness call so we can talk about how to move you from overwhelming exhaustion to strong and vibrant!
