🌿 Why I Start My Day With an 12 oz Green Juice 💚

This morning I made a big 32 oz batch of organic green juice in my Nama juicer — enough for my whole family! I only drink about 12 oz myself, and it’s the perfect way to start the day clean, hydrated, and energized.

Today’s juice included kale, spinach, romaine, celery, cucumber, ginger, lemon, and green apple — all organic and freshly pressed.

Here’s why even 12 ounces of this powerhouse blend can make a huge difference:

✨ Hydration + electrolytes
Celery, cucumber, and romaine help replenish natural minerals first thing in the morning, giving your cells a refreshing wake-up call.

✨ Gentle digestion support
Ginger + lemon help calm the stomach, reduce bloating, and stimulate healthy digestion (especially helpful if you deal with sluggish digestion or no gallbladder).

✨ Daily detox support
Green leafy veggies are loaded with chlorophyll to support the liver and natural detox pathways — no harsh cleanses needed.

✨ Anti-inflammatory nutrients
Just a small serving delivers antioxidants that help lower inflammation and boost energy naturally.

✨ Glowing skin + lymphatic support
Hydration + minerals + antioxidants = brighter skin and better lymph flow (a big help for anyone with lipedema or fluid retention).

✨ Nutrient absorption
Without fiber slowing things down, these nutrients absorb quickly and help set the tone for a cleaner, more energized day.

Even 12 oz a day adds up when you’re consistent. 🌿
If you’re ready to build simple, sustainable morning habits that actually support your hormones, metabolism, and energy — especially before the holiday season — send me a message. You don’t have to wait until January to start feeling better. 💚

🌟 Mindset Monday 🌟
As we move closer to the holiday season, stress levels tend to rise, routines slip, and it becomes easy to put your own health on hold. But small, consistent choices now can completely change how you feel going into the busiest time of the year.

This week, take a moment to pause, breathe, and set one simple intention that supports your health, mindset, or stress levels.

What is ONE thing you’re committing to this week to stay grounded and healthy as the holidays approach?
It might be:
• Drinking more water
• Adding a veggie to each meal
• A short daily walk
• Protecting your sleep
• Practicing 2 minutes of deep breathing

Share your intention in the comments ⬇️
You never know who you’ll inspire. 💛

And if you’re feeling overwhelmed or want extra support navigating the holidays, you don’t have to wait until January. This is actually one of the best times to get guidance, structure, and accountability. If you’re ready to feel better now, send me a message or book a free 15-minute discovery call on my website. I’m here to help you finish the year strong. 🌿✨

Maybe you’ve been dealing with gut issues, stubborn weight, hormone changes, perimenopause or low testosterone, or simply the frustration of feeling “off” no matter what you try. Maybe you’ve noticed that the energy and mobility you once had isn’t the same, and you’re worried about aging...

Interesting findings!

Cutting out carbs entirely may strain your thyroid and slow metabolism. Research suggests balance is better for long-term health.

🚨 BOMBSHELL RULING: Court Forces USDA to End GMO Labeling Loopholes

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has ruled that the USDA must update its bioengineered food disclosure standards, closing key exemptions that allowed many genetically modified ingredients to go unlabeled.

In a unanimous decision issued November 7, 2025, a three-judge panel found that the USDA’s 2018 regulations—particularly the exemption for highly refined products where modified DNA is undetectable—violate the 2016 National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard.

Judge Daniel Collins, writing for the court, stated that Congress intended broader disclosure, regardless of detectability.

The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed by the Center for Food Safety and Citizens for GMO Labeling, challenging provisions that excluded ultra-processed items like corn oil, high-fructose corn syrup, and soy-based ingredients.

The court also invalidated the USDA’s allowance of QR codes and digital links as the sole disclosure method, mandating clearer, on-package text.

“This decision reaffirms the public’s right to know what’s in their food,” said George Kimbrell, Legal Director at the Center for Food Safety. “The vast majority of genetically engineered crops are designed to withstand heavy pesticide use—consumers deserve transparency at the point of purchase.”

The case now returns to the district court with instructions to remand the rules to the USDA for revision consistent with the statute.

This ruling marks a significant step toward uniform, accessible GMO labeling nationwide.

🎃 3 Tips for a Healthier Halloween! 🍬

Halloween doesn’t have to be a sugar overload! You can still enjoy the fun (and a few treats!) without the crash or guilt. Here’s how 👇

1️⃣ Balance is key. Enjoy your treats, but pair them with nourishing meals and protein-rich snacks to steady your blood sugar.
2️⃣ Find cleaner swaps. Look for options made with natural ingredients and less sugar — there are so many better-for-you brands now! 🍫
3️⃣ Think beyond candy. Fun doesn’t have to revolve around sweets — try stickers, glow sticks, small toys, or festive non-food goodies! 👻

✨ Remember — it’s about progress, not perfection. One night won’t derail your goals, but mindful choices can help you feel your best through the holiday season. 💚

What’s your favorite healthier Halloween treat? 🎃👇

🌿 Why Seasonal Eating Matters! 🌿

When you eat foods that are in season, you’re fueling your body with what nature designed for that time of year. 🍎🥕

✨ Benefits of Seasonal Eating:
🌱 Fresher flavor & higher nutrient density
🥦 Adds variety to your meals
🌻 Supports gut & immune health
💚 Easier to digest & budget-friendly

Seasonal produce is picked at peak ripeness — meaning it’s packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and natural enzymes your body can easily use. It also keeps your meals exciting and helps support local farmers. 🙌

Next time you shop, fill your cart with what’s in season — your body (and taste buds) will thank you!

🍊 What’s your favorite seasonal food right now?
