I recently presented a workshop on Food, Stress, & Sleep for the conservatory program at Nebraska School of Performing Arts.

I had the pleasure of educating and equipping young dancers with wellness basics to enhance their performance and set themselves up for long-term success.

I am so deeply grateful to and Audrey Barrett for hosting the event!

If you or an organization you know is interested in hosting a workshop for your team and/or clients, send us a DM!

We offer a variety of educational topics and free events as part of our mission to create a healthy community. 🫶

I'm going to be real with you for a minute.

Functional medicine isn't a magic pill. I cannot hand you a supplement and undo years of poor sleep, chronic stress, processed food, and untreated hormonal imbalance overnight.

What I CAN do is give you the roadmap. The right testing, the personalized plan, the supplements your body actually needs, and the support to make sustainable change.

But the day-to-day work? That belongs to you.

The protein at every meal. The 8 hours of sleep. The walks instead of doom-scrolling. The stress management. The not-going-back-to-the-thing-that-broke-you-in-the-first-place.

The women who get incredible results are the ones who decide they're worth the effort and then show up for themselves consistently.

If you're ready to do that work, I'm ready to walk it with you.

If you're struggling to get pregnant, your practitioner is probably zeroed in on your s*x hormones, but there are TWO other systems being completely overlooked:

Your adrenals.
Your gut.

Here's the truth: these three systems work together. One can't thrive if the others are struggling.

🔸 Chronic stress → elevated cortisol → disrupted s*x hormone production

🔸 Processed foods, sugar, and stress → gut imbalance → adrenal dysfunction → hormone chaos

You can't optimize fertility by looking at s*x hormones alone. We have to evaluate the whole picture.

If you've been doing "all the right things" and still not seeing results, this might be your missing piece.

Perimenopause tip you'll thank me for later ☕️👇

If I could share just ONE thing with women in perimenopause, it's this: don't drink coffee on an empty stomach.

Eat breakfast FIRST — aim for 25-35g of protein — then enjoy your coffee.

Why? Coffee on an empty stomach spikes your cortisol, which leads to:

⚡ Energy crashes later in the day
⚖️ Weight gain over time
😩 Hormonal chaos you don't need

Protein first. Coffee second.

Your hormones will thank you.

We recently covered the Dirty Dozen. Today, the good news: the Clean 15.

These are the fruits and vegetables EWG found to have the LOWEST pesticide residue in 2026. Meaning if your budget is tight, these are the items where buying conventional (non-organic) is generally a safer bet.

Swipe for the full 2026 Clean 15 list. 👉

A few things to keep in mind:

✅ "Lower residue" still doesn't mean zero — wash your produce well.
✅ Buying organic is still better when you can swing it.
✅ Eating MORE vegetables (even conventional ones) is almost always better than eating fewer.

Bottom line: Eat the rainbow, prioritize organic where it matters most, and stop stressing about the rest.

If you're taking a prenatal with folic acid in it, and you're positive for the MTHFR gene mutation, you may be doing more harm than good.

Here's why this matters:

The MTHFR gene is responsible for converting folate into its usable form (methylfolate).

When that gene has a mutation, your body can't efficiently process synthetic folic acid, and it can actually build up in the bloodstream where it competes with the active form your cells actually need.

For pregnant or TTC women, that's a big deal. We need methylfolate for healthy fetal development, hormone metabolism, detox pathways, and so much more.

The fix? Test, don't guess.

Once we know your MTHFR status, we can choose a prenatal (and a methylation protocol) that actually works WITH your genetics, not against them.

If you're trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or planning to be soon — this is a conversation worth having.

When cortisol stays elevated — from physical, chemical, or emotional stress — your body holds onto weight (especially around the middle), disrupts your sleep, and throws your s*x hormones off in the process.

And here's the kicker: standard bloodwork won't catch it.

The DUTCH hormone test gives us a full 24-hour picture of your cortisol pattern, plus a deep look at your s*x hormones.

We stop guessing and you finally get answers.

If your body feels like it's working against you, let's take a deeper look.

Play the long game with your health.

This is the message I come back to with my patients again and again.

The quick-fix culture has women chasing 30-day cleanses, miracle supplements, and crash diets, and then wondering why they feel worse six months later.

True healing is the daily, sometimes unglamorous work of nourishing your body, balancing your hormones, sleeping enough, moving your body, and managing stress.

The choices you make at 35 are setting the foundation for how you feel at 55. The choices you make at 55 set the stage for 75.

You don't need a quick fix. You need a sustainable approach with someone who is in it with you for the long haul.

That's exactly what we do here.

just released their 2026 Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce™ — and this year they found something new: widespread PFAS pesticide residue on non-organic fruits and vegetables.

PFAS are the "forever chemicals" we want NOWHERE near our endocrine system, our liver, or our kids.

Swipe to see the 2026 Dirty Dozen — the produce most contaminated with pesticide residue.

These are the ones I always recommend buying organic when it's possible.

You don't have to overhaul your entire grocery cart overnight. Start with the items you eat most.
