When we talk about gut health, most people think only of bacteria.

But the gut microbiome is actually made up of:

🦠 Bacteria
🦠 Viruses
🍄 Fungi
🪱 Parasites

Yep - parasites are part of the picture.

Here’s the important part:
Some parasites can cause uncomfortable symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, or weight loss.

But many people carry parasites without any symptoms at all. This is called asymptomatic carriage, and it’s much more common than most realize.

⚠️ Parasites are more of a concern in people with weakened immune systems.
For many otherwise healthy people, the body and microbiome keep them in check.

👉 Because of this, “parasite cleanses” aren’t always the answer. There’s little evidence that cleanses are effective, and they can sometimes disrupt the balance of beneficial microbes.

If you’re concerned about parasites:
👉Talk with your healthcare provider
👉Ask about stool testing before doing anything extreme
👉Support the gut daily with whole foods, fiber, hydration, sleep, and stress care

🌱 Remember: a strong, balanced microbiome is the best defense.

Thank you for posting this question about the difference between Food Allergies vs. Sensitivities vs. Intolerances!

When most people think of a food allergy, they imagine someone eating peanuts and rushing to the ER with a swollen tongue, hives, or difficulty breathing. That’s an immediate allergy - also called an IgE hypersensitivity reaction. It flips on an aggressive histamine response, and while these reactions are very serious, they’re actually quite rare.

👉 But there’s another type of food reaction that’s often ignored: the delayed allergy (also known as an IgG hypersensitivity reaction). These are much more common and can quietly create suffering for millions of people.

Unlike IgE reactions, IgG reactions don’t show up right away. Symptoms may take hours or even days to appear, making it hard to connect them to food. They can cause:

🔥 Brain fog, fatigue, or poor sleep
🔥Headaches, sinus congestion, or reflux
🔥Bloating, IBS, or gut discomfort
🔥Joint pain, acne, eczema, arthritis
🔥Weight gain, swelling, fluid retention
🔥Mood struggles, anxiety, depression

Why? Because the immune system mistakenly flags proteins in otherwise healthy foods as invaders. The result = inflammation.

✨ And then there’s food intolerance, which isn’t about the immune system at all. Instead, it’s about missing enzymes needed to digest certain foods.
Example: Lactose intolerance happens when the body doesn’t make enough lactase (the enzyme that digests milk sugar). This leads to bloating, gas, and diarrhea, but not hives or an immune flare-up.

✅ Quick recap:
👉IgE = immediate histamine allergy (rare but severe)
👉IgG (and sometimes IgA/IgM) = delayed food sensitivity (common +chronic + inflammatory)
👉Intolerance = missing enzyme, not immune-related

Understanding the difference can be a game-changer in figuring out what’s really going on with your child (or yourself).

“Thriving kids don’t just change their own future - they change their families and communities too."

At Full Quiver Wellness Sanctuary, I believe that every child deserves more than quick fixes. By looking at the whole child: their gut, brain, immune system, environment, and emotional well-being, I help parents uncover the root causes of health struggles and help assist in creating optimal health.

Because when kids thrive → families thrive → communities thrive. 💛

This is why I do what I do.

Parents - what’s the one health topic you wish you had more clarity on for your child? 👇 I might feature it in a future post!

Ear infection… again? Instead of another antibiotic, let’s pause and ask why.

Recurrent ear infections often signal deeper imbalances like:

🦠 Gut issues: yeast overgrowth or imbalances in healthy bacteria can drive inflammation.

🚬 Environmental factors: exposure to secondhand smoke, mold, allergens, or daycare germs increases risk.

🥛 Immune challenges: frequent viral colds, low vitamin D, low zinc (and other immune supportive nutrients) or food sensitivities (especially dairy 🥛) can weaken defenses.

When we dig into these root causes whether it’s gut health, environment, or immune support we can help kids heal stronger and reduce the cycle of repeat infections. 🌿

Because thriving kids start with digging deeper, not just treating symptoms.

Is your child melting down before 10am or 2pm every day?
It might not be “just their personality.” Most often, those meltdowns are signs of blood sugar crashes.

👉 Here’s what happens:
A sugary or carb-heavy breakfast (think cereal, muffins, pastries, or pancakes with syrup) gives a quick spike in blood sugar ⬆️.

Then comes the hard crash ⬇️ … cue the crankiness, fatigue, mood swings, and trouble focusing often before lunch or mid afternoon.

The good news? You can help steady their energy and mood by choosing protein + healthy fats at breakfast and lunch.
✔️ Eggs with avocado
✔️ Nut butter on whole-grain toast
✔️ Greek yogurt with chia seeds and berries
✔️ Turkey sausage with veggies

Balanced meals mean steady blood sugar → calmer mornings, better focus, and a happier day for the whole family. 💕

Recently, I’m noticing a few things going around with kids in the community:
✨ Viruses
✨ Strep throat
✨ A GI bug with vomiting, diarrhea, and low-grade fevers

If your child is showing symptoms of strep throat, please make an appointment with your provider as soon as possible so we can get them tested and treated quickly.

For viruses or GI bugs, the best first steps are plenty of rest, hydration, and monitoring their temperature. Be sure to reach out if you notice concerning signs like high fever, dehydration (very little urine output, dry mouth, no tears), difficulty breathing, or if symptoms are worsening instead of improving.

💜 As a functionally certified family nurse practitioner, I’m here not only to help families through these current illnesses, but also to support building stronger immune foundations for the long run.

It's National Dog Day! 🐶

If you’ve ever been to the office, you’ve probably met Bentley -my sidekick, emotional support, and professional greeter. She’s got the biggest heart, loves her walks (as long as they aren’t too long 😉), and has a special way of reminding me and my patients that slowing down, resting, and finding joy in the little things matters for our health too.

Pets really do help lower stress, boost feel-good hormones, and keep us grounded. Bentley is living proof.

Drop a photo of your pup below so we can celebrate all the dogs who bring comfort, laughter, and unconditional love to our lives!

Sleep is when a child’s brain and body do some of their most important work.

During deep sleep:
🧠 Brain “detox” mode turns on: the glymphatic system flushes out waste and toxins that build up during the day, keeping the brain healthy and sharp.
📚 Learning locks in: neurons form new connections, cementing what your child learned that day.
💪 Growth hormones are released: helping muscles, bones, and tissues repair and grow.
🛡 Immune system strengthens: making it easier to fight off colds and illnesses.
⚖ Emotions stabilize: sleep supports healthy neurotransmitter balance, reducing mood swings and anxiety.

When kids don’t get enough sleep, you might notice:
👉 Irritability or emotional meltdowns
👉Trouble focusing or learning
👉Increased sugar cravings
👉Weakened immune defenses

📌 Tip: Most school-aged kids need 9–12 hours of sleep each night. A calming bedtime routine (dim lights, no screens an hour before bed, consistent sleep/wake times) helps their body and brain know it’s time to recharge.

A good night’s sleep is a daily reset button for the brain and body... even for you!

We often think of anxiety as “all in the mind,” but it’s not always that simple.
Sometimes, the body is quietly calling for help.

Research shows that certain nutrient deficiencies can impact mood, focus, and resilience to stress. For some children, low levels of key nutrients may contribute to anxious thoughts, restlessness, or emotional ups and downs.

Nutrients to consider:
🥚 Choline – supports healthy brain development and neurotransmitter production.
🍗 B vitamins – vital for energy, nervous system balance, and stress resilience.
🥗 Magnesium – the “calming mineral” that helps regulate mood and relaxation.
🫘 Amino acids – building blocks for neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
🍔 Iron – essential for oxygen delivery to the brain and energy metabolism.
🦪Zinc – important for brain signaling, gut health, and immune balance.

This doesn’t mean anxiety is only about nutrition. Emotional, environmental, and social factors all play a role, but it does mean that when we look deeper, we sometimes find surprisingly simple things that can make a big difference.

If your child struggles with anxiety, it may be worth exploring nutrient status as part of a root-cause approach. Supporting the body can help support the mind.

As your kids head back to school, it’s time to stock up on smart snacks that keep their energy stable, focus sharp, and tummies happy.

The goal? Snacks that don’t spike blood sugar or leave them crashing mid-math class..... and that support healthy digestion too!

Here are some blood sugar and gut-friendly snack ideas to pack or have ready after school:

🥒 Veggies & Dip
Think cucumber slices, mini bell peppers, or carrot sticks with guacamole, hummus, or a protein-packed Greek yogurt ranch.

🍎 Apple Slices + Nut Butter
A classic! Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or h**p seeds for extra nutrients and fiber.

🧀 Turkey & Cheese Roll-Ups
Simple, protein-rich, and satisfying. Add a pickle or avocado slice for bonus gut-loving benefits.

🍿 Popcorn with Olive Oil & Sea Salt
Air-popped and minimally seasoned = a fiber-filled, fun snack.

🍠 Mini Sweet Potato Muffins
Naturally sweet and packed with fiber and prebiotics. Bake ahead and freeze for grab-and-go ease. Example recipe: https://whatgreatgrandmaate.com/paleo-sweet-potato-muffins/ -recipe-container-17518

🫐 Trail Mix with a Twist
Combine raw nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, and a few dried blueberries. Skip the sugary raisins and M&Ms 😉 https://www.thecreativebite.com/blueberry-dark-chocolate-superfood-trail-mix/

🥚 Hard-Boiled Eggs with Everything Bagel Seasoning
Protein and healthy fats that are easy to prep ahead.

🍶 Coconut Yogurt Parfaits
Top with chia seeds and fresh berries for a gut-friendly, dairy-free option.

🌱 Homemade Energy Balls
Made with oats, nut butter, chia/flaxseeds, and a drizzle of honey or dates. Add cinnamon or a few mini dark chocolate chips for fun. https://wholefoodfor7.com/chocolate-fudge-date-balls/

✨Remember: snacks don’t have to be complicated. A little planning goes a long way in keeping your kids nourished, balanced, and feeling good from the inside out.

As summer winds down, many kids are coming off weeks of irregular routines, extra sugar, late nights, and screen time overload. It’s been fun, but their little systems are ready for a reset.

Here’s what I’m supporting with my pediatric patients right now:

🧠 Sleep: Earlier bedtimes help regulate cortisol, mood, and immune function. It’s not just about school readiness - it’s about their brain health.

🍎 Nourishment: After a season of goldfish and popsicles (no shame—we’ve all been there), we’re bringing back blood sugar stability with protein, healthy fats, and nutrient-dense snacks.

🧬 Gut health: Tummy aches, irritability, and poor focus often trace back to the gut. Bring in soluble fiber (like oats, chia, and berries) to soothe digestion and insoluble fiber (like carrots, seeds, and broccoli) to support healthy elimination. A balanced microbiome = better mood, focus, and immune function.

🧼 Detox support: From chlorine and sunscreen to melatonin and antibiotics, their bodies have been working. Gentle detox strategies (like epsom salt baths, hydration, and fiber-rich foods) help clear the clutter.

📚 Immune priming : As we head into fall, we support foundational immunity with targeted nutrients (zinc, vitamin D, omega-3s) and rhythms that calm inflammation.

If your child struggles with behavior, belly aches, eczema, picky eating, or poor sleep or more.... we take it seriously. And we get to the root.
