Embrace Wellness

03/24/2025

EXCITING NEWS! My dream job search has ended! After stepping away from running my own medical practice, I explored new opportunities with the incredible providers at Functional Medicine of Idaho. But deep down, I needed more--a career that truly fit my passions and lifestyle.

That's why I am thrilled to announce the launch of Only Hormones PLLC this May! My mission? Helping women and men optimize their hormones from the comfort of their home or office via telemedicine. Real conversations. Real solutions. Because you deserve to feel like yourself again!

Former Embrace Wellness patients will be receiving a letter in mail in the next couple of weeks with details. For those of you who didn't receive our numerous emails about the closure of Embrace Wellness last May, my deepest apologies. If you are interested in scheduling with me, please leave me a message at 208-800-0180. I look forward to seeing you!

A beautiful patient of mine touched my heart very deeply this week. She recognized that I was having an extremely tough time and let me know that she saw me. 💕 Her kind words and actions touched my heart more than she will ever know. Truly grateful.
I have a lot on my plate and there are some big announcements about to be made along with…well…just a lot of stuff.
Please remember that there is always a story behind someone’s behavior and response. Thank you to my dear patient for seeing me and showing only kindness and love. She changed my attitude and lifted some of my heaviness. Blessed beyond words 💕

Homemade veggie stock🧅🫑🥕
I started making my own stock last year when my daughter pointed out how much waste I had from trimming vegetables. I store my “scraps” in the freeze and when it’s full, I add water and herbs to simmer. Honestly it’s so much better than a boxed stock. I always keep a jar on the frig and several in the freezer.

Plant based and protein powered! It does a menopausal body good. What’s in your basket?

Being plant based has challenged me to add more protein without saturated fat of animal products. Try using potatoes as more of a garnish. These were gently boiled in water and finished in the oven without oil to turn out creamy on the inside and toasty on the outside. Embrace Taste!

When you think your provider has so much free time to relax😂😂😂😂😂
Obviously, I haven’t posted much lately because we have added 3-4 more patient appt slots everyday, more complex patients and just plain harder days. So this is my evening spent charting but also being thankful for my darling husband for making dinner and doing dishes, my staff that works so hard, my oldest daughter for sending me grand baby pictures to make me smile, and being able to listen to my youngest daughter streaming as background music on Twitch.
Hoping your evening is peaceful and relaxing🌙

Sorry ladies….You are not a horse, and I am not a veterinary.
Pregnant mare’s urine (Pre-Mar-In) doesn’t belong in your va**na!!! I have SO MANY options to treat va**nal dryness but this is NOT one that I will prescribe. The decrease in the hormone called Estriol and slowing of collagen production are the issues which can both be addressed without this product. And yes, I have personally hit the menopausal door and I know how to open it.

Vegan mushroom benny’s 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Inspired by .root.cafe but I have to say I nailed the hollandaise sauce!!! Secret weapons black salt, cashews and turmeric. It was so yummy! Love to recreate a recipe at home without the recipe. As Thomas Keller says “A recipe is just a guideline.”

Stressed or stress eating? Most of are. Great read to deal with stress and anxiety. Because you can’t always change you stress but you can absolutely change how you respond to it. Or you could just go live in a bubble 🤪

Foodie Friday!!!! With all the diet recommendations out there, this Idaho girl will not give up her potatoes! I just like to eat them with a ton of veggies!
Did you know that potatoes can boost your happy neurotransmitter called serotonin? And there is even a study in women showing that potatoes help with satiety—it’s related to the naturally occurring proteinase inhibitor II. So happy and satisfied!

These little gems are “smashed potatoes.” Boil those colorful little potatoes until they are soft. Cool in ice water. Smash them with the palm of your hand and fry with avocado oil until crispy on each side. I like to add salt, pepper and paprika. Enjoy!
